Mosport 3hr Endurance Race Sept 19th, Come Watch, Camp, BBQ!
Hey guys, I just wanted to let you know our next race that is coming up is taking place Sept 19th at Mosport Int'l raceway, If you've been there before you're well aware it is one of North Americas wildest tracks, only 45min-1hr from Toronto. Pro drivers from around the world are always excited to come to Mosport as it has incredibly fast sweeping corners with exciting elevation changes that takes the racing to an entirely different level - stepping over the boundaries at a track like this doesn't just mean you get a bit of grass in your fender wells!
This race is a three hour endurance race and the President of Yuke's is flying over from Japan with some serious race experience to race with us. This guy has raced in World Touring Car Championship as well as Super Taikyu in a 350z, so I am very excited to see how he fares in our 350z! While we are not as professional as those big teams, we are going to have fun this weekend and we invite you guys to come out, camp if you like and watch some great racing!
You can get tickets for free on the following website:
http://www.casc.on.ca/comptkt/
So let me just summarize:
Why wouldn't you come!!
It's September 19th (Saturday), we will be testing on Friday as well. There is other racing going on throughout the day, so come by early, watch some great racing, watch the 3hr race at the end of the day and cheer us on!
Let me know who's planning on making it out and maybe we'll even bring some extra meat for the BBQ!

In 2nd week of school im already behind reading for few courses, i need weekends to catch up or read ahead =(
I wish i had free time to come out for this event, whole summer past and all i did was work, and study without any time dedicated to the meets/z
Hopefully this event will grow larger and when im done with school i can finally attend.
Have fun though and please take some pictures

What's a couple of hours anyways? I don't think there were to many meets this summer anyways cuz everyone was busier this summer even though things slowed down this year.
I was gonna offer to drive down with you on Saturday since I'll be heading down that way from Newmarket but meh if you can't make then you can't...

Well guys, I'll do a full update later but the event went aboslutely perfectly. We couldn't have asked for better weather, the car ran great and faster than ever, my previous best time was a low 1.30 and on a cool qualifying lap i put down a 1.28.5. That's getting pretty quick, the world challenge GT cars do 23s or so!
Yuke was an awesome dude, I look forward to meeting him again in the future, and his friend from Tracy Sports was so funny and awesome as well. Albert had things organized great and Jackie from Speedstar was a huge help in the pits.
We qualified 1st in class and Yuke ran clean for 1hr10min until we needed to stop for fuel and tires where I got in. Great pit stop, fast fuel and then 4 tires in 1min30sec while i strapped in, followed by a 30sec hold (it's a rule if you're using drybreak) and I was out for 1hr35min or so, stopping once for fuel at around the 2hr30min mark.
We won our class (GT2) and were THREE SECONDS within winning overall, an orange Viper Competition Coupe was out of fuel and limping around the track on the final lap, and had a damaged clutch so couldn't shift out of 4th. The guys were waving a "GO" sign at me from the pit wall as my radio came unplugged when I was strapping in the car and couldn't hear them, I didn't know why i was trying to go so fast until the last lap!!
So exciting. Pics and video to come,
If you weren't there BE THERE NEXT TIME!! It was so crazy to end 3hrs to only a three second gap!
