    Well, there were definitely lows and highs this past weekend.

    I started off on a low, when I got all the way out to Abbotsford to hook
    up to my tow vehicle... ...and realized that I'd forgotten to transfer
    my garage and trailer keys to my tow vehicle when I moved over my racing gear.

    Then I went to the track and I was buoyed back up by the fact that my friend, Keith (from whom I rent the garage for the car) had his keys to
    the garage and the spare key for my trailer hitch lock was hanging up inside.

    So back to Abbotsford with very little time to spare to hook up the
    trailer and make registration... ...which became an impossibility when I accidentally dropped the nose of the trailer off the ball. The time it
    would take to get it back onto the ball would have meant arriving after registration had close for Saturday.

    But there was still Sunday, and since I'd registered in two classes in
    two separate groups (as a Formula F in Open Wheel 2 and as a Formula
    Libre running without the restrictor in Open Wheel 1), I was still going
    to get a decent amount of track time.

    From there, the weekend unfolded... ...decently.

    I went out for qualifying for Formula F and after helping a friend learn
    the lines, I set out to do my own best lap... ...only to discover that
    the gasoline that seemed to be on my dipstick was just from the foam in
    the fuel cell being moist. So I didn't turn any truly representative
    times, but somewhat fortunately, no one else turned much of a lap and I ended up second on the grid.

    In Formula Libre, after pulling the restrictor, my best time was
    1:14.722; good enough that I was in front of two FCs that still had a 15-20hp advantage on me and wings as well. But after looking at my
    tires, I realized I had over-compensated for the ambient temperature and once up to race pace, the tires were too crowned.

    For the first Formula F race of the day, I drop the tire pressures by
    2psi (to 11psi front and 13psi rear), and my best race lap was 1:13.958; better than I'd run despite once again having a restrictor to limit the power to the level of the Kent. I won the race by more than 49 seconds, although if the new guy, Rob (running the stickier Hoosier Club Ford
    tire to my American Racers), hadn't had to brake problems, I think he
    and I would have had a terrific battle for the win.

    In the first Open Wheel 1 race on Sunday, I knew I was just out there to have a good time. In all honesty, 130hp and no wings for added downforce
    was simply not going to match up to the 145-150hp and wings of the FCs;
    to say nothing of the guy in his F1000 motorcycle-engined car (a car of
    that class holds our outright lap record) turning laps in about 1:05.
    But I still think I gave a good account of myself. At the end of the
    race, there were still to FCs behind me, neither of whom managed to turn
    a faster lap than my best.

    Then it all came apart again.

    While putting the restrictor back into the car for the second Open Wheel
    2, Formula F race, I managed to drop a bolt down the front of the engine into the same area as the belt for the oil scavenge pump and alternator
    and the search for it took me past the time I had to get the car to
    pre-grid in time for the race. And with the race that really mattered to
    me no longer a possibility, I simply decided that running the car with a bolt loose in the engine bay near exposed, vital components wasn't worth
    the risk of going out for the final Formula Libre race in Open Wheel 1.

    Rob, who'd had braking problems that put him out of contention in the
    first race of the day, did make the second race after finding some
    o-rings that would cure his brake caliper leak, and his best lap of that race was just a whisker faster than my best lap of the first race of the day; just 15 thousandths of a second faster. But he was on the Hoosier
    Club Ford tire and the consensus seems to be that they are about a 1.5-2 second advantage around our track.

    So a foreshortened weekend...

    ...purely my own fault...

    ...but still a lot of fun.

    Others were far less lucky.

    Erle's weekend ended during qualifying for race 1 on Saturday, when—out
    of the blue, his car snapped viciously to the left while braking for
    turn 1, and he hit the wall hard. No damage to him, but his Tiga is
    going to need a LOT of repair; both front suspensions, the front mounted radiator, parts of the rear end, bodywork. It was a bit of a mess. But
    the construction of the car did its job and he walked away with nothing
    but sore thumbs from being unable to get his hands away from the
    steering wheel quickly enough.

    One of our newly graduated novices, Courtenay, never got to race a
    single session on Sunday, as the car she is sharing with its owner
    suffered an engine problem while he, Don, was running the car on
    Saturday to complete his novice program.

    My good friend Pierre, whom I beat in qualifying despite him being in FC
    to my FF (unrestricted) but still...

    ...he lost the car coming out of turn 9 and ended up going backwards
    into the inside wall at about 85mph. Once again, the damage to the car wasn't good, but the driver was completely fine.

    The new drivers in FF bode well for the coming year, and once we all
    come to a consensus about what tires to run, I think we're going to get
    some good racing for everyone.

    :-)

    Do people laugh when they see an old man with a really bad combover walking those pits? I sure would.

    LOL! you were trying to teach the ignorant? LOL! What planet do you live on old man?

    Truth be it, we could all afford to buy expensive fast cars and race them and brag about it on a dead golf newsgroup, but frankly most of us have bigger priorities.

    And if we did have a fast car and raced, we sure would not be discussing it on a dead golf newsgroup like you do old man.

    I have a daughter getting married next year, a son going to college , that is money well worth spent. But if you have no one in your life, then I guess a fast car is a suitable substitute, hey whatever floats your boat. I never met anyone that races or
    talks about it, better use of money and time, than going around and around and around.

    A senior citizen talking about participating in what is clearly a young mans sport, and a sport that is expensive and boring to most of us, is there not another venue to discuss this?. Or, is this old man so desperate for attention, this is the best he
    can do.

    Bottom line, this is hilarious shit. This twit is hilarious, take it for what it is worth. A comedian just performing his craft.

    Skill I could give a SHIT about. Skill that virtually no one gives a shit about. So glad old man you have the skill, big shit. We are not impressed. But so glad you have the skill, so glad you have found something that makes it worth waking up in
    the morning. The idea of going round and round and round a wace track does nothing for me, and virtually no one out there but a fringe group, but I am so glad you have found something to help you pass the time, as you have no kids or family. We are
    all growng old gracefully, let the young go round and round, no reason to put ourselves in danger and spend unnecessary money on something where there are bigger priorities, like a property, retirement, vacations, and family.
    Just know old man, we do not have the skill. But if your reminding us that YOU have the skill gives you a boost and sense of self worth, well please remind us. So happy Grandpa that you have the skill. Remind us daily please. And we will laugh daily,
    you are one funny guy.

    You might be able to buy one. They're not really that expensive.

    But it takes skill to do it well.

    Skill I very much doubt you have.

    LOL!

    Skill I could give a SHIT about. Skill that virtually no one gives a
    shit about.

    And yet, here you are... ...ranting.
