I Think i would be interested Greg
Steve,
The track is open the entire day - from 9:00 till 4:00 pm. Stop by anytime - just pull into the pit lane area and find me to pay. It's $200 for the day (or portion of the day). I'll be there about 8:30 just making sure everything is set up and ready to go for 9:00. You can come and go as you please - the track will be 100% open. The forecast is for 11 degrees so it should be a nice October day.
If you want I can help you set your car up a bit. I'll bring a pyromter and we can get some tire temp and pressure readings. I can also lend you my data recorder if you want. It might be interesting.
I hope to see you there Steve!

That would be great. I want to try and push my car a bit. I had one instructor in SLC that was pushing me to go faster, he said the car would handle it. Most the other instructors were only worried abut the driving line and not so much the speed. I know the driving line is probably most important but it is nice to see what the car can do. I will try to be there close to 9:00

A huge thank you to Fireball-Greg for the awesome day at Race City in Calgary.I now have 542 km on new ACR. Handles and drives much better after a day at the track.
Can not think of a better way to end the year. Did not get much cruise time in this summer, but today 5 Red Deer Vipers had a fantastic time(not to mention their owners and 2 lovely ladies).

Thanks again Greg for inviting us down for the day, I had a great time.
I had a great day too! It's nice to have some Vipers there for a change.... I'm constantly surrounded by Corvettes, so having some backup is nice.
I've been a little lazy at the track so having some Vipers around made me pick up my game a bit. I ran 1:20's most of the day with a best of 1:20.1. Not bad - especially considering the time of year.
The best part for me? The hugs I got from Cindy and Stephanie! BOOYA!
Next year is the last year for Race City...... One season left.
We're electing a new city council today so hopefully there'll be an extension but it's not likely.
Anyway, I'm glad everyone had a great time!

Unbelievably - there's another track day tomorrow (Sunday Nov. 7th).
Who knew the weather would be this good?
It's an event run by Track Techniques (I will be there.....). I think the cost is $200 but, if you're interested, call me before you head out to the track. I just need to confirm that he got enough guys to run the event.

Sorry Greg. I was working. How did the day go. I got in at 4 pm. SUPERSNAKE (Cindy), BREADMAN (his mom), and I took a short cruise to Innisfail for supper.
Any cruise in November in Alberta is a bonus.
It is snowing here tonight and going to minus 9 C (16 F). Supposed to be minus 20 (minus 3 F) by Thursday. Oh well, it was definitely fun while it lasted.At least we will have "Arctic pavement" now to run in the bush.
I did drive the ACR to work yesterday - despite the SEVERE WEATHER WARNING.
It was clear and dry all day. There's not a chance in hell that I'd even manage to get the car out of the garage today though.... Big drift right behind the garage door.
