    In the 3 yrs. I attended, that day was the worst one. Believe there were 3 significantly damaged cars that day due to off track mis-haps, with the one you mention being the worst, including driver injury. I remember hearing from several experienced drivers that you had to be on your toes at all times @ Mosport...as it can bite you quickly. And if it's at all cool in the weather dept.....doubly so. Gotta make sure the rubber is good and warm before you really get on it.

    Don't worry, the exhaust fumes kill most of the bugs.

    Here's a near miss I had at turn 4. As I was approaching the turn in, the conga line ahead of me at turn 5 caught my attention and I turned in way too late. The suspension was unloaded at this point as I was going over the crest. Had wait for the car to come back down before turning in. My passenger turned a bit white.

    As former pro racer Tommy Kendall said while doing the colour commentary for the IMSA race at Mosport last year ... "if you don't get proper scared at least 4 times a lap around here, you're not trying hard enough" or words to that effect.

    Didn't look to bad in the video....good recovery :-). The only close call I had was in my 2nd yr. where I came off turn 10 and the back end of the Boss started to come around....heading me towards the pit lane concrete barrier! Got off the gas quick...and corrected, thankfully. Sphincter tightening moment for sure. My stock Pirelli P-zero's were a bit worn and a little cool (morning run) and it showed. Replaced them next season with Michelin Pilot Super Sports....they were impressive.

    My worst moment at Mosport came following a car down 2 . The driver decided it would be a good idea to get hard on the brakes mid-turn. I think I started breathing again at 5.
