What I learned at WOSCA - Feb 6

[opal]

1. Winter in Canada is unpredictable. So are parking lot conditions.

2. People always make asses of themselves when there's a camera around (or maybe it's just me?).

3. 2 out of 3 drivers spin an Insight - The less spectacular spinout (http://insightracing.ca/videos/Jason_insight_2005-02-06-spinout.wmv)

4. Nothing is more embarassing than having the marshals head for your car after you spin - to push you out of the snow. :o

5. The replacement cafe is great. A little slow, but good food.

6. Can we get the icy corner of death back? Pretty please?

1) sun screen is a requirment even in the winter

2) Jason's other favorite song is "Twinkle Twinkle little star"....

3) food at the new resturant is good as long as they don't forget to make it....

4) motorcycles in woodstock are driven by insane idiots....

5) autocross is :cool:

[StewPiddass]

did that local go by on one wheel again? last year he must have gone at least a km...

[Marsh]

1. ONE week old snow tires KICK A$$! :eek:

2. Apperently I'm good in slop... but it might be the car?

3. It's amazing how one unexpeteced success can get you back on the wagon for a season of autoslalom.


BTW the bike was a green one with orange flames. I don't think I've seen him before. No wheelies, just going very fast in very cold weather.

1) Never sing a song about a hummer with the camera still on

2) 41.2 raw time in an insight ohhhhh yeah .....

3) Insights can be tail happy

4) New resturant should have been named "frazzled" all of us getting meals at the same time sure did create mass confusion for them

5) Andrew's given up VWs for Domestics... interesting

6) Marsh is super fast ... did you take Tony's advice and put your R's on?

7) tune with sway bars or shocks? that is the dinner question...

[Spinner]

Heres what I learned:

1. Racing a winter track with above zero temperatures rocks

2. Hankook snow tires have execellant bite

3. Losing your exhaust to a shitty mechanics weld and having to go home early..............................................................SUCKS!!!!



I just wanted to thank Marshall and the other guy(sorry don't know your name yet) for helping me out yesterday, Got the prelude home safe and sound. I was in worse shape than the car, Soaking wet from crawling under it and I sliced my hand on that shitty weld......see above

CAN'T WAIT TILL THE NEXT EVENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ran the snows all day long. I didn't bring anything else. It's my firm belief that performance tires will not win at temperatures below 10 deg C. At the temperatures we had in the last two runs I think the hot tire to have would have been a high performance "non-ice" snow tire, or even an open tread all season.
