Some of you are probably aware of what this is, if not...it is a 2200 kilometre course with mixed open/closed roads touring Newfoundland. There is different classes of cars, with cars from 1968 Ford Escort to a 996 Porsche TT.
The Driver - Herb Wong and CO-driver some of you know - Desmond Sie from BMW Toronto.
It's pretty cool to see people involved in our local community participate in such events. More info can be found at
