Shawn Wolk replied to Shawn Wolk's topic in Social Events and Activities (Murray Burkett)
We are up to 75 attendees. 20 more than last year. It's great to see this level of turnout. This is the only multi disciplinary event in the WSCC schedule. An opportunity to meet members that you normally don't cross paths with. So please, if your sitting on the fence. Come to the banquet. I can squeeze a few more attendees in until Wednesday Nov. 23rd. -

WSCC 2020 & 2021 AWARDS BANQUET
Shawn Wolk replied to Shawn Wolk's topic in Social Events and Activities (Murray Burkett)
In addition to the cover announcement in the thread. This is the first official social gathering of the club in over 1 1/2 years. With the absence of live club meetings. This is the first opportunity for all the active disciplines to meet under one roof. So let's try and make this event an overwhelming success. Please purchase a ticket and attend. And to ramp up the affair. Please consider contributing to the success of the silent auction by either canvassing outside or personal contribution. It's always nice for someone to leave with something. In addition, if someone has an interesting contribution for the event. Like a compiled video, announcement, or ? that would make the event more memorable. Please contact me to include it in the evenings intinerary. Looking forward to a nice evening with the club unified together. -

Machine Shop Recommendations?
Shawn Wolk replied to Speedyn's topic in Technical Motorsports Discussions
I have done a similar modification 30 years ago. If you need the OD of the bearing larger. And a bearing didn't exist. I had a sleeve machined that was pressed onto the outside of the smaller bearing. In my case it was a roller bearing. In your case it looks like a sleeve bearing. So you would also have to make matching lubrication holes in the sleeve to match the bearing. I had it done at Canada Auto. This really isn't that high tech. Drilling the matching hole on the shaft shouldn't be tough either. -
Pretty famous picture- Gimli glider and Formula Fords
Shawn Wolk replied to Greg Eastwood's topic in General Motorsports Talk
.The race schedule of the Gimli glider weekend wasn't impacted at all. Since the aircraft landed on Saturday evening. After the days race schedule was run. The club secured all the entrances to the property with volunteers. In those days there were more roads and accesses to the track than there is today. Air Canada hired security guards that arrived Sunday morning to secure the perimeter of the aircraft. We ran a regular Sunday race schedule. With the help of the additional workers blocking the additional entrances. And the Kart Racers ran there regular Sunday schedule as well. (at the North end of the main straight, where the current Drag Racing paddock is located. I was Kart racing that weekend. And at the time believe I was Club Secretary. Dave Sargent was Race Director, John Webb was President. -
Pretty famous picture- Gimli glider and Formula Fords
Shawn Wolk replied to Greg Eastwood's topic in General Motorsports Talk
The Michelin class was a special version of a Honda Civic. Under the name 'Honda Michelin class'. A very base model with a 1300cc engine. (most road models were 1500cc at the time). You bought the car through a Honda dealer. Signed papers that it was being used for racing. And there was a lot with the car that included an exhaust bypass pipe. A bolt in roll cage, and a set of 390mm in diameter alloy wheels with Michelin TRX tires. The Michelin TRX tires were available in 365mm. & 390 mm. diameters rather than the conventional 13",14",15", etc. tire and wheel dimensions. Some might say Michelin's attempt to reinvent the wheel. (that may have been funnier live). The Honda Michelin was a National series. Obviously much bigger down east in Ontario & Quebec. -

I want to confirm this earlier than years past to make sure the clubhouse Flight Centre is available. Whomever is in charge this year. Please call me, Shawn Wolk at 204-223-4805. PS: Thinking of going with Chili this year.
