Some have called it cheating. I say it's for safety.

Too funny Steve

Hard to keep a secret isn't it.

Yeah, I was there too this morning and he mentioned your safety upgrade that's currently at the paint shop

At Calabogie I use I slight lift going into Gilles (T2), Beak and the last right hander in the quarry complex.

We have other tricks for you when you've got that down pat.
Beak... check
Quarry... check
Gilles, not quite. Maybe not going fast enough yet.

I've said elsewhere, but can't remember where... First few sessions, I didn't know if I was coming or going, really. Then, with each successive one, appreciation grew. And ultimately, CALABOGIE IS AN AWESOME TRACK!

We are truly blessed in these parts.

That's only one item. My 6 month plan is getting compressed into 2 weeks. Just in time for the Glen and RA....

He even offered to drop the motor to weld the couplings. Talk about stuff getting "compressed", chief among them, my wallet, ouch!

Rene, I believe.
What I can't believe is how much food you eat for a skinny guy!

Come on you guys both know that cow had it coming.
see you at Tremblant, I'll have the kids up so if you need the inside rear window of your cars cleaned I can get them to crawl in there and clean them up.
