I hope the reconstruction does not screw it up.
When will they be done? Any closures we need to know about?

It looks kind of lame in the videos but everyone who's been there raves about it. Considering you and Izzone have been to almost every track in North America at this point and considerate it a favorite, that says a lot

If you think that Mosport is a Roller Coaster, you need to come check run with PJ and I at Oregon Raceway Park. I have stopped going to other tracks that are closer, as this one is so much fun! One of the great things about this track, is that it works in both directions. A 2 day trip gets us two different tracks.

Let PJ on myself know when you want to come, we are part of a group that runs their own private days, unlimited track time, come on and off as you want, no slow cars/drivers, no BS, just good fun...like the fun that the FLA guys have with each other.

Sounds good. It will probably be in 2013 as I have a lot of commitments $$$$ this year. Hoping I can pry IZZONE and TrakCar off the East Coast and get them to go West

Maybe Izzone and PJ can convince Mooty and his group to come up as well. Mooty can see his car, and it can be a cars/coffee/beer event like Porsche intended for these cars!

I drove to and from the track on MPSCs, ran two-three days on track and never had a problem. Not counting track miles, probably 350 miles round trip including back and forth to the hotel overnight.

Don't even THINK about Hoosiers or other slicks on the street!

Oops I posted wrong video, I meant to post my FLATOUT lap below.
The 3 slow cars (Mini, SL and something) else we lapped every 3rd laps made me want to drill my skull to get relief

No flip flops are you crazy? I have superfast Reeboks!


I love that track, video does it no justice at all!

I'm going to Road America in May. I will leave the car there and we will try to do Mosport in the Summer.
