Very nicely put together dude ..... hats off .

[Aslak Vind]

Yeah, and colors and all

Right on. That weather link's gonna be key - I've been to one all-dry weekend in the last 7 years, and this is the rainiest summer on record here in southern Ontario.

I cannot wait - this race is a fixture of my summer, even though I no longer live in Toronto I still take the train back to meet my dad for the race. I'll probably cross paths with a few people on this board over the weekend without knowing it, especially those who are down at Moss Corner.

Black Swan will be at Sebring testing instead of Mosport.

Tim Pappas has previously stated he feels Mosport is too unsafe- they skipped last years' round in their Porker. Personally they've made the track just fine.

I'll miss this years' round as the wife and I are getting ready to move to Scotland in 6 weeks

[cmk]

I am hereby stating that Tim Pappas is a sissy. OK, that's unfair, but nobody has seriously complained about the track, to my knowledge, since BMW in 2000. They've put those horrid catch fences up at 2 and 5 to ruin our view and everything, so what can one whine about now? Anyway, as said, no real loss on the competition front.

[Mosport Fan]

I'll second that, cmk.

Even last year he had Borcheller driving for him, and I know Terry loves Mosport.

Hopefully!!

[cmk]

And Mosport loves Terry too. I remember that, during the heyday of the Konrad Saleen, he got almost as big an ovation at Moss as Big Ron did after the race. Pity that Borcheller fans won't have quite as much to cheer for this year.

PS: If I was as productive as HORNDAWG on mind-altering concoctions of meds, I would not have a ton of papers to read and assays to plan still hanging over my head!

[HORNDAWG]

Well Risi has Friesacher in the #61 car with Brix, and Burgess will share with McMurry at Autocon.

Mosport gathering -

There will be an official gathering at the steps up to the tower from the paddock on Friday, August 22nd at 7pm. (Normally this is where IMSA/ALMS setup their hospitality tent) This will include members of the ALMS official forum, Speed TV forum, ten-tenths forums and Facebook. We are likely to have representatives of the series, and will work on some team people as well. This gathering will be followed by a group track walk. Come on out and meet some fellow online fans of the American Le Mans Series.

[cmk]

I am usually trying to kick it out asap in the evenings (my dad and I commute from Toronto), but I will work on staying, cause that sounds like an excellent idea, Fogelhund.
