Joe, no one cares about your truck. If you wanted to participate in track days it was a pretty stupid purchase, end of story. BMW CCA won’t allow it either. I doubt any track will. Can we get back on topic? A little more info about the legal battle.

And at Nurburgring how many tight corners and quick switch tight corners are there? Not very many, not to mention most corners there are cambered to help grip, not to mention there is virtually no run off there so there isn’t anywhere to go off at a high speed and dig a wheel and flip. If you’d like to cage your SS, we’d be more than happy to allow it to run with us at any further track days. ---

Joe - this thread is not about your SUV-class. Continually bitching about it online is not going to effect any changes, and this is not the thread for that. /End story. Ontopi, I’m with minglor - so much for building anything open-track oriented locally. 😕 EDIT - omg mike. sorry dude. you totally need to give justin the next day or two off now. ---

"Representing Toronto Motorsports Park, Cindy Campbell told the board that a TMP spokesperson will also speak to the board. Later she said road course operation without a racing licence was the issue of concern. Presently she was working on licence renewal for the TMP tracks.

There have been numerous tracks with TBSS, SRT8, and Cayenne track days. Willow Springs was the biggest one, and a hell of a lot harder of a course. The Glen also didn’t strictly forbid it like stupid dunnville, they left it up to the groups. NOW we can go back on topic. ---

not the best news, hopefully they win the right to reopen. somebody find Cindy Campbell’s email… we should bomb her with emails about her snitching on other tracks etc… ---

Dave just told me this as I walked in the door ☹ ☹ I think most of us saw it coming eventually, but definitely a sad day indeed. > [@boardjnky4](#): > > what will nyspeeders with dedicated track cars do now? can anyone afford to run at watkins glen? People with dedicated track cars can afford to go to other track events. People with street cars that they track every so often are the ones who will be affected. > [@Joe](#): > > Nope.

Shit…The only positive to the whole thing is that Onyx is probably the hardest working even organizer on the planet so I am sure he will come up with a suitable if not better solution. Its a shame indeed but you never know where it may go from here. ---

Nelson Ledges is a better option (IMO, but I am a bit biased), cheaper to rent and closer. 204 miles vs 191 miles and I know Nelson can be had for very cheap rates on Friday’s with no corner workers.
