It is with great sadness to announce the passing of a long time member of the WSCC, Chris Ball. Chris has been a volunteer and race team crew at GMP for approximately 30 years. He was a man of principals and would follow the club and sanctioned rules to a T. He would constantly be upholding track etiquette with drivers, even to a point where he scolded our club president at the time. Chris was instrumental in allowing me to pursue my dreams of racing a formula car and travel to Mosport with our team several times. I actually think those trips along with camping in his Westfalia at Gimli were the happiest days of his life, as he wouldn’t sit down or stop talking about racing as long as he was awake. Chris worked for me for 25 years and his attention to detail while building amusement rides was incredible to watch. They definitely don’t make them like Chris anymore.

I'm sure I wouldn't be able to get out. Unless I took out my door window.

I will keep #12. Thanks

Although I can't help you with your question, I can tell you that you brought back one of my earliest memories of being awestruck by the beauty of the cars in the dealership window, as I would be driven by with my parents as a child. There was an e type sitting in the showroom and I thought it was so alien looking compared to the drab North American cars that surrounded me. Thanks for the eminder and good luck on your search.

Thanks Mat and your team for pursuing this. The track was always one of the safest in North America, and now it is even safer. The improvements to the track surface, corner marshal stations, bathrooms, roofs and berm are a testament to the commitment our club has to our home away from home at GMP.

Congrats to the Club and organizers for pulling off this event during this pandemic. I'm sorry I couldn't participate as my schedule has been changed since this crazy s**t went down. Kudos to the group from SK who outnumbered us MB racers. Just like when Gord Leach was racing, I'm not sure racing at Gimli would be possible without you guys and gals. I had a good time breaking in my motor on Friday and hope to be at the next race.

I'm mostly available during weekday evenings these days if anyone wants to line something up.

It would be nice to know who is racing form the club. If anyone was racing on the group Xbox race yesterday, please let us know.

Sorry I didn't think it was on today. How long do you usually wait for people when server becomes live? Did anyone else end up joining today?

Sorry about the confusion. I still only have the Xbox console running. I think there was some confusion when I referred to project cars as "pc" lol.

Sunday afternoon is fine for me any time.

I'll try to get Project Cars 2 set up. I know Laguna, so that would be fun. When is your pc race?

Assetto Corsa, X-Box, Thrustmaster Ferrari 458 version. Good wheel and pedals so far. Thinking of getting F1 2016 as it was recommended by another club member.

I would be interested in joining the next race if there is one. I'll spread the word to other xbox gamers.

Nvidia GeForce gt 320. Version 342.01 I'm hoping to use a 4K monitor. Probably not gonna work right.
