Grand Am race at Mosport yesterday on Speed

Anybody catch this race? Great racing and excellent in car action. The GT2 pole was a 911 running a 1:17!
Awesome Corvette/ Ferrari battle went right to the last corner.

I missed it but I know Joe Lu, Mick, Matt Barnes,the McParlands and Raj were there live. Hopefully they'll have some pics to share!

Cool. Guys, post some pics if you have a chance. How was the rest of the weekend (Saturday) at the track?

[Mick]

Here are some pics and videos. We had a great time drinking beer and watching the race from T5.

We did a an event with TGE on the following Monday-Tuesday. When we arrived the person at the gate was a little confused and made us do a lap around the track with the truck towing the 2 car trailer. I didn't think to grab the video camera until we were going up the back straight.

Nice shots, Mick. I ran my first ever SCCA race there this year at the North American National. Won in the rain. 125 mph in heavy rain, passing up the back stretch! Camera got drowned so no video.

Man, I'm so jealous! Would have loved to be there to watch and then have 2 days on-track. Next year!

Those Canadian fans take their racing pretty seriously, ay?

Haha, those two fools were going at it as soon as the race was over. I think I heard one guy called the other a fag, then they started wrestling. Go figure.

Ignorant people rule.

anyhow, it was great seeing you guys and I totally enjoyed dinner with y'all.

unfortunately, my Trackguys event ended on lap 5 of session 1, day 1 with a blown waste gate actuator diaphragm
A real bummer

BUT...I'm going all the way back again this weekend for the Kensai event on Labor Day! Who says this hobby isn't a sickness

Tommy, Id say you're diseased man!

It was good seeing you last weekend. I hope Stephanie enjoyed her ride, she seemed all excited afterwards! (somehow I have a feeling this is going to get interpreted...) At any rate, at least the car is all sorted now and ready to go.
