Despite what would be normally thought
of as the off-season, it's been quite busy
for me in the 8 weeks since the end of the
holidays. I've been busy with
Shannonville, fun laps at the driving
schools, karting, and the Link. On top of
the usual monthly work on the Link, I'vealso gone back and created web versions
of all Links going back August 2000. The
details on how the web versions will be
available continue to be worked out, but I
have high hopes that it will replace some
of the copies sent through the postal
service. This will have many benefits, such
as allowing full color for the web version,
cheaper distribution, and immediate
availability instead of the 2 to 3 days it
now takes to print the finished Link.
I signed up to be the registrar for theShannonville Lapping Weekend this year.
This is the first time that MCO has used an
electronic sign up method (Rob Microys
has his hands full with the work he's been
putting in on the MCO web pages!), and it
seemed to work very well indeed. We
filled all 80 seats in about 7 weeks. I
believe that's faster than the previous
lapping event back in 1999. There is still a
lot of paper work, mostly involving
matching cheques to the corresponding
electronic form, but it's far from
overwhelming.
I'll be attending the school as a student as
well, and I can't wait; it's still about 11
weeks away. It will be my first time on the
track, my previous experience being
limited to Solo-II and indoor karting. This
year I'll be using R-compound tires for the
Solo season, and will get to work them a
little harder at Shannonville.
This winter season I've also been part of
the MCO Indoor Karting League. Alas, theseries will be cut short. The March 13th
event will be the fourth and last, as Capital
Karting will be closing after March 16th. It
has been a lot of fun, close racing. It was
noted on the MCO mailing list that for the
first event only 2 tenths of a second
separated the 42-lap average of 2nd
through 6th place.

March 2001Ice Extravaganza!by Rob Microys
This year's Winter Solo II program was m etwith great success, especially with this win-ter offering continuously cold temperaturesand only two mild periods with rain. Ben-nett's and Steve Shaw's work on the trackkept it plowed, clear and smooth. This, com-
bined with a skid grooming device thatpacks down the loose snow, provided asuperb surface for all of the events. EvenMother Nature, with her mysterious work-ings, laid down a solid base for us at thebeginning of the program with the seasonsfirst thaw.
We were impressed with the facilities, rant-ed about the quality of the ice, and thecheered the superb course design. We hadthree Solo II events on this surface all ofwhich provided both fast and slippery sec-tions. The competitors were having a blast.Even the turnout was great despite the factthat most of our events were conflicting with
the Yokohama Winter Rally Series. It was
looking like the winter was treating us reallywell until it happenedthe largest rainfallof the w inter!
The track was flooded - definitely a poten-tial disaster. In fact, the entire weeken d'sactivities had to be canceled, as there wasjust too much water on the tra ck. We wereworried that the thin base of ice which wewere trying hard to maintain would be melt-ed away, but here's where it all turns out forthe best.
We returned the following weekend to anice-racing track whose ice quality wouldrival that of a world-class rink made by aZamboni! The hard snow banks actuallyallowed the water to accum ulate on the trackaround its entire length. There was not ablade of grass to be seen. Even the slightrise at the back of the track, which is nor-mally bare, remained locked in a sheet ofice. The last event was held on the slipperi-est surface that you may have ever had anopportunity to drive on - Lord knows, it washard enough standing on this stuff let alonedriving on it! We figure that a person with
ice skates on could have com pleted the SoloII course from the last event faster than thatof the quickest car. It was a sight to see.
By the end of the series we had 39 competi-tors participate in the four Solo II events. Itwas the largest annual turnout since we havebeen at Capital City Speedway. I'd like tothank Bennett Leckie and Steve Shaw forthe great work that they put in maintainingthe track! Also, thanks go out to Adam forcoming out and running two of the events.Thanks to all the participants for haulingtheir butts out of bed too, some of thosemorning s got a little cold. Soon it will besummer, and we'll start another series allover again in the mean time, keep the shi-ny side up.

MCO Teamcompetes in the2001 Yokohama
Winter Rally SeriesSteve Greiner and Nick
Berry in the YWRS
By Steve Greiner
Nick Berry and I competed in the2001 Yokohama Winter Rally seriesas novice competitors. We contendedin the only truck of the series againstthirty other novice teams in myvenerable and much abused 1986F150 4x4 tow vehicle. Nick managedto finish 6th overall in NoviceNavigator, and I managed to finish8th overall in Novice Driver. We also
finished 3rd in class in Saturdaynight's closely fought Ontario WinterRally event, the final event of theseries.
"Coolant was running down the insideof the windshield!"
