Trip to Montreal Canada


Went for a week, pit crew for the team.
Arrived in Montreal,
First night we unloaded the porsche, the next day we can unload the
cup car,

3 Classes ran that weekend, GT, GP, and CUP/Nascar

We have 2 trailers, one for the GT3 Porsche, and one for the Nascar Nationwide car


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.

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.
