    Editorial Exhaust

    Had a blast at the Lanark HighlandWinter Rally a couple of weeks agothanks to the absence of Jodie Shay'regular navigator. I was invited to sit inthe "oh sh!%" seat.

    Now, I've driven a couple of TSD ralliebefore, such as the Lanark Highlands rally

    and Golden Pine rally last year, and thought that was the shizzle...

    Imagine, if you will, re-taking your Grad11 mathematics exam, but this time, thdesk is your lap, and the chair you'resitting in happens to be careening abouthe back roads of Lanark County (thmuddy, icy, snowy, bumpy, gravel backrouads of Lanark County) at speeds thamight be sane during the day, in thesummer...

    After four and a half hours of mathbumps, and a couple of white knuckle

    moments (that Jodie drove through like hwas commuting to work) I've got anewfound respect for the Nicky Grist's, theRobert Reid's, and the Sonya Howard's othe world.

    Not to say I wouldn't do it again. I wannsee if I can accumulate less than 3 pointon the next rally. If only I could convincthe girlfriend to drive HER car...

    See you next month.

    REMEMBERING TONYby Jim Morrow

    Lai, Tony Man WaiPeacefully at home on Monday,March 10, 2003, age 33 years. Be-loved husband of Jane Lennox. Dearson of Mr. and Mrs. K.Y. Lai. Cher-ished brother of Louisa, Roland and

    Liza. Brother-in-law of Margaret andloving uncle to Andrew and Beatrice.The Ottawa CitizenMarch 13, 2003

    We know someone so well as a clubmember that we sometimes forget allof the other, more important relation-ships that define their lives.

    I first met this man, who was youngenough to be my son, in 2001 at theschool that we ran for the Totally SillyDrive rally. He showed up with Jane

    (I rarely saw him without her) and ab-sorbed the course material with enthu-siasm. They went on to do respectablywell in their first rally in that gorgeousAudi TT. Great, I thought, another ral-ly recruit . . . and he was . . . I saw theTT in several of the Yokohama Win-ter series events.

    Well, time passed and I was instruct-ing at a summer performance drivingschool at the old Lynx stadium. Thisold Supra pulls in and Tony gets out.

    It turns out that hewanted to race and in typical Tonyfashion was doing a thorough job of it.He had purchased an old caged Suprathat he was going to learn to drive andeventually take racing. Jane, ofcourse, was there. So now I had to getused to the pair of them at Solo II's aswell as rallies.

    More time passed and I was workingat the 2002 Race school at Shannon-ville. You guessed it . . . Tony showedup to complete the next step in hisplan to get racing. I hadn't seen him orJane for a while and was a little takenaback by the fact that he looked sopale and in pain. It's the flu, I thought.I couldn't do this with the flu . . . hemust really want it.

    Late Saturday afternoon, Tony cameover to chat as I was scurrying off to

    Belleville. We both lamented the factthat our wives weren't there and Tonysaid wistfully that maybe, if we werelucky, they would come up on Sun-day. I told Tony that I was meetingsomeone for supper and that he shouldjoin us. He said that he would try. Henever showed up and we didn't get achance to talk again until the end ofthe school before the results were up. Isaw him, in the hall slumped againstthe wall. He told me that his back hadbeen bothering him for some time andhe was wearing a brace. Ah, that ex-

    plains it, I thought . . . it's the bacpain.I went on my merry way back to Almonte.

    I heard later that Tony didn't make thcut for the school, although his instructor tells me he wanted to get Tony out to try his shifter cart! I als

    heard from Jane, at about the samtime, that Tony had been diagnosewith cancer and had just started chemotherapy . . . just a day or two beforthe Race school. He loved motorsportso much that nothing was going tstop him! Unfortunately, something fnally came along that he couldn't beat

    He touched many of us with his lovfor Jane, his dedication to masterinanything with wheels, and his cheerfuand thoughtful manner. Tony will bvery much missed, but we can a

    learn from how, even in the latestages of his illness, he refused to givup on living . . . he did what he coulto be part of things. At our LanarHighlands Rally this October, Janand Tony showed up and she helped visibly weak and suffering Tony to chair at the registration desk. The twof them proceeded to help out witregistration and then Jane took Tonhome.

    It was a privilege knowing you, Tony

    Oooeeee baby, finally, signs ofspring abound, and with it the startof the Racing Season! I won'tcomplain, however, as we had asuperb season at Ottodrome Inter-national Speedway with the finest

    facility ever. But, on to the sum-mer season, as The MotorsportClub of Ottawa's Solo season kicksoff this month (see schedule), andof course, we are organizing oursecond annual CASC-OR racingschool.

    Alas, as of this writing, entrieshave been disappointing! As manyof you are acutely aware, the Exec-utive decided to stage a school fortwo reasons: one, to offset poten-tial losses for The Ted Powell Me-morial Summer Trophy Races, andto meet the needs of the ' want-to-go' racing fraternity. At this junc-ture, we may be doing well just tobreak even!! We have partneredwith our friends and colleagues atVARAC, catering to their member-ship who want to obtain their 'old'geezers racing license. This part-nership can possibly offset poten-tial loss.

    I remember all too vividly the gangof racers (many of whom I had notseen in years) who cornered the ex-ecutive at the January meeting,clamoring for the re-instatement ofthe MCO Ted Powell Race Week-end. Your executive dutifully re-viewed its earlier decision; assidu-ously repeated its 'due-diligence',and ultimately agreed to go for-ward with the race weekend; albeitwith a budget so parsimonious,

    even Eberneezor Scrooge would beproud. The racing school was de-signed to provide a financial bufferfor the weekend.