The first event was the Rallye desNeiges out of Hawkesbury, takingplace from January 20th to the 21st.We battled a broken thermostat andleaky heater core to finish 11th placeout of 30 in the Novice class.
Although we did not get lost, wecould not figure out how to use theRally computer correctly and wereearly for almost all of the legs in thefirst two sections. At 4 am, inspirationhit Nick, and we started to sort it out.It turns out that Nick was thinking inmiles per hour, not kilometers perhour! All of a sudden he would tellme to run at 100 km/h, so I wouldpromptly mash the gas pedal andaway we'd go; exciting to say theleast. Unfortunately exhaustion,glycol fumes, and intense cold were
starting to get the better of us.Because of this, we couldn't move upthe rankings by much. By the end ofthe event, coolant was running downthe inside of the windshield andeverything in the truck was damp andcold. It turns out a set of GM keys hasfallen into the dash vents in the distantpast and worn a hole through theheater core. Apparently this is aknown problem with Ford trucks
"On the first pull the hook he usedstretched wide open."
Raring to go in Peterborough at theSnowy Safari Rally on February 3rdto 4th, we managed to go off the roadon the 1st leg of the first section. Itturns out what I thought was a two-lane road was in fact only a one-lane
road with major over-plow. Our4500lb truck broke through 5 inchesof ice and fell into a really deep ditch.After climbing from the window, Irealized that I couldn't see the wheelsof the truck--they were completelyburied! On top of all this I had slicedmy thumb which bled profusely formost of the event. I managed to getblood on just about everything in thetruck! After two hours we werefinally freed by the CAA, as the twoseries sweep trucks could not get usout. The CAA driver had to pull us up
a 45cm wall of ice and on the firstpull the hook he used stretched wideopen! We got maximum lateness forthe first Section, but they let uscontinue. We finished 25th out of 30in Novice. In Section 2 we managed a7th, and in Section 3 we managed a6th"When I slammed my door infrustration, the driver's side mirrorfell off!"
There were also two events out ofKingston this past weekend. We had arocky start in the Frost Bite Rally, thefirst event on Friday the 16th, andwere running in 8th place at the endof the first section. It was verychallenging to keep up to the averagespeeds in some sections--as much as72 km/h! Imagine driving to a cottageon the back roads at 100 km/h andyou get the idea. We were moving upin the second section when, at about 4am, I misjudged an icy curve only acouple of kilometers from the end ofthe Section. I went off the road,narrowly missing a tree. I pushed inNick's side of the truck, and when Islammed my door in frustration thedriver's side mirror fell off! This timethe sweep vehicle got us out but wewere 25 minutes too late to the lastcheckpoint of the section and wereDNF'd.
MCO team finishes 3rd in Novice athe Ontario Winter Rally on Februar17th !!!
The second event of the combineweekend, the Ontario Winter Rally oSaturday the 17th was more of thsame excitement and speed. I wachanting the mantra "no mistakes, n
mistakes" the whole time. I absoluteldid not want a repeat of the lascouple of events. Some of the Legwere the same as Friday's event, andfelt comfortable on the twisty roadaround Westport. At some poinduring the wee hours of the morningwe began to notice a disconcertinnoise coming from the fronpassenger-side fender on the realltight right hand turns. During ainspection after the event, we noticethat the right front spring hacollapsed. In spite of the damage w
managed 7th in the first Section, 6tin the 2nd Section, and with only 3.points against us, 1st in the lasSection, for a combined total of abou19 points. We received a third placand were completely floored by oufinishing result, especially after sucan exhausting event.
"some of the most challenging roadin Eastern Ontario and South WesterQuebec"
These events are by far the mosentertaining thing I have done in long time. For those of you that donknow, the Yokohama Winter RallSeries is made up of four events. Th( TDS ) Time Distance Speed rallieare between 400km and 550km, anare run at night on some of the moschallenging roads in Eastern Ontariand South Western Quebec. You cacompete in ordinary street cars, anthe only required piece of equipmenis an orange safety triangle. I stronglrecommend that you try it out.
A big thanks to the MCO team of JimMorrow and Jaak Laan for helping ufigure out that damned rallcomputer, and congratulations oyour podium finish in the seriechampionship!

EarnhardtWe Say Goodbye to a
Racing Legendby Stephen Bolt
As many of you may have heard,the world of Motorsports has saidgoodbye to racing legend DaleEarnhardt. Tragedy struck onFebruary 18th, during his final lapat the Daytona 500. Earnhardt waskilled instantly when he hit theretaining wall at full speed whileprotecting the position of MichaelWaltrip and Dale Jr, who weredriving cars owned by Dale Sr.
