Clark's Turbine Tech Session, March 27th

Hello All,
You are invited to tour the Bearskin Airlines Turbine Shop for an up-close look at how a gas turbine engine operates... Given that we are a Vintage Sports Car Club special emphasis will be on a very special engine, the Pratt and Whitney Canada PT6 free turbine engine as used in the 1967 and '68 Indy STP car. Little do people remember that Pratt and Whitney Canada participated in auto racing! A scale model of the car will be on hand to better relate how this engineering marvel powered this car to lead for the majority of both Indy 500 races...

Given that the Tour will take place in a working airline hanger all participants are asked to meet first at Clark's garage at 743 Porcupine Blvd. at 1pm, park there, and then car pool to Bearskin to stay together as a group on Sunday 27th of March. The tour should be over at approx: 3pm. Best Regards, Clark.

Any one wishing to have a bite to eat before the tour can meet us at Boston Pizza on Arthur at 11.45am.

Chilli Buns Tour

The Annual Chili Buns tour is set for February 20th.  We will be meeting at the Tim Horton's on the corner of Oliver and Golflinks Rd. at 12:30pm, with cars leaving at 1:00pm.  The drive should be about 2 hrs, ending at This Old Barn on Oliver Rd. for a bite to eat.  This is a leisurely drive through the countryside with a trivia quiz to provide a bit of fun along the way.
