Went to Mosport yesterday for a track day. I highly recommend going for those who have not been. Very fast and exciting track but also dangerous. Concrete walls all over the place and no runoff at all. Even in my stock s2k i was hitting 5th gear on the back strech and 4th and 3rd most corners. It was cooold out and everyone was slipping and sliding all over the place. There are concrete strips running through the racing line where the track has been patched up which isnt the grippiest surface in 50 degree weather with light rain. I hung the rear out real nice on a 3rd gear left hander my first session a few laps in and did a nice half ass drift until I caught it. One car got totaled.
It’s 8am and an Evo is about to have me for breakfast:

My Slo2000, ran ok on hoosiers but not nearly enough power for this track:
Story on that S2000… late afternoon session the owner lets his friend who wasn’t even registered for the event get behind the wheel. Guy makes it to turn 5 before he wrecks the car. I lose 30 min of track time. I am just glad he didn’t take anyone else out in the process.
Ferrari was out once for a few laps driving slow and waiving everyone by.
I was at Watkins Glen for an Audi driving event and some dumb girl put her dads Carerra into the guardrail about 5 minutes into a 30 minute session and everyone lost the remainder of that session, which was ghey as the car wasn’t even on the outside of a turn or anything. That club, the NEQ, SUCKS A$$, you put one wheel off and they call you in and scold you:tif::tif::tif:
Same thing happened here. We had 2 groups our group just went out ran 1 lap then this guy decides to put someone elses car in the wall and we lose our session.
Not sure if I just missed it, but what group was this track session with? Only two groups?..what was the classification between each? Beginner/advanced?
nice pics. I think ive seen that same Prancing pony at the glen. before. I wouldnt drive it fast in the rain either.
estookay is just a reminder on what CAN happen out there. DUnville is more gooder for beginners. tall grass and the occasional gravel trap is all you have to worry about.
Mid-ohio is a pretty decent beginner track. but any track can kill a car & driver. Good instruction is key.
