I notice this a lot especially in Woodbridge. The Italians are handicap obviously since there left hand must not work properly.

Thats what I like to hear -
When BRZWORLD goes tracking, everyone shows up .

Unfortunately those who didn't, lost a good day. The rain at the beginning was great - it took almost 3 years to finally hit on a track day in the rain.

Tracking in the rain was great training, and the track dried out for the last half, so we had fun time as well ! Competing against the Miata was fun as well as the triple turbo flaming brake olive drab monster.

Too bad only go-kart track days until the snow is gone.

You are preaching to the choir here my friend. Seems to be very common nowadays and it drives me insane. Lack of awareness and overall lack of respect for other drivers on the road concerns me. Another pet peeve are people turning at intersections with no signals. Is it that hard to signal? I mean come on. We don't even have to mention texting and other distracted drivers. Wonder why there's so many accidents on the roads these days on clear summer days…...

Google BRZWORLD, hit the facebook page, all the events are listed. It is the largest, most active group in Ontario. Members come down from Cambridge, Hamilton, Guelph etc. every Wednesday.
We sometimes include drifting and drag racing on our track days. We do sightseeing cruises, as well as camping trips, parties, poker games etc.
Truly a fun group with access to solid expertise, and some good parts deals from volume buying.
All due to the leader, Barrington, who because of the work load usually starts burning out by this time of year and needs a hiatus before organizing next year and also due to the membership, an unusually generous group of eclectic individuals.

Our Wed. meetings have between 20 and 50 twins, and will begin again come the thaw.
It is interesting when non twins show up, and they are all welcome -

Even the honda with blue underglow and only one lambo door.

Nice nice, well I joined the facebook page and yeah looks like a friendly community.
I also like that they have a shop, will be buying some parts from them cause it's domestic so won't have to worry about customs

Show up to a Hanson Driving School or something similar before the season ends, no need to to karting

I went to the SPDA lapping day with an otherwise bone stock FR-S and made it out in one piece, a huge grin on my face, and many lessons learned about stock tires

What drewbot said,
I jumped right into 2 different events, and yes I had a blast, and learned a lot about the car in the process, but I think i would have benefited more from proper instruction vs the whole just jump in the car and go thing,

a driving school would take a lot of error out of the learning process, you'd be learning how to drive a track properly the first time, so from my first few experiences I'd second the recommendation you start with a HPDE session with a pro 👍
