    As the subject reads.

    This one is a special one.

    Originally I was only supposed to get 1 race this year, but that awesome wife of mine decided it was a fitting birthday gift.

    Big 35 next weekend while at the track.. I've got mixed feeling as I wish my family could be with me at the track, but we'll eat cake on Sunday.

    For race #2 I'll be heading to Quebec and running at Circuit Mont Tremblant

    Last year I watched the guys having fun. http://www.124racer.com/gallery/Race_Events/0926_MT/index.html

    Looks like a very exciting race track.

    Happy Birthday Andre -

    Looks like a fun track and the race car is ready to go. Time to give your wife a big hug. Any wife who is understanding enough to let us grown men play like little boys with our race cars is truly a wonderful women. Good luck, have fun, and be safe.

    Nice way to spend your birthday. Mine is in January so for the past few years I've spent it at Daytona for the 24 hour.

    Guess it's like sex, watching is OK but it's more fun to do.

    Enjoy yourself, keep safe (Again like sex)

    Update.

    Car is as ready as I can get her.

    New (used) starter is installed. I was having a power issue. After testing we discovered the battery posts we coated in carbon. Took a cleaning bit to it and presto the car came back to life.

    Its going to be a wet weekend. So I will venture out in the rain and learn how the car handles.

    Gotta hit Crappy Tire for a 10x10 canopy :)

    G'luck! We're heading out to NJMP for the NJ Historics in a few hours.

    I just realized my daughter borrowed my canopy and it's still at her house.....oh well....
