Champcar Race, Mont Tremblant PDF Print E-mail

 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.
