Amen to that.... there is being famous and then there is being infamous(sp?)

What a blast Indy was - I had an amazing time. I would do that again in a heartbeat - Although my tires would likely not agree to that . Sign me up for the next Canadian On Track!

My girlfriend had the closest encounter in the GT of the weekend where they ended up doing a 180 in one of the corners and ended up in the grass . I am sure the driver nearly had a heart attack on that one.

Luckily as Fern said, the owners of the 2 Cobras that wrecked were ok. The one that was totaled was pretty bad - the roll cage played a huge roll in them walking away from that.

Here's a few shots from the weekend:

Glad you had fun at IRP. It is very easy to get hooked on this track thing!

And is that a pic of the new Mustang in the last shot that is being hidden?

Looks like you guys had a blast. I would love to go watch some time.

I told you you guys would have an amazing time. I have NEVER heard anyone say they hated their experience.

Now Mark, you have to do more than just watch. You have to experience. No excuses on problems wiht your car. If I can do it you most certainly can.

Now news for our next on track event, looks like we will be going too Shannonville next year in early August no not the long weekend. Details will be out by the end of the year.

Also, we may do a single day event at Dunville as a warm up event.

keep you eyes open for all the details.

i too attended the event, and got a ride in the GT. i was lucky to get a ride with on of the Ford GT team guys that was there and i don't believe tha he was holding back at all when i looked at the speedo as he came down the front straight i believe that it hit 160. it was one expierence that i will never forget.

here is a pick of the totaled cobra...

Can I have a new car now?

Aaron, you want up dates on the events you should join. That way you will always get a personal invitation

Plus send me your email and I will add you to my email list but that does not mean you will get all the info about other on track events. I will try to keep you posted as much as I can. Drop me an email at svtoa-toronto@rogers.com

Fern, you should try and make it to the Mustangs at Mosport Event next June. I missed it this year but it is only $175 for the day. Reason I missed it was because I missed the drivers meeting the week previous.