    Now recognizing the lateness ofthe race school weekend, and itsEaster Weekend conflict, weshould be able to do better. Comeon everyone, lets pull together!While on the subject of finances,the draft audit has been reviewed

    by your executive. The auditor hasmade some recommendations, andhe has pointed to minor areas of fi-nancial 'sloppiness' that can beeasily approved upon, but overall aquite satisfactory review of MCO's

    financial record keeping. I amvery personally pleased - as is allthe executive, and a special pat onthe shoulder to our Treasurer, BobBenson. The membership shouldalso be well pleased. A copy of theaudit will be in the LINK. Thiscompletes the commitment this ex-ecutive made at our last AnnualGeneral Meeting. Well done.

    Had a chance to visit the NationalCorvette Museum in BowlingGreen, Kentucky while on my wayto Florida. While not everyone is aCorvette enthusiast, the visit isworthwhile, as the curators havedone quite an excellent job ofchronicling the storied, and some-times difficult history of GM'ssports car. The exhibition is veryinter-active, featuring sound, mov-ing pictures, lighting (though plen-ty of room for improvement in thatarea), along with a worthwhile col-

    lection of racing 'Vettes'. Did not,unfortunately have time to visit themanufacturing facility which is ad-jacent to the Museum.

    I mention the above first because itwas fun, but also to remind eachmember your Editor WELCOMESall contributions. I am certaineach of you has done something in-teresting that your fellow memberswould appreciate hearing aboutthis past month? Careful, this is a

    family publication.

    In closing, Mike Lowe and I havecommitted to having MCO's 50thAnniversary book published forthis year's Annual Banquet thisNovember. If you have not alreadydone so, sign up for a sponsor pageand order your copy.

    See you at the School, April 19 &20.

    OH MY GOD! That was by farthe most intense experience I haveEVER had in a car -- in the frontseat anyway, and this experience

    lasted ALL night long!!! In princi-ple, the format is equivalent to theMCO rallies we do here in Ottawa.

    It's a straightforward DrivexTime/Speed/Distance event, (it'sNOT a race). Instructions are clearand simple. Nobody gets lost. Theonly trick is in maintaining the cor-rect average speeds, as specified inthe instructions, to have us arrivingat each checkpoint exactly on time.The average speeds are never high-

    er than the posted speed limits, so(IN THEORY!) it's all perfectly le-gal. The rally is run on publicroads (not closed), no helmets, noracing.

    Usually this type of rally is more ofa challenge for the navigator thanthe driver, as the speeds are rela-tively sedate. Except, this particu-lar rally is part of the Ontario RoadRally series. The competition isvery tough and experienced. At-

    tendance is huge (65entries).

    This year the rally was run overmany of the famous sections ofroad used for the Tall Pines Na-tional Rally, overnight, in -28 de-gree weather in the dead of winter,on roads of pure ice!

    During the driver's meeting theywarned us to expect 'brisk' speedsin the first leg of the rally. In thesecond and third legs, 'some of youwill have difficulty attaining the re-quired speeds. Please drive withinyour abilities at all times'.

    The roads weren't all that bad tostart with. There were a few frostheaves to watch out for, but thereweren't any car breakers. Mostlysmooth, snow-packed roads, re-cently sanded. Except they wereall really, REALLY, tight, twisty,

    and plunging up and down!

    Because of my ice-racing experi-ence I really don't at all mind driv-ing on slippery surfaces. In fact, Ilove it! But rallying on these typesof roads literally introduces awhole new dimension to the fun.Ice-racing tracks have left turns

    and right turns of varying tightnessbut, since lakes normally tend tofreeze flat, there are no elevation-changes to contend with. Speakingfrom my new-found rallying expe-rience, I can testify with completeconviction that the addition ofsteep peaks and valleys in the ver-tical dimension SIGNIFICANTLYcomplicates the process of sliding acar through corners!

    The first car away started the rally

    at 10:31pm. In my '86 BMW 325,we were car #52 in the lineup. Sowe didn't get to start until11:22pm, by which time all thetight corners, and scary downhillbraking areas, had already beenswept clear of any sand, and thesnowpack was now polished intoglare ice!

    "Brisk"?! Sheeesh. We were legit-imately late at a few checkpoints

    because there was NO way wecould maintain the 'brisk' averagespeeds required. And we pickedup a couple of unnecessary penal-ties at the first andthird checkpoint,arriving 8 seconds and 2 secondstoo EARLY(!). Some checkpointswere scored to the nearest tenth ofa minute. But these two check-points were scored to the minute,meaning we could arrive at the-checkpoints anywhere up to 59seconds following the perfect time-

    in without getting a penalty. But 2seconds early and 8 seconds earlyearned us a full minute Early pen-alty each time. Ouch. We finishedthefirst leg of the rally with a totalpenalty of 3.2 minutes. That couldhave, should have, been only 1.2,which would have had us in the topten overall at the end of the firstleg. Oh well. We were still doingmuch better than we had first ex-

    pected.

    I felt the first leg of the rally wasconsiderably faster than merely'brisk'. The second leg howevewas completely insane.

