[Northern Rider]

The last heat was great. Really got to appreciate just how well balanced the C is. How great the motor and tranny work together. Brakes held up but did fade when too hot.

I’m thinking that an SRT-8 would give that ‘vette a good run for the money. But I am more determined than ever to stick with my C. Maybe even do club racing or solo 1.

My thoughts turn to more mods – How about some fuzzy dice with LED’s for dots? Psychological warfare?


Maybe Zoomer’s Exhaust? Maybe they want to sponsor my ride?


How about some Dynatech Headers? Hey, another good sponsor for NR Racing Inc.

A chip tuner – for sure – if it ever comes out.

And – most importantly – light forged 20” racing wheels and good performance tires. Sponsors are you listening? Just PM me!!!

My daydreams are interrupted by - you guessed it – a black ‘vette coupe. I move over to the left – Jean Guy gives the thumbs up. Last lap, checkered flag.

We pose for a group photo, and our course certificates are handed out.


We leave the track, elated. Everyone agreed it was the best $400.00 they ever spent.


I follow John back through the twisty bits, down to Ottawa. His driving has improved tenfold! Smooth through the corners, right approach speed, hardly any braking. A joy to watch. We stop for a great meal and are back in the City by 7:30 pm.


And me?

Well, my objective was to burn the Contis down to the wear marks.

Mission accomplished! Now, all you performance manufacturers – no need to fight for sponsorship space – just put your bids in – and we’ll draw lots to select the winners.



Seriously, I think we’ve proved that the C is more than just a pretty face. I think we’re going to see this LX platform showing up at more and more motorsports events. On a personal note, the day was very gratifying and I am glad to share it with all my fellow forum members.

The car’s the star!
