) There is early arrival the day before our event between 6 and 9 PM only.
2) The paddocks are paved, but no garages or hookups.
3) Camping is allowed, but there are no hookups or facilities near the camp grounds.
4) There is no speed limit on track. This is a rumor from the initial lapping days that had a pace car. We're not doing this. The Porsche and Lamborghini clubs hit 250 KM/H, see if you can beat it and stay on track.
5) There is a noise limit of 104 dB at 3 meters and 92 db at 20 meters. ALL cars are tested in the morning. You will not be allowed on track if you fail. If you pass Lime Rock, chances are you'll pass Calabogie.
6) There is a fluid shed for oil, antifreeze, and brake disposables.
7) There are no concession/gift shop/food places at the track. There are plenty just outside the track.

Read the track guide. It may help you prepare for the 20 turns.

The track also advises one uses the GPS coordinates for finding the track, as most GPS Nav systems can't find it reliably by city and zipcode.

This track looks awesome, let's enjoy it!
THANKS GUYS!!!
Now... who is going besides Will, Bruce (sitting in as Chief Instructor) and Me???

I will be there. Arriving after midnight direct from a horse show in Springfield, MA. I have no idea where I will be staying, Raj sent me a couple of places, but they seem out of my price range!

You can't beat a tent for low cost accomodations!

I hear that! I guess I will have to sleep in the car outside the track until it opens on Monday morning. Won't mind camping once I actually get in.

I'll be there. A tent in Ottawa in May sounds cold, but that's probably where I'll be staying.

Thanks Mark. That isn't too bad! I think my psyche will be much better off in a motel!

Shawn - I need to get your tools to you. Called one # and got your daughters cell. How about KB Performance Saturday around 930?

Sam,

That's my cell phone with my daughter's voice because I havn't yet figured out how to manage through the menus. She has mastered them a long time ago. I'll be in NY Saturday, but you can drop them off at 33 Orchard Street or email me your address and I will come by and pick them up.

I made reservations at the Calabogie Motor Inn, but they are full on Sunday night. I guess one night at the track will be liveable. Jocko's is booked Sat - Wed. Sounds like a great turn out!!

There's a Quality Inn in Arnpoir, ONT which I booked serveral weeks ago for C$97.60/night. You can book at 800-424-6423, or call the hotel directly at 613-623-7991. Shouldn't be too far from the track according to the map, but I haven't checked it on the GPS (cause I don't have one). :roll:

See you all at the track,
Dennis
Sad to see my SSB 2001 Miata go.