    There were sections of road wheremy excellent navigator, Ryan Hub

    er, told me we needed to maintainan average speed of something like67.3km/h. I said, "you're kiddingme, right?" We'd be lucky to reachan average of 55. There was onlythe occasional little short straightaway where we could momentarilypush the speed up. But most of thetime it was all 30km/h hairpinsblind crests, second to third geastuff, balls to the wall, completelysideways, trying to keep the car between the snowbanks. What a

    RUSH!!! I've never done anythingthis extreme before.

    I really enjoyed those fast sectionsbecause there I could concentratefully on driving as fast as I daredOn the sections where we actuallywere able to attain the requiredaverage speeds, I'd always have tobe watching the speedometer withone eye so as not to go any fasterthan that. Having to keep glancing

    down at the speedo is very distracting.

    At first it was all pretty much terrifying. But after a while we got into a rhythm that didn't feel too insane. I will admit though, nothingbeats the satisfaction of catching(and passing!) several differenSubaru 4WD cars during the nightknowing each time that they'dstarted the stage with a full minutehead start on us! BMW rules the

    roads!

    Technically we were always welwithin the speed limits (um, mosof the time). But what we were doing would certainly have been wayWay, WAY, over the line o'reckless driving' if we'd ever hadthe misfortune of encountering apoliceman coming the other wayWe eventually settled into a com

    fortable (so I thought) compromisebetween merely 'brisk' driving andall-out racing. And then we cameover a blind crest into a downhillleft turn to discover that there was-suddenly ZERO traction all theway down the hill. I had let the carget just a bit too far sideways,steering wheel right over to full

    lock, still the tail came around onme, before I bailed out and lockedup thebrakes. Oh oh. We slidbroadside all the way down thehill, coming to rest at the bottom,still on the road, squarely betweenthe snowbanks, without havingtouched anything.

    Ryan said something like, "Nicecatch!"

    For Ryan's sake, I thought it bestnot to mention that I'd had my eyesclosed the whole time...

    We only had one other 'moment' allnight when I left my braking atouch too late for a sharpish down-hill corner. Right where I figuredHERE would be a good spot tostart braking, fifty cars ahead of ushad already used the same spot,locked up their wheels, and buffedthe road surface down to ice assmooth as glass. You could see theline of slick ice leading all the waystraight into a big hole in the snow-bank where numerous cars beforeus had obviously already stuffed it.We were toast and we knew it. Noway was the car going to stop orturn in time. There was plenty oftime to see it coming. Enoughtime to extinguish all cigarettes,make sure seat belts are securelyfastened, raise your seatbacks andtrays to an upright position, assume

    crash positions, and kiss your buttgoodbye.

    Then, miraculously, we caught asmall strip of traction just at theedge of the road, the car turned andwe narrowly missed hitting the-snowbank. This time not evenRyan believed that had been any-thing morethan dumb luck.

    Nearing the end of the rally (it fin

    ished at 8am Sunday morning) wewere well clear of the second placeNovice car when we got royallyscrewed by a nasty trick. On Aver-age Speed sections you never knowwhere a checkpoint might beplaced. You always need to beright on time, all the time, neverknowing if the next checkpoint

    isn't just around the corner or justover the next hill. But ElapsedTime sections work differently inthat you are given a set amount oftime allowance to reach a certainmileage. Elapsed Time sectionsare used whenever the rally routecrosses a busy highway, railwaytracks, or traffic signals, overwhich the rallymaster has no con-trol for how long we might be de-layed. So the rally organizers al-low a generous amount of time inwhich to cross the highway, rail-way, or traffic signals beforereaching the next instruction point.There you have to wait out the re-mainder of the time allowance, andcontinue only after your timecomes up.

    Because Ryan was dying to take aleak, we rushed through oneElapsed Time section so we couldstop at the end and take a break.

    Other teams were doing this too.We regularly caught up to one ofthe Subaru teams to find the driverout of the car having a smokebreak while waiting for his time tocome up.

    I've always understood the rules tosay that there will NEVER be acheckpoint within an Elapsed Timesection. I've also been told that itis strictly forbidden to come to ahalt, or be seen as balking, within

    sight of any checkpoint. So, whenwe reached the end of the ElapsedTime section and saw a line of carspulled over at the side of the road,we assumed this was where every-one else was queuing up to waitout their times. That's when wenoticed the last car in line was aCHECKPOINT! NUTS!!!

    We KNEW we were 5 minutes ear-ly. We had done that deliberately

    thinking we'd then have time for break. Instead we got nailed with MASSIVE 5 minute early penaltyHalf the cars in the rally fell intthe same trap including the twother MCO teams of Steve Greiner/Nick Berry and Jaak Laan/JimMorrow. Apparently it IS legal tstop within sight of a checkpoin

    as long as you are still WITHIN aET section. This particular checkpoint was situated inches beyonthe end of the Elapsed Time section. Most of the Expert clasteams, familiar with the fine prinof the rules, stopped before thcheckpoint, casually walked up anasked for their proper time inTeams who, like us, weren't familiar with this exception to the nostopping rule, all got nicked witearly penalties. But very fewteams got screwed as badly as wdid because we were deliberatelyhurrying so Ryan would havenough time to take a leak. Thironic part was, after stopping tget our time sticker from thcheckpoint crew, we only hatwenty seconds left to get back ithe car and start the next sectionRyan was forced to keep his legcrossed for the remainder ofthe rally.

    After that huge penalty, we endeup TIED for the win in the NoviceClass. Fortunately, the tie-breakewas decided in our favour becauswe had zeroed 9 of the 26 check

    points, whereas the other guys zeroed 8 checkpoints. So we won thNovice class, finishing 18th overall.

    Most encouraging though was threalization that, if not for our two

    minute early penalties at the beginning of the rally, and the huge minute early penalty at the end, wpotentially could have finishemuch higher! Then again, it's alsentirely possible that we coulhave finished the rally wrappearound a tree somewhere...

    MISCELLANEOUSRUMBLINGS II

    John Powell

    1. High Tech?This started out as a one paragraphParting Shot rant, but the more Igot into it, well, the more I got intoit. In fact, so much so, that it's tak-ing up most of this month's col-umn.

    There's much ado these days insome circles about "High Tech",especially in our self-proclaimed"Silicon Valley North", but whatthey really mean by this term ismodern advanced electronic media."High Tech" has been with us eversince the first hominid picked up apiece of flint, and saw in it a tool.

    It's really a relative term, isn't it?What was "high tech" to stone-ageman became "old tech" with the ar-rival of the Bronze Age. The samething happened when a bronzesword was first shattered by aniron one, and has been happeningever since.

    To me, "High Tech" means a mile-stone change in the tools, imple-ments, appliances, apparatus andprocesses, whether physical or

    chemical, which we use to accom-plish tasks, and which initiatedbased on no significant prior bodyof knowledge. In other words,they are a basis for a revolutionarychange in a society's way of think-ing about and doing things, with allthe resultant impacts on it's mem-bers. By this definition, the firstwheel was "High Tech" for it's era,as was the domestication and selec-tive breeding of plants and ani-mals, the smelting of iron and otherminerals, the magnifying glass,gunpowder, Newcomen's steam en-gine, Faraday's 'dynamo', the Cu-rie's and radium, and well afterthem, I really don't see much.

    "Whoa!", you say, "What about thecar, airplane, rockets, splitting theatom, computers, electronics, espe-cially the silicon chip, etc.". Wellyes, they were important, and did

    produce vast changes, but werethey really milestones? Considerthis:

    - With the first stone tool, mankindfinally freed himself from thephysical limits of his body. Hecould use tools to do what hisbody couldn't; cut down trees for

    housing and other uses; huntlarge game as would a lion orwolf, resulting in better sourcesof nutrients and energy, such aslong-chain proteins and readilysoluble minerals; cut and trimstone for buildings, etc.; andmany other uses, not the least ofwhich was to make even moreadvanced tools.

    - With the wheel he could at lasttransport large loads beyond thatof his un-aided strength, and lat-

    er mill grain, transfer forcethrough pulleys and gears, har-ness water power, and spinthread more efficiently.

    - The domestication and selectivebreeding of plants and animalsgave, weather permitting, a sig-nificantly more copious and pre-dictable food supply, resulting ina more settled existence, a sur-plus to exchange for goods pro-duced by others, which in turnresulted in the development ofspecialized trades, the develop-ment of trading tokens (money),and thus "civilization", and allthat it entails.

    - The smelting of metals led tobronze, iron, and then steel toolsand implements, which weremore varied in design, vastly su-perior in use, and more durable.It made possible, in part, the In-dustrial Revolution, and moderncomplex alloys.

    - From a glass bead (probably)which distorted light waves camethe magnifying glass and thenspectacles, improving reading vi-sion, distance vision from thetelescope, and micro vision fromthe microscope, resulting in avast improvement in knowledge.

    - Gunpowder produced not onlyweapons and entertainment (fire-works), but also much more easi-ly constructed canals and tunnels

    in rocky terrain, with a great ex-pansion in inland navigation androad transportation, and it even-tually led to modern rocketry.

    - The printing press finally madeavailable the mass production ofbooks and pamphlets, which en-couraged increased literacy, ledto mass print media (newspa-

    pers), and produced another giantleap forward in the amassing ofknowledge.

    - Newcomen's external combustion(steam) engine gave us our firstsource of non-animal and naturalpower, producing more workingpower than animals, and freeingus from the constraints of geo-graphical location and the vaga-ries of weather. This, togetherwith iron and steel, produced theIndustrial Age, which in truth

    really isn't "Post" yet. It alsowasn't long before someonemounted a boiler and steam en-gine on a vehicle for more effi-cient and effective motive powerand this led to the idea of movingcombustion from outside the cyl-inder to inside, resulting in gasand diesel engines, and the motorvehicle. At about the same timethe idea of passing the expandingwater vapour through a type offan was born, which resulted inParson's steam turbine, and thatled to the development of the gasturbine, commonly, but not al-ways correctly, called the "jet"engine.

    - The work of the Curie's with radi-um not only gave us radiology(X-Rays), but also furthered theknowledge of energy radiatingfrom decay of the atom, andopened up our minds to obtain-ing vast amounts of energy from

    splitting (rapid decay) of theatom. The vast amounts of heatgenerated were another source offiring boilers for producingsteam to power turbines in suchthings as electric generating sta-tions and large vessels. "Atomicpowered" generating stations andships really aren't that - they'resteam powered and atomic firedinstead of with wood, coal, oilor gas.

    In all of these and similar mile-stones there was a process of In-vestigation, Innovation and Con-solidation. Investigation posed thequestion and developed a ground-work of knowledge, and Innova-tion answered the question by pro-duced the milestone inventionthrough either inspiration or exper-

    imentation, or both. These twoprocesses could range over eons,centuries, years, or even less, butthe milestone was that a totallynew "High" technology was intro-duced which resulted in revolution-ary changes in human society.These changes came during a proc-ess of Consolidation, and were notalways immediate, but they werealmost always inevitable.

