 Full house for our January Social at the Mimico Crusing Club
Tom Hnatiw ( it's pronounced NA-choo), writer, broadcaster, producer, and automotive television show host was the guest speaker at the January 2012 Social. According to Tom's wife, this is the fifth time that he has spoken at a UCR Social. The title of his multi-threaded talk was "Substantiated Racing", ie, racing made relevant. A subtopic was "Sustainable Racing". I have to admit, that I never thought I would hear those two words in the same sentence. Sustainable racing has nothing to do with the eco system, but is about saving racing from extinction.

Freeze and Free

Some months ago I spotted an interesting new product in an automotive supply. To protect the innocent (me), I shall call it freeze and free, although this is not its real name. What it is, is penetrating oil combined with a refrigerant. You spray it on the stud, or nut. The refrigerant evaporates and cools the stud or nut to -45 degrees. The part shrinks, and the oil is pulled in by capillary action. As I had no immediate need for it, and my garage is already too cluttered, I did not buy it, but did put it on my mental "must buy" list.
