RE: Merging onto an Interstate
Actually, the key word is yield. That's the law in most states...and most drivers fail to yield when they enter the highway.
Perhaps a lot of the problem is that this is law in a lot of the states like you say but many and where I come from both drivers SHARE the right of way. It's up to the driver in the right lane to either move over (if possible) or make room for the driver merging. It's up to the driver merging to move into that gap. If we are required to yield right of way than to merge then there will be a Yield sign.
Unfortunately.... there are many here who cannot grasp this concept where they will either refuse to let someone merge or will stop on the onramp piling up traffic behind them.

RE: Danica on the pole for Daytona 500
There really is something to the adage on qualifying on a restricter plate track that it's 15% driver and 85% car.... I think the credit should be more on the the team than driver.
Had David Reutimann been in the car.... would he have gotten the same attention?
The truth will come out on race day when the big dogs will be out there to play!

RE: Banff/ Lake Louise Parkway travel ban
Hi,
That leaves only the Casino to boondock at.
The Nakoda Lodge had a relatively large fire this winter. Not sure if the casino burnt but they did lose the restaurant I believe.
There was no fire at the Casino. The fire you're refering to was at the Chief Chiniki restaurant a few miles east of the Casino.

RE: Tailgate issues on truck.
Tailgates are a hot item as well as airbags and diesel catalytic converters.
The thieves will often sell them to unscrupulous autobody shops for cheap who in turn will sell them back to you.

RE: Ever suggest a restaurant for Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives
I've been to a couple of the places too and wasn't impressed.... The show is nothing more than advertisements likely paid for by the restaurants he hypes....

RE: Dumb Winterizing Question
So what about the residual water from the fresh tank to the pump...thru the pump... to the junction where the city and pump line join. I suppose you still put a little pink AF in the fresh tank and pull it thru, then do the blow out?
Personaly, instead of the adapter, I made a hose that I also use when I blow out my sprinklers.
What I do is let the pump suck the lines dry from the fresh water tank and then suck some of the pink stuff into the pump from the winterizing valve to push out any water that may remain in the pump that can't be blown out.

RE: Chris Economaki
I had the honour of meeting Chris in 1993 at a car show here in Calgary.
It was Chris who instigated the conversation with me asking about our local track and what we ran. (I was in CASCAR Street Stocks at the time) The conversation was only about 5 minutes where he asked about the track, what were the classes and what engines we ran. I could see it in his eyes he was genuinely interested in what we had in Canada. As he left his companion smiled and said "Chris loves all types of racing."
RIP Chris and thank you

RE: montana high country
Part of the deal when we purchased the HC was the tires were changed out to BFG Commercial T/A's. I'm happy with these tires...
What size and load range tires are these? I'm running 235/80 R16, load range E tires.
LT 235/85 R16 load range E.
There is a recall on these tires which were produced between April 2010 and July 2012. I checked mine and have different DOT codes.

RE: montana high country
The main slide, which is the heaviest, has not been adjusted right since day one. The dealer tried and was not successful in fixing this. I worked on it a bit and improved it ,but am still not happy with it.
We have 2012 343RL and had the same issue with the main slide where a dealer TRIED to adjust it under warranty but made it worse...
Long story short... I got a mobile guy in and he adjusted the slide in about 10 minutes where it's much better now...
Had the usual minor problems but are overall quite happy with the HC.
Keystone service has been excellent.

RE: The train now standing .........
Are the doubles legal in BC ? I am 68 1/2 ft. I tow 2 bumper pulls. Legal in more states in US than most would like to believe.
No they are not allowed in BC.
This footnote is printed within the towing laws.... By this it says the trailer must be a 5th wheel in Saskatchewan too.
43 With certain qualifications. Only with fifth-wheel
trailer in AZ, IL, MI, MN, MB (maximum length 23 m.), SK and YT.
They are legal in Sask. I have asked at SGI which is the authority on what is and isn't
legal in our province.
Anyway just to let everyone know we made it up here after a 10hr drive. Every
thing held together except our outboard went south after the second day.
Good to know... Thanks for the clarification... ENJOY the trip...

RE: Allmendinger
I'm not going to judge until I find out what the substance was. It might be "illegal" to NASCAR but might not be illegal in the eyes of the law.
I agree... There are medications out there that will cause a false positive.
Mayfield counted on over the counter med's to be his scapegoat for his methamphetamine addiction. The process know's that this will be the first thing declared at the top of the druggies lungs and is prepared to weed that excuse out.
What I was saying was lets not judge before the facts are out. If it turns out he was using.... I have no sympathy where he will get what he deserves... Until then we shouldn't put the executioner before the jury...

RE: Dale Jr.
Me, I believe that crewchief Steve Letarte stayed busy all winter, learned a few things, and also worked out a better language with Jr, and now they're on their way to a possible championship. We'll see.
I agree... Jr has never been that good at communicating what to do with the car. It seems Steve has adapted to that and is working well with Jr.
I don't see him as the Champion though... We'll see if Junior can keep up with the pressure of staying on top of the chase. Being consistant at the beginning of the season is a whole different ball game.
Good to see Jr win one after all this time. I'm happy he finally got the monkey off his back.

RE: Nascar
Thank goodness for DVR's. Course you have to wait half way through the race to start watching it but its worth it to miss the mindless Danica commercials.

RE: NASCAR
I think that if a driver no matter who he is has a mishap of any kind that the reporters should give them a 30 minute cool down period and let the drivers go to their haulers before interviewing them.
I agree..... I've felt the same way for a long time..... but an emotionally charged interview is better for ratings. ;)
