Mosport On Saturday (leave this thread for a few days)

hey man congrats on surviving that crazy day and thanks for the invite. we had an awesome time and both dustin and I were upset we didn’t know Mosport was so awesome until the end of this season. Looking forward to next year :smiley:

Will be posting pics and vids of Sandra later, hopefully there are a couple of decent ones in there…

Awesome event! Awesome Place! Awesome Track! Awesome Day!

If you are a motor sports or car fan DEFINATLY check this out if you ever get the chance.

Thanks for the invite Sasha, and congrats on surviving the 3 HR enduro.

Sasha placed 2nd in the endur in his class, and 4th overall in the race.

When Malcolm was driving they suffered some technical difficulties that I’ve never seen before. Needless to say something shorted on something else.

Either way it was a fine race, and it was fun refuelling on pit stop for him.

Yeah I heard down the grape vine Sasha was doing awsome.
Congrats dude on another awsome finish!

Andrew.

Bob who was in 1st in sashas class? was it that damn lexus?

The white BMW

What the hell? That thing was wayyyy faster than anything else on the track.

PS - AppleSauce did you have your 240 there? If so, which one was it?

Thanks for comin out guys! It was tons of fun!

The car handled fantastically, after changing some suspension stuff it was like a gokart i loved it!

We took care of the car and babied her to a finish, that white BMW is REALLY fast in an endurance race! He was pushing almost 10/10ths the entire time!

We were ahead of him for most of the race right up until malcolm had a small problem with the car i think. Long story short the car is constantly trying to crank itself over, but will only do so if the clutch pedal is pressed all the way down. How ridiculous is that!

Clutch interlock switch probably shorted… at least you have some time to figure it out…

Jammin, sorry if I didn’t introduce myself, I was a little stressed out and pretty tired from the night before… wasn’t feeling great…

The white BMW was fast because he has an enormous tank and could basically drive all out without having to worry about fuel. Not only that but they had gravity fed fuel bottles. In essence they could have pitted twice and not worried about having longer stops then us because ultimately they would have had 2 stops of full fuel faster then one of ours.

However, that being said, they botched his stop and that gave us a chance, but alas the car had an issue and it took away that advantage.

In the sprints, when Sasha doesn’t have to save fuel he’s quite a bit faster then the BMW. Sasha driving line and throttle are both better through the turns. The BMW driver is overly agressive and not as smooth, in essence he’s overdriving the car.

Sasha gravity feed bottles next year? Nascar style? I like I like…

Bob, not a problem. I could tell you guys were a little bit worked up so I just tried to keep quiet and stay out of the way. :smiley:

Regardless of anything, you guys did amazing. I can’t believe how freaking fast Sandra is and with the exception of the [slow] camaro she definitely sounds the best too.

Sucks that she had some problems :-/

Grey one with aero.

sucks because none of my pictures turned out at all…

Oh and nice mettin ya to Sasha…

I had one of those almost exact size blocks of lead on my kart to keep me legit…Whats the min weight in this class sasha? and wheres your car sit without all those weights?

I was there saturday, was a bit late setting up so I missed most of the first gt qualifiers and my ride had to leave at 3pm so I missed the enduro

but I got some really good shots of the later stuff… that benq bmw was flying! we also got a kick out of the stock suzuki swift beating back the camaros hehe, and the 240z was nice to see

I can’t believe how slow the domestics were

I’ll post up pics tomorrow night hopefully, had my minolta z6

Last 4 pics are from a solo event that was on sunday.














It was kinda funny seeing this

hahahaha holy shit how does that thing fit!

Yea it was no big deal, it wasn’t so much the small issue as much as it was me telling malcolm in the pits WE HAVE VERY LITTLE FUEL SAVE FUEL SAVE FUEL DRIVE SLOW WE NEED TO FINISH. Turns out we finished with an extra 25L. Oh well, now we know how much fuel you save when you drive conservitive.

I estimated we’d burn close to 1L per min but really we were only using around 800mL per min, so we could have beat the BMW if we kept the 34s-35s consistently, but when i told malcolm to back it off huge he was in the area of 38s and when the clutch problem started happening that moved to 40s! Anyways fun race, loved it. And sorry for not being too talkative before the race, generally 1-2hrs before a session we’re stressing to get everything organized! Great pics guys

Car weighs right around 2500lbs without ballast or fuel

I need to be at 2800 at the end of the race as it stands now, so assuming we have no fuel left thats 300lbs of ballast. But since malcolm got to be weighed in that was 30lbs, plus we had about 40lbs of fuel left over, and ended up putting in TOO much weight (since we couldn’t weigh it) at the end of the race we were at 2940!

You can really feel it!

i had to work on saturday so couldnt make it out, hopefully i’ll come out some other time to watch.

Congrats on the 2nd place finish sasha :thumright:

Sasha that thing DIDNT fit. We saw that tail end of that when they were just getting it out, it was smashed to hell on the top.

Why the hell would that moron try to drive through?

I’ll have some pics and vids to post - just waiting on dustin to send.

AppleSauce, was that Jantos you were with? Thought I recognized the passenger in your car.

The car looks really good by the way. I was surprised to see you guys smoking a joint beside those official guys, they didn’t care? I guess it doesn’t really matter hah.

btw sasha, how in the HELL did you fit 275’s on the front of your car. I’m so jealous :frowning:
