Default Zdayz, may 16-18...

Been speaking with some of the guys and we are thinking about heading down this year, anybody else interested?
I know that the ppl over at AMS are going, and I am pretty sure Terry from Zeetoyz will be going...

We should get a huge caravan going!

I was interested. I asked if anyone on the Ontario Z forum went last year and could tell us what it's like but no one responded. There should be a lot of nice Z's there.

Default Lapping

One Day I will go to Calbogie but I did this one below last year and had a blast. I plan to do it again some time this year. You guys soould come out.



TMP Advanced Driver Training - 2008
Toronto Motorsports Park (TMP), Cayuga, is pleased to announce the continuance of its Advanced Driver Training (ADT) / Lapping Program. Participants will use their own technically fit car. The Chief Instructor is Gerry Low, a veteran of numerous Advanced Driving School Programs for over 25 years.
The ADT curriculum is simple, a full day of personalized in-car and group classroom instruction. The emphasis of the Program will be to improve your driving skills, enhance your confidence, and increase your experience whether you are a Novice, Intermediate or Experienced driver. For Experienced Lappers, scheduled seat-time will yield Driving Proficiency. The first date is April 26, 2008 and the number of participants in each group is limited.
Safety is paramount at TMP. The venue is safe, flat, and technical. Established Driving School Rules of Conduct (i.e. 2-party acknowledged passing) will be strictly observed. Vehicles with convertible tops must be equipped with either factory or aftermarket rollover protection. Technical Vehicle Inspection form to ensure vehicle fitness need to be completed by either a mechanic or the owner of the vehicle. As the event is controlled and non-competitive, helmet use is optional.
Toronto Motorsports Park is located near Cayuga, just south of Hamilton, Ontario. This developing Motorsport complex can be configured as two small circuits of 1.2 and 1.8 km each or one large 3 km road course. We will use the 3 km circuit. The paved surface is a safe flat design with good run-off room (one barrier) and excellent sight lines. The course has ample straights, challenging large and small chicanes, tight 90 degree and sweeping high speed turns. A truly good technical course.
TMP is please to announce its schedule for 2008:
1) April 26th, Saturday
2) May 17th, Saturday
3) June 20th, Friday
4) July 25th, Friday
5) August 15th, Friday
6) September 12th, Friday
7) October 18th, Saturday
8) November 8th, Saturday
The cost of each DAYTIME ADT and Lapper participant is $250 and $200, respectively (plus GST) and includes lunch. Time is from 9:00am to 5:00pm.
EVENING programs will be available from May to August. Time is from 4:00pm to just before dusk. Cost for the evening ADT and Lapper participant is $125 and $100, respectively.
Reserve your place now by calling Michelle at (416) 291-4561. Contact Gerry Low at gerry@mezocon.com or (416) 809-6803 (cell) for more details about the Programs.
