Regards,
I wish I could but work is getting in the way. I asked because I need to get a package to Eric in Ottawa who will be attending the track days. I thought that if anyone local to me is going, I'd see if they would be willing to take it with them. No problem, I'll ship it. Hey Bob, where is your son working nowadays? No more RMR for him?

Is this a PCA only event? I've never driven on a track before. I suppose it would be a good idea to take some sort of DE instructions first, eh?

Any suggestions?

Yes, it's a PCA Driver's Education event. Bob Rouleau can fill you in on the value of such an event.

Cool. Mike told me that all the events are full this year. Do people sometimes drop out and open up positions for others to enter?

They are generally filled up and yes, people do cancel close to the last minute but the waiting lists are normally full too. I am speaking from experience with UCR, my local chapter even though I haven't attended any of their days this year (done other open lapping days) so Bob or other locals may be able to guide you better. If you're willing to drive about 200+ KM, you could always attend a one day event at Shannonville with various schools/groups.

Guys, sorry ( Dardedevil) but Rennsport events sell out early. The Spet 12-14 event is sold out and registration is closed. Sorry.

I'll add a plug for the Dexter Autsport (www.dexterautosport.com) Lapping/School events At Mosport too. Also, we are now offering Lapping Day/Schools at Dunnville Autodrome (www.dunnvilleautodrome.com)

I agree you want some sort of familiarization with Tremblant unless you are a very advanced driver.
