Cleveland Mazda 6
Toronto Mazda 3

I am most likely in.
I emailed him about the details and they are still sorting things out, but once more people show interest things will fall into place. What he told for sure, is that there will be groups and at most there will be 10 cars on the track (3km) at any one time.

Rockstar:
Lapping time is 9-5 yes...a full 8 hour day
Any vehicle shape or size is permitted
Gecko:
Helmets are only required on convertables.
Paypal is the only current method, but you can send a cheque/money order directly to me if you wish.
Alrib:
Instruction is being arranged...it may or may not happen, at this pioint we are kkeping our fingers crossed that it will. But yes novices are welcomed. Many of us are track "virgins" in my club...which is why we want to go and learn.
It will be divisional groups. The lapping details are still trying to be worked out as Mr.Bangle confirmed.

$50 for the additional driver is excellent...I was thinking of bringing my g/f. Would she be able to run my 8 in with the novice lappers, and then I can go out with the more experienced runners? or would that just be a logistical nightmare?
Also, when I am running can I bring my g/f as a passenger? I've been to a couple of lapping days at mosport and sometimes they allow passenger sometimes they don't.
Thanks.

For most first timers, they dont usually have halmets, and I believe for most experience drivers they will bring their halmet regardless.
Well, I think I'm in for the day.. maybe I'll bring my 8 and my Speed 6 if I have a second driver to bring the car down to the track.

Climacus....I'm merely replying to the post. Toronto Motorsports does NOT require a helmet unles the car is a convertable. The choice is the individual driver's. Myself included, are track virgins, and are going for a day of fun....being once in a blue moon....the cost for a helmet is just not worth going to the track.

deposits can be paypalled to tm6.accounts.1@torontomazda6.com
there is a lot less interest in the different forums and clubs than we anticipated. In the event we can not get a full 30 to attend we may have to look at a half day rental, and the rates will be reduced.
If we can not get 14 people the event will have to be cancelled.
Deposits are due by tommorrow evening.

I would love to attend, only as a spectator though.

we are sorting the fees out as we speak. doing what we can on our end. I'm working hard at this because I don't want people to be caught off guard.
Honesty is the best measure....or so I've been taught...and thats all I'm trying to bring to you guys.
As of right now...the meet is in a re-scheduling state.

No problem CLaman.
But I think I should ask this for everyone's benefit. How and who should I contact IF I pay my deposit tomorrow, and then the event is rescheduled on a date that I am not available, and would require a refund of my deposit?

It's with regret i have to inform you all...
Event has been suspended. I didn't receive enough deposits to run the event.
The deposit I have received is being returned.
Terribly sorry guys, I was really hoping to get this one off the ground. Maybe next time.
I really appreciate all of the interest you folks showed...but even in my own club where we've been discussing this for months, nothing was sprung forward.
