THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR CONTUNED SUPPORT!!

The driver: I started competing competitively in 2004 in Solo 2 with the SPDA, and have fallen in love with auto racing ever since. In 2005 I felt I wanted to go even faster and tried my luck at Solo 1/Sprints or Time attack as you call them but it wouldn't go my way. On my first track day ever and first solo 1 I did a lot of learning very quickly and was able to pull off 4th fastest and 4th overall novice. The second day started well enough but after the lunch it was my time to go marshal, I went out to my corner and never made it back. I was struck by a car that lost control after the main strait. Without too much more detail I was very lucky and only had a few messy scars with a cracked ulna on my right wrist from when I broke out the rear glass and a huge bruise all over my right *** cheek and leg. Good thing I don't have a little flat *** . BTW with only running 1/2 the day took 4th fastest and 4th novice again, I checked from the hospital . Well I was out of that season even though I did return to solo 2 for the last 3 events . I came back to solo 1 and 2 with a furry for 2006. Doing a full season of each and finishing 1st in class, 11th overall and Top Novice in Solo Sprints, and 1st in class, 12th overall in Solo 2. 2007 was a bummer year. Getting more serious and wanting to get into Road racing I put a cage in my car, but that ate into my season. Having no car I competed 2007 season of Solo Sprints in my DD 07 Audi A3 3.2L, a 07 Porsche Cayman S, my team mates 03 race WRX, my other team mates 99 2.5rs touring car and my STi. I was able to bring my very uncompleted STi to the Red Line Time Attack in Quebec, met my boy spezegun2213 there, and blew a head gasket. So I built the engine for my final turbo set up. We got it finished 6h before the 2007 ASN FIA Canadian SoloSprint Championships at Mosport. With a bad tune, fuel cut, and basically a new car I was able to sneak in Fastest time on both days, 1st in class and 4th overall and killed my own track record from 2006 of a 91.961(last season of the 2nd day, first hot lap, motor cut 2nd lap). I also got my first taste of wheel-to-wheel racing at a 3h enduro at Mosport in my team mate Lucas 99’ rs touring car. It’s an NA 2.5l beasty , we were put into the wrong class but we didn’t care it was just too much fun. We started 11 of 27 somehow (much faster cars in the race) and pulled one out of our asses with a 5th place finish. I can’t wait for the 2008 season and I hope I will have more luck then the last year with my car..... But this is racing after all :s.

For the 2008 season I will be competing in Solo Sprints and GT sprints which are:
“GT "Sprints" have traditionally featured the largest, fastest and most diverse fields at any race weekend. The leading GT-1 cars are unquestionably the "Fastest Closed-Wheel Racecars in Canada" and the champion has at least "some" claim to the title of Canada's Fastest Car. (With a record laptime of 1 minute :20 seconds - several 1 minute :23's this year and regular times ranging from 1 minute :25 to 1 minute :28. This exceeds the speeds of NASCAR/CASCAR or even World Challenge events. - Only ALMS and former TransAm cars are faster.)”
So it should be fun

WOW! first I'm glad you are still alive and the car is still running well. Second, I'm glad to see it has a wing and a rear window as well

I'll be following this closely
