Another couple of days at the track are done...

2 days at Le Circuit Mont Tremblant - a high speed course. I was there 2 years ago, and my best time was a 2:17. This year, 2:09.

Results are not up yet, but I've got video sitting on the camera. Passed another Lotus also.

It's turn 1 at Tremblant. The angle of the photo makes it look much different than it really is. We walked the track the night before we drove it, and that part of the track is actually just a touch off-camber - so if anything it's banked the wrong way.

What looks like banking is really just caused because the VW is heading downhill slightly, and I'm heading uphill slightly, and the photo is rotated about 30° counter-clockwise.

Hey,
Thx for the video!

I'm trying to decide if I'm ready for a track weekend or not this October.
I have some ghosts in my head from a bad accident last year, so I'm trying to get over it.... not by doing the track, but just in general.

I know you love passing those cars Snid!! I got to do that at the Phil Wicks event at AMVIV this year...they don't like it though, so I guess it's a good thing they can't keep up!!

Nice video snid. Man that is such a beautiful track. You looked like you had the MINI hooked up well.

I'm digging the picture. Yep the photog took a little artistic license with it, but by doing so it made for a dramatic looking photo.

Thanks for sharing.

Great driving! Unfortunately, no track around Denver as of right now. However, I have heard in the rumor mill that PPIR (Pikes Peak International Raceway)is set to re-open this labor day.

Well for my last season in STS I was able to nab me a third in the open class, being beat out by a Boxter who took first and a SM M3 who took second by only 6 points. Be on the look out at Qualcomm in San Diego and 09 Ntls cause I'm moving to HS to kick a little ***. If I can take 3rd in open in an underprepared STS MC, I should be able to shake things up a bit in HS where the MC is KING!!
