CALABOGIE HERE WE COME!!!

[StephanAlfa]

For those crossing NH there is a contingent meeting at the Hookset Rest Area (after the toll booth on 93) at about 8:20 AM on Sunday.

Others will be coming across as we caravan to Canada-land.

Remember to give me a point-by at the border (I have Canadian passport )

Trust you are all set with directions:
get on 89 North to Canadian Border. Last stop for gas in the USA side is Swanton (exit 21 I beleive);
Head for Montreal Hgwy 10 (Eastern Townships - Cantons de L'est in French), head for PONT (Bridge in French) CHAMPLAIN, then head for DORVAL AIRPOT (Hgwy 20 West). Take exit to G+HGWY 13 North and get off at the exit for Hgwy 40 OUEST (West in French) direction Toronto/Ottawa. At the end of Hgwy 40 STAY ON RIGHT to mergo onto Queens Highway 417 to Ottawa.
Then from the horse's mounth (track website):

Bruce,
I think you meant between 7-8 not 6-7. I thought that candy mountain was T7 when I read the description. I assume you mean the straight between candy mountain and temptation.

I'll buy dinner to whichever driver manages to do this against the pit wall, before turn 2:

1. Knock the left side view mirror off
2. Not scrape any other body panels

Raj,

Is Subie all happy now?

[rajito]

Yes sir, Steve, it is in good spirits. We had a heartfelt conversation about my reckless and wanton ways, and I think we are cool now.

Hey Raj, I told you that "special" oil I sold you was worth 5-8 horsepower. You weren't ready for that extra burst of speed on the straight leading into T1! Don't say I didn't warn ya!

[irondragon]

Raj:
I first met you at SP many years ago. When I was first running control there.
You had put your car off the track at the base of the hill leading up under the bridge, and a mirror or some minor bit got wiped off.
I thought you had come out of the incident pretty well and should have left it at that.
But no, during a break you insisted I take you down to that turn so you could climb up the bank and root around in the dirt for the missing part. Which you found. It didn't look like it was worth the effort but you seemed pleased.
I thought then that you were crazy, and I still do.
But I've seen you become an impressive driver. And that's what counts.
Drive well and hard at Calabogie.
I don't know who'll be there to help you look for lost car parts.
Best Regards - Bill

Raj, that is great news and look forward to seeing you at the next event my friend.

Got it. Thanks for the tippers. We'll refresh those point-bys at the drivers meeting and after instructors have had their own session.
The track people said they barely got "some form of bathroom" installed so short of bringing your own toilet, Bruce's shop list is the way to go.
Also bring toilet paper?

[brucesallen]

Bruce,

Gordon

I guess you are right. Wasn't clear to me. So that means the passing zones are:
1-2
4-5
7 - 8
9-10
14-17
20-1
and change the track map turn 7 corner marking that was on Paul's email of yesterday to Candy Mountain.

(Said in good humor) Don't be a Cornholio... always bring TP for your bunghole.

Alors Merde! you are confusing moi ...
1-2 = Kinks to Jacques
4-5 = Easy to Mulligans'
7-8 = Candy Mointain to Temptation
9-10 = Deliverance to Crown
14-17 = Hook to Spoon
20 -1 = Wilson to Kink's

Monsieur Bruce: SVP confirm.
Bordeaux for you!

[StephanAlfa]

Here we go again with weather report: RAIN!
Sunday cool 59 and Monday rain 72 deg F.
I lived in Montreal and HAVE experienced snow storm at this time of year.
Worry not, it won't happen in Calabogie by shear geo coordinates.
Rain on Sun here we go!
