It was a rainy day in Pizzaville.......

and Virginia International Raceway, to say the least. Seems we were on the edge of a tropical storm, verging on a hurricane. Three days of rain, wind and fog. Regardless, SVRA pulled off another successful event even in the face of adversity. On Friday night a great time was had at the Oak Tree Plantation House. Many dressed in the attire of the day as Southern gentlemen and ladies (pictures to be added).

Monday we left for a two week re and re at North Myrtle Beach. Once again, as last year, right in the middle of Bike Week. The sights are somewht interesting but the sound of unmuffled Harleys can soon get on your nerves.

On a more personal note, our son Ian, left for Ireland on the 29th of September to be reunited with his new bride and off to a honeymoon in Paris France. If you remember, Ian and Eileen were married on the 2nd of May and on the 4th she was on her way back to Ireland as per the conditions of her one year work visa. The immigration process is well underway and hopefully we will see her back in Canada shortly after the new year, permanently.







Ryanair from Ireland to Paris. Ian forwarded this photo but I am not sure whether it was taken by Ian or Eileen. Both are very proficient with a camera.

This is taken from their condo in Paris. If memory serves, it was about $500.00 Cdn per week and is in the heart of the city. Cool!!!!!
















Not very spacious by our standards but very acceptable by Euro standards.








Eileen at the window. Computer included I guess as I hardly believe that Ian or Eileen would have dragged theirs from home.

Anyway, we are here in North Myrtle for two weeks then it is off to Road Atlanta for our final race of the season. Next years schedule has been tentatively released and we have an additional event at Moroso. This brings us up to nine events......busy season coming up.
