""With Montreal opting to go with NASCAR instead of Champ Car, it appeared there would only be two races in Canada next year until a deal was struck to run the fabled Mont-Tremblant road course in San Jovite. Indy cars ran there back in 1967 and 1968 with Mario Andretti sweeping both years.""

It's nice to see that CART will be at such a nice track.

I'll second that Wes.

Now only if we could get them to move the Toronto race to Mosport...

No way, I love just hopping on the GO Train and one stop later (6 whole minutes) and voila, race cars!

There is something very special about having a street circuit right in the middle of a major city center. I wouldn't want to see it move either.

Tremblant is a fantastic track, sure a little out of the way, but a fantastic track. I think I might just have to make plans to be in Trembant next summer for this.

Oh, and anyone that hasn't run your own car on this track, you owe it to yourself to do it once. The first series of turns off the pit straight is fantastic.

I was just being a bit selfish about wishing they would move the race to Mosport.

Some of the best times I've had as a Tech with CART / IndyCar / ChampCar have been at the tracks we could camp at, Mid-Ohio and Michigan in particular. BBQ's, beer, the McTrueman (predeccesor of the McMuffin) the annual Mid-Ohio monsoon....

"i just hope they don't use that silly chicane in the first corner."

That's the "Poseur Chicane". Designed to keep coachwork and
driver seats from being ruined on poorly handled Ferraris & Porsches.
