I second Henry's comments and can honestly say Mosport is the most enjoyable
event I run all season. There is more seat time than you can imagine and the
group is a great bunch of folks, there because they love their cars and
motorsport. Unlike other localles, it's more common to see racers arrive with
their families, a tent and an open trailer with the same old British lump
they've raced for the past 30 years. The track staff are also wonderful which
is a change from some of the attitudes and behaviors we experience on our own
side of the border at times. Achtung Ohio!
Theres a huge turnout for the weekend and a well attended vintage car show for
those interested. There is free camping and many campfires to be found in the
evening, each with a welcome and often a pint to be had. For those of you that
have never been there, go once and you'll be hooked. This is what true vintage
racing is about and VARAC's event is a model of what club racing can and should
be.

Hi gang,
I am sure everyone remembers back in 2003, we Triumph folk made the
border crossing to the North. Those who attended braved the nonexistant
SARS threat and were rewarded with a super weekend driving an incredible
race track.
I knew this event would become a permanent addition to my race schedule,
but last year's Gold Cup event conficted.
So this year I am going. The strong US dollar makes this an affordable
event, and the easy going Canadians make for a relaxed, enjoyable
weekend of racing. Tons of track time, US $340 entry for nonmembers,
$140 test day. This is the polar opposite of SVRA's Mid-Ohio event.
So who else is going? It is June 24 to 26.
