I was wondering if there is a meet this Sunday ? I have missed all the meets since i've joined and wanted to attend the next 1. Would like to meet some of you guys and see your rides..... Thanks, Jay.

Once again, a mediocre turnout, and once again, many hours of fighting traffic to get home...
I know in the winter we always said "lots of people will show up when the weather is better". Well, now the weather is better, and there are STILL not that many showing up. I think part of the problem is that the meet often falls on a long weekend....
Now, I KNOW that a long time ago some cave man got out a hammer and chisel and carved into a stone that Yorkdale meets shall be the first Sunday of the month.....but I think time has come where perhaps we should look at changing this. First Sunday of the month OFTEN falls on a long weekend, leading to people having more important plans and being away.
What would you guys think of having the Yorkdale meets on the LAST Sunday of the month instead. This way, the only time it would fall on a long weekend would be if the sunday happened to be the actual last day of the month, then the Monday could be the first and a holiday. In those cases, I would say we delay the meeting a week and have it the first sunday of the following moonth instead.
If people are agreeable to this, the next meet could be August 26th, instead of the currently planned Sept. 2 (another long weekend). The meet after that I will miss regardless, as I will be away in Germany.
What do you guys think? Do you think that would help improve the turnout? I know I am NOT going to another YD meet that falls on a long weekend. I get there in 1.5 hours, but takes me anywhere from 3 to 6 hours to get home...

so, there has been no further comment on this for a while now. Is there a Yorkdale meet this weekend, the 26th? Or next weekend, the 2nd?
I know I will NOT attend the 2nd. Anyone going to be there this Sunday, the 26th??

Well, since there will only be two of you there, I am NOT going to be there this month....
Ryan, contact me by email. If you want an egr blockoff plate, you could pay me by email transfer, and I can ship by Canada Post just in a regular envelope.
Email me at: rtm_racing@cogeco.ca

you didn't miss anything. Guess I'll have to wait for the swap meet to see some other dsms.
