Moving to Ontario

next year. Will be finishing school in Barrie. Where is the nearest 1/4 mile track? Anyone here from Barrie or been there?

Whats your impression? I am not planning on taking my car- so maybe soemone could give me a lift to the track

I've been in Ontario twice. Once in 87- from Detroit to Windsor and other time was maybe 1980- somelake over the MB border- quite awhile at any rate.

Welcome

Welcome to Ontario it is yours to discover -- or atleast thats what our license plates read.

Not bringing your car ? I'd love to see another 1LE on our board. We had one awhile ago but it disappeared not sure if we have any others ?

Love the avatar.

Thanks for the avatar compliment- not too many people know what it is. I plan on going the musuem- whre it is I'm not sure though.

As for the 1LE, I've never had one despite what my username is, besides they didn't make 1LE's in 87
(88 and up). My username is in reference to my
old 87 ex Players race car, which I had 93-94.
It was a totaly stripper for options (not even a hatchrelease or tilt) and it had the HD alternator, engine oil cooler, 3.45s)

I raced 3 Mustang GTs and a MR2 Turbo and beat 'em all Sorry for the confusion on that.

Now I have an 88 IROC 305 TBI- kinda of a waste I know.

Now about those race tracks......I stil can watch....

love your car BTW (except for T-roofs, I'm a hardtop guy, what can I say? I'd like a Formula or T/A next car

I've been a long time fan of the Arrow too bad Ottawa wasn't eh ? What a scandal. Well thats an old debate eh ? There are a few really great museums, one in Ottawa (scene of the crime) and the other in Hamilton at the Airport. Both are great places to visit if you are a history/air-war-plane buff and both have an Arrow display.

Hey I've done a TBI buildup before they can make alot of HP just have to treat it like a carb build-up. We can talk about it sometime.

Thx for the comp I hear yah on the t-roofs they suck but the car was too good to pass up just cause of roofs. I've been to a few body shops getting quotes on converting it to a hardtop... they say I'm crazy hahaha...

adious,
