[Fot] The Kastner Cup at Mosport

[DAVE HOGYE]

Thanks for the report, Chuck.
Congratulations to Bob Lang.  Well deserved.  All ways in in the hunt towards the front.  
I'll look forward to some videos.
Best,
Dave H.

My car worked very well all weekend with just a couple of minor issues that were easily fixed.  I never even had to add oil or water the whole time.  Crazy.  Just A LOT of gas.

I felt like I was doing pretty good most of the weekend, but Henry still turned a lap 3 seconds faster than my best time.  I could never really get comfortable going into turn 2.  I even tried just closing my eyes and hoping for the best, but that didn’t work either.  I’m thinking I only achieved 2 3/4 testicles rather than a full 3.

> 
> - A big thanks to Henry Frye for organizing this one.  I always wanted to race at Mosport and he gave me the reason to finally do it.  I truly appreciate your efforts and your friendship Henry.
