For the Oppo meet tomorrow in the Ottawa-Montreal area, things will be tricky.

Unless some last minute arrangement can be done for a car for me to drive, I do not have much hope. As my father's car is still "broken", and my mother's van is the only car we have, it will be complicated. My parents loved the idea, but my mother wants a car to stay at home in case she needs to head out.

Oppo in Ottawa? When did that come up? Do you have any more details?

Sounds pretty cool but in the only possible Canadian excuse, I have a hockey game at 1 PM. Hopefully there are more in the spring/summer!

well, if you still want to ice bridge it, I can probably have you as a passenger in the worst case, although that's not as great.

Some last minute complications are screwing things up, hopefully a something comes up tomorrow, and maybe I can borrow a family friend's car. If all fails, I'll have to resort to calling you over.

You're also welcome as a passenger in my car if for whatever reason bossy is unavailable. He has my number if you need it.

I suggested a trackday to WhiskeyGolf. I think that'd be pretty cool if we could get a group together.

Indeed it would be. How much is it to enter actually?

Well it's $452 for a full day at calabogie (six half hour sessions) or $225 for three. I did one this summer and the track is phenomenal . I believe it's the longest track in Canada, at 5.5km. I had a ton of fun, until I blew up my cooling system by spinning.

EDIT: It's $452 for "experienced" drivers. It's $600 for limited experience because they stick an instructor in with you. I can see that being pretty steep though.

I might save up for this. I'm down.

Good. I'm starting to take down the usernames of us Ottawa/Montreal people, just in case this actually happens.
