CANADIAN ENTRANTS: Michelin Tire needs
Any drivers tires that are over 4 years old should be considering replacing them for the track. Reason being, tires deteriorate with age, they get hard without the oils in the tires and they loose their grip.

For those from the great white north, if you don't come to Calabogie this weekend you will be missing one of the most fun things to do this summer. I will add to Courtney's offer the next five people from Canada that sign up with her via email of phone will also get a couple laps around the track in my Comp Coupe #007 as seen to the left in my avatar. Hope to be giving rides all weekend to those five people.
