So....
With the news that BP is coming to Ottawa (Canada) yet once again to run at the fabulous Calabogie Motorsports Park, we're thinking it's time to do what the Family does - have a mini-meet! I believe his trip is for the weekend of May 201/21/22/23, which is the Victoria Day weekend here. So far we are hoping to have:
1 BP
2 slater
3 anandoc
4 alexandre
5 me (orange260z)
Is there any other interest? Would be great to meet any other Canadian or Northern US Mafioso. ... and if you're American, and you live further, remember that EVERYTHING in Canada is 33% off for you guys!!!
I would definitely be up for a drive to Calabogie to watch BP (and maybe Slater) run. There are some excellent driving roads up in that area that could be fun for those of us not actually running at the track.
Hope to see you guys up here!!

I may be up for a trip to Canada this year.... May/June tends to be a busy time for me though.... so you can add me tentatively. Last year I ended up going to Hawaii and missed the reunion meet as a result... we'll see what happens. I would love to go so I can put my Nikon cameras to work ;)
Here's a few pics I took while at Limerock a few years ago.... the first two are Botond's ZHP going thru the course :)

I had a lot of fun taking these pictures and Botond had a lot of fun driving the course during that day :thumbsup I may make the drive up with Botond

Hmm, the snowball effect. I think I like this. :thumbsup
I'll be travelling with my friend and his girlfriend, who will be in an E36 M3 and will be on track with me as well. You can put a +2 on my end for that, unless they want to go do something else while we're there.
We planned on driving up on Saturday, 5/21. We'll have Sunday 5/22 to play with, and the event is on the 23rd. Drive home on the 24th.

Awesome idea.

That it would. And I've never been to the great white north.

ottawa is a great place for a first-time visitor - it's beautiful, especially in the fall.
