    Sunday mornings at 7am up the 404 to Newmarket and take Leslie back down, great twists and farmland viewing. No cars, cops, just you and your car to enjoy a quite ride.

    J. can you refresh my mind as to what's happening on the 27th @ Mosport. My goal is to attend more events this year. Is it an FCA event? Can anyone get in?

    If you are into Ferrari's then this is a MUST ATTEND event. The amount of cars at the track days are amazing. Anyone can attend, all you have to do is sign a wavier when you enter (so if you die it's not their fault ;)). I'll be there for sure, hopefully I will meet some of you guys there!

    Nothing beats track time at Mosport (I haven't experienced Mt Tremblant yet, I hear that is even better!)
    New tires are on order for the new rims . Just in time for May 27 :)
    Track time is FCA members only (or an FCA guest for Green non-Ferrari-non-Maserati run group). Visitors do not have to be FCA members. But as Lucas said, we all sign waivers to enter the grounds just in case.

    I'll keep the 404/Leslie route in mind, nice distance. But it won't be a quiet drive with 4 2 bbl Webers :)

    Event is May 27 and July 6.
    Start time is approximately 0730 (if memory serves me but it might be earlier).
    Cost is $350 per day if you register before May 10, $450/day after that.
    Must be FCA member.

    Format last year was 4 25 minute sessions per run group with 20-30 minute theory lessons before the runs.

    Email me at gerrit @ MindTree . ca for Track Chair persons contact information.

    Gerrit what run group are you gonna go in? I have to go in white. Actually I want to go in white since it is my first time tracking at Mosport.

    Rick, why not tack the TR up for a nice run. You don't have to track it.

    The treat for non FCA members is at lunch when we have family touring. Nice controlled laps around the track. Anyone can ask to go for a ride in the cars. Everyone is more than willing to take you for a spin.

    Don't forget Go Karts on the 25th.

    Actually talking to my neighbor Peter, who is part of it and has invited me to go up as a guest, not sure if I want to bring the car up for my first time yet. But a good chance I will be their to view.

    Someone should invite "mad" maybe he can rent someones ferrari for some laps since he cant get one for the prom......

    Jay, I'll be in White for a while. Altough I am learning quickly, it still takes a while to be completely at ease. It is surprisingly difficult to seamlessly connect all the things you need to do.

    Sounds good, I called Kia today to have them send some cars as well. Apparently in the rain it handles like its on rails.

    Actually V, i might come down with the z06, the TR is too much of a garage queen for that type of event. I havent decided yet. Im pretty sure Im going, never been to the event yet, and that friday seems good for me.If it rains, its a no to the car for sure, but I think I will attend the event. Are you going for sure?

    Im almost certain im going. I am assuming I can get in without an FCA membership. Is this a Ferrari-only event? Or will there be other makes?

    Looking forward to it.
