Enough talking,
Heres pictures;
Please excuse quaility I was using a 50 buck point and shoot digi, I didnt want to take my SLR and break it, but next time I will.
Most of these GT, and GP shots were taken very early, I was mostly working when everyone showed up
The circuit, at Parc Jean-Drapeau on Île Notre-Dame, a man-made island in the St. Lawrence River that is part of the city of Montreal, was originally named the Île Notre-Dame circuit [1]. It was renamed in honour of Canadian Formula One driver Gilles Villeneuve, father of Jacques Villeneuve, following his death in 1982[2]. The venue hosted the Champ Car World Series Grand Prix of Montreal from 2002-2006.

Flew Back into New Jersey,
I had a 5 hour layover, but I had a friend I knew there,
Took me sight seeing
Me, Engineer, Driver (owner)
We had 2 trannys lock up, didnt get to race in the rain, which was a blessing in disguise, we deff would have picked up some damage, we can save our car till next season now.
I lightened up the pit sign
