CG-Lock Neon wins 2006 Canadian National Championship
Michael Occhipinti took first place at the 2006 ASN Canada FIA
Canadian AutoSlalom Championship. This was Team Neon’s first trip to Canada and it ended with Michael and Derek finishing first and second in the STS class.
Mike & Derek,
Congrats on the win! Fellow macstrut STSer here (2004 Civic backmarker), I’ve been watching your progress with interest as IMHO you’ve got the best prepared macstrut car in STS (big camber, big springs, BFB which I think is the only way). Wondering if this win was on the 225 kooks (pic with both tires up looks like a lot of grip!). I just tried them at the Denver Tour, they have lots more grip than the 205/50 kooks and got me into the trophies. I’ve been keeping quiet about the 225 kook, it just might be the tire that helps the middleweight cars get some advantage. And I think that it’s wide enough that it won’t fit on an Si!!
Hope to meet you at the nationals.
Chris
Hey Guys,
Thanks for making the trip up to the big smoke. Now enough of the pleasantries, where’s the rest of the thousands of pictures you took.. LOL
I was at the Microphone all day, so I didn’t have a chance to enjoy the pleasant scenery as much as you guys.
Share the wealth please..
Thankie.
Chris,
Thanks for the kind words. I am disappointed we didn’t get to meet last year at Nats now!
Joe,
I swear…I am still going to send you an e-mail regarding our trip! I am just lazy, and now I am going away on vacation for a week.
So…when I get back…I owe both of you longer notes! Take care,
-Mike O.
