You were technically correct, Rick - it rained at the Glen! Fortunately, it was Wednesday night so only the first run on Thursday still had damp spots. Otherwise those concrete patches would have been really exciting!

I forgot to mention the Spec stage two clutch and the Fidenza lighted flywheel in the credits. (Probably due to the great difficulty I had with a local mechanic doing the install . . . Tried to put that out of my mind! ) Altogether, the new parts cut out about 25 lbs. compared to stock and increased the noise level dramatically.

Return to Hudson Bay 2010 (and 2011) . . . not
