Yesterday was my third track day this season and my second at Mosport. The event was Mustangs At Mosport and the cars were limited to Mustangs or any other Ford powered car. They had 45 cars ranging from a variety of Mustangs to 2 Ford GTs and 2 Cobra replicas.

Mosport is a 2.5 mile high speed circuit located about an hour from Toronto

There is a total of 10 turns including 2 tricky blind left handers and the famous Moss Corner, The large elevation changes add to the challenge. The straight is over a mile long.

The cars were split into three groups, slow, intermediate and fast, with each running 20 minutes in sequence. The entry fee was a bargain at $200 Cdn. Passing was limited to the back straight and then only if you were waved past.

My main objective was to improve upon my fastest time from the previous event of just under 2 minutes. I was able to cut almost 8 seconds off and got down to a best lap of 1:52.2 which is an average speed of about 79 mph.

The car ran like a charm and I felt very comfortable with it on the track.

Here is an interesting video clip from the morning's session



When I get a chance I'll post some more video.
