I went to see the RX8 team again knowing that they lost the race in last place and wanted a fun talk with them and take a picture with them. My shy nature felt like it was better to not disturb them. But then my friend told me "Just tell them What happened in a funny way" to open up a convo. And I did....Theirs faces went sour and they asked me "What do you mean by what happened?" Me: Well...huh...I mean like...what happened at the race? I wasn't there at the first race...I just wanna know how did it go...

Them: Oh...we did good...we did good. Didn't we did good guys?

It semi went back to normal...but I felt unwanted and just felt like a massive dick to open up the convo like this...I should had shut up.

I know that feeling. When Alex Job Racing had the Lotus Evora GTE, I saw it on jacks, disassembled a couple hours before the 2012 Lime Rock Park race, and I asked the drivers if it was broken. Anyone who payed attention to that season knows that the Evora was a constant trouble for AJR. And then I had the nerve to ask if they had any more Lotus hats!

They know I am. I talked to them yesterday and it went great and they gave me tips on how to set the suspension on my NC. But today...I messed up.

IRL trolling is always fun, though. Just have to own it.

Note: trolling people you don't know can have unpredictable results.

Well, Henry Ford did dabble with Anti-Semetic views as well.. I don't see people discrediting the 351 windsor because of that. ;)

Poland can not into space yeah? That does not mean that we should discredit everything made by people who supposedly supported the third reich does it?

Is this the RX8 team with the car driven by some kind of hockey player in Quebec? Shared the track with an RX8 team like this once at Sanair.

It was car number 27. It had a Journal de Montreal and Canöé.ca livery. I don't know the driver but he seemed upset...

Ok, not the same.

Quick check the guy I shared the track with was Marc André Bergeron, a hockey player (no idea who he is, I'm french lol) Car # 47

I feel bad for them. Their oil cooler line busted up. He drove almost without oil for a good while without knowing it. They decided to not start up the car and give up the race. They only did the qualification. I'm french too lol.

Ca m'etonne pas que les americains savent plus ou donner de la tete a chaque fois que je dis que je suis français. Ils croient tjrs que je suis quebecquois lol. Il faut tjrs que je precise "real french" ou "french french" lol :)

Tu roules sur circuit de temps en temps? L'été est la, ca serait cool d'organiser une petite reunion oppo a Sanair ou ailleurs...

J'ai jamais roulé sur un circuit, à part le circuit Gilles Villeneuve la nuit où il y a pas un chat... J'ai été dans une session de drag à St-Eustache ou j'ai eu beaucoup de fun! Je pensais m'incrire a iCar mais une amie me conseille d'aller Mont-Tremblant vu qu'elle a des contacts là bas. Sinon comment ça fonctionne à Sanair?

"What do you mean by what happened?"

"You know, how you completely lost the entire race cause you are failures" that should have been the proper response. . .

And that is why I have no friends.

If by Americans, you mean "all people in North America", you're right. Western Canada thinks Quebec is French like France is French. I should know - I used to be like that until I met the Québecoise who became my wife!

After 10+ years with this woman and 8 years living in Montreal, I'm still not sure that my mother understands that there's a difference...

Usually, when saying I'm french to Ontarians or BCians, they usually ask me if I'm Quebecquois or really french... In the US, espacially, NY, VT and pretty much all the states close by the eastern border, they assume I'm Quebecquois when I tell them I'm french :)
