Calabogie, Mosport, Tremblant's not THAT far, the Glen too ... esp. if you're in Toronto-ish, thats like 4-5 hours tops. Dunnville is close and fun as heck (we go there a LOT), not a fan of TMP, haven't been to Shannonville

WTF, there are people talented enough to not have to drive straight.

somebody · 08-12-2008, 04:03 PM

thanks for the info. I was aware of calabogie, toronto motorsport park but, mont tremblant is a bit too far for me....dunnville looks like a fun track.
I like shannonville for now..relatively safe & easy to learn on.....
I've been to mosport many times to watch motorbike & sportscar races....It's a beautiful track.
I'm a beginner...I'm going to tackle mosport next year. I'm going to invest in some good tires & brakes. Hopefully, I will take some courses in the near future.
