Bryan Heitkotter just won STU in his 350Z ... to add to his collection of championships.

I just checked through the past results, and Bryan has 7 championships in 7 different classes, only 3 times did he go and not win.  Now that is what an alien does here on Earth.

Tomorrow (Thursday), Julie T. will be running her silver Miata in ES in the 2nd heat of the east course (west course on Friday).

CSP is running first heat on the east course with Neal Tovsen in his blue Miata with Todd Cochrane of Minneapolis ... Neal has, of course, been many times to Calgary/Fort Macleod to teach the SoloPro Schools.

Eric Peterson, who has not been here before, but taught with him in Florida a few years ago in a SoloPro School is running in ES in his MR2 with his wife, Christina (ESL).

STR is going to be a heck of a battle and will be interesting to see how Ron Bauer does with that new Miata.  He broke a few parts ( 1/2 axle and the ring/pinion bolts came loose ... strange one that) during the Pro.  Kevin Dietz and James Yom will be a couple of people to watch as well as Ricky Crow and a bunch of others ... fairly deep class.

Mr. Dennis Healy will be in ESP in his Mustang from Portland (originally S. Ontario).

Dean Chen and Nicola Chu from Vancouver have their S2000CR in there as well.

BSL - Dina O'Donnell (originally from Victoria .. now TO) is there.

AM and XP are always interesting classes to follow.  AM runs first thing on the east tomorrow.  Be interesting to see how well KJ does against Dan Washdahl (the old Phantom but highly modified since).  KJ has done a LOT of work to that car and it is very much faster now and is regularly at the top of the PAX ladder in LA which should mean that it will be competitive.  Marshall Grice has been co-driving with KJ and been beating him so maybe Marshall will take the AM title?  But, Dan has won it every year he has shown up since he bought and modified the old Phantom.
 

Tonight there is the banquet at the Lincoln Center on the east side of town and where trophies will be presented and you will be able to buy event photos from Rupert Berrington there as well.

And more than once in a car that is not supposed to be competitive in the class!   That's the really crazy part!  hahahaha

People walking course, sun is out ... in the words of Jackie Stewart:  "It is a fine day for a motor car race!"

Sololive is up again and you can see results ... or most of them .... think they are coming up little by little ... the timing ticker is still not working ... probably shortly.   Sololive had not worked all morning for some reason.
