Have to say that this event was a hell of a lot of fun. Not only did it take place at Mosport but it also took place on a Track :2thumb:
Alot of people called it "Solo 1.5" because it took place on a tight test track and still we had to go around cones! It was great fun. Sun was beating down on us all but everyone had loads of fun. Best even so far.

Also this was my first event on the R Compound Khumo V700 and what a difference. I cant imagen what the V710s are like. Everyone says that they are the cheat tire with phenominal grip. But thats maybe for next year :D
Tires performed great, My first run was more of a fun run then anything. I havent had the time to scrub the tires in so that was the time to do it.

Off the start the course was straight which had a slalom in it, at the end of the slalom i was in secound gear and a 90 degree left turn which went downhill. As i aproched that my rear end came out almost spinning off course and into the tire barrier. WHAT A BLAST :lol: j/k wasnt quite that dramatic and close but fun. As the day progressed my times got better but still not good enough to keep up with the top dogs in my class.

Here is a map of the course which let me get into 3rd gear!! Now thats rare.

And here are some pics i took from the event.
Even Jon stopped by for a little bit! Too bad Brent missed this event. He would have loved it!

thats awsome. Looks like it was pretty fun. Are the dots on the map cones ?

yea. altho they added more cones at the exits of the corners to prevent people from going off the track as that would most likely bottom out the car. Mind you the map is not to scale. THe course was alot bigger then it is shown on the map.

looks like they made the turns even tighter by putting cones on the apex :lol:

yea.. they were trying to keep down the speed since solo 2 is not supposed to exceed 100 KPH :D

I may have to sign up for the Regionals next year, just for that one event! It looked amazing! I've been on the DDT before, but that was before the Celica. It would be fun to give it another try.

Did you do a racing school on there or a solo 1 event? The DDT looks like it can be made into alot of different course setups.

Actually, it was just a lapping day. They used the whole track. I plan on taking a course at some point, though.
