We decided to celebrate the re-birth of Gordo's track with a W.A.S.T.E.D weekend. Racers from Saskatchewan and British Columbia joined the faithful in
Edmonton, Alberta over the weekend.:canada: No one took anything seriously and we enjoyed a lot of impromptu racing, funny stories, food and the occasional
beverage.

Kerry joined us from the "Island" on the "Wet Coast", and had to put up with the usual, "I can drive faster than you can" abuse. Good thing he has a good sense of humour in addition to his superlative driving skills.

Gordo trying to be Kerry
We had a taste of almost everything on Gordo's newly renovated track and the crowd was sometimes three deep by the track.
Formation Standing
Crashfans
935 Racers vs Fly 935
furry race
1950's Classics
Things started to deteriorate as the the cars started to get a bit more eclectic.
Four wheelin' fun
Little Uglies goin' hard
We took some time to dine before heading over to the magnetic madness of Dave's track.
I'm pretty sure the waitress won't forget us!
Gordo 'splains why he should be able to place his car in front of everyone else
Kerry demonstrates the NASCAR LeMans start
Speeds really started to grow as the usual "mag wars" escalated. Kerry was forced back to the "Dark Side" for the afternoon.
Andy explains how to drive a car made up of only "motor and magnets". Kerry is still trying to lift it off the track.
Many thanks to Gordo and Dave who did a great job hosting the racing. It was great to spend a day around such fun loving guys who share a great hobby.
Cheers,
