  1. Had one stolen, got paid out by MPIC (with a fight), it actually drove onto my lot about a year later with nothing changed other than all my id tags cut off, cops were called, MPIC contacted by the cops & elected to do NOTHING, cops let her drive it away. Go figure! Long term storage idea, remove all the wheels and store separately.
  2. Just something to keep the whistle wet ... https://youtu.be/dgrOJ476_BM
  3. Don't think too many more laps left in these.
  4. One does wonder why Manitoba rates are so low in the first place. Perhaps it is because social distancing and other preventative measures were implemented before the virus got a strong foothold? It is easy to have this narrow frame of mind when you are in your 20s or 30s but there are family members of most of the competitors that are not in that age group or have some kind of immune system deficiencies. The death rate for Canada from the flu is somewhere between 500 and 1500 for an average reporting year. Canada has 4400 + deaths for the first 5 months of this outbreak. I'm guessing people here are orphans with no immune deficiencies or relatives 40 +? Don't get me wrong, this is putting a damper on all our social activities not to mention our financial positions. But just think if we maintained this kind of an attitude from the start, would we be like QC or Ontario? Currently we are not .. at the moment. I am pretty sure we all would like to keep it that way. Also would you like to be the one that is financially responsible for any health issues or fatalities caused by gathering too soon just for a past time activity?
  5. First off, you can't use the terms "disco" and "men were men" in the same sentence .... I do like this vid tho. Lookit all them spectators!
  6. If you are a re-tired programmer that is well versed in COBOL, then you may want to look on some of the head hunter job sites. You could make a few bucks on systems in the USA (probably lots in Canada too like ATM card swipe routines) still running main frames under COBOL. A lot of their computer systems that have to do with employment insurance and government assistance packages are severely overloaded. Might be some opportunity to top up that retirement fund that has taken such a hit in the markets lately.
  7. Always nice for the "peek behind the door" in the past. Great to read well written posts. Thank you for your insights and stories. Be safe, be healthy and may this venture be interesting, informative and prosperous for you.

  9. PM sent. LOL, a little house cleaning was required. This is what happens when you don't clean out you inbox for awhile.
  10. Anyone else using Bluehost as a hosting site?
  11. Hmmm, according to the 2020 supp regs "Points Individual points for each daily race will be based on a descending order from the first place of 9,7,5,3,2,1, Classes with less than a full 6-car grid will receive a reduced point plan: ie. 5-car grid would be pointed 7,5,3,2,1…a 3-car grid would be pointed 3,2,1. One point shall be awarded to competitors for completing 50% or more of the race."
  12. The points still need to be corrected. In race 3 you and Lee stuffed it so you guys were both a lap down from the rest of the field. That would up Tim's points and reduce yours to bring you guys even closer. You would drop 4 points and Tim would gain 2 points. that should put you guys at 86 - 84 points. (assuming Tim was ahead of Manuel as I am not sure what the order was between them).
  13. I had made a joke at your expense and I do apologize. Such comments will not occur in the future.
  14. Looking for input from volunteers on a proposed Marshaling Stand concept. The base is 8' x 8' with a 6 degree slope to the roof. (The markers in the middle shows a height of 6') A detailed dimensional drawing is available. WSCC Marshall Station Elevation 5.bmp
