Discussed our ice race weekend: should race still be
held if it is raining?
do we really want grilled gull again?
Martin had his tie-rod replaced
Martin had the tie-rod on his car replaced

in plate envy.

Email from the Burgers ...
I'm sorry that we weren't in Toronto long
enough to come to the meeting on Wednesday. I hope we will make a meeting
on our next trip to Ontario whenever it will be. Thanks for corresponding
with us. Frieda and Gerd Burger
PS: If any members are coming to the
Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia, our telephone # is 902-542-4211 and we
would be pleased to meet them. Our email is
fritzi@eastlink.ca if anyone wishes
to email us first.
We live in the Kentville-New Minas-
Wolfville area and or Valley is beautiful; worth showing off!
There was a very good turnout for the annual awards
dinner held this time at the Grill On The Gull in Minden (to view the
photo album - click the photo at right). Sean served up an amazing BBQ'd
chicken and ribs dinner with strawberry cheese cake dessert for a crowd
who had worked up a really powerful appetite after having spent the day
outside in very cold and very windy conditions. Overall I would say that
this year's DAC ice race event went very smoothly with the exception of
probably the worst incident - a 5 car pileup - that I have ever seen -
with no injuries! In fact all but one of the cars returned to racing!

Tech Weekend -
Minden
MR2 passes
tech
inspection
Just a note of
thanks to DAC members Mr. and Mrs.
Nilson for doing tech in Minden for
the ice race series this past
weekend. Mike has indeed taken over
the tech insp. directors position
for the season. I hauled up my
Toyota MR2 on Sunday having opted
not to drive in the snow storm
Saturday, by the sounds of it from
others who hauled up Saturday, it
was a good call. I arrived around
11:30am after first dropping by the
car wash on hwy 35 at the north end
of town to clean out the road salt
and sand. The weather was a cold
-18C at noon when tech opened but
clear and sunny. The track was being
flooded with the truck driven by
Andy Hughes and the surface looks
beautiful (see photo in right side
bar). Andy has said there are over
140 truckloads of water that have
been laid down so far. We will need
more height to the snow banks before
we can race this coming weekend so it looks like it may
have to be trucked in unless we get
a large snowfall soon. I also went
up to Tom's gravel pit and was able
to easily drag out my tool trailer
from about 5 inches of fairly fluffy
snow and moved it to the track.
There were about 30 cars lined up
along the west end of the
fairgrounds when I left around 2 pm
Sunday.
Fish huts on
Gull Lake
On the way home I
stopped by Gull Lake to take a photo
of the ice fishing huts at Miner's
Bay. It's been some time since I've
seen that many out there at this
time of the year and I can't ever
remember seeing vehicles
accompanying them but I counted
three out on the ice.
