From Team Hume – July 23rd.

July 23rd already!

This past Sunday we did our Track day here in Ontario at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park (Formerly MOSPORT), on the Driver Development Track (DDT).

The weather was perfect Newfoundland (pronounced Newfunlnd) mix – i.e. rain, fog, wind drizzle. Perfect for practicing high speed driving on a wet, twisty slightly hilly road surface.

Our newbie to rally racing Nicole also performed brilliantly on the skid pad and slalom course. However, our poor old 2006 MINI GP, suffered a high fever with overheated brake fluid issues mid way through the day and had to be shut down to cool off the brake juice. The cause was simple, two Suicidal Ninja drivers (Nicole and Cody) combined with old worn out brake fluid. It has since been rectified and the 2006 GP now race ready.

The 2013 GP and  2004 M3 were brilliant on track each equal to all that  drivers, weather and track could throw at them. Aside from being filthy dirty end of day nothing else to complain about.

Our earlier challenges with one critical and reluctant supplier were resolved when we found a replacement a new, more than willing supplier to step in. Thanks to Dave Barr and the Worden Agency. Life savers!

So, we are all set for September now, 7 weeks and counting…….