    During Consolidation, the new

    technology was developed and be-came more reliable, through im-proved methods of production itbecame cheaper and more readilyavailable, and through use, new ap-plications were tried and secondaryinventions were made. Some ofthese were of great impact andmoved the technology in novel di-rections or produced new methodsof achieving the same purpose.Their impacts could even surpassthat of the original invention, butwithout it, it is unlikely that theywould ever have seen the light ofday - they were not "milestones".Which brings us to the examplethat was omitted from the listabove, Mr. Faraday's "dynamo".

    The modern era, that is post WorldWar II, has had many names; the"Atomic" age, the "Electronic" age,the "Space" age, the "Post-industri-al" age, and the "Information" age,

    to name a few. By the way, everyage has been an "Information" age,as all human advances since wefirst came down from the treeshave required "information". Butwhatever you want to call it, andI'll give you my preferred name lat-er, it is frequently asserted thatmodern "High" technology isbased on the transistor and the silicon chip. Not so; these are secon-dary or even tertiary inventions.

    The concept of the transistor wasbased on semi-conducting vacuumtubes, and these and similar devi-ces would have been useless, ifthey had been thought of at all,without a consistent and economi-cal supply of the force which theystore, conduct or control. Thisforce is, of course, electricity. It

    was known to exist in nature, asstatic energy and lightning, but wasalmost impossible to effectivelycapture and control. Then MichaelFaraday's "dynamo" showed howelectricity could be practically andreliably generated and controlledby mankind. Therefore, the mod-ern age, which started with his in-vention of the dynamo, or electricgenerator, in 1831, is most appro-priately called the "Electric Age".If you doubt me, just think of all

    the subsequent inventions whichproduced modern civilization, andwould have been impossible with-out electricity. For example, notonly the computer, which I'm usingto prepare this text, but the abun-dant artificial light which enablesme to make sense of my almost il-legibly scribbled notes.

    There is an epilogue to this tale.As a society, we are now approach-ing the level of technological arro-gance of the late Victorian and Ed-wardian eras, and history teachesus the potential folly of this ap-proach. They were mesmerized bythe momentous technical advancesof the time, such as the telegraph,electric light and telephone, andthought that they were"unsinkable". An apt reference, asthe Titanic disaster was a direct re-sult of this technological arro-gance, as was the carnage of World

    War I. In this instance, the devel-opment of killing technology faroutstripped the development ofnew tactics to counter it, and ad-vances in industrialization andtransportation allowed for the de-livery of an unprecedented numberof victims to these killing ma-chines. The result was that a warstupidly begun was also stupidlyfought by both sides, and millionsof men died or were forever disa-

    bled, both mentally and physicallyTechnology is an essential toofor human advancement, bulet's not worship it - it's not God!

    2. Tips and TailsThe term above is farmers' jargonand dates from the time when haywas cut into swaths by sickle-ba

    side-mowers, and raked into windrows by horizontal rotary rakes. Inorder to deliver hay from the swathinto the windrow, the rotating barrel of the rake was set at an angleto the direction of travel. As thebarrel did not contact the full swathat the beginning and end of therow, it started and finished thewindrow with increasing then decreasing amounts of hay, resembling conical tips and tails.

    This rant has nothing to do with thabove, except it's about "tails" those left by snowmobile traigroomers when they cross a publicroad. I don't know if you've encountered any of these suckers, buthey consist of hard packed snowand ice, and can be as much aeight inches or more in height athe outer edge of the shoulder. Ona gravel road, it's hard to avoid parof them when you encounter approaching traffic, and the jolt canalmost send a vehicle airborne. Onpaved roads, they usually just occupy the shoulder, but can leave awet or icy patch on the road fromsnow and ice tracked across thepavement by snowmobiles. And iyou have to take to the shoulder inan emergency and hit one, the result would be the same as abovefor gravel roads, although potentially more disastrous, as youspeed would probably be higher.

    Now, in most municipalities it is illegal for you or me to push or otherwise deposit snow out onto theroad allowance. Even if it's thepile blocking your laneway thawas put there by the township plowin the first place! I was even toldonce that I have to run my blowealong the edge of the shoulder tomake sure no tails of snow fromclearing the laneway were left on

    the road surface. And yet the peo-ple who run these snowmobiletrails are allowed, with seemingimpunity, to run great effingeight foot wide solid effing tailsof effing packed snow and ice outinto the roads creating a poten-tial hazard to motorists! Thereain't no justice for the commonman!

    3. Parting ShotWell, "they" haven't been too co-operative this month. "They" ha-ven't given me much ammunition,at least not in the automotive ortechnical fields. However, thereare those Mazda ads. Now "Zoom-zoom" may have been kinda' cutethe first half-dozen or so times, andI know I own a Mazda, but now

    they're driving me crazy!!!!!! Ev-ery time I hear one these days, Igrowl at my TV "Zoom-zoom yerarse!" Of course, there's also thoseridiculously annoying "Rrrroll upthe rrim to win" commercials, butthe only connection they have withcars is the drive-through window.When are these ad men going to re-alise that "cute", when it is over-worn, very quickly turns onto"crap"!

