Very well... where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. Oops, wrong story! Well I hopped in my vette and picked up my friend Casey to flee the border of America! After a small controversy with Casey not having proper proof of citizenship, the Canadian customs guy liked my car owning an LS2 CTS-V himself and let us on our way :cool:

On we go! And my first thoughts.... Canada blows! Literally! :lol:

Felt like James Bond in this vette with all the cool gadgets! Took advantage of switching everything over to metric :smash: Helped greatly on keeping me from speeding but WTF is L/100KM :willy: :rofl:

Safely made it to the track however and I will quote, "A true street car drives to a track in another country, races, and drives back home to America!" :flag: lol.

Now it gets good........

First pass, launch at ~4000, dead hooks, leaves nice but feels a bit "weird", I grab second and it immediately goes to the limiter! Joyous! As you can see, smoke as well...... smells of a clutch!!!!

And boom goes the dynamite!


Anyways, let it cool for an hour or so and decide what the hell, let's give it one more shot!

Got these pictures rolling up!


Result was worse. Launched and it slipped all in first bad and wouldn't even let me into second, ABORT!

Figuring it is now worthless, we decided to hit the road while we had some cool photo opportunities to make the trip as best as possible! :smash:



Enjoy the glamour shots by Deb! :thumbs:
