Mosport International Raceway

[Frank Ewald]

Hi Kieran,
This is MIR which is also known as the Big Track and the Grand Prix  
Track. All are the same thing. Track layout is shown on my website -  
but at MIR there is only one layout.

Mosport also has the rinky dink track - which is still a fun,  
technical track - that is called the Driver Development Track or  
Centre. Also referred to as the old karting track. Then Mosport has a  
new kart track and it has an oval. I have had events at both - and  
later this summer will probably have an event at the DDC. The date is  
the weekend of the US holiday weekend - I just don't know if your  
holiday is on the Friday or the Monday. It's the Friday right after  
Canadian's holiday Monday.

You've shared your track and instructing experience with me  
previously. You'd need a ride-along for a few laps to be signed off  
and then you'd be set for the day. This would NOT require any  
additional fees, unless you chose to have a coach for the day.

Right now I've got a full slate of coaches with a waiting list. I  
will keep you in mind and I'm envious of anyone who has a track that  
just ten minutes from their house. I'm two hours from any track!

Frank
