[Fot] From your event chair - our Return to Mosport is in the books

[yellow04 at tr4racer.com]

Bill, no doubt you and Peyote are sorely missed by our paddock of the 
great unwashed!

I too am pleased that our gang behaved quite well under tenuous 
circumstances. It takes a very special person to master Mosport in a 
handful of laps, and while I truly believe our talent pool runs pretty 
deep, there is no substitute for experience at that track. I have had 
championship winning Mini drivers come up to me asking how do I gain on 
them in turn 2, it's like getting to Carnagie Hall... Practice. OK, and 
confidence in your equipment. And that third t... Oh, never mind!

As to turn 8, I think I have raced Mosport at least 20 times, a couple 
of sessions I have really focused hard on carrying more speed through 8. 
Hasn't helped yet!
