Amazing day at the track! *Pics

Hey Guys,

Yesterday I had an amazing day up at Mosport with fellow Fchatter Scott (Carbon_00). I woke up at 5am and took the bus out to Toronto to meet up downtown. We walked into the parking garage and there are 2 Carrera GT's just sitting there! Talk about a great way to start off a day. Upon arrival at mosport there were several Porsches, a few Corvettes, Dave (biobanker)'s amazing NSX, and some other neat cars.

As the first lappings started you could hear all the amazing tones of the cars flying around the track. The note on the 430 is unreal!! After the first session we parked the car for some photo's in the main parking lot below the paddock. We were going to move to another location when Scott says "It's easier to find a location if your driving". I honestly thought he was joking but still in shock I climbed into the drivers seat and set off down the road. I didn't push it at all, but just the fact that I was driving one of the cars that I had admired for so long was amazing.

I parked the car and took a few more shots, then the fun began! Scott wanted a few "action shots" of the car so i stood back and the smoke began to fly. Once it was over we both had big grins on our faces for the better half of the day! Later on one of his friends (who is a pro race driver) took me for some laps around the track in the 430. Let's just say that I am still recovering from that experience! The amount of skill and precision has with a car is phenomenal. I've been around Mosport several times in a lot of different cars, but this time was INSANE! There might still be some nail marks left on the door handle lol.

After a great lunch and a few more track sessions we headed back to the city. We went up to Scott's office and I got to see the amazing F1 nose cone hanging up and all the Ferrari monitors. There is definitely a Ferrari influence!

In the end it was an amazing day at the track, and one that I will never forget. HUGE thanks go out to Scott for making this day possible and also allowing me a quick drive in his beast. Thanks again, I really really appreciate it!

Enjoy the pictures,
