Hi Ryan, William's planning to attend, beside the owners permission on the registration form I take it you still need a minor (he's 16) waiver signed? Do you guys use the same ASN one? Will you have some on hand?

Yes, yes, and ....... yes!

You can always d/l it from the ASN site as well, just to be sure.

Edit: Let me double-check with DD. GO used to have an 18+ rule for our events, I'm not sure if it still exists for 2009.

[smokinfire]

Wow, it's been a long off-season... I can't wait to kill some cones!

[Parker]

Hurray it's finally here; 21 degrees and sunny too! Hopefully I got all the cone punting/munching out of my system at Mosport, if not then I feel sorry for them!

Do you have an address that can be typed in the GPS? I moved recently to Mississauga and I'm not familiar with the area.

[Marsh]

Google maps can give you GPS coordinates. Access is off of Alfred Kuehne Blvd. (which is very short)

[Benzin!]

Ok. I'll just follow the googlemaps instructions since I'm not very far from there anyway.

Unfortunately, the rule is still in our contract with GO. All competitors must be 18 years of age or older.

Damnit.

Ill have to see you guys on June 7th. My cars not ready and I gotta help a buddy seal up his basement.

[DareBee]

If you change your mind about the basement, you can drive the sideways.

Hey thanks! Much appreciated Derek. But my friends got a trench down one side of his house that we dug last weekend to expose his leaky foundation. We gotta get it sealed up this weekend while the weather is good.

I have been waiting for the weather to be warm enough to ride my bike to work so I could take my time swaping my drivetrain. I had decided to just do it on the long weekend but my friend decided to start digging then. Now I have to get it done this coming week and next weekend for PITL #2.

[Benzin!]

A very good event today with a nice course and great weather. I enjoyed a lot.
Thumbs up for the organizers.
If anybody has some pictures maybe you'll post them....videos even better:D

[Jon04CTSV]

Great day :)

Great day :)

If I had the garage you and your dad have, every day would be a great day :D

If I had 13 inches... I'll let you finish that thought ;)

[Ziploc]

Fantastic event. Once I figured out the course I really started to enjoy it.

[elementZ]

defiantly a good time. there was always 1 damn cone out to get me :confused:

[Fentin_fury]

had a great time! quick runs and well organized as always.

Q

[dgmorr]

Who was driving the orange "72 GTR". That thing was amazing, it gave me goosebumps.

[twinch]

Who was driving the orange "72 GTR". That thing was amazing, it gave me goosebumps.

His name was Quinten(I hope I spelledit right). I was talking to him about the rb 26 DETT swap and he was saying that the swap was actually pretty painless. The mounting points were close to the original inline 6 from the car. It was beautiful, I have to remember to get to him early in an event to co drive with him. Quinten, I love that car.

The Lotus was another one of my favourites.

I loved the event, and everyone I met was great. The course was pretty technical which was fun, and once the first section of the course was understood, everything went pretty smoothly. I was a bit nervous the first run with the intersection of cars on course but hey, what's autocross without a little sense of danger.:) Thanks to all the organizers at PITL, you made for one of the best events I have been too in a while.

I think my problem was lunch though because once I had a belly full of Coffee Time Egg Salad Sandwich and donut, I don't think I had 1 clean run. I blame Coffee Time.

[aviography]

If anybody has some pictures maybe you'll post them....

I would have been there to take some pics, except I did this airborne photoshoot instead.

Hope to make the June 7th event.

[smokinfire]

What a great day for anything outside! I finally got a good set of R's, and need to learn that I can push harder - a lot harder...
Also, there is nothing you can do to scare the pylons away from your car :D


Here are the videos that I took...

I must have missed the bit in the drivers meeting when they offered a 10 second bonus for spinning out in the stop box without hitting any cones :eek: - watch cars 56 and 65

Funny, I knew the Z car wasn't going to stop in time after watching it on the back straight. You can see me walking backwards as I was marshalling the stop box lol "oh boy, oh boy... oohhhh crap!"

Amazing day, amazing farmer's tan!

[Fentin_fury]

It is Quentin aka Fentin_fury

thanks for the comments guys - see you next time. co pilots welcome

Do you have any online photo albums of the car, or more info?

[03 spec r1]

haha quentin's stop box slide was better than mine... i took out two of the side pylons and then they gave me an off course:confused: oh well. it was a great day and a lot of fun! cant wait till the 7th

[smokinfire]

^^^ I need to stop by and have a better look at your lotus sometime, it's a lot of fun watching you pitch it around the course.

[DareBee]

There was a red Miata did this best slide, must have taken out 8 cones in the run.

i took out two of the side pylons and then they gave me an off course:confused:
To clarify the OC. Part of a completed run is driving out the end of the stop box. You would have had to back out or drive around cones to get out, either is an OC.

We appreciate and enjoy all the great people that come to our events. You help make the events great.
Thanks, and hope to see you all next event.

[03 spec r1]

ahh thanks for clarifying... i dont really care anyways, just out for fun.

Here are some of the pictures I got

Enjoy!

These pics are exceptionally well done! They are very good examples of the art of cropping to highlight the subject matter and enhance detail.

Ah second again, damn pesky IS300! He was cooking.

[Benzin!]

thanks.
if you have problems seeing the 2009 season in Mozilla hold down Shift and Refresh the page since it keeps it cached.

Hey Greg,

Thanks for the compliments. Your cheque's in the mail :)

Parker,

It's a Lexus IS300, not a "Pesky" :p

[Taylor]

Ugh. I so hate missing this. My insurance card (temp) expired on Friday and I forgot to call them to get a new temp and ultimately didn't know if I had insurance or not. Ironically all the permanent paperwork shows up Monday. Grrr. There goes a throwaway. 6 of 8 this year? 5 of 8 would be cooler. :p

[DareBee]

Anal - what the hell you need papers for?
You are insured and wouldn't get inspected anyway.

[13inches]

"Hello, CAA? My car broke down, I need it towed to my mechanic near Bramalea GO Station" (there's plenty of them in the area)

8 hours later.....

"Hello, CAA? He couldn't fix it, please tow me home"


:cool:

[DareBee]

Always more than one way to skin a cat.

I didn't have a co-driver either.

[yangsui]

A little late to the thread but my membership has just been cleared by the admins.

Great event! I'm still a novice and really enjoyed the challenge of a tight, technical course. Had a lot of fun eating cones (4 on run #3, sorry marshals). Will definitely be at the next event.

BTW, Quentin and his z car gave me the most intense ride of my life.

[Taylor]

Well the thing is I had no verification the car was covered, just the brokers 1 month temp slip until friday. So it's possible I had no insurance at all (the fact it was already 30 days since I "got" insurance in the first place had me wondering...)

All my past experience is with "brokers" which are just fronts for the underwriter, so a change happens right then and there and I have new documentation in a few days. This.. has been different (and slow).

[DareBee]

Just be out next time ol' boy

[Taylor]

Just be out next time ol' boy

Yes yes. :p

[Burnsey]

Hey guys - looking forward to this Sunday!

A question about fun runs: a friend would like to show up and try an easy lap or two at the end of the day. If we have time for fun runs, does he need to register at the start of the day?

Thanks!

[13inches]

Fun runs are for drivers who have registered, paid, signed the waiver and attended the morning driver's meeting.

If he wants to ride along as a passenger, a simple signing of the waiver will suffice.

A competitor from event one emailed the club with these pics:

Thanks to all who took pictures.

[Marsh]

What's with all the FSAE cars lately? We even had Windsor out to Sarnia this past Sunday.

[Black Shadow]

Had one at Picton on sunday too. But I hear it got beat by a stock miata.

NVM, his car ain't stock.....

[elementZ]

the Michigan competition just passed (may 13-16) so it cant be prep for that. But there is the Cali competition june 17-20. maybe its practice/prep for that. or they are just fun runs cause Michigan is over.
