It\'s almost time for Targa Newfoundland! *56k warn

Well, just over one month to go. I personally think this is THE coolest motorsports event on the continent, bar none. It's basically a tarmac rally taking place over a whole week, on paved roads, on a beautiful island filled with wonderful people.

I SOOOO want to do this. The entry fee is so steep though. $4500. Ouch.

Hopefully some day I can do it.

Oh, here's the link, check it out:

I saw the higlights from last years race on TV on OLN last weekend and man does that ever look like a blast! It would be awesome to try once you get over the entry fee and the fact that I'd have to drive to the other side of the continent.

I'd love to call Craig and ask if I could just crew for him. Just gimme a piece of floor on the motorhome, I'll bring all my tools, could be great. But alas, I'm getting married and our "honeymoon" is going to be September 3rd-10th. So this wouldn't go over too well.

Maybe next year.

I was thinking, maybe I could try to raise enough sponsorship money to pay the entry fee? $4500CDN isn't that much for sponsorship, and it's nationally televised...

Thanks guys. Yeah, we'll have little go-cart racers in a few years. Tina wants them right away, but we've decided to wait about two years. I want to take her skiing out west, and maybe to Europe before we "settle down" too much.

Mike: how long was the show? It'd be great if you could mail it to me so I could watch it and send it back. I never got to see the footage.
