Next time you head up there stop in the town of Arinprior and go get fries at Wes' Chips on the main drag across from Tims. |
I'll have to look for those fries.
As I was watching some of the other groups, I had a chace to talk to a family from Renfrew (sp) who came down to watch on Sunday. Real friendly folks who asked all sorts of questions about the track and seemed to think it was pretty cool. When I mentioned how much I (and others) liked the track they absolutely beemed with Canadian pride.
They also mentioned the noise complaints, but said that personally they were surprise how quite we were (I guess in comparison with the complaints).
