Corey,

I hope you were practising pylon cuts.   ;D
Competitors' cuts were my biggest friend last race.

The weather forecast is not promising... Here's hoping it changes in the next 24 hours. I need to redeem myself and beat Frank!

      "I bet Frank is and still smiling".


Do you guys know how tough it is to mentally prepare for a big race with a huge bullseye on your back  ;D
I'll fix that problem the next race.  I am a basement dweller by nature. :D

Ken,

Thanks for the info and making the tough decision.
All of us at TEMAC who have ventured down the road to Orangeville want to thank you for organizing these races.  A lot of work goes into them and we appreciate it.
The smile will last more than a few months.  We have a blast at them.  As you can tell we always find a way to have fun.... even if we finish in last place. :D

See you at the swap meets.

Frank
