Damn... a local autocross event on the same day as the cruise.
I look at it this way:
MCO tries to hold (they say) between 8-12 autocross events per season. There will be more.
The 6 hr cruise through the beautiful backroads of the Outaouais region only happens once a year.
I'll be on the cruise, but I can't wait for the next autocross

MAY 21st: The meet starts with a show and shine in the Corel Center parking lot on May 21st at 2pm. This is a good time to show off your car and snap some pictures. Afterwards, everyone is invited to my place for the usual BBQ and drinks.
MAY 22nd: Everyone is invited to the Cumberland/Masson ferry at 9am for a huge cruise in Quebec through some of the nicest roads you'll ever see. We'll be doing a similar route to last year, so it's not for the faint of heart (or weak stomachs)... this is THE highlight of the weekend.
As usual, directions to all the spots will be provided at the Corel Centre.
If anyone needs specific info, please PM me or email rxcetera@hotmail.com

In rain you drive slower so that you don't go sliding out of control, it's common sense for most folks (yourself included I assume).
With them slowing down, they probably passed by a group of cops set-up with a speed trap. Without the rain, the faster ones might have been going fast enough to get some major police ***-rapeage.

Actually that's what I assumed, I just wanted to confirm that, and was wondering why there would be a speed trap setup in the middle of nowhere (i don't know the area, but I would think it's not a likely place for a speed trap)

Any word yet as to whether or not Aaron Cake will actually be driving an Rx7 this year? (I don't hang out in the 2nd Gen section, and haven't been following his progress lately).
I know he built an engine, I don't know what else was left on TIINA after that.

I posted hotel info a couple pages back.
5-6 people (or more) usually end up crashing at my place and there's plently of room to pitch tents if you're into kind of thing.
Dont worry... we take care of the out of towners.

I'm not just going to stuff it all in my 7 and offer it up to the first taker at the meet. If you want it, ask for it now. Nobody asks = I ain't bringing any of it.
