Just wanted to give a shout out to my man Carl and the TRAC Racing Team for an amazing weekend. If any of you folks want to have an amazing time with a great group of people at a fantastic track, I would highly recommended doing the TRAC Racing Academy at Calabogie. I know a lot of the people from our club (HADA, which Carl is also a member of) want to go back next year - it was just that much fun.

Thanks again, Carl.
