Well first deposit put down for a 2026 time attack event. Organizers needed a minimum of 30 deposits to make this event happen. Calabogie motorsports park. Its about 5-6 hours from home. One of the best tracks around. Very challenging to drive with a moderately high average speed.

I was here once in 2021, it was actaully the first time my civic ever touched the track. I bought it, put brake pads on it, a rear sway bar, and drove 5.5 hours to this track after owning the car all of 3 weeks.

Footage here from a local guy. I have video from 2021 but my passenger is talking the entire time so its not great.
Very excited. My usual buddies wont be attending since competing here is very intimidating. I get it. Its no joke of a track.
Excited for the 2026 season and driving somewhere i havent been in a long time. Little nervous yes? But thats how you know youre alive lol. Gotta feel it or whats the point
Over a 2 minute lap. I assume I’ll be around 2:35 or so. Car will be begging for mercy. Event is end of august. Maybe I’ll have my new engine by then.

Exciting new, hopefully the event goes through.

As of last night, looks like they got the minimum number for deposits so it should be good to go.
After watching my vlog/track footage from 2021 when i went here last, had an amazing time.
The track is massive so low power car means a lot of WOT time. Definitely a fun track where throttle commitment is important
