BTW, thanks DHI!
I'l post some more video from the weekend since there were 3 sprint races and the enduro so I have some good footage from the front and rear camera's.
It takes me a long time to go through it all and edit it...

The next one at Tremblant is the Spring Classic. I'll be there for sure!
Merci.

All kidding aside, I think it's a great category that you are running in.
"Cheap" to get in..."Cheap" to run..."Cheap" to repair...Momentum cars
When things quiet down for you, get in touch....I need to pick your brain.
thanks

There actually is some relevant instructional value in there.

The track is a bit bumpy but otherwise that's pretty much what it's like. Like a couple of rounds on the spin cycle. The next day you have little aches and bruises all over, your head feels like is going to fall off , your fore arms kill and you'll probably have ringing in your ears from the intake noise. Gosh, I miss it.

I caught a glimpse of the video with Bruno in the car. It's scary fast

Well, that is ONE thing that I am sure doesn't get any easier with age, so you might as well go for it Chris, while the body is somewhat resilient, and you're still a trained athlete.

That may well be, but when you lose it over the top of 2 at 220km/h, I'd rather be in a solid car with a big steel cage!
I loved the idea of a bunch of guys getting Ariel Atoms since they were fast enough (1:45-50), had a reliable motor (Honda!) and had a bit more protection. The problem was that they were not fast enough to run with the Stohr's and Radical's but too fast for "normal" street cars.
Too bad...

I agree with your latter point. I would love to get a Stohr or similar sport racer, but then, the venues become pretty limited (I think ). Whereas, with a Porsche or similar, there is a whole club infrastructure that allows you to drive with similar cars... and people

Intriguing nonetheless.
