Whoa... sounds like it should be fun John!

I just picked up a stage 2 clutch so hopefully I can slap that in, go through the break-in procedure quick and make it out to some track days with you guys.

I'm getting my 2017 CRV ready for tonight, the RS is gone. Todd will be running the S2000 CR.

Dennis - it will be good to see you out at the Bend.

We will have the Ariel Atoms at Grand Bend Raceway this Thursday August the 10th. We will also be there on Thursday August the 24th.

I'm still deciding what I'll do with the S2000 CR. Most likely will decide by month end.

Will we see a Civic Type R this week?

Damn that was quick. I’ll try and make it out this week but I’m doubtful

Talking

We took delivery of our Spec Race Atoms (SRA) on Thursday. Thanks to the Canadian Distributor RoadSport Ariel for bringing the to Grand Bend Raceway and spending the day going over the cars and coaching. These Powered by Honda 230 HP 1350 Pound Cars are tremendous Fun. RoadSport brought their #32 SRA and Dan ran a number of 69 Second laps and them put on new tires and ran a mid 67 Second Lap on the Technical Circuit. So the car is much better than we are so it will be a great challenge to develop us as drivers, which will be fun. We Numbered the Cars with year we were born - mine is the #49 and Todd Bennett's is the #71.

There was a great turnout of cars last Thursday including Paul's S2000.

Speaking of S2000s, I have decided to sell the White S2000 Club Racer complete as we run it. I had a number of PMs asking about the car which I just replied to. I will be listing it on Monday. Hate to sell it but have too many toys.

We return to Grand Bend Raceway on Thursday Augst 24th for another Track Night

Love the matching Ariel’s. Looking forward to chasing these on the track... I have a feeling I’ll need to step up my game.

Curt - Thanks. I hope we get to see you run some laps in your new Type R as well as the CR.

I hope to get more Kilometers on the 49 Car on Thursday as the breakin continues. I also want to get more confident and comfortable by logging time behind the wheel.
