I wish I could. But I'm moving this weekend.

We're racing, Can-Saf Motorsports Protege in the Castrol Canadian Touring Car Championship. Anyone is welcome to stop by our paddock and get a tour of the car.

I'm working track services on corner 6 tomorrow, and not sure what corners the rest of the weekend.
Racer Jason, I might stop by to say hey. I'll be in one of the blue suits on the blank white Ridgelines (seriously? they couldn't give us real trucks?)

Honda doesn't make a real truck... Only the Japalanche!

You should see the ridgelines that the IRL safety team uses - the orange ones - they are pretty hard-core.
Ours though; we can barely fit two people on the tailgate of these things after picking up all our supplies. They suck.

Are you racing trans-am class? That's the only FD in anything this weekend. I got some nice shots of your car from turn 8 where I was yesterday.

Decided to pull the camera phone out while I was taking lap times ^_^. Looks better in person for obvious reasons. The pauses are when I would turn it off to write the lap time down hehe.

i wasn't suppose to go and ended up getting a call from my brother at 11 last night, and he said he had an extra ticket. I would have loved to meet up with you guys! I didn't get to see the FD out there, but I took a walk around it. I did get to see the Protege going around the track though! And what did Mazdees bring down?

Saw Jason and Marco this weekend, I was too busy to say hi. I'm one of the crew cheifs for the G1 Racing Hyundai team.
Sasha did an amazing job this weekend which paid off with an overall victory on Sunday.
As far as we know its the first time a Hyundai has placed 1st in any professional road racing series.
I think I got maybe 8 hours sleep all weekend....so tired today haha.

Here's where I was standing most of the weekend - Corner 6. This is Sunday's warm-up run. Sorry about the quality, all I had was my phone for video.
