Any other Saskatchewan Opponauts interested in going? Because I’m going to be hauling ass in the Jolly Rancher, cheap tires be damned.

Why do I have to live in the middle of nowhere?

Hey man, I've got to drive two hours to Regina as well. And I'm certain you're pulling my leg.

Why is there a town called medicine hat?

Saw your post from yesterday - I’m sorry.

But good on you for doing something for yourself. When I got out of my longest/most formative relationship (before my current one) pretty much all I did was mope around and drink. For 2 years. I wish I’d done something different with that time.

Burned rubber has to make things better, right?

Well, you also have Dildo Nfld. , Snowball Ont., and all sorts of other names. To answer, I haven’t a clue.

I figure she made me a better person over the last four years, I might as well try to keep that trend going.

I thought it was a name from the Blackfoot tribe, I was right. The Blackfoot territory ranged from what is now Canada (BC and alberta) all the way down the rocky mountain front into what is now central Montana, I know several people who have relatives in Canada, I don’t think anybody took the border seriously until the early 1900's.

“ The city of Medicine Hat got its name from the Blackfoot term Saamis, which refers to the headdress of eagle feather worn by a medicine man. ... It was also the location of the future town of Medicine Hat .”

My car wouldn't pass tech inspection without some work. My helmet doesn't meet spec, so I'd have to spend money on a new one. So probably not competing but if Dash or other Oppos are going, I could drive down for a meet and watch the event.

My friend moved there.  There is no reason a town should be there

I’ve got a few chips in the windshield but nothing major, but that’s my main concern.

It’s not that  silly a name. It’s no Moose Factory.

Ive got no battery tie down and the car is still full of spare parts 

CB > Longtime Lurker 06/03/2019 at 14:42

So what you're saying is you go before me for tech inspections?

Balls Falls, ON & Punkeydoodles Corners, ON

So your car will look better by comparison?

Bingo.

This will help your outlook 1000%.

When I parted ways with someone a few years ago, a weight lifted from my back that I can still feel. Single ain’t all bad, more time and money for your own fun!

I doubt either of my cars would be suitable for this kind of thing though.

Most groups have loaner helmets.

Nothing maniacal laughter with 5000rpm clutch dump, resulting in a smoke show can’t fix.

It's going to be lonely, but I'll manage.

Might not fix a broken clutch.

One dump won’t kill it. The amount of abuse mine as taken it’s holding up well. Clutches are more easy to fix then broken hearts.

Yep. Did the same thing a while back. Entered into rallycross in a different state and just fucking sent it. Have fun!

Because the taxman would find you everywhere else

If someone in Alberta can  autocross a 220D W115 (maybe 60hp new), you could autocross too.

Fun stuff.  I suspect the fintail could beat it (with a good driver, not saying that’s me), but it would be pissed if driven too hard, I can imagine it smoking like the Alpine/Tiger (?) in the main pic here.

How much does this cost and would I need to pre-register?

CB > Longtime Lurker 06/05/2019 at 13:03

$50, and I'll let you know.

Doesn’t look like you need to pre-register. Hope to see you tomorrow!

I cleaned out the car and bungeed the battery down. After looking up your helmet post, I have the same likelihood of getting mine through inspection as you do. So see you tomorrow.

Groovy. I’ll be borrowing a helmet as well. If it goes well, maybe I’ll invest in one.