This has proven a strong reminderto drivers of all ages that to driveat the limit is to live at the limit,
and this is something thatEarnhardt proved time and timeagain.
"This is understandably the hardestannouncement I've ever had tomake. We've lost Dale Earnhardt."Forty-nine years, 76 wins, sevenWinston Cup championshipsreduced to four words: We've lostDale Earnhardt. - NASCARpresident Mike Helton quotedfrom www.cnn.com
Known as 'The Intimidator',Earnhardt was once quoted assaying "Get the hell out of the racecar if you've got feathers on yourbutt." Evidently his ability totackle fear lead to a legendaryracing career. When fans think ofNascar Legends, just two names
come to mind: Richard Petty andof course, Dale Earnhardt. To thisend, Dale's victories are a hugeaccomplishment.
"All 76 of Earnhardt's triumphscame after the [NASCAR] circuitwas reorganized and significantlystreamlined, meaning, in theory atleast, he was assured of competingagainst the best each and everytime out." - Joe Macenka, TurnerSports Interactive from
www.nascar.com
Dale is survived by his son, DaleJr., three other children and hiswife. His energy and enthusiasmwill live on in motorsports fansfrom years to come. For many, thenumber 3 car will be rememberedas a force to be reckoned with,piloted by a driver with passionand commitment.
For more information, check outhttp://www.nascar.com/DRIVERS/winston/DEarnhar00/tribute/index.html
R e f e r e n c e s : w w w . c n n . c o m ,www.nascar.com
Editor Note:
It is an especially talented personthat can push a 700hp-racervehicle to 200mph for 500 miles.Dale did that and won over andover again in a remarkable career.
I had not previously watched muchNASCAR coverage, but it wasthrough an MCO member that Irecently got the opportunity towatch Earnhardt display his skills.
I had tuned in to watch JimHoltom at the Rolex 24 Hours ofDaytona, but alas, saw little of thePorsche because of the mediacoverage of Earnhardt (and hisson) in the Corvette. Earnhardtseemed to enjoy himself during therace, even in the rain, a newelement from the normally dryNASCAR race conditions.However, after the 24 Hours ofDaytona, it was only 3 weeksbefore he lost his life at the same
track.
Despite being one of the olderdrivers on the NASCAR circuit,there was nothing fading in hiscareer, and was more than able totake up the challenge of newracing series. More than the pastwas lost at the Daytona this year, itwas a future too.

THE PRESIDENT'SREPORT
by Ron Woltman
So little time - so much to report.Elsewhere in this issue, you will finddetails concerning our winter drivingskid schools. They were remarkablysuccessful as Nigel points out. And Iecho his thanks to all of the teaminvolved in this effort which reallymakes a meaningful contribution tothe community. Well done to a greatgroup of individuals. Let me add oneitem, that is, what a boon to have aweb site (with all the information)and have the capacity to register online! Makes the job of an organizerso much easier. A tip of the fedora toRob Microys -- master of the web.
We did ask for, and receive feedback,strangely enough! The feedback wasunabashedly positive. Two areas ofconcern were noted, however: one,the lack of a classroom/washroomfacility on site; two, the lack of near-by eating establishments. Concerningthe former, the executive will reviewpossible alternatives; the latter can beaddressed perhaps by having acatering truck on site etc. One asideon that issue is that I am taken to
understand that Penny Bell, the ownerof Capital City Speedway, iscontemplating opening the restaurantout front on the highway year round.See what you get when you read CityWOMAN magazine!
Trophies, points and awards! As youmay recall, I initiated a committee toreview our worker point system,volunteerism and awarding oftrophies. Thus far, the solitary 'trend'the committee has highlighted, is theawarding of The Driver of the Yearaward and other like competitive-based awards. The initial take,supported by some member feedback,is those awards, most particularly theDriver of the Year, should be solelymerit-based, and not require x-number of worker points; other thanperhaps a contribution to the'betterment' of the club.
Moreover, we have had somesuggestions concerning members'contributions towards club activitiesetc., and the appropriate recognition
and reward of same. Most everyvolunteer organization is faced withsimilar issues of worker recognitionand retention in this day-and-age of'me-ism'. A few individuals haveproffered the suggestion of a systemwith more concrete remuneration, inaddition to a certificate or trophy. Forexample, worker points could be tiedto a pre-determined number of 'bonusbucks' which could be applied to areduction in your membershiprenewal; tee-shirts, jackets, pins and
other recognition paraphernalia behanded out etc.
