That's awesome! It's stuff like that and the old 82 Le Mans 24 video that make me love my car even more.

How's the track?! Driving through people's back yards too funny. Have an off and wind up at their dinner table asking for drive through.

His name is Marcus Blazac he has a shop in Kingston Ontario Canada and specializes in 944s. He is also the tech chair for the local pca chapter Upper Canada Region. he is a very nice guy and the Newfoundland race is getting worldwide recognition. In our local pca magazine he wrote a 3 part article on this event. I would love to run this race some day!

Marcus (good guy!) was the mechanic / co driver.
The 'track' is more like a rally course - pretty rough and you better have a good navigator...

Ahhh 2006 Targa Newfoundland.

One of my favorite races to watch as half of the island closes down for this event. Would be great to watch live one of these days.