    RALLY DIRECTOR'SREPORT

    by Craig Hamm

    On March 9 we were treated to On-tario's first winter RallyCross (Ral-lyX), an MCO event no less! Thiswas held at the Ottodrome, on an

    absolutely amazing track, that re-ceived 6 inches of fresh powder theprevious night! The format fol-lowed CARS National rallyX regu-lations, and only 18 teams werepermitted. If an article doesn't ap-pear in this issue about the fantas-tic event format, and that it trans-lated into 15 runs pour moi (a sea-son of SnS in one day!), on 3 tracklayouts, I'll be beating the very ca-pable organizers Warren Hayoodand Craig Seko with big sticks!

    We drew several top drivers in theprovince, and competition wasvery tight. We even ran in the darkwith big rally lights!

    Again, the community of Almonteserved as the starting location forthe 2nd annual Lanark HighlandsWinter Rally, held Saturday March15. Jim Morrow and Robert Roal-di had set up a wonderful route, tobe run Feb 22, as a night winterdrivex. To make a long story

    short, I ended up becoming the or-ganizer, with some considerable ef-fort, and thankfully mother naturepostponed it, giving me a grace pe-riod to make sure all was well. Itturned out that the next day (yes-terday in fact) the spring thaw be-gan in earnest, making our rally thelast winter rally of the season inOntario/Quebec. We already lost alot of snow, but the snow bankswere still plenty big.

    LHWR consisted of 14 open con-trols, and covered 238 km, with anoverall average speed of 64 kph,brisk. We had full route radio cov-erage, mainly provided by the Al-monte Amateur Radio League. Wedrew 18 teams this year with 3 ofthem being top provincial contend-ers from Peterborough and Toron-to, and several other teams from'down there' as well. One team

    came from Montreal. By all re-ports the chosen roads were simplyspectacular. Of particular note,Herb Henning donated his $40earned for extracting cars fromsnowmobile trails (hey guys, I nev-er asked to go down those!) to theLanark County Therapeutic RidingProgram! Many thanks to Herb

    and indeed all the workers thanturn driving around in the dark intoa real motorsport!

    Can you believe it that RobinsonKelly and Louis Carbardos(MLRC/PMSC) drove 238 km onbackroads, and accumulated a mere12 seconds in penalties? Our veryown Martin Walter and Ken Legar-ec, out for their second event thisyear crushed the competition inNovice with a gap of nearly 6 mi-nutes to the 2nd place finishers;and last month's column roundy-round man Dave Watchorn cameout, too! These guys just can't getenough of cars! We welcome themand all other racers to see what youcan do on a 'real road course'! Thehardcore rally folks better sharpentheir pencils (2B recommended) ifthe racers start coming out like thismore often. Summary results areposted in this issue.

    Our next event is the MangyMoose. See the ad in this issue fordetails. Robert Roaldi, navigation-al guru, is the organizer for the BE-GINNER FRIENDLY event. Thiswill be a typical daytime rally suit-able for all levels, and of about 3hours duration. If one year is goodenough for tradition, it traditionallyruns East of Ottawa, last year outof Navan in "Laan Country."

    By the time you read this, I willhave attended the RallySport On-tario AGM in Peterborough on be-half of all MCO members. I'll re-port on that next month.

    Our club suffered a tragic loss withthe death of Tony Lai, of 33 years,on March 10 when he succumbedto a year long battle with aggres-sive cancer. Tony was a valued

    and very active MCO member inall disciplines of motorsport. Thosewho knew Tony have very fondmemories of him and his positivespirit. The greater Ontario rallyfamily will particularly miss Tonyand Jane going sideways in theirblue TT , Tony's keen smile, andfriendly competitive nature. A pri-

    vate family service was held inToronto and reception in Tony'smemory was held on SaturdayMarch 22, in the Glebe. Tony,thanks for the memories, you aremissed.

    Don't forget our monthly RallyGroup meetings are on the lastTHURSDAY of the month, at theEmerald Plaza library, at 6:30 pm.We talk rally shop and watch coolvideos!

    FINAL WRAP UP2003 SLUSH ANDSLIDE SEASONby Warren Haywood

    The 2003 Slush and Slide season isofficially over.

    This was my first forray into theorganizing ring for MCO, and Imust say the support of this organi-zation for people who wish to putthe time into volunteering their ef-forts is truly commendable. Theplan was for me to assume the ser-ies organization for the 2004 sea-son and Jeff would help methrough this season to prepare mebetter for the following year. It allworked out pretty well and I thinkI've got it nailed for 04 so thanks a

    bunch Jeff!

    This year the plan was to run fourevents and hope that the serieswould be well attended enough tobreak even. I was blown away withthe amount of support we had fromour motorsport community. FromOttawa to Montreal we had com-petitors return event after event toparticipate and challenge their col-leagues for the overall title. Thelowest number of competitors wehad this year was 33 and the mostwas 40, someone sitting on thesidelines of this activity might sayWHAT THE H$#&! are your peo-ple thinking it's 40 freak'n below.

    Each event had a different trackconfiguration to spice up competi-tion. The runs as you can see fromthe results were between 1.5 mi-nutes to just over two minutes inlength some a little longer than

    others depending on which snow-bank you decided to beat on. I haveto say that this year the track con-ditions were truly AMAZING, theoverall design was superb, and for-tunately for us Ma-nature decidedto co-operate with some serioussnow and COOOOLD temps.

    My grand plan this year was tobeat the pants off Jean Major but itwasn't going to happen. With a

    new short ratio gear box and a mar-ginally heavier car with substan-tially more HP than last year Iwasn't able to mount a worthychallenge. Of course I know thatthe HP doesn't count for much inthe winter especially in a FWD car,but let's face it I'm a man andmore, bigger, badder is my credo.

