Well here is one of the videos of the lapping event at Mosport Ontario. There are great shots of my feet, the real nice passenger airbag compartment and a few of the track. It is definitely not easy in a five point harness to take a video with a hand held digital still camera! I am having trouble uploading the other one to my photobucket but I will keep trying! I was riding shotgun in my buddy Elie's 98 SS that has a few minor modifications. :D He has also done solo events and drag racing. I had a blast. Once again, Sorry for the video quality. By the way, I am still smiling!

Lapping events are very additive and have been known toleave a perma smile on my face also.
Sounds like you had a very good time.

Hi Roy! I did have a blast. I can see where it can become addictive and very expensive. Saw what appeared to be a newly restored MG written off after only a few laps. :( You could read the expression on his face hours later, "What am I going to tell my wife!"
Is that you I saw on a site as newly registered. Can't remember which one, I am on so many! Not much help am I , anyhow if it was , welcome!

It is a great track and can be very tricky in spots, especially the first turn. Many accidents there. The Mosport Facility consistes of four different tracks I believe. Bikes also race there.
