[Fot] US racers heading to Mosport Tip 2

[Brian Schirano]

Nobody's mentioned the USD/CAD FX.  If there is such a thing, it would be
the "least expensive" race weekend you'll have. food and beer all weekend,
a Triumph / MG Challenge, (Henry is pretty good at winning that one.) Plus
a large fully paved paddock.

was there this year and will see you there in 25 and 26
Cheers mates
