WST,
I'll be getting to Mosport late Thurs. nite with the Lotus. Hope they have
lots of paddock space cause the new QE III with trailer is LONG. About 65'.
Anybody know if the new highway 407 is completed past Markham? I need to
stay on expressway as much as possible with this train.
What do we need for the party?
Rick

To all,
Thickos will again invade our neighbors to the north for the VARAC Vintage
Classic 2000, June 30, July 1 & 2. Despite the long pull from the Cheddar
Curtain,/Land of Lincoln border... it's a "must" event. Enough track time to
send you off looking for more race gas, and a fast, fast track that will
send you searching for courage, horsepower... or both.
Rick Gurolnick (AKA Dr. Dreadful) and his ultra quick 356 will be there,
Roger (Wayward) Garnett, Danny (the Jeweler), Paul (Otis) Fitzsimmons, and
myself, (Flounder) will once again brave Canadian customs. Haven't heard
whether Rick (Bigfoot) Cook will attend in his new Land Barge. Thickos North
have pledged their usual warm welcome.
There's apparently a trackside meal provided by the club for Saturday... so
we are planning a scaled down version of "Club Thicko" for Friday. Club
Thicko is an evolution of our animal sacrifice pit parties that have
continued to grow to unbelievable numbers. At the recent Blackhawk Classic,
we fed over 75 Friday... with just an impromptu deal... and Saturday, the
numbers swelled to over 200. I kid you not. We set up a PA system and play
music most of the day, play a little live music in the evening, and cook
massive amounts of burnt cow and other offerings. Here's how it works. We
attempt to coordinate what to bring, we fire up the grilles, and get to it.
Our Minister of Food and Beverage , Jim (Elmo Mancini... the Meatball
Magnate from Logantucky) Donato is not attending... so please, if you like
to join us, just let me know what you're able to bring. Everyone is
welcome... this is an "inclusive", rather than "exclusive" deal, OK?
So, we're looking forward to racing with our talented comrades to the north,
and hope to see you in Thicko Village on Friday night.
WST
Flounder
