Last minute tips

Getting ready to head up to Tremblant next week for my Adv. 2 day school . (Anyone here going?). I got my HANS all set, have my Sabelt 3 layer suit, and the rest of my gear. Will try to watch a couple of incar track videos of Tremblant as well. Anyone have any last minute tips of things to bring or things to think about? Any good ideas for the family (outside of the Luge!) to do while I am learing the Rt2000?


Thanks,

Tim

Well, there's the beach at the lake, lots of hiking trails, bike rentals and bike trails, probably boat rides/rentals, float-plane rides, golf and the spas at the hotels. Other than that, not much.

Yeah, float plane rides - just in case turn 2 isn't scary enough for you.

Re: Last minute tips

Jim,
You discovered the secret. After bouncing around in a rattle-trap Cessna on floats, Flat through 1 & 2 is like sitting on the porch in a rocking chair w/ a glass of iced tea!

Suggest adding JP's mantra: "The car will do it flat, the car will do it flat...." to stay relaxed.

Well we made it here to Tremblant after a 7 hour drive thru rain. Staying at Sommett. Very nice. Saw some Skippy vans around. Anyone online up here too?
