Track Days In Ontario?
So where do most people take their cars? Interested in seeing some members on the track. I usually just go with Touge or Kplayground but getting bored of racing civics, lol. Is there a list of track dates somewhere where bimmerpost members go?

Hey Shereef...
I've been looking too, I was considering Apex. They have a lot of Mosport dates on their schedule. IIRC it's mostly P-cars. The rest of July is messy for me; I'd really like to get out in Aug & Sept. Trillium is the other option in Sept.

^ yes, I know people that have experienced JRP 1st hand.
I won't be going out with them. I haven't booked it yest but I'll probably do the Trillium weekend in September. I'd like to get a bit more instruction in addition to just lapping.

I was thinking about it, but not sure if I'll have my car ready by then.
I see this is @ the DDT not the GP track. For those that have been, what's it like?
