    Thanks everyone for the well wishes.

    Our F1200 & F1600 series here in Canada are really great to run in with lots of great competition which has helped me greatly learn & develop over the last three years. Each year our grids seem to continue to improve with highly skilled drivers which we should not lose sight of how good we have it.

    Also thanks to Greg, Carlos & Bill who have prepped great cars for me making my job easier.

    Thank you guys again & good luck Guy for this coming weekend, I will be cheering for you as well.

    Thanks I enjoyed COTA but to be honest we really have no idea how exceptional a track Mosport is.

    The facility was great at Cota as we rented a garage which kept us in the main paddock. The track is very techinical & extremely safe due to huge run off areas in almost every spot. That being said there are no high speed corners like we have at Mosport. The fastest corners at COTA are third gear corners but many are 1st gear corners. There is nothing like turn 2 or turn 8 or even turn 1 that Mosport offers at COTA.

    I am not saying COTA isn't a great track, just we need to really appreciate the track that Mosport is. Road Atlanta has a lot of likeness to Mosport...however Mosport is still the tops in my opinion.
