Vaughn, rest assured, we'll give you lots of opportunities to do all of
that stuff at Mosport this summer. In fact, we'll provide you with lots
takers on the annual "Vaughn Rockney McMosport Challenge" offer. Levy
heard about the "Challenge" and has promised to be there and you know what
a mooch he is!

I agree with Vaughn - the "traditional" track time plan is fine.
Any more can be hard work. Any less doesn't justify the entry fee.
What upsets me is when several "special" groups or events get added - often
for
no extra entry fee - and then the regular groups get short changed either
on
session time or by "dangerous" combined groups.
But I haven't given up yet!
