FC in the PNW

[ccoffin]

Thanks Blair!

[milesmcewing]

Good Day Greg/Charles,

Doug will be coming to Spokane, he has become the fourth in our trailer this year as Bill is moving his car to Infineon for the year.

I'll br bringing the Juno down as well - save us a parking space!

The spot worked great last year if you can fit us there again.

See you soon, get the beer in the fridge and call me if you need anything.

Cheers
Miles

PS I did not get the newsletter, just because I bought an SR and sold my FC does not mean you have to exclude me!!

[ccoffin]

I think someone in Northern California should invest in some sort of transport device and haul all the FC's up here for a couple weekends a year.

[greg pizzo]

We should be back on track with a few different iterations of a VD FC/FS/FA cars very soon, stay tuned

[HayesCages]

You could host a nice party as well if you came to the track with this...

[ccoffin]

Greg- we look forward to it.

Lawrence- I forgot to include in the mission statement the importance of the party to Pacific Northwest fc

[Michael Lensen]

Only if he buys his car back between now and then mate.

I just knew this was going to happen, I miss you FC guys already!!
I am working on getting back into a FC asap, but probably won't make Spokane this year.
You know something is wrong when work gets in the way of racing, obviously I don't have my priorities right. Working on that too.

Michael Lensen

[ccoffin]

Not going to lie Michael, I had a feeling this might happen. I actually sent the newsletter to you but the email I have for you bounced it back. Can you pm me your email and I will get it to you tonight.

[ccoffin]

Michael I believe I found your correct email and have sent you the news letter. I also believe I have corrected all but two of the incorrect emails I had.

I have a couple of people who I have old email addresses for that got bounced back and I do not have info on their cars either; got their info long before the newsletter group was being formed so if anyone has current contact info for Gord Leach or Ed Scheide I would appreciate it. Or maybe they have moved on from FC at this point, so does anyone know if they still have cars?

Also still looking for contact info for John Hill too.

[HayesCages]

Googled this: "john hill scca 143976" Lot's of hits. He lives in Seattle apparently.

And this: "gord leach emerald park, alberta ca."

Maybe this: Edward and Nancy Scheid Gig Harbor, wa 425?-(853-6843) or 253 219 2191

[BEL]

Gord Leach is out of Regina, Saskatchewan and I don't believe he has his FC any longer. He only runs vintage FF (Lotus) as for as I know

Thanks for your efforts in collecting names and communicating with the PNW FC group. It is very much needed and appreciated.

[ccoffin]

Thanks brad. I appreciate it. Are we going to see you and your citation at Spokane?

[alangbaker]

Thanks brad. I appreciate it. Are we going to see you and your citation at Spokane?

I'd say it depends a lot on how soon it can be put to rights again...

And I say that, Brad, in the knowledge that I too have a car that is in need of repair.

Charlie

Ed sold his car and retired from racing a few years ago.

[ccoffin]

Charlie

Ed sold his car and retired from racing a few years ago.

Then why'd you give me his email?

[rickb99]

Charlie Ed (Scheid) sold his car and retired from racing a few years ago.

I agree with that. Ed had a BEAUTIFULLY restored Reynard and decided to sell it and go build an airplane instead of racing it.

We picked up a couple of spare Reynard wheels he had laying in his garage at the time. I think his Reynard ended up back in Europe.

Here it is in case you're interested:

And yes, he got the asking price.

[gcoffin]

Just forgot to take him off....we bought his hoist

[ccoffin]

That Reynard is gorgeous. Too bad it is no longer up here. Thanks Brad, Alan, and Rick for the info.

And dad since it is already Father's Day in Manila, happy Father's Day.

[gcoffin]

And happy Father's Day to you son

[rickb99]

....Thanks Brad, Alan, and Rick for the info.... in Manila

Manila Huh? Great city!!!

I was there for a weekend once during the Vietnam War. Favorite moment was when an 83 year old woman sat on my lap in a bar and told me the story's of when she was a gorilla fighter against the Japanese occupation army!

Not too long after that I took a week long leave in Manila (good times). But also spent a memorable day in Quezon City drinking beer and eating chicken in the restaurant of the Mayor. His son served aboard my ship.

Fond memories of a wonderful people. What are you doing in Manila???

[gcoffin]

Just my job mate Exploration Geologist

[ccoffin]

I just sent out the July/August newsletter for those on the list that have cars or should have cars by next year. There is a survey attached. If you think that you should have received this version of the newsletter but did not or you would like to be included in the mailing list please pm me.

[Blair Robertshaw]

Yes please Charlie. Add me to the list. Thanks very much.

[ccoffin]

I knew I was missing someone!!!!! Also I heard from the little birdie again.... Someone on the mailing list got an FC! I won't reveal their secret though. But if they wanted to share here I will let them do so themselves.

[milesmcewing]

Was it a little birdie or a big giant birdie (that may not fit in the car anyway....)

[HayesCages]

M.L. perhaps?

[ccoffin]

little birdie told me about the big birdie

[ccoffin]

M.L. perhaps?

not yet that I know of. still waiting til his ff sells

[HayesCages]

Never mind...

[Gary_T]

Greg/Charlie - can you add me to your list?

I've got a '84 Reynard that is currently FF, but used to be FC - all the bits are sitting in the garage if I decided to swap it back.

Gary

[ccoffin]

Ya I thought I added you to the list Gary. You should receive it shortly.

[HayesCages]

Do it

[ccoffin]

Put one too many s's in vission

[greg pizzo]

fail to see the reference "speakin of G.P." BUT yes you DO owe me some info on some radiators and oil coolers ..... unless there is another G.P. that you are referring to ??

[ccoffin]

I was personally wondering if Lawrence meant Greg pizzo or Gary Poole (cf driver in Spokane)

[Blair Robertshaw]

OK so this thread is now info on the :

ML Birdie for the GP IN SW for FC and VIP's who like to watch the FC in comp at the GP! OK...I like it!

no wonder the class in PC NW is growing so much! look at the fun on the thread alone..

[HayesCages]

GP was Greg Pizzo (I edited it away though) Greg, I'm sorry but my spell checker says your last name is not Pizzo but Pizza. Do you mind?
Gary Poole is indeed a FF driver, not FC but who knows?

Greg Pizzo, guys at Howe Racing are less than responsive sometimes but if I actually call them they get back to me.
I'll call them and see where we're at. I still have your drawings here, right in front of me...so no excuse. Although an un-named customer may be getting into Monterey Pre-Reunion and the main event a week later as well which means we have less than a week to make things good with his car. Oh, and transport it there as well.
I'll work on this the beginning of next week.
LH

[greg pizzo]

HAHA I've never been called Pizza before OR maybe a MILLION times
with all the iterations you can make of my last name "thin skin" is not an option ..
just curious tho still .... I read all the posts leading yours and still don’t understand the "Speaking of G.P. ..... " what brought me into this thread ?

not in a huge hurry for the rads ...

[ccoffin]

Lawrence, you should talk your unnamed customer into selling unnamed car and getting an unnamed FC to come out and have fun. Depending on who unnamed customer is it might really piss my dad off which is always good fun. Or at least force him to drive better... You know like not getting pole the first day at Spokane.

[HayesCages]

Un-named customer's wife says NO! to OW racing of any kind.
Besides, who wants some 22 YO kid racing/beating our pants off? He's doing pretty good in SRF and will be at the Run-Offs I believe.
