What's the deal with the Montreal Champ Car race?
It's on the schedule for the end of August, but as far as I can see, there's no event website, event schedule, or tickets for sale.... and the race is five months away.
Hmmmmmmmmm...........

Design your own IRL car...
Our Art Director Mark Hoffberg joined in the fun at the IndyCar site, designing cars in the virtual paddock.
Maritime Motorsport Hall of Fame project
There's a link from the CARQUEST Pro Stock Tour to the Maritime Motorsports Hall of Fame project.
From the site:
Maritime Motorsports Hall of Fame Incorporated (MMHOF) was founded late in 2003 by Ernest (Ernie) and Winona McLean. It follows, and will incorporate the work of those who supported the former Hall of Fame organization in Nova Scotia.
Eventually (once funds are raised) the MMHOF will be housed in a permanent facility located in Petitcodiac, New Brunswick. The planned building size is 105' x 60'and will also house a library, studio and gallery, community centre and specialty boutiques.
CARQUEST Auto Parts announces second year as title sponsor to Barrie Speedway’s Late Models
Barrie Speedway is very proud to announce CARQUEST CANADA as our premier Late Model Division Points sponsor for 2006.
CARQUEST will also be hosting our shows on both July 15 and the Barrie Automotive Fall Flea Market weekend, September 9th. Both will feature 100-laps of CARQUEST Late Model racing.
“We’re very excited to have CARQUEST back onboard for a second year”, states Speedway promoter Brad Moran. “Associating the Barrie Late Models with a brand as recognizable and highly-respected as CARQUEST really sets us apart. CARQUEST is involved in some of the uppermost levels of racing and we’re thrilled that they’ve selected our Late Model division to be a part of it.”
“You can’t build great racing without great sponsorship and at Barrie Speedway we’ve had amazing corporate support”, says Moran, “and obviously CARQUEST has been a big part of that.”
Richard Racette of CARQUEST Canada emphasizes Barrie’s commitment to racing.
"Many factors have attracted us to Barrie Speedway for a second season; the dynamic atmosphere of the facility and Barrie Speedway's proven commitment to racing, innovative television coverage and the opportunity to meet thousands of CARQUEST Racing fans”, says Racette.
CARQUEST is a tremendous supporter of racing across North America, including NASCAR’s premier divisions, and also promote some of the best Late Model racing in Ontario. Barrie Speedway’s CARQUEST Late Models won first, second and fourth in the WWS last season, delivering the most exciting racing battles at home and at tracks all across Ontario.
CARQUEST race reports are also featured monthly in Canada’s premiere motorsports publication, Inside Track.
In addition to their support of racing, CARQUEST is involved in a number of charitable works. CARQUEST Auto Parts is proud to be the Premier International Partner of the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics. The Torch Run supports a wide variety of local fund raising activities with CARQUEST, with 100% of all local funds remaining in the province where they are raised.

The Nothelle Audi A4 – Combining Power and Elegance
- Power output increased by up to 310 bhp
- Sophisticated, elegant aerodynamic packages
- Quadruple exhaust and nothelle "NOVEDRA VII SPORT" 19-inch wheels
For 39 years the name nothelle has been linked with a passion for the ultimate in engineering skills. The upgrade programmes for top-of-the-range cars from Audi and Volkswagen satisfy the highest expectations, combining experience gathered in the field of motor sport with the traditional nothelle values: quality and exclusivity.
Passion for motor sport and innovative designs form the basis for the customisation programmes for vehicles from the Audi stable. The latest nothelle project is the A4, which the tuning company from Ratingen (Germany) provides with a more elegant and at the same time sportier appearance. And naturally nothelle also offers various performance improvements for the A4.
Sophisticated nothelle aerodynamic packages with sporty looks.
nothelle tackles the external cosmetics with the aid of a comprehensive, in-house, sophisticated aerodynamic kits, which is mounted on the standard components without any additional body modifications.
It consists of a front spoiler (from EUR 490), side skirts, a rear apron attachment and a rear spoiler (one version each for the Saloon and the Avant), as well as optional fender extensions, which can also be fitted onto the standard wings with any body modifications.
The rear of the A4 gets an even sportier upgrade when you order the nothelle diffusor. This is available either in the body colour or in sophisticated genuine carbon fibre.
The nothelle rear silencer with its quad-tailpipe looks (from EUR 620), made entirely of durable stainless steel, promises a sporty sound as well as a touch more power. Its oval, chrome-plated 4 tailpipes give the rear end of the A4 a significant boost. A pretty backside is no less enchanting, after all!
Sports suspension and matching footwear
nothelle also provides matching footwear for the A4, with the company's own NOVEDRA VII SPORT wheels in 8.5 x 19" format. The one-piece wheel is impressive for its striking and extremely exclusive design, as well as its multi-piece looks (from EUR 550).
nothelle offers it in three versions. The basic version is the "NOVEDRA VII SPORT", painted in Shiny Silver. The fine surface finish of the "brilliance edition" is achieved by means of an extremely elaborate ball polishing process with high-gloss intensification. Because tastes vary, nothelle also offers the "black edition" as a third version. The alloy wheel is also available complete with an ultra high-performance 235/35-19 tyre from nothelle's technology partner, KUMHO.
Naturally nothelle also takes care to ensure that all the extra power does not throw the A4 off the road. That's why the Ratingen tuning company offers sport suspension systems. Either in the form of a comfort-oriented set of sports springs, as a complete suspension system or as a high-end solution using individually height-adjustable coilovers.
Performance upgrades for diesel and petrol engines
Nothelle gives the diesels a boost by means of chip-tuning or its N TRONIC BOX. The latter represents the intelligent power box for diesel engines, and is a supplementary control unit that will deliver a significant but not excessive performance boost when installed.
Similar performance figures are delivered by the chip-tuning version, LEADERCHIP©, designed for the discerning driver with a desire for more controlled power. The vehicle releases its entire potential and yet at the same time remains supreme and respectable in its running characteristics. The engine offers significantly improved torque and increased power output with well-balanced figures. It is the diplomat among the tuning chips, with unfettered superiority.
As a third alternative nothelle offers the BULLCHIP©, the power upgrade for the driver with sporting ambitions. Full-blooded power delivery, breathtaking torque and fabulous acceleration are its characteristic features. That makes it the muscle man among the tuning chips.
All performance upgrades are of course also available for vehicles with a diesel particle filter.
Of all the A4's petrol engines, the 2-litre TFSI is just asking for some muscle-toning. nothelle turns it into the highlight of its range. In the case of the turbocharged in-line four-cylinder engine, the conversion delivers a leap in power output up to a magnificent 310 horsepower! That makes it possible for the A4 to reach a top speed of 280 km/h (175 mph). Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.5 seconds will have many a 911-owner booking his Porsche in for a performance check at the first workshop he comes across.
As a rule nothelle can offer performance upgrades for all engines. In all its development work the tuning firm naturally pays greatest attention to ensuring compliance with all applicable emissions standards. And all with TЬV approval and under warranty.
