I'm planning on it if my gearbox is rebuilt in time. I've never been before and have been trying to get a test day without success on either Wednesday or Thursday before the race weekend, any suggestions?
Thanks,
Joseph

I'll be there cause it's my home track, and frankly, there should be at least one "K" car, lol.
6th Gear has a day on Wed the 5th. They're a good group http://6thgear.mycustomevent.com/Sho...ctlist&cid=251

6th gear days are great, particularly the lunch

Yes my gearbox blew up at VIR, ring gear is the first thought, big chunks of metal on the drain plug. Only 20 hours since comprehensive rebuild. We'll see if the original builder stands by his work.
I checked with 6th Gear their August 5th track day is full.

This is a Big Boy race track. It has 10 corners; five of them are in top gear and three of those are downhill, blind off-camber. Serious speed, pucker, donuts, Canadian beer and huge fun.

For non-racers this was a fantastic event. Went last summer for adv solo lapping held inbetween races.
Fantastic track and it's on my repeat list! Was disappointed to get an email the other day that adv solo lapping spots are sold out. Next year I'll sign up early.
Mosport is my #1 fave track of all time. It was fun watching the races and we received a very warm welcome from the Canadians.
