Hello all,
Iâ??m about half way home and thought Iâ??d share my thoughts on the Mosport
Kastner Cup races last weekend.
- Henry was right, VARAC puts on one heck of an event at Mosport. They
welcomed the Triumphs with open arms, provided lots of track time, and fed us
well.
- We had the mandatory test day on Thursday with 4 on track sessions. I ran 3
of those. The race weekend had 10 sessions and I ran 9 of those. My car
worked very well all weekend with just a couple of minor issues that were
easily fixed. I never even had to add oil or water the whole time. Crazy.
Just A LOT of gas.
- Bill was right. The Mosport track is both fun and terrifying at the same
time. I felt like I was doing pretty good most of the weekend, but Henry still
turned a lap 3 seconds faster than my best time. I could never really get
comfortable going into turn 2. I even tried just closing my eyes and hoping
for the best, but that didnâ??t work either. Iâ??m thinking I only achieved 2
3/4 testicles rather than a full 3.
- Hanging out with fellow FOT racers is always a great time. There isnâ??t a
bad one amongst us (except for me, maybe). Everyone has a good time, races
clean, and is always willing to lend a hand or spare part if needed.
- Bob Lang, Jesse Darrow, and Pat Darrow provided some great racing fun.
Iâ??ll post the video I took during the Kastner Cup race and youâ??ll see what
I mean. All three are my kind of people, and I hope they take that as the
compliment I intend it to be!
- Thanks to Greg Thompson who gave me one of those fancy blue Bosch coils after
my Pertronix coil failed. The car ran so much better after that.
- Congrats to Bob Lang for winning the Kastner Cup. He deserved it.
- It was an honor to take 2nd place in the Jack Drews Memorial race. I
deserved 3rd, but Jesse Darrow was kind enough to run out of gas towards the
end. Fortunately for me, he doesnâ??t suspect any foul play. I also won the
Peggy Kastner fastest TR4 award, which was a nice bonus.
- A big thanks to Henry Frye for organizing this one. I always wanted to race
at Mosport and he gave me the reason to finally do it. I truly appreciate your
efforts and your friendship Henry.
Iâ??m sure I forgot something but this email is already too long. Hope to see
you all at the next one!
Chuck Gee
