Cayuga (TMP) Advanced Driver Training Aug 20 or 27
Hi All,
Punko and I have gone out to this event and had a good time. We were pretty much the only guys out on the track for the entire morning. In the afternoon the exotic car tour showed up but I don't think this is the norm. If you are looking to get out on the track for the first time or like to drive with pretty much no one out there then Monday's are the best time to do so. The track also has good run off spaces, only one place to watch for but you can take that corner at 20km/hr (like I do) and have no issues. I usually can't go in the start of the month due to my work but would be able to make it out on August 20th or August 27th. It is a full day event (9am-5pm). Let me know if there is any interest and for what day. I will go out to one of these days regardless but would like to get some more Z4 guys out there. I do realize that it is on a Monday but that's what sick days are for http://www.torontomotorsportspark.com/raceway/adt.html The cost is $170 the Friday before and $200 day of. If you want an instructor then it's an extra $70. Gerry Low is the main instructor at the track. I went with Terry for my time out and he was pretty good. |

Hey Mirko,
Will you have an instructor this time or just lapping? When I was at Mosport I had an instructor which was great, but doing some laps alone is fun. Can we get some solo time if we buy the instructor package? P

You can go solo even if you opt for an instructor. I did a few runs with one and a few without. Not sure if i want an instructor this time, leaning towards solo lapping. It can bea game day decision. |

I can only do the 20th. Actually, if it rains it would be great to learn wet conditions, so I may still go.

I'll likely be at Mosport's driver development track this Sunday (19th) with Ian Law as long as I can find a helmet that fits ... and as long as I can fit my helmeted-head into the car.
The 20th may still work, but the 27th would be my preference to add some time between events. (either works, I'll go with what the group does) Last edited by flyzipper; 08-16-2012 at 12:18 PM.. Reason: changed date - 18th to 19th |

Info from Gerry:
"Cindy at the track collects the money and the HST has to be remitted. Sorry. Please give me your driver list by end of day on Friday and you and group can pay Cindy $192.10 in cash on the day". Can't avoid GST but can pay Monday for the $170+tax if I let him know who is going by this Friday. Saves a few bucks. Looks like the 20th works for more people. Hopefully you can make it out. Interested to hear how the event this Saturday you are doing went. |

Hey Mirko,
Some questions for you: Do we need a helmet? Do they have a place to eat lunch? Or should we bring food. What time will you go for? Do you want to meet somewhere and go together? P

To answer Mike's question since he has a convertible. Confirmed with Gerry that you need a helmet with a soft top. Gerry has one you can borrow. Quote:
I met Mark on top of the mountain (near airport) in Hamilton last time. At the intersection of Southcote Road and Book Road East at 8am. I was thinking maybe 8:30am this time around so I can sleep in a little bit longer. Doesn't take long to get from there to the track. I am game for meeting there again and rolling down together. |

Let me figure out where that is and I will get back to you. I think it should work. I am coming from the Forks of the Credit so 8:30 am is about the earliest I can do.

We got there around 9am last time and didn't get on the track until about 9:30-10am, took the staff a bit of time to get there. |
