I fixed the problem from CTMP - fractured rod in camshaft that holds ignition rotor in place. Ewan can't make it, so I will be driving with Sandra in the chair.

I was lucky to earn my driver's privileges on the F1 last weekend at Summit Point as it came in handy this weekend. However as Steve said when he drove my rig at Loudon, vintage and F1 both have 2 people and 3 wheels but are very much different beasts. Ewan and I changed places for the Sunday practi...

I was at Loudon, June 14 – 16 for the Festival of Sidecars. It was my first visit to the track. The weather was great and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It is a very busy track and hard work on a sidecar. I was passenger on the F1 and took my vintage rig. Ewan could not make the trip so I asked Steve,...

I read the policy and it specifically excludes "riding or driving in any kind of competition" - page 12. The hazardous sports option includes riding a motorcycle. Thanks for the info but I would not be willing to race under this policy.

Ingle Insurance cannot provide medical insurance for motorsports at this time. Does anyone know of any other suppliers of medical insurance for motorsports?

I apologize for not submitting a report for the latest Baffled Muffler. I had to deal with a serious family issue which has taken and still is taking a lot of my time. My report will be posted in the member's only section before the long weekend.

The VRRA will accept any valid 2013 Canadian or US racing licence for our events this year. Riders who do not have a valid 2013 licence will have to buy a one event membership. Unless you have a 2013 RACE licence you will still have to pay the $15 insurance fee at registration.

It was just posted in the Bulletin Board along with an explanation for the delay. The number of topics is less than past years but each will require considerable discussion.

If you cannot attend the 2012 AGM and would like to have someone vote on your behalf, download the proxy form, complete and sign and give it to your designate to take to the AGM. http://www.vrra.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/Proxy-Form-12.pdf

We have received several names for the various awards. As expected some of the names were not on our list but very worthy of consideration. If you would like to propose other names there is still time. Please send to me or any other exec member.

I will be writing the agenda shortly. It will follow the same format as last year. If you have a topic that you wish to have on the agenda, to present or raise for discussion, post it here or send it to me directly. When the agenda is finalized it will be posted in the members only area.

I am trying something different this year by asking for input from our members for the AGM awards. If you know of a rider or member who would be a worthy recipient for any of the following awards, please let one of the exec know. The executive will make the final decisions. Generally we go with thre...

As announced at the July 14 rider's meeting, each team that entered the 2012 TT endurance race will receive a 50% credit towards the 2012 Mosport endurance race. There is a line for this credit on the endurance entry form. The credit is not applicable to any other fees.

The rule changes were posted on the Bulletin Board (members only forum) in mid February. Several of the proposals were discussed in depth on that forum. Since these changes, if accepted, will take effect for the 2012 season it is reasonable to restrict voting to 2012 members. This requirement is on ...

The Baffled Muffler has been sent to the publisher and should be in the mail soon. I asked that it be delayed for 2 weeks to provide an update on the status of the Treasurer's position. Janet is still our Treasurer. The rule change proposals and ballot will be included with this issue. Thanks Jan an...
