David Klassen Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 What are the opportunities for in-car spectating at this event? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 Passengers (single) are allowed in IceX. As well at the end of the day on Saturday there will be a short open lapping appreciation session for volunteers. Due to covid protocols passengers will be allowed at the discretion of the driver only and they must supply their own helmet (no rentals available).

Weebly Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 19 hours ago, David Klassen said: What are the opportunities for in-car spectating at this event? @David KlassenMaybe your question was whether you can view the course while sitting in your car, similar to Winnipeg Beach or Lake Shirley? Not sure of the specifics of the course design this year and whether the spectator parking area affords a view of the track. Maybe Mike can answer that question. The weather forecast for this weekend looks great, so probably an opportunity to enjoy spectating from outside your car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 Sorry…misunderstood the question. Yeah there will a spectator area parking lot plowed between the hotel and front straight part of the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted March 2, 2022 Author Share Posted March 2, 2022 Last call for our Gimli Ice Festival dinner tickets!!! We are submitting our dinner ticket numbers to the Lakeview Hotel tomorrow - so today is the last chance to get in on this special dinner event. Bar opens at 6:30 and dinner served at 7pm. See original post for details on registering in MSR. Confirmed this morning with the Lakeview Hotel - they are following current provincial health restrictions and nothing more. This means the vaccination certificate requirement was lifted yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottMcD Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 I will see you there too. Can all our volunteers jump on this email and let us know you're coming and which days. It will help me and Dason puzzle out who goes where as this is always a bit more complex track as there's lots of ice. There's room for newcomers too! Workers meeting at 10:30 on the ice.

Mike Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 First - the dinner reservations have just closed and been submitted. We will be treating 15 fabulous volunteers to a banquet dinner on Saturday night! Second - workers meeting at 10:30 is for Saturday. On Sunday the workers meeting starts an hour earlier at 9:30am. See you all on the ice! Currently signed up in MSR for both days and on my planning records are: Jen Bell - Queen of Race Control Al Marcoux - Scrutineer / Black Flag hitman enforcer Stu Jackson - Tow Truck extraordinaire and Chief Yanker Wayne Schellekens - Timing/Scoring & Tow Truck backer upper Gloria Gordienko - Pit Registrar & Head Cat Herder Glen Gordon - Grid Marshal & Liner-upper Scott McDonald - Chief and Grand Poohbah Course Marshal Dason Wowk - Start/Finish Marshal & king flag waver Llew Taylor - Eagle eyed Corner Marshal Brian Wiebe - Eagle eyed Corner Marshal Shawn Wolk - Eagle eyed Corner Marshal If I missed anyone or they can't make, please chime in on this post as per Scott's request. The weather is going to be awesome so bring a friend if you can as we will need 3 corner and 1 start/finish marshal stations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody needs a Queen of Race Control, and WSCC has the best! I am still trying to figure out what a Grand Poobah is, though... my English to German translator seems to go into an infinite lockdown! But whatever it is, it may as well be Scott, because he has the age, knowledge and experience to be whatever he wants to be! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
