When will I get to drive my race car again???


Last Friday, my men’s team won game 2 of our playoff series. I didn’t play a great game offensively, but I contributed on defence. Winner take all this Friday evening!

I was back at the track yet again Saturday instructing with the BMW Club of Quebec. Again, I had no car. The Civic was almost ready, but I did not have my new header yet, so Pat could not complete the job.  I did get to go out for a few minutes in Amélie’s nicely modified E36 M3. I forgot to shut off the traction control, so I was not as “quick” as I might have been. I did get to enjoy several laps chasing and being chased by a Porsche Cayman R. There were some pretty nice cars there, including a very rare Porsche 911 GT3 4.0.

Alex and I dropped by Rob’s place and it was a good opportunity to photograph our cars, as they were all clean at the same time.

On Monday, it was back to St-Eustache for ASE’s lapping night. Sadly, I still did not have a car. AARRGHHH! There were some neat cars on hand, as usual.

I should have my Civic back tomorrow. There is a time attack at St-Eustache Monday and I REALLY want to be in it! Also, Jam and Pierre may borrow the car for the road race being held the same day. If all goes well with the car, I will probably enter the Spring Classic at Tremblant the following weekend. Stay tuned!
