With current registration numbers, our plan is to run two student run groups which means that means that you should have over two hours of track time, plus classroom instruction. You will have one instructor for the school day.

I just want to thank all of our club members who came out to help this weekend. It makes a HUGE difference, believe me. For some moments we probably had too many, and for most it was just right in my opinion!

Thank you again!

[Lloyd]

It was a really nice event for a first timer at the big track like me. So thanks for being a diligent forum spammer and letting some of us random people know about the event.

I wish I could have come back on Sunday (since I paid for it and all :P) but the car broke....

Stephen,
Thank you for hosting and organizing the weekend. I enjoyed the opportunity to coach, as always, and loved the competition. I did need more sessions to allow me to get closer to Salmaan. There will not be an excuse like that in August!

WooHoo - 111.041 in the 2.49 mile!

Many thanks Stephen and crew for putting on such an awesome event. And thanks to old guy for boosting my confidence after an interesting first day.

Lots of stuff for my old brain to take in, and be ready for next time.

Looking forward to Mosport again!

Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear that Lloyd! At least you gave it a good work out!! Hopefully it's not TOO broken? ($$$)

Steve did an excellent job once again. Thanks for working your ass off and having the weekend go so well. I am still exhausted.

[Lloyd]

I think it's my alternator, swapping in a spare today and seeing what happens. I could have tried to come back for Sunday but I didn't get home until 1:30am, limping the car home with a friend boosting it every 10 minutes. No way could I swap an alt, sleep for a few hours and come back after a day like Sat.

Anyway, not too broken...I'm lucky that I got the full day in, because in retrospect the alt was going throughout the day, if that was in fact the problem.

Great job Stephen. I loved the lunch hour drivers meeting on Sunday. That was so worthy of making it into the Wes' "In your face speeches" hall of fame.

It needed to be said and it worked!

What a carnage weekend (not including my back) and that IS unfortunate. I some how suspect that August will be the last time any of us get to see the big track unless we are spectators....

Again, great job Stephen!

'Patience and hard work'.

That's what you'll see in the dictionary next to 'S. Deneka'.

[STeveD]

Thanks folks, but there were a lot fewer "micro problems" that I dealt with this year versus last because I knew that I could rely on the team.

If this event happens again next year, I won't hesitate to sign the club up for it again.

Andrew:

Bouncing back from a big 'moment' is
a learned skill, not a natural response.

You were pretty resiliant -> great job !

I'm looking forward to another ride.

Fantastic weekend! Thanks so much to the organizers and vollenteers who make it happen. Taking this off the schedule would not be a good thing. Mistakes happen, hopefully there will be less next year.
Stephen, Thank You for arranging my instructor, I passed my Observation on Monday. I hope to enter the sprints Aug 8.

Rob S, fantastic! Thanks

[oldguy]

I had as much fun as you did, Scott !

[AndrewR]

Rob,

I am looking forward to another ride too!!
