Calabogie - Ottawa Citizen Gentleman's GT Race Series

[ZOO]

Alright guys! Just over a week until the next race!! Who's in!?

I just added Mani, Ralf, and Erwan!

There are a couple more interested parties so get in quick! These are "not-to-be-missed" events!

I'm thinking of bringing my Miata -- I just don't know if I can turn a fast enough lap in the Miata to qualify

You'll probably run 1:27-1:30 in the Miata you'll be good. There are battles to be had at all positions!

Rob, wouldn't the M3 be a better option? either way you should do it, James is right after watching his video i can't wait to try it.

Or bring the Lotus all good, just don't leave Klaus on your bumper LOL

Someone once told me, "If you want to pass someone, let your intentions be known".
But you are safe, I wont be able to do the next event, have to work.

Btw, I am working at the Calabogie Peaks (Skihill), getting ready with the first Calabogie Bluesfest!! Aug 12 -14 http://calabogieblues.com/
Stop by on the weekend, its promising to be a great festival for the whole family.

Ummmm ... are you serious? you actually win some cash in these? I'm jelly.

[wing]

Well it's "Bogie bucks" good for lapping. So not cash but for us it's pretty much the same.

Ahh ok, but still, some return for "fun" is definitely the right way to attract some competitors! I wish some ahem, "pro" series would take the hint

Fantastic event, loved the short track format, great driving James and Greg, man you guys were fast.
BTW James where your lap times faster than your first event?

[wing]

No but they were close. My best time was a 1:21.9 first event my best was a 1:21.0 During the race I didn't look every lap, and I haven't downloaded yet, but I was running 1:22's for a bit then I slowed up and ran 1:24's a bit once I had enough of a lead. In the first race I ran 1:21.5 every single lap trying to catch Klaus.

[gchislett]

The K-Man would have schooled us all in the rain, me thinks.

[wing]

Would have been nice to have radio from pit wall. I had no idea what kind of lead I had. My friend said I was up about 10 seconds on Greg, I could have let off some.

Apparently it was a good race to watch, me then Greg then he said about 20 seconds down the road was the entire pack battling it out.
