At the end of June Champcar visited the race track at Mont Tremblant. If you haven't been there it is definitely worth the trip! It is a beautiful resort town as well as a beautiful track. I was the pace car driver for the Atlantic race and the "hand" for the Champcar race. On Saturday afternoon my teammate and I were invited to go for a ride in the Formula One two seater cars they had at the event. Of course we didn't have to think to hard about it!;-) We had to wear the full gear from fireproof underwear and socks to a balaclava. There was no messing around and then we were strapped in behind the driver. We reached speeds of 180 mph and I even had a bit of an off road excursion going into turn 8. The G Forces you feel when you are accelerating, braking and turning are pretty high and I had a sore neck for at least three days, but it was worth it.
