Who heading to the great white north for some new pavement? Great chance to get a head start on this track for 07. You get some track time here and impress your friend when they visit the track in 07.

It's never a problem for me to write up a track. Glen and Gallo were just up there the other day so Glen will likely have a report soon.

Calabogie was awesome. Blind entries, Blind apexes, Blind exits, elevation changes and amazing grip. With temps the the 50's on Tuesday the tracks had tons of grip. 22 turns makes it kinda hard to learn but after a few sessions it all came together. Some turns were so long they had 3 apexes. You need to wait on a lot of turns to make it work. 3 turns tighten up on you to keep you honest while others have numerous elevation change in the same turn. Turn 5 starts level then drops off to the first apex, then mid turn it starts uphill as the turn tighten up on the second part of the turn. As you exit you flick it left for a blind apex that you just go to see to understand. In the rain on Wednesday there was still a ton of grip for those who dared to push the limit. I tried to follow another coach that was making smooth lines but my lines were all over the place. My head just wasn't in it.
This is a larger version of Barber with twice the speed. Super fast and super grip. This track in the summer will be amazing. TPM has a few weekends scheduled for next year and if you get a chance to make the trip do it. The locals are great and very friendly. Eat the the Buchorn and stay there or at the Calabogie Lodge.

Nice, thanks for the writeup. How about run off and safety? Gravel traps? Wall proximity?
