Re: Hey Hosers! (Dwayne 76)
Let me first say that I speak for all Canadians when I say we should name it the Toronto Shark Pack, as Toronto is the center of Canada, it would only seem appropraite. Ok, here is the change The Ontario section would be good, as Ontario is the center of Canada....blah blah blah :grouphug:
We Canadians call Toronto the center of the universe because people from there seem to beleive that is. I'm from Ontario originally, and beleive me, it's a good place to be FROM!!! As in AWAY from!!! There's more to Canada than T-dot thank GOD. The west is the best by far. I'd rather climb a mountain than the CN tower any day!!! Crazy flatlanders :rant:
Great white north sounds good to me

Re: Hey Hosers! (Dwayne 76)
I made the mistake once I've PAYING to see a CASCAR event, in Cayuga. First off, Cayuga is probably one of the worst venues I've ever been to. POORLY run, in fact I would compare the organization of the CASCAR / NASCAR Shoot Out to that of a Shot Gun wedding. The cars that were used were bad, and thats not just my opinion, many of the NASCAR drivers that came to this event were also disappointed with the cars they were given to use. I believe that by having NASCAR come up here there would be better oppertunities for our CASCAR drivers, therefore givnig them more exposure to a MUCH bigger market and more sponsership money, instead of spinning around 1/2 mile tracks. Sorry if I offended you Michael.
Now, as to not TOTALLY hi jack this thread, I think CANADIAN EVENTS CALENDAR would be a fine title, and IF there is enough room, divide us into geographical regions.
Once again, thanks CF.
BTW, after the dyno run, the CASCARS are having a "night run" at Mosport, anyone interested?

Re: Hey Hosers! (75Rag)
I am continually being edumicated on this forum, had never heard of CASCAR until this thread. Given I am not a big NASCAR fan, a low budget version of it holds even less allure. I like watching the CART/INDY/F1 road racing - well I should stipulate - the racing that takes place on tracks where passing is a relatively easily attainable feat. I used to race 1/4 for bikes (Kawasaki) in the early 70's in Mission BC so I have seen many different racing events in Canada, really liked the CanAm races but just don't remember anything about CASCAR.

Re: Hey Hosers! (75Rag)
I know what you mean about the money, and I have thought about that. But CASCAR is a lot like the CFL, its small. Not that thats entirly bad, but I'd really like to see more Canadian drivers take on NASCAR. If Ron Fellows is any indication of the qualilty of potential Canadian NASCAR drivers, we need to get more in there. As for the CFL, I really want an NFL team in Toronto. Thought that won't happen any day soon.
:D You know, I love stock car racing, but where is Mosport? I'll go to any stock race, as long as its not Cayuga. Actually, maybe you could arrange something with the track to allow us to have special parking, that is away from everyone elses cars.

Re: Hey Hosers! (Dwayne 76)
Ddecart, thanks for going through the trouble of trying to setup a seperate forum for us Canuckles, but in all honesty I don't see it being used. I, as do many others, prefer to live in C3. Although its a neat idea, it may not work the way its intended. I just did a poll recently on what people thought the Forum should be used for. There has been an overwhelming response to using it for tech issued AND social event planning. Again, thanks for goin' through the trouble.

Re: Hey Hosers! (Dwayne 76)
Well folks. Like it or not, you now have your very own event section for Canadia!
Click Here for the Great White North, eh?
http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zeroforum?id=97
It's all of one more section for Canadians to check in on. With the concentration of people around Toronto, I suspect it'll be a handy communication forum for you guys up there. Just be on the lookout for George. For those of you that missed him, he came and went yet again recently.
btw, yes, this does mean Canadian event planning will get moved to the Canadian Event section if it's not a general interest C3 thing. :yesnod:
