Well....I had a meeting with the people from IMSG about our Mosport event June
6-8.
A. They're very ggod to work with and want to keep very good relations with all
the
local clubs who use Mosport as their home track.
B. They won't divulge any of their plans - officially,
I think that shaving down the hump at the top of the back straight and building
the
chicane on the back straight is about as much as can be accomplished this year.
The eventual plan IMHO is to widen the pits and pit lane...but that means
moving the
front straight north and reconfiguring corner 10 - it could be too ambitious
for this
summer
