Heh-heh, too funny. Now if you had been doing donuts with the trailer attached, I'd *really* be impressed!

Congrats on a well-deserved 2nd place finish guys!

That would be me. The other car you may noticed with the cover on is my "official" summer toy, a black Vette.

Normally this would be the point when I would suggest attending one of the Motorsport Club of Ottawa's autocross events to see our beasts in action, but sadly the race season is over now. Oh well, next year!

An amusing pic from one of MCO's other autocrosses this year. The course featured a yump with the landing just before a left-hander.

Take a look at the back tire on the far side and you can clearly see that we were catching air there.




Here's a great shot of Christian during the landing. No, his Vette is not *that* low, at least not normally.

I had a great lapping session at Calabogie this evening.
I'm skipping Trianwreck tonight though.
There were 4 Twins there tonight. Good times

Great lapping night tonight. 3 Ultramarine FR-Ss, one BRZ, a fun duel between jvincent and I, not a single yellow flag besides warm up, and a ride in a supercharged Z06.

I'll do some overlay rendering tonight and put some vids up in the Calabogie thread tomorrow.

No rear facing camera though so you won't see me pulling away from you in the straights.

Better winter sizing. Same OEM diameter.
