Default New Trailex with my GT3 (pic)

I wanted to thank Crazy Canuck (Chris) and Santi from Primo Trailers just outside of Ottawa for helping me select and purchase a great new Trailex trailer.
It tows really well, even with just a Honda Pilot. The long ramps make it s snap to get the GT3 on with no scrapping.

Chris,

Looks like a great set up . Just got back from the Glen using almost the same, a Ridgeline towing an older and bit slower 993.
The Glen was a blast, 140MPH going into the bus stop.... real fast track. You and your brother should try it next year now that you got the trailer.
I talked to Matt about one last year, he was saying with the dogs and all the track stuff you need to bring to the track a Pilot and a trailer might be a solution.
The Glen is about 5 hours from Ottawa, so maybe 6 from MTRL .
If your at Tremblant this weekend, have a good one.

Cheers,
Geoff

and you the 450 for the forthcoming ATC Gooseneck stacker ...

Hopefully you ladies will travel beyond Calabogie and Tremblant and visit Watkins Glen, VIR and perhaps go a bit further to embrace the culture at Road America, Road Atlanta, Mid-Ohio ...

Chris VS Chris......... 2 GT3's......... this will be fun
Not sure you PCA instructors should be setting this kind
of example for your students. This is DE not racing!!
Now what Rouleau can I hunt down at Calabogie........ Chris?
No He'll have his hands full with the other Chris.
Bob..... he drives a GT3 RS real well....... not a fair fight.
Wait, there's another Rouleau in a Cayman, Matt.......
Might be fair Cayman Vs 993........ for beer

Cheers,
Geoff

Hey Chris,

A little birdie told me your wife is faster than your brother........

Rob, too bad you missed it. Great track, real nice people and tons of track time. Friday is free for instructors,
so I spent most of the day in my car or riding with someone.
Another cool thing is the garages. Hope to see you there next year.

Cheers,
Geoff