    Even though I didn't show up thisyear others did. Of Note GregKierstead our solo II directorworked every winter drivingschool this year and fine tuned hiswinter surface driving and it reallyshowed. Also of note in the SFclass was the dark horse fromMontreal driving Vince's 323"beater" (as he kindly refers to itas) was Carl Wener. My goal fornext year remains the same it justlooks a little more daunting. I'll be

    switching gear boxes or I may justtry to convince Mike Cauchy tohave a fourth driver in the ToyotaGTS.

    It's amazing that after 4 events, 17runs, varrying conditions, we couldhave had a three way tie at the endof it all but Mark Atos let me ridealong with him and he found asnowbank and DNF'd. I hope youlearned your lesson Mark, when it

    comes down to the crunch youdon't want some gumbo sitt'n be-side you. Although Bennett toldme to wait till about mid waythrough the run to grab the wheel Icouldn't resist J. So due to Mark'soffcourse excursion (ed. note,You'll be able to read about myseason in May's issue of The Link,stay tuned...) we ended up with atie between Jean Major and JeffGraves. There was heated discus-sion about the supps and how to

    break a tie, we realized that thewritten way to break the tie was soanti-climatic that we threw thesupps onto the oval and had Mikerun over them multiple times withthe studded tires.

    In true competitive fashion the tiebreaker was determined... oil, asquare circle, Jean and Jeff in Su-mo suits... no wait a minute that'snot what happened. A "Neutral"

    competition vehicle was choseneach driver got one practice lap,and then onto their hot lap. Competition was fierce but..... Check outhe results to find out who took theoverall series championship fo2003.

    The track itself serves two purpos

    es the primary is the drivingschools where MCO contributesvery high caliber instruction to ourmotoring community to help makeour winter travels just a little bisafer and it also serves as an outlefor us to have un-checked winterdriving euphoria. Neither of thesetwo would be possible without theincredible amount of time and energy that Bennett and his crew puinto, designing, plowing, andgrooming the track... A huge

    thanks to all of you! Also want toput a thanks out to Klaus Willroider for being the extraction vehicleand groomer for our events. Ahuge thanks to Nancy and Kellyfor doing the scoring for the entireseries and accommodating ou"rolling" lunches. Lastly thanks toJeff for guiding me through organizing a series for MCO.

    On behalf of Jeff and I, I hope you

    all had fun this year and come backnext year to support our serieagain.

    CLOSED WHEELDIRECTOR'S REPORT

    by Richard Muise

    This month I had the opportunity to attendboth the Ontario Race Organizers meetingand the Ontario Race Committee meeting,both at the CASC-OR offices in Toronto.

    For those that haven't been an ORC meet-ing (and all are welcome to join our repre-sentative Cindy Armstrong), this meetingis about the minuet and details of the run-ning of races. This includes Clerks of theCourse, Stewarts, marshals, etc.

    This meeting talked about possible rulechanges for 2003 and beyond. One of thehot issues is a potential yellow flagchange, which I think has been mentionedbefore. Other issues included a sample ofproper rollcage welds and future beltchanges. There was some discussionabout a clarification of the current yellow

    flags by Peter Corley from MMS.The next evening was the ORO meeting atthe same location. This meeting is for thepeople organizing race events in the re-gion; Ron Woltman represents our club.

    This meeting was much more tense. Thegeneral consensus by most attendees isthat 2003 will be financially difficultagain. Losses for nearly all clubs, rangingas high as the $5000 range was discussedby one of the Mosport organizers. Theirbudget has been hammered by a ambu-lance, tow and track rental increases.

    A general discussion started on how tomake the year closer to break even. One

    proposal was to increase the entry feesand issue refunds back to the driversshould the events stay in the black.

    There was a brief discussion on the Tour-ing entries, which indicate that this mightbe a very good series. Inquiries are com-ing from south of the border and fromsome of the drivers that previously didntcompete in the sprint races.

    At the end of the meeting, when clublogos were discussed, the Toronto basedclubs sang the praises for Rob Microys,our MCO web master extraordinaire.

    Without prodding from me, everyoneagreed that MCO had the best web pres-ence and good representation on the otherCASC web sites and forums (again mostlyRob). Bravo.

    Spring Fling at Shannonville is three daysthis year, April 11 through 13th. Of partic-ular note is that there will also be a mar-shal school that weekend, including theimportant fire extinguisher training. As amarshal, I hope that we can find more in-terested souls that want to get their li-cense. Aside from the expensive seatswith 6-point belts, being a marshal givesyou the best view of a race. There are somany great people that you will meet and

    the fun of being in the thick of things ismore than I can describe. Contact me ifyou want more information about thecourse or about the duties of a marshal.

    If you are interested in getting your racelicence (the aforementioned expensiveseat), please contact Rob Microys aboutthe MCO Race School at Shannonville,April 19-20.

    The first race weekend will be BARC atMosport, April 26-27. BEMC will also beat Mosport May 10-11.

    For those that may not be aware, the trans-ponders are now available from CASC.The transponders are mandatory for 2003.They are $397, contact the CASC office.

    Rally Quebecby Richard Muise

    Rallying is one of the worst things youcan do for a car. On a racetrack, you canhit another car, or the wall (tire barrier ifyou are lucky). In a rally, you could hit asnow bank, tree, wall, bridge guardrail,another competitor (rare, but see footagefrom Targa Nfld), really big live animals,

    or a fence.

