From FSRA-Agape |
On March 15, 2010 the FSRA was officially recognized as a patron of Agapé Hospice on their sponsor “butterfly board”.
Upon arrival we were met by Elva Jolly and Colleen Clancy and treated to coffee and doughnuts.
Trevor Landage, Don Keith, Gary Savage and Doug Wozak were in attendance for the Foothills club.
Elva and Colleen escorted us on a full tour of hospice facilities and grounds.
We learned of hospice background and improvement projects to date, plus future plans geared to heighten hospice awareness.
As always, FSRA’s support continues to be graciously appreciated by our friends at Agape!

FSRA Voluntary Safety Inspection
Wednesday, March 10th, 2010Foothills will be holding a spring Safety Lane for club members in April one day prior to Spring Thaw.
Date: April 17, 2010
Location: Zeebs Performance Restoration on Rainbow Road
Inspectors: Jacques Berube and Chuck Dykstra
The FSRA safety Inspection event is a yearly opportunity for club members to go over their cars with an “extra set of eyes” to look for potential problems. Chuck and Jacques base their inspections on the NSRA’s “Safety 23″ program, in which they are both fully qualified. The inspection is of an advisory nature and is intended to allow owners to participate and become more aware of their cars build, wear, and performance, all with safety in mind.
GOFERS March meet
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010Video by Jeff Smith from the March Meet. Thanks Jeff !
Graham Cannonball Cannon, wins again although the inspections committee is discussing possible disqualification due to illegal axle configuration. Second place to Barry, “I can’t drift this POS” Klassen. Third to Greg “Eat My Panties” Peckham. Fourth to “Slow Poke” Peter Trim. And sadly last place to Craig “WTF is going on with my Steering” Trim. Craig hit the ditch about 60 feet from the start when his new elegant rail made an unexpected right hander into the rhubarb.
In other highlights, Peter trim showed up with a new sled, still having trouble with lubrication of the driveline…..but when you are over 60, I have heard that this is a common problem.
Barry Klassen flipped his ride at the end of the first race becoming the first “GOFER” to shed some blood. This incident was the result of a failed attempt to drift his POS at the end of the course, but she hooked causing him to do a triple axel, as seen at the Olympic free skate. Graham Cannon, and Greg Peckham were within close proximity and give it a 7 out of 10 for the dismount.
Not sure what happened with the Siewert racing stable, both Dirty Don Siewert and Rob “left turn” Siewert were nowhere to be found during this race weekend. More than likely scared to compete and have probably moved back to the powder puff derby.
Stay tuned for announcement of the April meet.
