This sucks..
So i registered for two days at Le Circuit at Mont-Tremblant (which only happens like once a year) several months ago, and had been eagerly looking forward to going there as it's the best track in Canada.

Well the week before my Mom informs me that i have to attend some stupid wedding party on saturday and there is NO WAY that i can miss it.

Crap, oh well. I decided I would head up Saturday night with a buddy (8 hour drive) and ride on sunday, because riding one out of the two days is better than nothing.

With the luck i have been having, i decide to check the weather, and sure enough they are forecastin rain on Sunday and sunday only. Every other day is perfect.

I think someone hates me up there.

You can always be turned into a newt.

If anyone catches you, you just say, "I got better". You just have to work on your English accent so you can say it right.

Unless you are the one getting hitched, go to the track day. Rethink your priorities.

It was meant in good fun and while he did include a angry face in there I'm guessing he's not very offended.

Of course, if anyone were offended by that comment, you have no business participating in any sort of online forum. Just my opinion.

I'm so with you on that one. But no, haven't met the mom....

Hope it turns out good for at least one day.

And, there's nothing wrong doing track in the rain.. You learn ALOT from it.

Re: This sucks..
Unless you are living in the same house, not paying rent, and eating the food they pay for I think you should send them to the wedding party with a card and warm wishes.

If you are still living with mom and she is providing you with everything then you are pretty much screwed...

Look dude, unless it is your mother gettin' married or a brother/sister, blow that thing off and go get some at the track.

Grab your balls and cowboy up.

(of course I say that from 3000 miles away and not involved)