    Which brings me to my story about myfirst time crewing for a rally team. I wascrewing with Paul Henshall (President ofRSO), subbing for another MCO memberwho could not attend. I wanted to use it asa learning experience. Perhaps I couldlearn a few things that would be applied toTeam Pumpkin.

    The Rally Internationale De Quebec is asnow rally in Quebec City. The Rally deQuebec was being observed by FIA for

    possible inclusion in a future WRC tour

    (possibly as early as 2004, making it thesecond snow rally on the tour).

    The service area was set up in the parkinglot of a very large mall, Les Galleries,which was complete with an indoor rollercoaster, ferris wheel and full size skatingrink. And one thing that really surprisedme: public smoking in the mall. Wow, Iwasn't expecting for that.

    But second-hand smoke wasn't the onlynoxious inhalant. I discovered whilewatching the ceremonial start Friday nightwhen I arrived, that there are fewer re-

    strictions on fuel for rally vehicles. Thesmells emanating from some of the vehi-cles were simply awful. 118 Octane some-one told me.

    There was little to do Friday night, exceptfollow the car (#38 Subaru Legacy Turbo)to Parc Ferme after the ceremonial start (a

    picture taking opportunity mostly). JoanHoskinson and Sandy Hygate drove theSubaru. We were co-located with car #13,driven by Andrew Comrie-Picard andBrian Maxwell in a Mitsubishi LancerEVO-IV. We shared crew for both cars, asthey would rarely be in the service area atthe same time.

    The rally started early on Saturday. A5:30am wake up call put us in servicearound 7:00 - car zero left for the firststage around 7:40am. The Subaru had

    been prepared previously for the recon-naissance and shake down stages the pre-vious two days, so Saturday morning wasmostly about checking fluids again.

    Crewing for a rally team is a very differ-ent experience from what I had found atour regional road tracks. The rally routes

    for this rally were a long distance out ofthe city. For 100km of routes on the firstday, there were 500km of transits to andfrom the stages. So we had hours to wait

    before the first 20-minute service.

    But when that car arrived (we had somewarning as all the cars would transitquickly then park 10 meters short of theservice area control point and wait untilthe exact second they were expected),

    there was a lot of work to do in a veryshort time (20 minutes is all that is al-low-ed in service).

    We had 6 crewmembers (plus the driv-er/co-driver) to attend to the car whilethey were in the service area. We re-moved all the tires to scrape out thesnow, fix anything that was broken (orduct tape it back on the car), check allfluids, wash all windows and sponsorslogos, adjust the turbo mount and feedthe drivers. It was not quite chaotic, aswe all intuitively knew what weshould be doing, and once done, each

    crewmember would immedi-ately andproactively start the next item on thechecklist.

    In 20 minutes, it was over and the carleft to transit to the next stage. Thesecond wait on Saturday was to be short,only about 90 minutes as the cars did aspecial stage (a la kinky drags) at the Hip-

    po-drome.

    The reports from the special stage came inspurts via consecutive cell phone

    "We had an off, but we think we are ok."

    "We had an off, and hit a fence."

    "We had an off, hit an fence, which is stillimbedded in the front of the car like wal-rus teeth."

    "We are pulled off on the highway back tothe service area when the car overheated.Oh, and all the cooling fluid is in a puddleon the ground from the fence post in therad."

    Yeah. So after only two sections of a four-section day, our team was done.

    We stayed and helped the other teamswith service around 7:00 before headingover to the Hippodrome again, this time asspectators.

    The next morning, we slept in and then re-turned to the service area to see if wecould help again with Andrew's car. Wemissed him there so we planned to watchone of the other stages in the city, ParcTechno, which was through an industrial

    park. Just as we were leaving for the spec-tator area, word came down that the stage

    was postponed by an hour because of thesnowstorm that had started.

    Rather than wait another 2 hours, I decided to leave for home before the snow goworse.

    Andrew and Brian eventually finishedthird overall, ahead of some of the factorycars! It was a great experience to workwith both cars. For Joan, this was her firs

    performance rally, but she was alreadymaking plans for later events, undeterred

    by the fence that jumped out in front oher during this event.

    Ted Powell Reportby Richard Muise

    We have made slow progress on the organizationof the 2003 Ted Powell Summer Trophy races inthe past month. But with the key members in

    place, I think we can get on the pace very quickly

    Rick and I held the second organizers meetingMarch 11th. The first point of discussion was the

    possible usage of the facility on Friday. It wathought perhaps a combined lapping event (put on

    by Track Dogs) and test day might float. However, after discussions on this topic and further discussions with Track Dogs, it was decided that thiswould not work well for either party.

    Later in the month Bennett Leckie stepped up toorganize a one-day Lapping School for the Friday. At this time, I don't have a lot of details. It ihoped that it will help draw workers for ourweekend from MCO. The Sunday, however, doeconflict with a Solo-II. Check with Bennett andsee the web site for more information.

    Two of the important positions for the weekendhave been filled. In alphabetical order, CindyArmstrong has agreed to be our Clerk of theCourse and Ron Woltman has agreed to be theSecretary of the Meet. With these positions filledwe can begin the task of delegating out the hugeeffort. We are tight for time, so expect a big pushin April to catch up.

    As an aside, as mentioned in my Directors Report, I would like to see MCO members takingtheir marshal licence, starting as early as SpringFling, April 11-13. If you want more informationabout being a marshal, please contact me (call oremail). Once you have obtained your licence, youwill be able to flag the Ted Powell event.

    Look for more information, including the budgein the next issue of the Link.
