No problem Curtis. Try the Track is open to all bikes. It's more of a parade lap to get a picture of what the track is really like. There is a pace car. I'd like to see Ian's A7 out there! Hope to see ya there.

What's the top speed allowed ? A bit slower than we ride on the street... I'm just jealous guys, enjoy your weekend!

Sandra and I left Tweed about 8am. Dull cloudy misty morning but the sun was trying to come out. The sky looked good until near Peterborough then the clouds got thicker and the air cooler. Arriving at Mosport we noticed the clouds sat right over the area..lol. We helped with the bike show, managed to watch some racing including Rick on his Rig. Met Frame30. The gang was there. Drew,Pipewelder,Givr,Keith, Trevor.Carl. Lot's of interesting bikes at the race. Sadly I never got to make it around the pits. On the way home the skies looked ..well ummm nasty Hope it didn't rain on the guys.

Home safe and sound and no poutine was lost enroute! (inside joke ) Some pics: Ya, the sky was kinda grey: Rick wicked side hack: Cool h2 bits: Nice work on the Z1R: "Token" Honda: Pretty nice though. Fun couple of days even though it was cool and rainy for a good part of Friday. Many thanks to the boys that braved the weather and made it a great time.

I took a gazillion and a half pictures. Once I get through editing, I'll post a link, instead of cluttering up the thread.
A great weekend, the band on Saturday was brilliant. In spite of the dark clouds, it never rained Saturday either.

Was another great time. Good to see all who attended. The sunday racing was awesome. Wont do another try the track event. 25 bones for 2 laps was total crap..charity be damned. Got more speed and excitement driving to the campsite.

Sucks to hear they put the governors on but I'm not surprised. How much does it actually cost per season to race the VRRA or maybe there are open track days that make more sense? Funny, I was just looking into riding schools this morning... For $168, there is an introductory to racing course at grand bend, where you use your own bike. I'm guessing this would be money better spent. $25 to charity though, I guess that makes the parade lap worth it but I'd probably pass the pace car on lap #2 if he was lolly gagging!

About 10 years ago i remember the parade laps got out of hand so they had to put the dampers on it. (Insurance issues I believe)
Heres the basic costs to put a tire on the track taken from this past weekend at Mosport.
Mosport 3 days entry $30.00 Vrra one race membership $40.00 (75.00 year) Bike entry into one class $150.00 (late registration $200.00) Transponder rental $ 50.00 Race licence (insurance) $15.00

Thanks Paul... $50 for a transponder rental? Is that optional? Also $150 to enter the bike, is that for every race entered or an adder to the annual VRRA membership?
