I don't like the set up as neo described and it's more expensive than originally quoted, 2 laps for $25 instead of 3 laps for $20 and you have no idea what car you are gonna get in.

Thumper,

You have to remember this is for charity. And nothing is written in stone.
You might have to pay $25 for "3 laps" but alot of the times they go around longer than 3 laps. It really depends on the driver you have.
Also, not many people get the chance to ride in a sports/luxury car of their dreams. Especially at track speeds.

I hope this year we'll be able to see some more exotics come out to play. I know alot of the "regulars" will be there. But hopefully a few surprises will show up.

Thief,
Don't get me started on your car!!

I prefer car in highspeed, regardless of their brands in mosport.

Not very exciting doing 50km/h in a ferrari on the backstraight even though the sound is great...right?

Well, Al will be there. So you can hitch a ride with him to experience what it's like to have the car at race speed.
I doubt Al will turn you down.

The Speed 6 is every bit as fast as most high performance street cars and just as much fun to drive or ride in.

If there is an 8 going to be used for lapping I will go, other wise not going to bother. I drive an 8 so that's all I really care about other than the kids of course!!

I found your logic strange, but whatever floats your boat man...

I am going for the speed...since I've already experienced first hand with Al going after that Mazdaspeed Rx8 in my own stock car (with Mazdaspeed exhaust) in Mosport...and man I wish I could record the video but I was shitting my pants at the time lolz

You have experienced it and that is what I was looking forward to. I'm not to worried about the other cars, I have been in some fast one's at 300+km, just not an 8 kickin *** around the track. That's all.

Well I just got the official word, its going to be the Speed 6 at Mosport, can't get the RX-8. So I guess we wont see Thumper at Mosport, but hope some others come out to support the event, the weather is supposed to be great!

A couple of years ago I got 10 laps in a Ferrari since I was the last person of the day. Another time we must have lapped for 25 minutes because the driver was sick of dealing with little brats, and I indicated that I had the stomach for high speed. So we stayed out on the track and did a bunch of hot laps.

Thanks for all who came and supported this event. These kids may not see next year in their lives, but at least they had a thrill of a ride....

btw Thumper, the blue Rx-8 did showed up with the same driver. It was magical...I don't realize I can take those lines that fast (just like when Al showed his...alright it sound wired lol)

Regardless, I got a ride from Al's Mazdaspeed 6 as well, and then...some race cars...and then...OMGWTFBBQ FERRRRRRRRRRRRRARIIIII RACE CAR....

will have my report soon...peace out.

I really have to take a moment and thank Joshua for all his help! He has been awesome with his camera and my race team. Josh I really do appreciate all the early mornings and late hours you have put in and all your help with the ABR website! Josh was at the track with me at 830 this morning and stayed all day until 5! Thanks again for all your help!

Np Al, the honor is mine. This is always one of the things I want to do in life before I die...Motorsports activities.

I realized now why Ernest Hemingway said "Auto racing, bull fighting, and mountain climbing are the only real sports … all others are games." - at least for the Auto racing part. and yes, I am gonna try bull fighting eventually lol

Even though its too expensive for me, I found this racing on ZERO budget a very cool thing...and it grows me some ***** to admit that I drive like shxt so I can improve.

Anyway, I am still pissed off at the girl bailing me out for the cruise tomorrow... #$^@$%&^
