IMSA Indy Test
Porsche Penske Motorsports – Porsche 963
Testing is an essential part of auto racing, and there are many reasons why teams do it. Baring any unforeseen problems, most testing is done in the off season. However if you are moving to new equipment, and it is late in arriving, you could find yourself behind the eight ball compared to other teams.
But these are not the only reasons for testing, and…

Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Giacum “Jake” Frei, head information and founder of Skeena Heliskiing, pulls a rusty spike from his pocket, loops a tail of fluorescent flagging tape around it, then tosses it out the window. Roy circles back and this time, utilizing solely the nail for orientation in an in any other case complete whiteout, manages to touch one skid down, just long sufficient for Frei to hop out. We use B2 helicopters as they permit us to entry one of the best of our terrain and better cater to our smaller teams.

Both Bell 2 Lodge and Ripley Creek supply superior and challenging heli skiing terrain both in and out of the trees. Ripley Creek does not have as much quick access to mellow terrain as Bell 2.
If you might be then you’ll be rewarded a scorching tub underneath the celebs to appease your muscles on the finish of each day and full gourmet meals to gasoline you for the next one. The helicopter, considered one of three running a heli-skiing operation in the mountainous area, had seven individuals on board, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) mentioned in an announcement on Tuesday. Place the word ‘heli’ before any outside pursuit, and it immediately becomes extra enjoyable. I as soon as took a heli-yoga class on a mountain in the Rockies, however breathing in every pose was difficult as a result of the view was breathtaking. I’ve heli-swum in alpine lakes you’d need days to hike to, and now in Northern B.C., we are ready to add heli-fishing to the listing.
Ainsworth was amongst these taken to hospital, but household and pals in his residence country of New Zealand say he has since died of his accidents. Heli skiing Tours is situated removed from odd, however near to a small, quiet airport within the Northern BC town of Smithers, just a 1.5 hours flight from Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

The ski boot/binding system isn't any assure that the skier will not be injured. Heli skiing safety – It’s essential that you learn the below data.

7 Modifications That Won't Void Your '22+ Subaru WRX's Warranty
Car modifications are the easiest ways for car enthusiasts to personalize their rides’ performance and appearance. However, there’s always one fear in their minds, car warranty. The fear is valid as it is necessary to make car modifications that won’t void your warranty, for reasons such as the resale value, maintaining warranty coverage in case of anything, legal implications, and more. But what if we told you that we have warranty-friendly modifications for your ride? You heard that right, various car modifications won’t void your warranty, and in this blog, we are going to share the top 7 warranty-friendly modifications for ’22+ Subaru WRX owners.
1. Michelin Pilot Super Sport Tires
Wheels and tire upgrades are some of the most warranty-friendly upgrades a car owner can do, so it is no surprise that we are recommending them first. We recommend tires by Michelin for your Subaru WRX, the Pilot Super Sport tire. We recommend the tire for 3 reasons;
The tire delivers excellent traction in dry and wet conditions
This tire is great at extreme handling
The tire has outstanding performance capabilities
When you buy this high-performance tire, you will always be track ready and are guaranteed thrilling performance.
2. AMS Performance Mud Flaps
We wouldn’t be recommending good modifications for you if we didn’t recommend things that would protect your ride from road debris and rust. Mud flaps are a great upgrade, especially if you want to take your ride to off-road adventures, mud flaps can be particularly useful in protecting the Subaru WRX from debris and mud when traversing rough terrain and challenging environments. This mud flap kit by AMS Performance is made with high-quality materials, and designed to withstand the toughest road conditions and keep your WRX looking great! WRX + Mud Flaps = RALLY CAR!
Features:
Reduces dings, dents, rock chips, and other paint damage from road debris
Constructed of matte finish abs plastic
The dark grey color matches OEM fenders perfectly
Laser cut 6061 aluminum AMS logo
Mounts in OEM bolt holes with no cutting, trimming, or drilling required
3. License Plate Relocation Kit
The front license plates on your 2022+ Subaru WRX cause a couple of problems;
creates wind resistance
blocks critical airflow to your radiator
and it partially blocks the lower grill
forces you to drill holes in your front bumper
This is why the Mishimoto License Plate Relocation Kit comes in, to solve these problems. Designed specifically for the 2022+ Subaru WRX, this License Plate Relocation Kit is fabricated from high-strength, anodized, and powder-coated 6061 aluminum. Its installation is seamless, and moving the plate to the side and angling to follow the body lines helps reduce wind resistance and free up space in the center to allow critical airflow to reach your radiator. On top of that, it looks better.

