Default Oct 15th. GBR. Track day.

There is an open lapping day to close out the season at the new Grand Bend Raceway Saturday October 15th.

I believe the gates open at 9am and it will run until about 4 pm. Cost? Pre registration is about $100?

Here is the link to the track contact info.

I am going to pre register. Smasher? Straysheep? Anybody?

If I can get my new brakes installed in time, then I am in for sure! Mosport killed my brakes last month...

Track time is like crack - one taste and it's all over.

I usually decide to got to the track 2 days before to make sure the weather is good.

How much is going to be paying at the door or 2 days before?

It's also about 240km one way from Richmond Hill.
I need to see if I can find one of my friend(s) to come so the drive won't be so bored.

Are they finally done repaving the whole track? Cause earlier it was open but had some rough areas with also rocks and sand all over the track.

Brakes are the bane of the Z. Even with SS lines, uprated pads, and beefy BrakePros rotors, my brakes could not handle one track day. (And I took it easy on the brakes knowing they were a weak spot!)

Picking up my new kit tomorrow and expecting a world of difference.

I'm also curious, though, add to track conditions. If the track is as bad as tioga suggests it wouldn't be worth the drive. What is the track report 2TH PWR?
