[Lashdeep Singh (lashdeep]

Hans, I will definitely stop by and say hello if I see him.

I don’t have anything planned in that area at the moment but that could change.

I am at Mosport, Shannonville and Toronto Motorsports Park in a few weeks...all

Your son sounds like my kind of guy!

 If there is a stopwatch or a podium, I am all over it.
