I give you: UTV Racing!!!


I remember going to a race once... and being the ONLY chinese person there [let alone a chinese, little girl]. I somehow still blended in better than some of my friends who went. :lol:

Best I've ever been too... and regret not bringing my camera for it: School bus racing. It's the most epic, colourful and insane thing ever. Especially when they're turning the corner, because they're so huge, slip and land on their side and drift till they hit a wall. absolutely amazing!


There's still 2 rounds of Regional motorcycle roadracing, at Shannonville east of Belleville, coming up on the first and fourth weekends of September ;)

Are the hockey players big drinkers/smokers? Up until only 15 years ago English football (soccer) players were part of a culture of drinking/smoking/partying. It's only recently that managers started to forbid this lifestyle. Many of our greats like George Best and Paul Gascoigne saw briliant careers ruined short due to a lifetime of booze, birds (the female species) and fags (the ones with tobacco)

For the level of fitness required for Hockey (no offense soccer folks but there's no argument to convince me soccer is nearly as intense as Hockey) I would say no.

I think it will be the stress of playing at the centre of Hockey universe that will age Dion, and others. Possibly give Burke a heart attack. Playing for the Leafs puts a player in the toughest media scrum in all of sports. Unless you're a mega star golf player that got caught nailing a bunch of pornstars, that media scrum might be more intense.

As long as they play to expectations, they should be fine. We were booing them out of town last Tuesday with that terrible performance against Ottawa :x

Sorry. Double post. Anyway, most of them seem to be playing to expectations, except maybe Kadri and Mitchell :(

If this roster makes the playoffs they'd be fodder for the opposing first round team.

This one was a complete accident, but I kind of like the effect and may try to use it more in the future
