The official results are now published in HTML and Excel format. The cumulative standings have also been updated in both formats. Finally, the P cars are now back in front and are creeping up the standings amongst the GT cars that shot up there after Round 2.

The cars will be on their way to Edmonton AB this week, as soon as I get the mailing address.

I haven't had the chance to run all the cars (Georges did the Qual and I was at the computer during the race) but they're definitely a great bunch of cars. We had fun running them!

Default Gobsmacked!

That's what I am!

Totally unexpected results: thanks to Christian and the team. Makes me a feel a little bit better: seems like there is at least one track that my cars are a smidgen better (or less bad!) on!

Thanks guys: another great race with superb planning, excecution and communication. To me this exemplifies what proxy racing is all about.

Congrats to all the Podiumites, and the hosts for running the event so well!

As usual, my #6 has managed to go backwards from an average Qualifying position....

More of a concern for me than that is the reports of a performance inhibiting vibration in my entry.

Can someone advise what it is? And what can be done about it?

Or should I not expect much for the rest of the proxy?

Cheers, Tony.

Tony, before I pack the cars to send them off to Edmonton, I will try to repair #40 and look at your #6 entry to see if something can be done (without rebuilding the car).

Thank you Christian, and team! Fantastic job....!

For me the it was a case of more show (qualifying) and less dough (race results).....looking forward to Edmonton, since both my boys were born there and I am STILL an Oiler fan....maybe it brings good Karma!

Thanks, Christian - I appreciate your efforts. I was really surprised to suddenly hear about a vibration in the car - couldn't be those wonderful SCC / CBD wheels; maybe its because I note in your great photos the car has lost an exhaust pipe ( I didn't think it was that finely balanced to begin with ....)

Cheers, Tony.
