Count me in. Got a bet going with some fossil in a cobra. :stickpoke:

[Armen]

Yup.

[Gabe]

Yup, absolutely!! For both

[Mustang4]

Me too.
This time I'm booking the dates off as soon as we have them.

[Ger]

Definitely in here. Would be good to have three in total. Sometime is summer.

[1BAD92LX]

No not at all..... just let me know when and where they are. Oh, and more the better.

[98 Snake]

Absolutely the more the better

[Gr8Stang]

Mosport Grand Prix track?

[RedSN]

Only if the weather is nice ....but not too nice.

[fast Ed]

Mosport Grand Prix track?

Would have to try to book a date now (and maybe still not get one), and have people put down their dollars now as well ... not cheap to rent. Would be better off to tag on to one of the existing events there.

[1BAD92LX]

^^^would be in for this. Get a group together to go to an existing event. Things like this are better when you know people there.

[ZR]

^ I'd be down for that as well.

[fast Ed]

Probably mentioned here before, best value for a Mosport GP event is going with the Toronto area chapter of the BMW club at their 2-day schools. Their chief instructor is Derek Hanson, and many of the in-car coaches are guys I know who also help at events put on by Derek's son Peter. You will get proper classroom sessions and in-car coaching included with the entry price.

They have their 2020 dates posted up now. In Canada there are 4 at the Mosport GP circuit and 1 at Calabogie:

Some info on their events here, note that you do need at least an SA2010 rated helmet ... M rated motorcycle lids are not accepted.

I would definitley like to go this time.

[johnny5]

I would be interested depending on the day.

[hammerhead]

I would be interested depending on the day.

likely a weekday so save a holiday...!

[ZR]

Can pretty much guarantee it'll be a weekday.

[newbiestangowner]

I have sick days available - and if I keep the helmet on all day , well you’ll know why:) not because I love wearing it

I am in for joining this group if the club decides to go this route, speed therapy is another group I have been recommended to check out for Mosport GP days, they have a number of them through the season

[1BAD92LX]

Do they have an updated schedule for 2020?

[Gabe]

Nothing yet on the website

https://www.speedtherapy.com/2019-event/

[fast Ed]

Speed Therapy is the people from JRP in Oakville. From what I've heard they put on decent days, never been in attendance myself. The price isn't bad for a one day event, and from what I read on the site they will provide in-car instruction for the novice "B" group ... never a bad idea at Mosport.

[ZR]

We had hoped to have spring n fall dates to announce at Joes open house on Sat but no confirmation from the track as of yet. We are however aiming for (don't hold me to it until we know for sure) early June and late August.
More details as I have em.

[ZR]

I'm happy to announce for the first time ever we have track dates before the New Year.

LOCATION

Toronto Motorsports Park (Cayuga) Road Course

SPRING

Thursday June 11

FALL

Thursday August 27

In response to feedback from those attending, we've been able to secure earlier dates for both. Thanks again to the whole crew at DaSilva Racing for making this happen. Don't be shy about calling them to reserve your spot, yes even this early.

[fast Ed]

Do they have an updated schedule for 2020?

Looks like these guys have their 2020 dates set now:

https://www.speedtherapy.com/2020-events/

Those dates are now in my calendar.
Now I need to get that helmet!!

I think a speed therapy day is the way to go for Mosport. We should see if we can agree on a date and attend as a group. We'll turn their event into a mustangs at Mosport lol

[Ger]

On my calendar. Will be calling DaSilva ASAP.

Maybe St Thomas dragway day ? Track refurbishment spring 2020. Grudge match...????

[bbriann]

I can only drive straight...as possible.

[ZR]

As of now, not able to make a viable deal work to have both tracks but still working on it plus other options.

I am in for this as well (ST/ Mustangs at Mosport), let’s get a date or two picked and will sign up

[WidowrRacing]

Maybe St Thomas dragway day ? Track refurbishment spring 2020. Grudge match...????

I would definitely be down for this!

TMP is closer and a nicer drive for me BUT I’m glad to hear St. Thomas is getting updated and would gladly make the drive for a Grudge event.

[1BAD92LX]

I was thinking the July 10th date. Have TMC track days in June and August and mosport track day in July

Starting shortly, we will be running an early registration bonus draw until the end of Feb.
Trust me, you won't wanna miss it.

ALL PRE REGISTERS IN THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY WILL BE ENTERED INTO A DRAW FOR A FREE TRACK DAY! THAT'S RIGHT, FREE!

[ZR]

Copied details here so we can keep thread in DaSilva forum clear to add additional details that may have been buried in the chatter.

