THIS is a great Mosport video and one of the best multiple car nose-to-tail chases I've seen in PCA racing.

Sounds like a plan, thanks.......

Chris, thanks for posting the video link of Mosport - too bad for the files sitting on my desk that I open it at the office! Mosport is my home track and it is captured well in the video. If Paolo studies it he will have a good idea of what the track is like.

Doc, I usually have stayed in Oshawa at the Holiday Inn, where they have their own restaurant, bar, etc. It is about 20-25 mins from the track, but is nice and clean and has several restaurants around the area.

Study a couple of videos of the track and then dive in! No video will give you the true sense of driving that track. Do the T&T day, and a walk is also an excellent opportunity to really see the dynamics of the track. Dr. Jupeman, 38D (remember him?) and I also drove my tow vehicle around the track counter-race to get a good look at the track some years ago...but that is another story!

I rode my bike around the track after the sprints last year. It was great to be able to stop and study certain parts of the track.

If you can get a ride during the T&T day with someone who knows the track.

Thanks Giacomo. I am available for the same rate this year. I will email you about the Glen.
