Thank you for whomever offered the rims and tires for my Deman, but I'm not in this to win anything, just to get some experience and drive my car, since it isn't on the road yet, if ever. I'll be there Saturday and Sunday only.

You should take Bill up on his offer:

1) Great guy and even better driver
2) You'll learn from riding with him in your car
3) He'll give you feedback about your driving
4) You'll love the grip his tires offer
5) He may make your car a winner and 1-4 may lead your surprising yourself at the end of the day

Just me 2 cents.

I agree, co-driving with Bill ( although I have never had the opportunity) is an added value.

He won't be there Friday for the test and tune and as Carl replied to me, there are no ride alongs during race day...

Guten abend!

Just a heads up ... Eric et. al. did a very good job at convincing me to register for CAC2010 - so I did! Looking forward to racing and having a couple beers during the evening!

Not sure I classed myself right though. I entered A-Stock with my 2010 Impreza STI (2 prep points with my sway bars). Would I be eligible for, and if so would I want to be in, STE?

Cheers,

Jordan

p.s. Is there a way for rookies to get in on some of this sweet spooning action that I've been hearing about? I'm assuming I have to be small spoon as a first timer?

Anyone know where there is camping nearby? Or at least a hotel/motel that would accept a little fluffy white, hypoallergenic dog?
Thanks!

You are in AS. STE is for unlimited prep on street tires.

too bad the regisration list didn't show what club they were representing

if the mco peeps actually wanted to target regional hardware, there's no doubt in my mind that it could be taken and brought back to the capital region

anyhow.. hope you guys bend them over!!!


tell Kevin to share his mojo juice

I'm going to give it the college try. LOL. I'm actually hoping to bring 2 sets of tires. The worn R-S3s for dry and the new ones should it be wet. Thanks to Christian for his rims. Just need to arrange wheel transport... oh Shawn!!!

Sadly nothing new in the go fast dept: thought I'd get a place at the big kids table and see what scraps fall off. 8-)
Can I borrow your wing, turbo and some duct tape? I need 16 points to git legit for D mod.

Depends when I can get out of work on Friday. Likely late afternoon.

What's the best route to get to St. Eustache? Take the 417 Ontario side or do the 148 Quebec side?

I personally like taking the 417 and crossing over in Hawkesbury and going from there; little traffic and pretty quick

I'll be leaving the Ottawa area around 11:30 or so...

I'll be leaving in the morning aswell. I'll be taking the 417 to Hawkesbury, then the new 50 to Lachute, then down to St Mustache. Hoping to leave and be fully on the road at 11:-11:30ish possibly earlier.

Anyone wants to tag along, PM me. I'll be doing a quick grocery stop on the way in QC somewhere- ;)