Why would someone register early, for sure cool if your the lucky draw winner n end up with a track day for free but most important reason is to show we as a club are serious about seeing events like this continue in the future. To those that hold out till the absolute last second or day of and don't go because it's dismal looking in Toronto, you've missed out on some of the very best days we've ever had. Once and only once in all the years we've done track days has there been a full rain out but for those that didn't venture out it would look like we've had a bunch of em, not true. Several times we've arrived to it raining like hell only to have the clouds clear a short time later and within an hour or so out on a dry track having the time of our lives.
Even in the rain last spring, we had one hell of a good time. On slicks so track time was a no go for me but had a blast out there enjoying the Track Pack II cars the good folks from BlackStock Ford brought along for all of us to sample. Add to that chit chat with friends followed by surviving a lil track food and life was plenty damm good.

[Ghost Rider]

and it's a day not working :shrug:

[ZR]

Exactly that.

[StAnger]

Now that I don't have a roll over waiting to happen, I might actually be interested in this.

[Hutch]

I'm in. Which day are we going?!!!

I’m interested in this also. I was looking at doing at track day with ST last year. I just hope it doesn’t fall on when we are away on vacation. I also REALLY want to get down to drive Watkins Glen

[ZR]

Track day, you registered yet?

[mavrrrick]

God I love dat WHINE!!!!

[fast Ed]

For those interested in Watkins Glen, here is a link to the info for a 2-day event in June run by some friends from Rochester, I've coached at it a few times. This is an offshoot from an event that the Shelby club in western New York used to put on, so typically there are lots of Fords in attendance and nice folks who love Mustangs and Shelbys.

https://www.motorsportreg.com/events/glen-event-series-2020-watkins-international-phoenix-cmr-459849

The Glen is about a 4-1/2 hr drive from the GTA. You may be able to do one day only at this event, not sure. This is a beautiful area of New York, and the facility and the track itself are top-notch. The circuit is much like the Mosport GP track, except it's another 3/4 mile longer!

Called and signed up for June 11th. Bring it on

[hsousa88]

Need to get my ass out there this year.. had a good excuse last year but nothing this time around. Think I’ll trailer the fox this time. Which means it will probably break.

saw a glimpse of your Fox recently would be really nice to see it out - hopefully I will make it....!

[ZR]

Good morning,
Received a couple of pm's asking if June date is still on, at this point we honestly have no idea but are most certainly looking to see it a go if things start to open back up by then.
Stayed tuned, we will update as soon as we know more.

[fast Ed]

Yes hopefully we're through the worst of this soon enough that the June date can be confirmed. I was going to help at a few April and May dates for Hanson and DriveTeq but those have been kiboshed of course.

[Jack Raccoon!]

I'm off the June date. Won't drive but hopefully come out to say hi..

[Stephen06GT]

I'm off the June date. Won't drive but hopefully come out to say hi..

Can we use you and the C8 for a pace car?

[Jack Raccoon!]

I hope to have it in time to buy snow tires...

[StAnger]

Guess I'd better get a steering rack and some new bushings and endlinks before June.

[ZR]

Things are starting to look up, will post when we know more.

Today the Ontario Government announced the Stage 1 plan to reopen Ontario. Great news for all of our drag race and road course teams, TMP will be able to open effective Tuesday May 19th. We will have more information coming shortly. In the meantime prepare yourselves, we are almost ready to race.

Seems logical since everyone is in their cars.....and just need to keep your distance when you're outside waiting your turn.

[Zippy]

It's incredible that this might actually open and we'll have events there. The way it was looking a month ago... I was betting we weren't going to have any events. Fingers crossed covid numbers don't increase while things slowly reopen.
I'm excited to drive my own car on the track for once!

[Armen]

I wonder how the first post-Covid open lapping day went at TMP yesterday...?


http://www.torontomustangclub.ca/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=20619&d=1590078013

[fast Ed]

Doesn't sound like it went well! All that pent-up frustration, people were likely driving more aggressively than they usually do at those TMP-run days.

[Armen]

Wow...

https://www.facebook.com/502343238/posts/10157118200063239/?d=n

Multiple contact crashes, car fires and fist fights.

Not even kidding.

[1BAD92LX]

Great, ruin it for every one else.

[Armen]

This all happened in one day apparently! It’s almost unbelievable.

[Gabe]

A friend of a friend was there, sent me some pics of the Z06 burnt to the ground.
Sounds like it was total chaos

[newbiestangowner]

Crazy- i was thinking of attending quite a few open track days since I have some time now and I'm not too far-if anything like that shait show maybe not :crying:

[Armen]

It’s at a time like this that I’m reminded of just how awesome the people at TMC are who volunteer and organize the TMC/Dasilva track day events each year.

Without the Rick, Ross, Stephen and all the rest over the years, it would not have been as well done or as safely done.