However, we need more input. Tothat end, in your next Link, you willfind a survey/questionnaire. PLEASERESPOND. Your views areimportant. As well, I need anotherindividual to come forward to lead orchair the committee, as Mike Lowe isoccupied with the 50th Anniversarybook.
AUTORAMA. Scheduled for April6, 7, and 8. Need some volunteers tohelp. I will coordinate, but I wantsomeone to be 'hands-on.' SEE ME.
Guest Speakers. I have arranged forone for tonight's meeting - Shannon-Lee Mannion, writer for theWHEELS section of the OttawaCitizen. And a neat surprise speaker
for next month. Suggestions arealways welcome for guest speakers orentertainment. See your executive.We are here for YOU.

MORTIMER MUTTERINGSby Nigel Mortimer
We have now completed the winter driving schoolfor 2001. It has been an incredible success on allfronts. Due to the weather and media activity wehave trained approximately 130 persons, all of whomraved about the quality of the school. The profit tothe club has been substantial and as members you allget to benefit from the extreme effort of a few souls.This was definitely "our finest hour" and a huge debtis owed to these individuals. This is what makes ourclub great!
As the chief instructor I would like to thank thefollowing persons, without whom we could not havedone it:
Ron Woltman, who was the chief organizer and aninstructor. The complexity of booking the students
was enormous and Ron carried it off to perfection.This takes hundreds of hours of dedication andperseverance.
Bennett Leckie, who engineered a highly efficienttrack grooming skid and prepared the track toperfection. His task was especially daunting due tothe frequent use of the track and the many snowfalls. Bennett was also an instructor.
The other instructors showed incredible patience,perseverance and dedication. These people included:Bob Armstrong, Len Clue, Jeremy Hamilton,
Jaak Laan, Sam Mandia, Robert Microys, AdamMortimer, Roger Picard, Chris Swinwood, PaulSwinwood, and Ferdinand Trattmansdorff.
Our incredibly hardy helpers extricated stuckvehicles and set up the various course exercises.These people include: Allan Pepper, Jim Morrow,Ryan Woltman, Gord Acorn, Jean MacGillivray,Herb Henning, Bill Henning, and Rob Microys.
Last but certainly not least is our intrepid snowplower, Steve Shaw . He made us the best tracklayout we have ever had!
The word "Thanks" just doesn't seem enough for allof your work!

Advanced DriversGroup
Greetings Drivers,We had great weather, great drivers,and great fun at both the May andSeptember events last year. Thank
you to all who participated, andhopefully you will be able to join usagain this year. We also encourageeveryone to pass on information aboutADG to other motorsportsassociations and drivers.
For our group to remain viable, it isnecessary that we continuously searchfor new members to re-place thosewho, for one reason or another, nolonger attend. Active recruiting by ourparticipants has always been our mainsource of new enrollment and we
hope that this will continue. Spreadthe good word mates!ADVANCED DRIVER GROUP:We have been running AdvancedDriver Improvement Days atShannonville since 1992.Shannonville is an excellent facility torun controlled lapping events as it isboth technically challenging and verysafe. The main purpose ofADVANCED DRIVER GROUP is toprovide drivers who already know the
basics of high speed track-drivingunlimited seat time. This bothimproves their skills and allows themto fully enjoy their sport. To this endwe run an open track with no groupsfor the full day. Each driver is free tocome and go on the track at will andparticipants have no corner workingor flagging duties.
Unlike traditional motorsport clubevents, ADG Events are completelynon-competitive. Participants drive attheir own comfort level and, becausethere is no pressure to compete,can push themselves and their cars aslong as it is safe and enjoyable. Forthis reason, our type of event isusually less stressful on both driverand vehicle than either slalom or timetrials.
Qualifications:Participation in ADG Events is aninvitation only to drivers who haveattended a performance driving/racingschool and/or have extensive trackexperience.Rules:
Our rules are simple:*Pass only in designated areas and
only when signaled (by the car youare passing)*Do not dice, duel, race, or tailgate*Yield to faster cars*Obey the flaggers*Assume complete responsibility for
having your vehicle in safe, trackready conditionFailure to obey any of the above ruleswill earn you a black flag and a chat.
Three black flags and your day isover. We also frown on off-trackexcursions; two of these and, unlessthere are mitigating circumstances,your day is over.2001 Schedule:ADG is pleased to announce 2confirmed events for 2001. We havebooked the full track (4 kms., 14corners) at Shannonville MotorsportPark for Friday, May 11, and FridaySept. 14. An additional event maymaterialize at Le Circuit, MontTremblant with another track group.This is yet to be confirmed.
