BEMC / Challenge Cup - 1st Race @ Mosport (CTMP)

[nbrigido]

Just received word that the Chief of Tech for the event, will be able to provide annual SCCA tech for US cars. He is a licenced with SCCA to do so, and will sign off with an SCCA #.

The goal is to set aside a block of time for the FV/F1200 to do all the annuals at once going from PIT to PIT to make things easier than getting in line.

Any questions please fell free to reach out.

[WNYVeeRacer]

Great news ... I was a little concerned 'cuz I usually get my annual done at the 1st event of the year.
Does he take payment in "Blue" or "Golden" :-)

What are some recommended hotels near the track?

[JustDave]

The motorsportreg link above has a list of hotels in the area.

[nbrigido]

Near the track there is nothing. You will be about 15mins away in Bowmanville area. Where you will find a Hojo, Holiday Inn. As JustDave mentioned, there are a handful listed on the Reg page.

[nbrigido]

Reminder for all US drivers, the Cost on Motorsports Reg is in Canadian Dollars for the First event. Current Exchange rate is 27% so you are saving a bunch right now.

$1.00 US = $1.27 CDN

[Rolling Stone]

Great Fish & Chip shop in Bowmanville on KING Street not far from HOJO,always went to it after race day.

[Rolling Stone]

And its a nice country road kinda drive to Bowmanville too!which is enjoyable after a hectic day at the track

[old 59]

Peterborough is another option, it is about 20 minutes north of the track. There may be more decent rooms there than Bowmanville. Still another option, the Residence at Durham College/UOIT. Try Google.

[nbrigido]

Just to follow up on a question, there is no need to pre-pay for the event on Motorsportreg. The key is to get everyone registered.

Current indications it will be a 20-25 Car field for the first race.....

[nbrigido]

Posting the Provisional Schedule for the May 2/3 Weekend

FF/F1600 no points race has been added to the weekend. Going to be busy.

FV/F1200, last race is a 25min Race

[WNYVeeRacer]

Would one be able to purchase fuel at the track... or should I just be sure I bring up a couple cans full ?
Thanks
Dennis

[rcarmody]

Dennis they do have fuel at the track. they did when I was there last year. Not sure of the cost trina paid for it.

[G.B.]

Ray’s right, there is fuel at the track, but it is very expensive.

[Bob VanDyke]

Ray’s right, there is fuel at the track, but it is very expensive.

But it's in Canadian dollars, so it's practically free for Americans!

[WNYVeeRacer]

Thanks for all the reply's -- I guess I'll bring some, but not an excess amount.

I gotta say tho-- Ray's response made me LOL -- A Lucky man to have Trina on his team !!!

[rcarmody]

We have sixteen cars entered now and I know of 4 more that are coming that would put us at 20 hopefully more will enter looks like its going to be a good field.

[Rolling Stone]

Good weather forecast so far for the race W/E......No rain & even better NO SNOW.....Dont laugh!!!few years ago we arrived at track on a Sunday morning and the cars had snow on them

[JustDave]

Your right, that's not funny. I remember way back in the '80's a first race weekend of the year being cancelled due to an 8" snow blanket covering Mosport. (or was that the 70's)

[Steve Bamford]

You're up to twenty entries already! Likely some last minute entries as well so congratulations to all involved in helping to grow the grid.

[derminator]

I agree Steve, the support we have had from so many people has been very encouraging and we're looking to grow the series in coming races. Thanks to everyone, the racing this weekend should be exciting. Just wish I was running.

Steve,

Great name for the series"GROW THE GRID"

[Rolling Stone]

For US drivers.................Temps for Sat/Sun at MOSPORT approx. 64 F sunny

[nbrigido]

I think we are looking at possibly 6 more entries. So a field of 26 cars for this weekends race will be outstanding.

Thank you to everyone and their efforts making this come together.

I will have details on FV tech times within the next day or so. Will post the info.

[nbrigido]

Have spoken to Chief Tech for the Event.

There will be a FV/F1200 only TECH session at 4pm Friday. No need to bring cars up any earlier. They will set-up a line specifically for us. Please instruct if you would like a CASC or SCCA tech, as both will be available.

Thank you to Mike and His team for making these arrangements.

Good Luck to everyone

[fvhopeful]

Thank you to Noel and Mike

[WNYVeeRacer]

Thanks for the heads up on the tech--
I hope to get there mid-day on Fri ( If I can survive towing past Toronto ;-)

Much appreciation to all for making this as comfortable as possible for all us visitors from the south !

See ya soon.

dennis

Oh a thought just came to mind -- Anne said registration should open at 5:00........... can we do the tech with just the car, equipment & logbook... prior to registering ?

[G.B.]

Thanks for the heads up on the tech--

A wise move! Toronto traffic on a Friday afternoon / evening is brutal.

The Sunday evening drive back can be pretty painful too.

[Ed Womer]

Coming up with Dermot on Friday and can't wait to have some good beer and see everyone. It looks like the start of a great series and I hope it continues for the year. See ya on Friday evening.

Ed

Ed the president of Manatee Motorsports
Was wondering what your beverage
Of choice is

[nbrigido]

New Schedule coming out in shortly. Big changes in the Race times for the FV/F1200's.

[Ed Womer]

Des, I guess Labatt's Blue would be a good choice.
