DMCC Round 4 – Blog and Video!

August 14, 2010 – We made our second visit to Autodrome Montmagny in Quebec for the 4th round of DMCC 2010 Season. This was a single day event consisting of an open practice session in the afternoon, qualifying in the evening, and top 16 once the sun went down! This event also marked my 10th event of 2010! As you can see, the car is in dire need of a refresh!

The sun quickly started dropping once qualifying started. By the time i got to do my second pass it was dark!

Here I am standing proud after qualifying in 2nd place during the opening ceremonies. Don’t I look snazzy?

During top 16, Maxime Truchon spun behind me on entry and handed me the win.

In top 8 I was matched up against Marc Landreville. The last time I battled Marc I nudged him on my chase lap and he got the win. This time I made sure I was more careful. Although the battle went to a OMT, I was able to take him out and get the win!

Up next in top 4 was Freddy Girard. Freddy had a good chase lap on me. He was able to stay within a close perimeter of me pretty much the entire course. On my chase run I lost him a bit coming out of the infield. Most of the drivers, including me, drop down a gear for the duration of the infield. Freddy stays in the same gear and left-foot-brakes into it, allowing him to not have to up-shift, thus exiting the infield a lot faster.

In the battle for 3rd I ran into a similar problem facing Pat Cyr. Pat had a tight chase run on me and when it was my turn to follow him I lost him through the infield.

Once again, for the 3rd time this DMCC season I finished a hair off the podium in 4th place. I am dedicated to learning from my mistakes and taking every event and every battle as a learning experience. I try and take positive approach to my loses as a chance to see where I went wrong and what I can do to improve that in the future. As it stands, we remain in 3rd place in the overall DMCC standings. As always, thanks to my team, my family and my fans!

Now for the fun part! Enjoy this awesome video Dan Cyr put together for me! We finally got some GoPros so this video is definitely the best one so far! Happy watching!
