Hanson Day, April 6th

[BioBanker]

The day is upon us!

Weather is showing that it will be cold, but hopefully dry with a possibility of fluries! Best place to find Mosport weather is HERE.

Who is coming? You must register with the Hansons:

Peter Hanson
416.540.2995
[email protected]

Plan on arriving around 7:30.

For those looking for directions, click on the link below. From the 401, head North up 57 in Bowmanville. Drive about 15 minutes (DONT SPEED - POLICE) and turn right (East) onto 20. Watch for the turnoff onto Concession 10 (about 6km) and follow the signs to the DRIVER DEVELOPMENT CENTER. Do not go to the Grand Prix track. The DDT is on your right. When you come through the gate, hang left. Past the skidpad you will see a line of cars in the field. Come over to the NSXs.

Is there interest in a caravan up to the track? We could meet at the Starbucks at Kennedy and the 401 around 6:45 to 7AM.

Cold and wet is GOOD for first timers! (Or first time in a while-ers)

The car will slide around at WAY lower speeds which is a safe way of learing how to not make the mistakes you are making (you're making mistakes if your car is sliding)

The key thing you are learing is to control the car - this isn't a day to figure out the top speed your car will go, or how quickly you get there!

Think about it - this is an opportuity to see how good you really are!

 

[BioBanker]

This is not looking good.

Flueries all day.

I may not be able to get to this at all. My car cant drive with R compounds if theres any sign of snow.

 

[Ski_Banker]

Hanson??? Live and in person? Wow...add Celine Dion and Avril Lavigne to the ticket and you'd have a real Canadian rager! :tongue: :biggrin:

(joke about Ricky Martin playing in Miami goes ----> _____ )

 

[Daria]

C'mon ... Dave.
$39.95 for a bright red Mazda 3 with unlimited mileage!
Hell, your oil change on the NSX will cost you more than that!
Even a +/-110 Hp Mazda is too much car for a snow covered track.
You can still call Thrifty or Budget and pick one up at the airport.
No excuses

Snow covered track it was!

Awesome to see you at the track Rick and Arshad!

Yeah, and your favorite band, Miami Sound Machine!

Please tell me, someone took pics.

 

[swbatte]

Two pics should have been taken:

1. Dave in his NSX with R-compounds in a snow storm at the track. He wins the 'VTEC Powered Crotch Award' for 2007!

2. Daria in his Mazda-3 blowing the doors of a race prepped 280ZX, a RS4, and other monster machines! They couldn't get up the hill and Daria just drove by them at 30kph! Beep Beep!

It was fun all the same. We all got credited for the day and Hanson is hosting another date for us, no charge for those who came today. Very good instruction btw.

Thanks for the cigar Stu and Dave! I'll bring the Cubans next time.

 

[BioBanker]

To all of those who didnt show (Arshad, Rick, Nathans, Mike, etc...), you're extremely lucky to get another chance to come to this as, as Sean said, the day will be rescheduled.

Rick, no excuses this time! And dont try to wiggle out with "Im flying that day" again, "flying low" doesnt count. We are wise to your schenagins.

 

[Ski_Banker]

Yeah, and your favorite band, Miami Sound Machine!

Haha blast from the past! If my NSX had a real system in it, that would be a cool name for 'er. :biggrin: In the meantime, Alicia Silverstone is a fine name.

Alicia Silverstone has curves, but not like the NSX - Get that Stereo!:wink:

Well, the nsx is officially out of storage (just in time for 15 cms of snow today)

Any word on the rescheduled event?

You say redundant, I say redundant,
You say redundant, I say redundant,
Redundant, Redundant, Redundant, Redundant,
let's call the whole thing off..

 

[Oyagi]

OK ladies, I've booked the day off and am definitely IN! 8)

I just called Hanson and left a voicemail as well as emailed them for registration info. Consider me there (and hopefully supercharged as well ). I'm actually postponing a paint job on her that day for this...all the better in case I get scuffed up on the track

 

[Oyagi]

Got my ap last week, filled out and paid in full!

Who's coming this time?

 

[swbatte]

I'm comin.

 

[Red]

[BioBanker]

OK, I'll change the brake fluid in the X and drive it out for a few laps!

 

[Oyagi]

Exxxxceeelllent!

Looking forward to seeing and meeting everyone (finally!).

Sean, is my shirt gonna be there?

Dinner plans gents? I do have to be back in Ottawa that night but I can always take in a quick bite before hitting the road.

John

 

[swbatte]

Hey John,

Stu has the shirts now. I shipped them all to him.
They will be at the detailing day this weekend. I think if you ask Stu nicely he'll bring your shirt to the Hanson day!
