Austin Riley has continued to get faster every session. I have been watching him very closely in testing ,practice and qualification and this kid is a racer and has not put a wheel wrong all week. Kojack I will show this tread to his team to see what kind of swag they have. :)
I will report back tonight on this thread how he fairs in today's race and some pics.
AWESOME. Thanks Pete. We are cheering him on 100 percent....!!!! My new business logo is puzzle pieces as well. for obvious reasons!
Can we watch the races on line or tv or something? I would love to see him race!!!!
Oh, Pete, should ask his parents about him racing in the Targa down here with the micra! would be a great challenge for him! If they want any information you can tell them to contact me!
This weekend's races will be streamed on the micra cup's facebook page.
Targe nfld ?!? I want info ..plzQuote:

The race was a mess today with very few green flag laps.Austin brought home a perfect clean micra in sixteenth position. He did an awesome job for what few laps we had under green. I spent a little time with his mother early in the morning chatting. After the race Austin and myself were checking out some of the damaged sorry wrong word DESTROYED micras around the paddock.
AWESOME....Untouched in a madness race, that's a feat in itself. awesome.
what would you like to know....I will dig up the information. I helped attract some racers during the first year, and then built a couple of cars including helping on Subaru Canada's cars.Quote:

I know with my special needs child waiting isn't cool so that makes his PERFORMANCE today even more impressive in my eyes.
So he started 18th and finished 15th.....awesome job.
I read that same article in the Ottawa Citizen on Friday. Impressive story.Quote:
