Well, that was a gas! Those of you who didn't make it (nudge, nudge) missed a great day at the track. Johnny took a bunch of pictures which will help tell the story, and before I blab on and on about it, it's only fair that Brian and Colby (the club racers) have a chance to post their experiences. Did I mention that it was a great day at the track?

I am exhausted from the day, but man was it fun. Of course the day some more Fieros show up I don't even have mine with me. Oh well. I had a lot of fun driving my dad's 914 with him, improving on each other's times until he eventually got the better time by half a second.
Anyway, the weather worked out to be OK. I think it scared off some people since there were 40-something drivers compared to last weekend where there was I think 62 the first day then 50 the second day. That combined with getting a slightly earlier start and we got a total of 8 runs each (where it was 5 then 6 last weekend). Looking forward to seeing the pictures and I hope to see at least one more Fiero driving in September. |

My favorite still frame from Johnny's video... The only unfortunate part of the whole experience today was that Clynt's dog Sam was trying to launch himself at Frankie repeatedly in what appeared to be an aggressive manner. Sam's usually such a sweet dog. Clynt implied that all Sammy wanted to do was play, but huskies and bulldogs are quite different beasts and Frankie interpreted Sammy's behaviour (rightly or wrongly) as threatening. Being a typical husky, she wasn't going to back down and there were plenty of teeth being displayed all day! No harm came to either dog, but Clynt and I couldn't stand anywhere near each other without canine fireworks!
Heh heh... Turns out that the woman (one of the drivers) in the above picture recognized Frankie. She was the grade 5 teacher for my girlfriend's daugher at Jules Quesnel two years ago. Small world! (Truth be told, Frankie is my girlfriend's dog.) Thanks for shooting the video and posting the pictures, Johnny. [EDIT] I don't know what's now happened to John's video.

Brian, that was a blast today. Thanks so much for letting me come along as a passenger all those times. Funny that in the first run on a race track ever for me, you spun your car out! Made a few of those track attendants scramble! Cue the Elvis video again. And Frankie says you're one cool dude.

Colby, I want thank you and your dad for allowing me go along as a passenger a couple of times with each one of you. That was great fun. First time for me ever riding in a Porsche!

John, sorry I didn't get much of a chance to comment yesterday on your car. Too many distractions with the excitement of going to the track and having the hound with me. The new rear end looks great! It's interesting looking at the three completely different looking treatments of the tails in this shot of the three Fieros. These really are fun cars to alter and make "personal".

I didn't even notice that shot with different treatments, thanks for pointing that out, nice samples. I'll be tweaking the rear end again later on Added note: Thanks Brian for that scary ride |

Just so you know, there was NO meeting last Saturday! The club meeting is this coming Saturday. That should make you feel better! |
