One of the highlights of the trip was this beauty. I hadn't seen it before. Quite exceptional.
The Roll Out of the first group to go around the track.
Unfortunately it's now time to put the car away for the winter. :-(

Rituals of Fall
One of the rituals of fall for us has been the final car club cruise of the year. This year we returned to the Calabogie Motorsports Park. It's a wonderful drive through some very scenic countryside.
At the first stop in Almonte, ON for a coffee break and pickup of a few more club members we headed out, probably 60 cars strong in the group. We quickly spread out along the road and half of us took the long way while the others got a taste of some real twisty turny roads. I missed that part which sucked.

I apologize for the crappy cell phone pics. Lori has some on her camera that I'll get today. The cars lined up after the laps on the track.
We got three laps with a pace car on the track. It's a very nice track, 5.25 kms long. I haven't been on a race track since 1987! It felt good lemme tell ya! :-) We didn't set any speed records but it did feel really good to power through some of those corners. The only problem was I kept having to lift off the gas for fear of running over the '69 Camaro in front of me! ;-)

The car show season is just starting here in Georgia. Summer is just too dang hot to do anything outside. You guys need to finish your boat and get down here!
ReplyDeleteBest guess Pam & Dave is the fall of 2017 before we get down that way. Lori's got at least 5 more yrs to work before she can retire. I'd like to have the boat in the water by the summer of 2014 so we can puddle around the canal's up here. You should come up and try our historic canals and waterways.
