Ste Julie Saturday Report

By James Lissimore

Off the schedule last year, the series returns to Ste. Julie near Montreal again this season. One of my favorite tracks on the schedule, the Ste Julie track runs up and down the sides of a valley and affords great views of the entire track from many different vantage points. There wasn't much going on today but here's a few photos from Saturday at Ste. Julie...
