Going to Shannonville tonight

I'm leaving around 3 pm today.

Should get to my parents around 7.

A quick visit, pee, coffee and I'll head over around 8:30.

I'm pretty sure the drag strip is open till 10.

$20 for all you can handle...good deal.

It was a four hour drive for me but luckily my parents live 10 min away. It was mix and match night so $25 gets you the laps or the drag. And you can switch all you want. I did the laps first but got bored. My first drag I lined up with a 5.0 stang GT. RIGHT OFF THE START there was something wrong. He had me all the way to the 1/8 mile and I finally passed him. Lots of chugging...miss fires... radio going bonkers..gauges flashing...lights dimming.... First guess wins a prize.

GTi-R, the best ugliest car I've EVER seen/driven. You can make it cool, you can make it fast but you CAN'T make it look pretty.

DING DING DING....HOT DOG we have a wiener! I'll check the ground. But I'm convinced I need to wrap my down pipe and maybe Fab a heat shield.

I hooked up the battery charger last night so i could make the 5 min drive to the garage. I started it up but there was a loud sound...Flap...clankity...chink...bang...bang. popped the hood and the belt was WAY slack. The tensioned bracket bolt had broken. Only $40. To fix.....yeah!

Were you stuck in traffic on the 401 heading East between TO and Oshawa - in the collector lanes? I was in the express lanes in my RV with the NX on behind heading to CTMP. At first I wondered if it was BenMack, but if you were going to SMP ...

Yeah..yeah.. I was going to post the same sighting. It was me. Nx with black hood pulled by a Rascal? Or Bandit or something like that. I made it from Kitchener through T.O. in an hour and half but Port Hope to Shwaa was terrible!
