Christian, would you happen to have the results from last years race?

Wow!
Thanks quite a performance Team Quebec turned in when you compare to last years results. Over 500 laps better.

Again, congrats to Team Quebec :auto-checkeredflag:

The tires certainly helped, that's for sure. Thank you Mike. :clap:

Benoit built a great car to use those tires and every driver did his job perfectly. We probably had an average of 1 or 2 offs per heat, as a team. I know I did two stints without going off once and Georges did too, as well as Sébastien. Steve probably did it also. We had some cars pushing us off sometimes but nothing major. Our lap times were very consistent throughout the race also. Really, our consistency was the key. And keeping the car in line, we didn't wear the tires over the braid that much and that helped us in keeping the same tires for the entire race.

We really worked as a team, speaking to the driver on a regular basis. I know some people think it's too much and the fact that we do it in French probably doesn't help. But that's how we roll and we need to do this to race well. Sorry for those who find it annoying... we'll continue to do it. :roll:

Christian and Team Quebec

Your team was phenomenal. I raced the black lane for my team and had my hands full. As I watched your team consistently negotiate the black lane sharp turns, I was simply amazed. It was obviously a combination of driver skill and an excellently prepared car. Your team's results, across the board, showed no weaknesses.

As for your team communicating in your native language, you should obviously use the manner that you can best express yourselves within your team. While there certainly was some jesting going on between the English and Quebec French speakers, I doubt that anyone resented it. If so, that is their problem.

Congratulations on an incredible team effort.

I would like to thank you Steve & your entire family for the great hospitality!!! Great food, sleeping arrangements,you open your CLEAN beautiful home to us and we leave it a MESS. Take your wife out to dinner for us!!! :text-thankyouyellow: the track, Area51 was just fantastic this year! :text-bravo:
Congrads to team Quebec! Your team,your drivers, your car never miss a beat! It was amazing to watch. Same lap times from lap 1 to the end!
Team Changin Gears, cudos to you my new friends!you fought & fought for all 24 hrs.we all have been where you guys were at. Don't let this be your last enduro race. PLEASE! Your next one will be a little easier. As you saw, every team had a problem at one time or another. Some of us had BIGGER problems than others, but not one team threw in the towel.
Team Cloverleaf has some unfinished business to do next year, with our Lancia. 7 heats is just not enough for the car we had. :angry-tappingfoot: New MOTORS will be installed, testing will be done and we will be BACK! :auto-driving:
All in all this event is not just about a race, it's the food we eat, the fun we have. But most of all the FREINDS we meet & see again!!! Some of you we will see in March, some we hope to see you next year! GREAT TIME as always :text-thankyouyellow:

Hello Rob,

Thank you for making the long trek to Connecticut to participate - it was great to see you and the rest of the Cloverleaf Racing team as well. A special thank you for sharing Benoit's story (at Benoit's request - quite an honor) with the rest of the participants - it was not any easy thing for you to do but something everyone present appreciated and will remember for a long, long time. Well done my friend.

See you in the Spring!
