Unhappy Mosport April 11-13 Cancelled

I just received word from John Dimoff:

Mosport is cancelled.

Something about 5" of ice on the track. I'll keep you posted if I get any additional information.

Supposed to be 15 degrees on Friday -- worried it won't melt by then? Ice race anyone? Alex will be navigating for me in the Spring Runoff rally on Saturday so the snow tires are still on.

Yeah, I saw the weather report and it looks promising. I guess because Mosport is such a large scale event--some 300 people have to be notified well enough in advance, many who also travel up from the US.

New Date:

The new date for the April 11-13 school is--brace yourselves:

October 24-26.

Yes, October. At which time we will probably have 2" of snow on the track...

This just keeps getting better and better.

Bummer... I was really looking forward to having the MCS on the track. Oh well.

There is another Mosport day with Kennedy HiFi which is coming up. I dunno how safe its going to be but it should be okay for the more experienced drivers.

Sheesh, that is a little late. Shawn, at least this way you can get S50/52 into the Ti and I can get the HalTech sorted.

I'm glad I signed up for May 17-18 at Watkins Glen. I've already signed up for May/June and September at Mosport.

There's some Shannonville days with the Saab club, one coming up soon on April 24th I think.

Raven Performance first TMP (Cayuga) day is early May, I think.

Kevin: Do you have any info on this Kennedy HiFi day--sounds like a disaster waiting to happen...but I shouldn't be so quick to pass judgement.

Do you think we could just sneak in?

Actually if it's anything like my driveway there are places in the shade where it won't melt till July

I wish.

Mosport is famous for having it's own environment, so there's a good chance that there is still a lot to melt up there.
