Apparrently Dave B might have put the shootout back together afterall. The July 21st weekend would be the date. I'm not 100% on this one though. Later... ------------------ Mike J-Quadcylla-92 Laser RS-T, FWD Vortex Racing http://www3.sympatico.ca/robin.jackson2/HomePage.htm Alt Email: vortexracing@hotmail.com

At the Ohio shootout, you will only race against DSMs, which is fine but at the London event you can kick Honda, VW, Mazda butt etc. It will be more fun. Ohio was fun last year but its a far drive and expensive, try $75 US a night for a motel thats a 1/2 drive to the track. I say boycott Ohio and lets make the Candaian Magnus shootout one to remember. If we go for the weekend we can party Sat. night. Marco has but up the cash to book the track so lets support him.

<sigh> I wish I could go to both, but it doesn't make sense for me either. I like Dave's event... well run, beautiful track (London's track blows goats by comparison) and it's a nice 3 day weekend, with the Imports on Sunday, the Auto-Cross & Carshow Saturday, in addition to the all-DSM crowd on the Friday. Makes me feel sad that I will have to make a choice... damn. I wish Dave had picked another weekend. Or at least looked at the calendar, to see when other DSM types had planned replacement events, and planned around that... the 30th was clearly marked on the DSM events Calendar... I sent him a personal email, just wishing him the best of luck, but that I wasn't sure how many Canadians could make it this year, based on the proximity to the DSM vs. Them event. I'm rambling... but let me throw out one more thought, before this turns into a Buschur vs. Magnus comparison (I see hints of that above already). This isn't fair. Two excellent guys, who run decent businesses ( no matter what anyone says, you have to admit that at least) and who genuinely " give a sh!t", and their events are mere days away from each other. Yet, at other times in the summer, we'll be crying for a decent DSM event, or be stuck with the 17 second hondas out at Cayuga because we're desperate for something to do. I'm sure Dave's timing relates to the already well-publicized Import event on the Sunday (23rd). He's stuck there... Is our Canadian timing locked in stone? I'm not saying we should even talk about moving it, but at the same time there are probably a bunch of guys south of the border, who are now faced with a similar choice... I'll stop rambling... just depressed. :| ------------------ Andrew Bienhaus - Web-Team Dude1997 Eagle Talon TSi AWD[This message has been edited by Andrew Bienhaus (edited March 15, 2000).]

Well, this really throws a fly into the ointment... I am looking really forward to the event on the 30th. With Ohio being the week before, I will not be able to get down there for the same reason that everyone else is complaining about... Dont want to do it 2 weeks in a row... Any chance of Dave passing up or changing the date of the event in Ohio? What would be best is if we could get his croud up here as well.. (Bribe them with good beer, and the cheap Canadian dollar) As for changing our date... sheesh, I had already notified work that there was absolutely, positively, no way in he_l that I would be working that weekend... They probably wouldn't be too pleased if I go back and say "I was just joking"... Just my 02. ------------------ 92 Talon Tsi AWD 13.425@ 101.78mph Finally hit the 13's! It's working!

Well Im sure the U.S. event will be fine but one thing is for sure. Being a CANADIAN I will be supporting my own. I am going to St. Thomas no matter what. Besides if we keep giving in to this and go to the U.S. event we will never be able to get good turn outs for our events. Hands down I'm goin to St. Thomas.

Too bad none of them can be moved. It really stinks. As for myself, I'll attend the canadian event and I'll see for the DSM shootout. I really doubt I'll attend both. Stil, when I have to choose, I always prefer to go with the "local" guys.
OK, London isn't exactly local for us Kebeckers, but well, it's closer.
