BTW, and I guess it's a bit late, but there's a tire shop at each of the three Canadian venues:

- Braidan Tire @ Mosport, Hoosiers, Mich slicks
- Speedmerchants @ Calabogie, Hoosiers etc
- Touchette tire @ Tremblant, more of the same

I know I mentioned Braidan before, but forgot about the other 2 tracks.

I wish. They changed the dates of it! We drove by this morning and it was a ghost town...July 11th to the 15th now. Bummer. I was looking forward to that too. Instead hanging out on a rooftop sippin margaritas. Big BBQ coming up. Love Chicago.

They said something about needing to postpone it because of big crowds expected at Autobahn Country Club for a premier event on Friday.

That middle tire rack looks like it might not make it for the entire trip
