<html><head></head><body>For those who aren't following the timing via the link Henry provided, practice and qualifying went pretty well on Friday. A number of drivers figured out the proper line and broke out from thier timing group. So, now there's a bunch of Triumphs in Group 1 and under 1:45 with Henry at 1:41, Tim Cook at 1:42 and several in the 1: 43s.<div><br></div><div>As Henry and others indicated, carrying the "MO" in just a couple spots makes a big difference in laptime... a few drivers will need wheelbarrows after this weekend. </div><div><br></div><div>My overall impression to this point would be that Mosport is a fast momentum circuit but it's pretty obvious that it can bite hard if you get it wrong. While the old turn 2 was interesting to watch when the runoff was unpaved, the generous paved outside area gives some comfort that there's somewhere to go if you go in way too hot. Same for turn 8.</div><div><br></div><div>But I have to say that the racer attitude here is very good and every one seems to want to help and provide suggestions and support. Folks are really friendly. </div><div><br></div><div>Today we run the Kastner Cup race at 1 30, and there's definitely a handful of candidates for the Cup.</div><div><br></div><div>Last tidbit - Kieth Files and his wife Louisa were walking around the Triumphs paddock yesterday and it was a real treat to chat with them!</div><div><br></div><div>OK, time to go check the car. More "l8r"</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br><br><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user"><div style="font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 13px">---------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>

Kind of feels like Watkins glen, except there are more rapid elevation changes and some really challenging corners. I say mostly because the pavement is surprisingly not great.
