Nice Pics! Glad you were able to find a ride up there ... I thought you might have dropped by the ICEDCAPP mobile and introduced yourself! Next time make sure you say Hi! Mark
Thanks again Arshad.Too bad,quite a few cars where a no-show and the traffic going up the HWY 400 was a killer,other then that great weather and good people.
Yeah we had a few minor hitches, but I think overall most people had a lot of fun. In spite of the no-shows, we still had a decent turnout. There's no doubt the first leg sucked heading up the 400 due to long weekend traffic, but the second half more than made up for it! BTW, John, have you modified your car? I was surprised to find that I couldn't shake you! Oh yeah.. I forgot to sign your list on Saturday Lucas. Can you send me your address again so I can mail you a cheque. I'll PM you my new address as well.
Thanks, Tom, for the great pics. Man that was a good-looking bunch of cars. Understandably, but incorrectly, a transit cop said we were causing the traffic while pulled over on the 400. Looking forward to the video and I'm signed up for a CD, Lucas. Again, all thanks to Arshad for putting together an awesome event. The twisties were easily the best roads I've ever driven in Ontario. I can't wait to the next one. PS Great meeting you, Gerritv. I will be in touch!
And Tom ponders the next snap during our high speed (not!) run up the 400: Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here's a link to some more pictures and videos ... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1520102 Enjoy! Mark
Yep, there were a couple of times there on the 400 ... where we almost made it to the posted speed limit! ... LOL
I did see the car but I had no idea which one you were especially with the crowds we drew up! There's always next time... P.S I didnt tell anyone hahah
Hi Arshad, My 348 is probably the fastest one locally and sounds amazing(TUBI exhaust),this little rocket was imported from switzerland,I stay beside Testarosa's,Big Red can vouch for it...I would have gone faster,but my passenger had white nuckles the whole ride... mod's.???
Well since everyone is posting their favorite "Lucas - Taken" pic's, here are mine, and yes, I'm biased! LOL Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Arshad, i can atest to that 348. I cant believe the power out of that thing. That car plays with the big boys IMO. You said surprised you couldnt shake him...its more like you would be surprised when he passes you. Never have i seen a 348 do what that car does, and ive driven a few in my time.
thanks rick...I stayed behind arshad for he knew the route and I was the second car in the line...not to mention my passenger screaming in my ear did not help things
This photo by Thomas - PureEuroM3 (photoshopped etc) sums up the day for me. Ian Image Unavailable, Please Login
Ian, that indeed sums it up. A roller coaster ride with blind hills and curves. BTW, notice who is braking and who isn't. I am sooo glad of my track time Gerrit
I did Gerrit. I'm in the corner which in a Porsche = heavy pedal down. And I'd say you're just about to power on . . . Ian
Looks like he was about to smack his head on the pillar there. Nice pictures!! Looks like fun, will have to check something like this out next time I'm in TO
Totally, Gerrit! Tom and I were both awed by your control. I had the best time following you and taking your lines. You mentioned $250 gets me my own instructor? How 'bout we set something up in '07 for those interested in a race school.