Thanks, TMC crew.

[fast Ed]

Exactly Chris, they've tweaked it a bit every year and it's gotten better each time. Maintaining control over the proceedings is obviously the key!

[Gabe]

I would also say making sure people check their “ive got the biggest d***” egos in the lanes plays a big part of it. TMC does a great job of making it about a fun day with cars and fellow car hobbyists.

[Zippy]

TMP just posted on there instagram that there will be zero tolerance moving forward for this type of stuff. I'm sitting here thinking... how wasn't that already in place?

[Stephen06GT]

Seeing the Facebook posts and videos shook me a bit. We've always had a "check your ego at the gate" policy and then we borrowed this from Fast Ed and his years as an instructor, "Just because your car is fast, doesn't mean you are". I hope our day goes smoothly.

[Stephen06GT]

Quite a bit of carnage, I saw Armen’s ig post , too bad for those involved

[ZR]

Hard to imagine so much could happen in one single day.

[Hutch]

TMP just posted on there instagram that there will be zero tolerance moving forward for this type of stuff. I'm sitting here thinking... how wasn't that already in place?

EXACTLY. I saw someone commented that TMP had a marshal there. So asked what where they doing?? Sleeping? It fairly easy to see that kind of stupid driving and yank the car/driver and send them packing.

[Whitehot]

Recipe : take a bunch of young people (probably) with to much $$. Spend it all on they re cars.Put them in lock down for a month or so (prob more) . They watch all the Fast & Furious movies a few times . Open up the track a little late, and attendance is good because they re not at work or school. Don t have, enforce lapping Day Rule at the track = Pandemonium at the Track!! It s really sad that this happened, I really hope this doesn t ruin things for everyone... Side effects of this BS could be poor for the good guys and costly also :(

[ZR]

Thank you for the kind words guys. The credit goes to everyone who gives up a big piece of their day to help out with the event, it's a larger group vs what most realize, we all rock. Next and equally important, great group of people attending.
I totally get at least some would prefer we skipped the drivers meeting (or at least ditch the old guy n hire a super model) but it and the guidelines we tweak are in place to make the day smoother for all of us. As in the past, suggestions are always welcome.
The idea to have no passing in the Rookie group has netted 100% positive feedback. First few times out on the track you have enough on your hands without having to watch for approaching cars, remember which side they are allowed to pass on then signalling. Combine that with being able to easily cycle off n on the track if your holding up or being held up by others and a big chunk of the first time out stress is gone. Never gets old seeing the perma grin from rookies to the event coming off for the first time.

[Screw]

Seemed like a shit show from the posts I saw , “fast & furious “ tards

[ZR]

Same as the ones doing the ridiculous donut antics in city street intersections n streets.

I hope TMP gets there shit together. I was really looking forward to going to these open lappings days...

[ZR]

I was planning on attending at least every second Monday this year, feel same as above. Want to be there so bad it hurts but in the same breath, not looking to be part of that kinda shiat show. I assume it's still Mitch doing Marshall duties. Great guy to work with, he's normally very straight forward with whats ok and whats not.

[1BAD92LX]

Too many fucktards there for one guy to handle

[fast Ed]

That's true, they really should have at least one other marshal station on a course that size ... when you're at the opposite side of the track to the pit in / out area, most people are not going to see what the flagger is signalling. Mosport DDC is a similar length and most events there run with a pit marshal plus 2 on track.

[1BAD92LX]

Us road course guys pay a fair amount of money, granted the track is open to use as much/little as you want.
Drag strip guys seem to pay pennies compared, and get an army of track prep people and timing
I wouldn't want to be the guy throwing out really pissed off people that just caused damage to multiple cars.
9/10 times one guy is enough if every one behaves, just not this time

It’s simple though. State it up front that you follow the rules or your kicked to the curb with no refund. Those idiots will learn really quick. I’m sure stupid driving was happening long before the smash up derby.
Oops. This meant to be a reply to Brads post, not Ed’s.

I been out there with other groups during the week and it’s been great. Once was with a viper club and those guys where awesome. Super welcoming and happy to see me out there in my fox mustang (few years ago)

[UnlimitedTraction]

I was there on Wednesday and the session from 12-4 was fine. When these assholes came though, they were ignoring red and black flags, driving past cars during a yellow and red....dive bombing...a complete disregard for other people...I just parked my car and watched in disbelief at these morons.

[Zippy]

I'd love to be a marshal at a open lapping day. I think it would be funny telling someone driving like a retard to take a hike. Thanks for the $180... have a nice day.

Wow, that's crazy, if I was participating I would have done the same then tell the track to either maintain discipline or give me a partial refund. Glad to hear you were able to stay away from them.

