I could have dove on the inside of him into corner 1 but because it was a gentleman's race, people drove to the track and home in their cars we were not suppose to do that.  Fun as hell!

Exactly my thoughts.  A few times I was saying "Stuff him!".  LOL.  But wise driving was the rule of the day for this event.

I think you did a great job...

Absolutely.

Poor mustangs, I lapped one guy twice.  But they were on :censor: tires.  There was a Mustang on slicks he qualified 6th or 7th I believe about 2 seconds behind me I didn't see him all race.

Very cool!!!!!!!!
What was cost of your day

$250 entry fee, about $100 in gas (I burned through 40 litres in 80km!  Tires and brakes cost money unknown.

It appears to much better value the walking around the to outside of the CN tower for $175

That's was cool...thanks for posting.

Those BMWs looked quite purposeful indeed.  If that was a stock Cayman (other than tires and rims), then I'm impressed.  You would have passed him long before if you didn't have to (gasp) shift for yourself.
If it flies, floats or f#%&s...rent it.
