Dude...I am so jealous.

I've been in this gig for 15 years and I stil haven't got the chance to hit a Quebec race. I wish I could be there with you, but enjoy yourself all the same as I hear the best things about this event.

Pardon my ignorance, owner of EKN and all, but is there a link for all the info on the event?

OMG this is amazing and racing has not even started.

If all races where like this I racers would never want to move to cars.

This is like a the Montreal Grand Prix. ONE huge street party !!!!! It is like going to Cresent St during the Grand prix weekend. People everywhere just to see it. Bars everyone having fun all to see go karts.

I tell you I will be coming back every year even if we are not racing.

Just from looking at the photos, that looks like an experience rather than normal race. Perhaps we can get a contingent from Ontario to head out there next year.

If only 20,000 people would attend the ORKC or BSKC races!

Live on air from Trois-Rivieres where qualifying is just about to get underway. We've had glorious sunshine all day long and gone through three sessions of practice for each class. Here we go, let's start the show!
