Getting Closer...

We are nearing the point of completion with a number of things requiring attention. Many options are being dialed in regarding setup and settings, but there never seems to be enough time. Bryan and Gary leave next Sunday. The car will be loaded onto the trailer for transport. They catch the ferry in North Sydney Wednesday September 5th with Geoff and Scott flying out on the 7th.

We have had a few more opportunities to drive the car, and most major items seem well in hand. The skid plate and tires are yet to come.

The graphics were done on the weekend and the car looks great.

More Testing Video

Here is some additional video from August 1, 2007 in Dunnville. This clip has the sound of the engine...sweet...

Some Testing Video

We had our first test run at the Dunnville Autodrome in July and the car ran great. We came out with a list of about 40 items but that was the point.

Check out the show...you can watch it on this page or double click and get a larger window that may run smoother...

Maybe testing the car would be a good idea

For a change this year we thought it might be a good idea to actual test the car. Actually this was always out plan every year, but the autoshops never had the car ready. When we committed to returning this year, we mandated that the car would have to be done early so that we could test.

We ran the car for a couple of hours in Dunnville on a track and came up with a list of 30-40 items that needed attention. Bryan Corlett and John Dimoff took the car back to John's shop, Raven Performance Inc. to complete the list. Hopefully we will have the finished product next week to test again.

Here are some pictures from that day. You can click on the picture to see a bigger version if you wish.

We're Back...

What's the old saying? you can't keep a good man down? Well after a one year hiatus, we are back on track for the 2007 Targa Newfoundland.

To remind everyone, we had an amazing, if not challenging run in 2004. The time of our lives with the help and support of Peter and Sandi MacMillan, Geoff and I left everything on the course. We learned alot and managed to finish the event. For a summary you can visit our old blog http://www.4speedracing.blogspot.com/

We returned in the 1974 BMW 2002 Turbo in 2005 for our sophmore year having spent many hours of preparation complete with a new engine and setup for the car. Unfortunately, we were out on the first day due to mechanical failure.

This is what we spent our time doing in 2005

This year will be different. We have changed cars and will be competing in a 1995 BMW M3 CSL (Lightweight).



Stay tuned for more updates to follow the adventure.
