Yup that was me. I had a problem with the Webers that day and only managed to lay down one decent run. Hard to get a good time, running on two cylinders. I think we ran at DDT together once too.

Hey Keith... here are a couple of links to some stuff I've got on Facebook. Going to have a website up in the new year, where I hope to market some full-size prints.

I usually borrow mr niteowl's garage (Rampage from 2005-06 Grassroots Challenge) but might turn the Dak over to a local front end shop for this job. I have lowering shackles and a new rear sway for it to complete the stance. It's starting to get a bit of body rust which will have to be dealt with, I've been so impressed with the roller jobs seen lately I might tackle that this summer. Then I can put the new fender flares on, from what I've read on here... flares are teh awesome-ness

DDT... an Oshawa Club track day? OY, if I had the dak, it must've been around 2003, it's the only time that it's been to a track day. There was a smoking fast British Green Lotus a couple of years ago on the DDT, I had a dk. blue miata and he lapped me easily.

Yeah, but you're Canadian. That's just not feasible for us normal humans.

It's minus 27 here today, working on vehicles in this weather is definitely not in my repertoire. Drawing them is warmer.

I'm extremely impressed Lesley. I especially like that Gurney-Weslake Eagle you drew up, but then again I have a soft spot for 3 liter, non aero F1 cars from the '60s (aka '66-some early '68 cars if memory aided by wikipedia isn't failing me).
