Notice: A Massive Canadian Military Charity "Ultimate Performance" Event!! Aug 24-25
Thank-You very much to the Ford GT Forum Moderator...For allowing us to post a little info about our spectacular charity event!
Who: The Canadian Forces 4 Wing Cold Lake in association with ZR Exotics
What: Race the Base 2012
When: August 24-25, 2012
Where: 4 Wing Cold Lake Airbase - The most active Canadian Military Airbase - Key part of the NORAD air defense network
Why: To raise needed funding for active and veteran Military Families
If you want to explore the limits of your street -legal car and can afford to support a worthy charity, all the way up in Cold Lake, Alberta Canada, then we would love to have you attend and/or compete in our spectacular event.
For the Ford GT community, it could be a matter of marque pride as in the inaugural 2010 Top-Speed event, a Nitrous fed GT ran over 350Kph/217mph in adverse weather conditions (gusting cross wind) - the fastest speed recorded at the event.
New for Race the Base 2012
This year, the addition of a Side by Side Standing Mile will really heat up the marque rivalry. The Ultimate Top Speed challenge will return using the full length of the 2.5 mile main runway with a 2 mile acceleration zone! A new and very exciting addition is the dual road course "Time Attack" flying lap challenge. Also new is the optional "Wet Drift" course, and the optional Smokey "Freestyle burn-out" contest - both fan favorites as they really get an up-close view of the action and can really see and hear and feel the raw power.
Friday the 24th is a full training and dry-run day for competitors with professional instructors including Roland Linder Chief instructor from the World Class Driving School
Saturday the 25th is the main competition day. Expect non-stop driving and action all day. Special events peppered into the itinerary are CF-18 Fighter Jet Race challenges against select competitor cars. (Contestants may enter a charity bid on the day to earn a race and/or select class contestants may be offered the opportunity - exact format/method TBD)
Sunday the 26th is an alternate competition day should adverse weather interrupt the event.
The competitor vehicle rules are very minimal - but we do stress appropriate safety measures. Check out the competitor section of the site for more details. Also watch the growing competitor roster here!
