2009 Svtoa Redline At Mosport Int'l - Gabriel - 09-29-2009

I have a few pics taken at the SVTOA event that took place at Mosport International this month and I thought about sharing them with you . The big track was an awesome experience for me . Ken had been there before and it showed . We had great weather , great instructors , a great experience . Here we go :

1. Getting ready

3. Chasing Cobras . And managed to pass one ... believed or not

4. Chased by Ken . Not for long ... I managed to pass him uphill on the back straight but then he was faster through the turns . Passed me and never caught up with him again . More experience makes a diference . Believed it :ph34r:

A few shots from the passenger seat during parade laps, just to give you a taste of the elevation changes on the track:

Actually that's a double twist...

Let someone try to unscramble that :lol:

Yup, which lead to the car behind me coming up to me later saying that they thought I was going to drop the camera more than a few times as I was fumbling around trying to get a decent shot.

Everything worked well . I used the same Adaptive One pads that I had before buying the ones ( Satisfied ) that gave me trouble at Cayuga . These don't fade when hot , actually the hotter the better , as long as the brake fluid stays ... fluid :D . Also they don't heat up as much as OEM's and there's less dust . But IMO Mosport Int'l is not hard on brakes . No comparison with DDT .

Tell that to the driver of the Ford Flex :ph34r: :lol:

Mine turned an interesting shade of blue (Ford OEM 26K on 'em) after a few runs once I started getting the hang of things.

I can only imagine what they would have done had I not chickened out and kept the hammer down in the back straight to the top of the second rise :P

Well that was interesting , the Flex is pretty much an SUV , doesn't it ? And the rules said no trucks and suv's . They maybe forgot to mention "except if you're Dixie Ford's owner and a sponsor ". Yes he was talking about brake fade on the Flex .
