Off to the BARC event!

Well now
...I've missed a few VARAC events (Shannonville, Calabogie and Mirabel and there's also the wonderful Waterford thing) - but now I think I may be sorted enough (both mentally and financially) to get the kit together for this weekend's (Aug. 9th & 10th) BARC event at Mosport! I've secured a new "mini-sump"-kit and modified me' oil pick-up and screening devices to rectify my "ZERO" oil pressure through the corners problem - at least that's what I'm told will happen by those in the know. Whether it actually works, we'll see this weekend, eh? The car is rarin' to go (as is the "pilote"!) so we'll see if we can't shave another few seconds off our times -whot?

Now! Just as an aside - I must offer my sincere condolences and support for TEAM Viccary. Young Shane apparently exceeded the speed of his angels at Waterford and met with the wall at some point, I talked briefly with Pa Peter and he said Shane had injured his leg (fractured? sumpin') and had some bruises and sore ribs, etc. but was otherwise appearing to be O.K. The car, however, was not O.K. It had suffered extensive damage and is now in the hands of V-guru Bill Vallis and although it is to be rebuilt - it appears Team Viccary are out for the rest of the season. A sad situation all 'round, indeed. Again, my very best wishes to Pete & Shane and I hope we can get together soon!

I'll post some more pics and what-not on my next post! (probably be best after the BARC weekend, eh?!) -and HEY! what about some of you readers posting some comments, eh? The whole idea of a "blog" is to be interactive and have some feedback, eh? (where's Palermo when I need him?!)

Cheers to all!
