Yes, obviously they'll need a helmet and will need to sign a waiver too. Other than one passenger/co-driver - spectators are not able to come in. Mosport has far more exciting events to go to and watch

Hey T, good to see you're finally lapping the Celica!

I have my own bucket but I don't think Scotty has one.

I'm sure a 2wd n/a celica is going to be more fun the a shifter kart on a kart track...lol

As far as Vitalmotion, Im hoping to work with Jim ( moderator ) and work out a ILR track school at the DDT mosport for us, stay tuned for more details.

Excellent.

Just watch this forum Paul...I have posted a bunch of these events already. I'm hoping to get out again in the middle of June when I have the time to.

Its very hard to explain, but if you want to talk about an adrenaline rush...no car on the 1/4 mile can give you one as much as doing this, even if your car is only 100 hp. Tires squeeling, car sliding, brakes locking up, missing the apex and almost ending up in a tire wall or spinning across the grass...yeeee haw!!!

If anyone wants to go but is very scared or timid about it, their more then welcome to come when I'm going and I can take them out in my car to show them the ropes. I'm not close to being the best driver out there, but I can at least give you a feel for what it's like and what to expect. Then you can take your car out there too.

The main thing about these events are the people and their attitudes. Everyone is so helpful and welcoming. They don't expect everyone to drive like Schumacher and you shouldn't drive like that either, it's not a race. In fact, a little story about this weekend. It was our 2nd or 3rd session out there and I was being slowed down by two cars infront of me - I was being cautious and trying to give them their space until a straight away where they could wave me by - and this EVO was behind me. Well, the whole time we're behind the traffic the EVO is right up my ass. I couldn't even see his whole car in my rearview mirror....I wasn't too pleased with this. So after that session I was a little irritated by him. Right away though he comes up and apologizes...we start talking about our cars and it turns out he's a really nice guy. He was up from Buffalo. Just bought the EVO 5 days ago. It was fucking fast and he was a good driver...I couldn't come close to keeping up to him. But I will say he did have track tires on compared to my street Falkens.

**nissannx** · 05-08-2007, 08:12 AM

Mike, too bad we didn't have more time to talk yesterday. It was good to have you there and a fun day.

**nissannx** · 05-08-2007, 08:13 AM

and a few more

**HEVNSNT** · 05-08-2007, 08:25 AM

Nice pics. Hope I can make it out next time.

No problem Frank...I fully understand how busy you were plus trying to get out on the course and get some laps in.

It was a great day, thanks a lot!!! I received your email about another day in August, I'm just checking my schedule to see if I could make it.

**NightRiderWS6** · 05-08-2007, 11:33 PM

Damnit that looks like fun. My brakes are nearing end of life too... I'll be replacing with some serious hardware and then I can take part in something like this. Maybe borrow a set of R-Compounds too. I'll need them to plant power to the ground coming out of those turns!!
