Default "Donk Bop"..

"Donky Bop" caught my eye. Did you know Milt Minter? He had that painted on his helmet and used to tell the funny story of how that came to be.

Do you drive that vintage RSR pictured? Need a co-driver somewhere!

Here is a photo of my #30 RSR at a Mosport IMSA race in 1975. Great track and fun to drive.

Very cool picture. Got any more?

Regarding the 'turns that bite', as John said earlier (9 years ago), T1 is a real pucker factor if late. Also lots of 'bite' at T9, another that looks like nothing, but lots of mishaps there with cars going off on the outside. Also inside wall, after T3.

IMO, you can never really tame Mosport; there are always more subtleties to figure out as the pace increases.

Da-Man, if you're still around, how was your experience?

T12 at RA is just like T4 at Mosport, but reversed and with a concrete wall just a few feet off of the racing surface.

Current avatar is T3 @ RA

Bull has moved on to a better place and won't be co-driving again..

No harm nor foul, if you enjoy a good cigar and/or a good beer bring a glass up high for him.
