But it's just not the same any more...matters have been settled...to go on about it would be rather pointless...and yet it's become just something I do periodically...

So this year again I had a long hard look at the rear ends...of the race cars at Mosport. There was a pair of Acuras in GTS, bottom of the class, and never did I see them lift a rear wheel, and I tried hard. Now I only saw them in corners 9, 10, 1, 2 and 3, but nary a rear wheel in the air. There was also a Castrol Ontario Touring car race, with 31 cars running and 15 of them powered by Honda (tells you something). And those too virtually never lifted a wheel, except Whitmer in the very fast Lombardi sponsored Civic Si, but that was only cause he was riding the inside curb of turn two trying endlessly to get past the Bimmer coupe in first place. So perhaps some things are a thing of the past, like inside rear lift. There were actually two WC races and two Castrol races, so I got a chance to watch them twice. Of course you could tell there wasn't too much weight there, but the 3 legged dogs have all gone home. He He! I even took pictures.

Scott, who wants to know more than he's likely to find out..........but that's ok too...
