Catching Up with Duncan

After missing the first race at Tremblant, I contacted Duncan for an interview after the The Grand Prix to discuss what has been going and what is to come!

Duncan: Our podium at Tremblant was very satisfying because we worked very hard at refining all the small little things we knew were wrong with the car. We also found a few other little things to improve. So our performance was a combination of attention to detail, and all the work we did over the wintertime, optimizing everything to the greatest extent. We also did a couple of test days before the beginning of the season. It didn't appear that anyone else was there. We did our homework and things worked out very well. It shows that the hard work pays off with good results. I felt that over the past two seasons, we could do very well but it took longer than I expected.

 The race weekend started off on a very...interesting note. On Thursday night, I had gotten a phone call from Duncan that I had to bring my grandfather's old walking cane. When I dared to ask why he needed it, he went on to explain that it was for Corey, one of the guys on our pit crew. Duncan told me that there was a bear near the RV where they were staying and Corey kicked it and that is how he hurt his ankle. When I asked what the real reason was, Duncan just laughed. 

 The next morning, my father and I made our way to the Mont-Tremblant racetrack. As we were pulling into the grounds, there was an ambulance coming out, lights flashing, and three other vehicles were following it. When an ambulance is coming out like that, it's never a good sign.