5. Dry Carbon J Panel Cover
A Front Racing Tow Hook is a great modification for the track days, but you shouldn’t forget the Dry Carbon J Panel Cover upgrade, as it serves both; aesthetic and functional purposes. Great for improving your ride’s aerodynamics on track, the Dry Carbon J Panel Cover is loved by many Subaru WRX owners for their weight reduction characteristics, and its ability to enhance the visual appeal of the vehicle. While the true function of these pieces can be up for discussion, the upgrade to carbon fiber aesthetically is undeniable.
Features:
Comes with 3M tape for easy installation.

These are covers, NOT full replacements
6. Front Bumper Canards
Since we are on the subject of aerodynamics, we also recommend these Front Bumper Canards as they are perfect when it comes to aerodynamically tuning the handling for the front of a car. If you would love to enjoy your track days with your Subaru WRX, then this upgrade is a must-have as it is vital for racing and high-performance applications. Made of lightweight and durable carbon composites, APR Front Bumper Canards help increase front downforce at high speeds, and in turn, the added downforce stabilizes the car’s chassis during hard cornering and increases traction for faster lap times.
Features:
Carbon Fiber Construction
These APR Front Bumper Canards are made using pre-pregnated carbon fiber manufacturing processes, for high strength and low weight.
UV Resistant Coating
Each APR Front Bumper Canard is made with UV-stable epoxy and clear-coat materials for resistance against fading.

Speed and Sport Shorts: Tough Shots (Eye of the Driver)
This is something I try to do every chance I get. So what makes this a tough shot? First you have to have the right conditions. Most preferred are early morning, or late afternoon. During these times the low sun shines directly in to the car. At these times most drivers tend to have their visor either partially or fully up. Another condition that will offer this kind of shot, is cloudy and heavy…

Guest Review: Code Name Sapphire by Pam Jenoff
Code Name Sapphire
Pam Jenoff
Park Row Pub
Feb 7th, 2023
Code Name Sapphire by Pam Jenoff is the latest of her historical novels. The plot begins in 1942 and revolves around three women, each with a distinctly different personality. The story has love, resilience, complicated family relationships, betrayal, and secrets.
“It is a story of growth. I like writing about women in history. With the war women are challenged, tested, and it is exciting to see their response. There is a wonderful non-fiction book titled The Twentieth Train by Marion Schreiber that has the real-life data. I was so amazed by this. I wondered why more people had not done this.”
The story begins with the Nazis attacking a couple in Germany. Hannah Martel drew satiric anti-Nazi cartoons and her fiancé, Isaac, printed them in his underground Berlin newspaper. Attacked brutally, Isaac dies in Hannah’s hands and begs her to escape. Knowing it is a matter of time until she will be found, Hannah flees for Havana on a ship. As with the MS Saint-Louis the German refugees are not allowed to disembark on Cuba’s shores and the ship is sent back to Europe. Hannah is saved by her cousin Lily because Belgium has a law that accepts refugees if they have a local relative. Lily welcomes her cousin and now lives with the family. But Hannah knows it is a matter of time until her German resistance past catches up with her, so she agrees to work with the Belgian underground in exchange for getting help to travel to England or America.
Readers realize that the three women brought together have their own strengths and weaknesses. Micheline is head of the Sapphire Line resistance network that mainly rescues downed allied pilots and helps them to escape. Lily is reluctant to do anything that might change the status quo of her comfortable life. Each of these women come together as they try to survive the Nazi occupation.
“Hannah and Lily are cousins who have not remained in touch. I wanted to show how their lives went in different directions, but now they are coming back together. Lily is trying to stay uninvolved to keep her family safe. Hannah has been through the worst of circumstances and must re-learn how to trust and depend on others. Micheline is the outlier, a character inspired by the real woman who ran one of escape lines.”
Each woman had their own distinct personalities. “Hannah is solitary, desperate, vulnerable, artistic, independent, brave, headstrong, guilt-ridden, and stubborn.
Lily is calm, likes order, does not like confrontation, sheltered, naïve, kind, and thoughtful.
Micheline: Passionate, a leader, strong, detailed, a planner, blunt, protective, restless, fierce, and combative.”
This story has a lot of suspense and readers will try to understand some of the decisions made that at times seems like a betrayal. The ending twist might throw people for a loop.
