So with over 2 months in the works, Canepa has failed to secure a work visa for me.


Looks like I'm stuck up here with you guys still!

Did they say how long it'll be before you're able to get down there?
I heard the visas were getting tough to get nowadays.

At least you'll stick around for a bit longer.

Sorry to hear that, but I was wondering.... I have a few of my buddies who have tried to make the move down south in the motorsports world. Only 1 made it full time and that was only after he married a girl in California. The other 2 still work in Canada.

Good luck and if you do get down there full time with Canepa, it will be a buzz. Did you at least get to go to the Vintage races in Sonoma last month? My buddies were running in the Trans Am/IMSA race and managed a first place overall in their V6 Beretta! Canepa was there with a ton of cars as usual and I thought you would have been loving it.

Yeah, being a professional mechanic with a skill-set involving Porsche's and a race mechanic background doesn't qualify for the US government's skilled trades list apparently.

Hopefully I can keep in contact and see what the future brings.


Safo - I don't think my boss will want to bring out the GT2 to a small track event. He already said it doesn't have enough power for Mosport haha.
