Probably not this year, I have never been west of Red Rock, I really wanna ride lake of the woods sometime. The only other area I have never been is Havlock , Ottawa area. I don't think there will be much big riding for me till the plandemic subsides.....that doesn't seem to fit the agenda yet, so just local stuff as conditions permit for me.

does anyone know if Half way is owned property or a crown land lease?

There is a guy that shows up to the track once n a while , he has those air things all over his car, looks kinda funny, I think he drives a truck for a living. So this is the second time I have seen them, on his car and now this thread. No clue on the actual functionality, for certain they make a car odd looking.

Mine peeled off just like that this year as well.
so there was no void lettering on the permit at all?
-
looks counterfeit, can you see the void through it anywhere? is the permit number raised from the rest of the permit?
-
I agree with the advancements. I just don't see the majority running electric stuff. There are huge hurdles to overcome, I think allot of dreamers are selling the hurdles short, JMO.

when GM and Ford announced that they would be completely electric by 2035 er 40, whatever it was Elon Musk was crying that north american infrastructure would only support 15% of the vehicle market to be electric. The other thing nobody considers is the price of plastic, if refining companies are not selling as much gas n diesel, do you really think polyethylene will remain at a sustainable price......this stuff is not rocket science, it's a greenie pipe dream, people that have absolutely zero clue in what is involved in a true carbon footprint. I'd like to see nothing but electric planes for these jackrods to fly around in, that would make me sleep like a baby.

I remember about 2005 we were looking at trying to add to our power feed to our data centre. York Mills and Don Mills area. Toronto Hydro told us it couldn't be done since the infrastructure in the area was already at capacity and there weren't any plans to upgrade the already very old components. Now imagine trying to add chargers for thousands of cars.
for a while there some municipalities were not issuing building permits unless a 50A circuit for car charging was on the blueprint. I haven't heard much about that lately.

Come on. You were quitting over covid too. If they give you a 180 hp monster that is quicker off the line than the new mach z you'll be all over it. Lol.
If and when the charging infrastructure is in place I'm all in. Small scale nuclear needs to play a big role in transforming the power grid. We need something to use up the spent fuel that already exists. The future is coming. We all have a choice. Move forward or stick our heads in the sand. My kids want to snowmobile. Keep going the way we are and the Ohio weather we have in district 5 will make its way to district 15. This tech can't come soon enough. GM's on board, BRP too. Lots more to come.
going electric will never change the earths relationship to the sun and it will not make magnetic north true north. It is called a cycle, no mater what government appointed environmentalists tell you. My head is no where near stuck in the sand and I ain't drinkin the koolaid either.

lol, everyone will find out how much noise the track really makes.
I wouldn't get to uptight about everything being electric, the infrastructure is not in place and it won't be by 2030 either. If GTA went to all electric right now the grid would come to a grinding halt. It is a pipe dream at best. What are they gonna doo? refine crude or natural gas to get the polyethylene off it and burn the rest off on the cracker? boy, that'll fix the carbon issue, lmfao

Reading some of Smokey's stories are pretty funny. One was when NASCAR took the fuel cell out of his car due to size 'issues'. He jumped in it, fired it up, drove it out of the garage area & back to his shop in town...
He did some crazy things, I can't remember how many feet of fuel line he put in a nascar but it was abnormally large amount, sent the goons in a tailspin. He also filled roll bar tubing with lead shot to get through tech and meet weight requirements, then he would dump it out on the track. I could listen to his stories all day if given a chance. The man was a wizard of his time and many of his over stock improvements are still used today. His dyno is in Garlits museum as are some of his cars.

Never been there!
it is pretty cool, he has allot of stuff in there, I spent the better part of 4hrs looking through everything, there is a bunch of Smokey Yunicks stuff in there. Tons of drag racing memorabilia from all the big names, defiantly worth the look if you like that kind thing and your in the area.

I can not imagine sledding or riding my Harley without a helmet.But to each their own.
I always said the same thing, I was at Daytona bike week and I did take my helmet, I never did put it on, felt real weird at first, and I was comfortable around town and what not, and it is a different kind of surroundings that week. People are very aware, there are still crashes but not near what you would think with as many people as there are there. I did get out on my own 1 day and I was just riding twisty 2 lanes, realized I was close to Ocala and got to thinking I should go over n check out Don Garlits place, so I get out on 75 and I will tell you, that will never happen again without a helmet. I did bike week in Arizona and wore a helmet everywhere I rode. As a general rule, I would pretty much wear a helmet even when there is no law saying so, especially in Michigan, even if the drivers weren't crazy the roads are junk, lol

Something to ask next season when booking rooms (especially @ staging locations), do you charge for parking when we aren't there? Hopefully the trend does start that if one gets away w/ it, other businesses will follow suit.
we always asked, never a problem......changing times I suppose.

probably, sounds like the snow was not the best between there n Cochrane , compared to a more normal year,,,,,and the plandemic
-
I haven't toured in years, but I did for many many and never had an issue, for years we we left trucks n trailers at motels for 6-7 days, just left the keys. Problem is, the pepsi generation are now holding the management roles, we watched this fiasco in the making for years......

We left this am. Kap and Hearst are the only ones handling the increased traffic the best. Moonbeam clubhouse to Cochrane was absolutely destroyed. We turned around at the Moonbeam clubhouse and rode every L trail Kap has twice yesterday. Good season ending toot for us. @Mrs Turbo Doo sled is sold now, and we are focusing on our '22 900T R's now...
That is something that I chuckle about and usually just to myself regarding grooming. Those clubs have no idea what southern clubs go through for the short season they are open, what those clubs are seeing for the next couple weeks is a fraction of what our clubs see in regards to traffic. It's good for them to see some hi traffic for a bit, lol.
Sounds like you had a great trip aside from the motel issues, I enjoyed the reports.

Carden does have a facebook page, if you do that stuff you could try messenger and see if they respond.

How can we find out when the meetings are? Is each club require to host an annual meeting (AGM)?
Mike
Well....... I just looked at the MOST site, the only advice I have is see if you can find the presidents phone number and give him a call. They sure don't have much info.
-
you guys should find out when their meetings are and get together and go. Unfortunately, sometimes you need to beg to be allowed to help. Get some new blood in there. I wish I lived where there was lots of snow, I enjoyed being involved and would do so again if there was snow. It's worth the effort, even if it seems pointless to go through the hoops to be involved.

The Lunacy Begins

This is one of the reasons I stepped back, it is total bs, and just watching freeloaders.
