Awesome shake-down

Jody's on the left and Andrew's on the right.  We plan to share the driving at Targa.

Our Acura TL got its initial test Monday and Tuesday this week at Calabogie Motorsports Park. The car was really impressive -- and faster than we expected. The car is equipped with an automatic transmission that can be controlled by paddle shifters. It's been specially fitted to allow both of us pretty easy access to the cockpit.  It was great to have the seat time. Just some minor adjustments have to be made: a small wedge will be placed on the gas pedal for Jody to provide more feedback because his prothesis doesn't have the tactical capability of a foot. The Terratrip rally computer needs work, but it will be up and running when the car arrives in Newfoundland.  


We want to thank Eric Vlasic and Rob Zarcone from Honda Canada who have worked non-stop to get the car modified to meet our needs and the requirements of the event.  They're going to be with us to provide technical support during the week, too.


The car will be put on a trailer to St. Johns' next week, and we'll arrive on Wednesday by plane.


We're ready to go!
