Just a heads up for those planning to drive up from Washington State, the Black Ball ferry will not be running.

Just in case you were not aware of this.

.... so just so that I am reading Canadian correctly, this says there will "not" be a 2p boat sailing. It will be most important to make the 1p!!!

Neil, I heard it on the Q. Ironically the Q gets better reception in Edmonds then I get from Seattle. Go figure. Blackball won't be running. Dock work!

If anyone needs any Slapmaster products feel free to drop me a PM. Don't liter this thread.

Somebody PM'ed me in the funkiest form ever, I can't get back to the message. They want to know a starting point for a GenX WC for stripes. You are going to be very bummed to hear this, but build the kit box stock. Add only tall ball studs to the rear of the shock and to the steering arms.
5* caster block, 1 shim forward
3/4* camber
-1/2* toe out/side
-1.5mm rear droop.
battery forward.
20k tubes
25wt center oil
3/4 sauce fronts, full rear.

Box stock!

a lot of us are running much stiffer than 20k lube in our tubes. I think blake and craig had 30k in their tubes. ive personally been running 60 in one 20-30 in the other. 55 rear springs, 10degree blocks and otherwise box stock alteredego-WC for me.
stripes just mean i dont really touch the car a whole lot from club race to club race heh.

Hey Brian,

You are correct. That tricky wording means there is no 2PM sailing this Friday.

The doors open at 3PM, so the 1PM sailing is ideal.

Hey Tim (and others),

If you supplied an email address when initially registering then you can go to the login page and click "Forgot Password". WCICS will send you a new password. Then you can login and manage your registered classes.

If that fails, let me know and I'll get you squared away.

Thanks,
Blake

Initial rollout at 68mm, Franko.

That's a 37t or 38t pinion by my math. Season to taste.
