Default Mosport DDT Track Day...?

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if anyone knows of any upcoming DDT track days scheduled for 2012? Might still be early but wouldn't mind penciling in a few dates on the calendar. Last year I went with Touge.ca and it was always well organized and a blast. I'm not really interested in Shanny (due to distance) and I really am not particular to Cayuga (just don't really enjoy the track so much as DDT) so if anyone should hear of any, let us know.



Cheers guys,

p.s. - 15 degrees tomorrow and not a cloud in the sky.

I only brought a helmet. Track is beautiful. Great setting, even a little altitude change. Small enough that you don't need 1000hp to have fun and the twisteies really get one accustomed to handling characteristics of our cars. I only ran with Starspecs, HP plus brakes and springs as my only "mods" and that was as mcuh as I could handle for my 1st season with this car.

The DDT layout was actually built as a kart track, so it's pretty small. You won't need any special equipment. A helmet is mandatory - make sure it's Snell SA2010 certified. Don't cheap out in this area.

The track has a few corners with some roughed up pavement, but nothing major enough to damage your car or affect handling through those spots.

An S2000 in stock trim will hit around 140 km/h.

Ya, just FYI, he's talking about the DDT track, NOT the big track.

We still require helmet for DDT unless you have a hardtop.
