I'll try to get there earlier too, I need to get to bed early tonight since I'll be up by 5am tomorrow.

Where in the lot are we usually parking this year?

North (Target) side, along that middle entrance/lane off Merivale between the Target and Tim's/Red Lobster lots - The tails of our cars at the curb. If that area is taken though, just look around, we won't be too far

Picking mine up June 19th...looking forward to getting out meeting some of your guys and seeing your cars.

I would be interested in checking out some of these events too and even participating but are there ever any track events or autocrosses that are geared to beginners?

Check out the Calabogie track thread. The MCO track events are definitely beginner friendly. It was my first time ever on the track with a car and I didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instructors are provided and everyone in the beginner run group is there to learn.

Awesome, I'll check it out. I'm also slightly worried about dinging my brand new car but I didn't buy it to look at it

The Motorsport Club of Ottawa's autocross events are a great fun for all, and you'll find lots of people to provide advice and help.

Next event in-town is Sat June 14th at the Canadian Tire Place. It's going to be a fun one since it's the "Interprovincial Cup", ie Ontario vs. Quebec. A bunch of quick drivers from Montreal will be coming down to try to win bragging rights. Next year, they play host and we invade their turf.

The full MCO autocross schedule can be found here: http://www.mco.org/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=16203
That area of the forum provides on-going info for autocrossers: http://www.mco.org/phpbb/viewforum.php?f=3

I'll admit, I was a little nervous at first, but the track is plenty wide, and once you progress your speed at a pace you are comfortable with, you should be fine.

Unfortunately I'm away with work until June 18th but I'll check out the MCO schedule and go from there. Even if there not local I don't mind driving a few hours for a day of fun every now and then

The next MCO event is with the Ferraris on June 13 and after that it is July 15.

Damn I won't be around July 15 either as I work a 3 weeks on, 3 weeks off schedule up in northern Quebec. I hope some events land on my time off.

Was packed last night. Good time as the weather finally cooperated. Have to say though that the drive home was the most fun with the 4 of us in tow. Chad left us at the lights. Car looks and sounds really good. I think all the people around us were a little confused with the 4 different sets of tail lights on the cars. pretty cool to see. I can't for winter reasons but the cars look sooooo good lowered!!! super jelly! thanks for a good night all. Was nice meeting Jim ( FRS with 5 axis kit ) and seeing that new red Subaru BRZ with 10 km on it. awesome.
Well I'm off to the fights now. Have a great day all.

Well snapped the bolt off the exhaust tip....got a screw extractor piece but need a hoist or a flat out of sun area to jack up the car...exhaust tips will have to wait.