[fast Ed]

Just remembered a story some of the guys at WNNOTC have heard ... I was there at a weeknight lapping maybe 10ish years ago when I had a crapper Taurus SHO for a track day car. Met some guys from the Ontario SHO club at TMP to hang out and turn some laps. While I was out bombing around, I got dive-bombed in the braking zone for turn 6 (the tight 120 degree left-hander) just before I was about to turn in. Luckily for the dude in the newish 911 making the pass, I typically do one last mirror check as a habit from racing before turning the wheel. I only had to wait another second or two and he was by, but I was thinking that there likely would have been some crying on his part if my rusty old crapcan had pranged his shiny machine. LOL

I’ve never understood this. Road course gets zero prep and zero supervision yet costs more. Drag racers would go absolutely ape shit if they didn’t get any track prep, timing, increased fees, ....or any combination of the aforementioned.

[Zutz2v]

How much are the fees roughly for a track day ?

Club track day held by our partner
$130 pre registered
$160 at gate

TMP website lists open track days ranging for $140-180
$80 from 5-9 briefly from what I saw
- gas station 5-10 mins in town - no 93 or 94 , or jet fuel ; whatever you guys with fast cars are running- so bring your own if that’s the case.

If this is your first road course event I suggest you attend one of our club days- the circus show doesn’t exist there! The flag men will make sure of that lol
Three running groups , freedom to join each group.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200524/386460eed1226718e6ef72130af5fe74.jpg

Plus it’s a great learning experience- plenty of experience there, plenty of ride ons available. And rides alongs, plenty of track time- sometimes you’re out there alone!!! Everyone talking having a good time in the pits :)

Overall a fantastic day!

How much actual track time do we get vs the drag strip. How many years of strip time do you think it will take the average drag racer to equal one session on the road course?
Not such a bad deal all of a sudden.

[RedSN]

If you count the staging lanes ....about the same ;)

To reduce contact at the gate, we are asking everyone to please call DaSilva's and pre register over the phone.

Extremely busy at DaSilva's, if you are having trouble getting through, please try again.

When is the last day to register? I thought I saw something, but can't find it now.

Up to the day before the event I believe. But their phone line is busy, so don't wait to try until then!

Just a question! But when you do the track stuff, are you racing against people physically or is it time trials ? Essentially I just want to know if I’m risking smashing my own car

No it’s a track lapping session, go as fast as you are comfortable.
No one keeps official time, no passing in Rookie/ New group, and only 2 passing zones for intermediate/advanced group AND passing only permitted in those groups when driver being passed signals to do so( so both drivers on the same page)

For this years event you can only have passengers in your car that show up with you because of covid.

For people riding in the car, you both must either be wearing a helmet, or both not wearing a helmet.
Windows should be all the way up or all the way down.

If you've never been to a open lapping day event, going to one that is run by us is the best thing to do to get your feet wet. Like Newbie was saying, there is a Rookie group where beginers are learning the track and learning to drive there car at speed.
Rookie group has ZERO passing zones so you don't have to worry about someone passing you. People using there head and distance themselves accordingly to avoid contact.
If you feel like you are being held up by someone infront of you... all you do is come back to PIT OUT and rejoin in open track.

I believe the rules is without a roll bar in the car, you have to have a helmet in a vert. Don't quote me on that, maybe one of the other track admins can chime in.

Morning Guys.
Yes helmets have always been a must for verts.

Spent the day at TMP yesterday with the Focus RS club, fantastic day, very much looking forward to TMC's day coming up.

Those Focus RS's are very impressive

Motorcycle helmet is not ideal for automotive use anyway ...

For occasional usage they'll suffice, but there are proper automotive-rated helmets that are constructed differently. Changes to the way they would handle multiple impacts as if you were getting bounced around inside a car, as well as the fire retardant properties of the liner material.

Probably going to be tough to buy a helmet these days I would imagine.
If you know the size of helmet you are looking for, you can probably order one online. When I was looking, Amazon had free shipping on most name brand road racing helmets. A couple hundred bucks gets you on track and it's something you only really need to replace every 5-7years depending on usage.

registered

Rules page says must be a SNELL rated helmet, which only the more expensive motorcycle helmets are.

None of mine are SNELL rated so i'll have to pass one this one. Maybe next time.

[fast Ed]

I'm sure Rick will chime in to confirm, but in the past at this event I would say that people might have run with lesser rated helmets ... only speculating though. TMP staff won't be checking helmet ratings, this event gets run by the TMC volunteers.


cheers

Verts.
Yet so see anyone from the track confirm beyond yes you have a helmet on, Mosport was the same.

[Armen]

TMP is helmet. Mosport you need a helmet and a proper roll bar for verts.
