CSCS Aug 9 @ Cayuga/TMP *Pics & Vid*

[Fobio]

Wow...what a day at Cayuga/Toronto Motorsports Park! It couldn't have happened any better for the MS3 guys even if we planned it...

How many MS3's do you see?



Much more to come...pics, vids, timing...

Personal highlights:

1. Met and ran with mleblond...it's a long time coming buddy!
2. Ran with silvermist99 and showed him what an "older" guy can do with a little more room...
3. Met, ran with, gotten passed by and picked up tips from Big Dad...
4. Saw my first live drag race...again not my thing, but wow, it's a great adrenaline rush seeing/hearing/smelling and literally feeling the power of real drag cars...
5. Seeing MPS's ride...

and finally...

6. the impromptu MS3 meet

nice, sub'd for more pics/videos. how did the mpsers do at the time trials?

[Fobio]

I'll let others post their respective timings...these are my UNOFFICIAL times that I've logged with MaxQData:

Time attack, 3 hot laps:

RunFobio021.mqd
Lap times (in lap order)
Lap Time
1 1:29.230
2 1:28.512
3 1:28.705

Best lapping:

Last lap of the day before the rain came in...maybe that's the reason...

RunFobio022.mqd
Lap times (in lap order)
Lap Time
5 1:27.331

The fastest MS3 of the day should be lapping around ~1:25 min or 85 sec.

what was the fastest street class cars lap time?

[Fobio]

I wasn't paying attn to other cars...and they don't post timings like AutoX (some dude shouted out that it usually takes weeks for CSCS to publish it online, hence the benefit of your own timing)...we all also had to leave cuz the skies opened...so no one stuck around for trophy presentation...but if someone did, please share!

Anyway...this is what I think is very true said by Big Dad in the original post:

The track is not that abrasive and it is by far the best "import" event in Canada, I strongly recomend it to all. Let us make a strong Mazda presence. See you all there. I recomend that you preregister because the road course tends to book up fast and it is great fun.

Surprisingly, this track was very nice to my tires (I'm not speaking for everyone as another TR MS3 not on this board chunked his stock tires being aggressive on the curbs)...but the flip side of this is that this track is relatively slick compared to all the other tracks I've been to in Ontario...last track on the list for me is Shannonville for this year!

EDIT: Also, very true about pre-registration if you're interested for the next run, cuz when we got there, there was 8 on waiting list and they were turning ppl away...

WOW...really!? +1000 props...that man is fast...he made ground on me at every point on the track, from the beginning of a straight thru braking...if he had a passenger seat, I'd have asked for a ride!

No...it wasn't silvermist99...he babies his car...I met this other guy who's also a car nut, but he's from Milton...hopefully, we'll get him on here as he's got lotsa karting experience and all around track nut...

[SpeedBaby]

I WANT PICS!!!! since i couldn't make it out this time, gotta see at least something

i thought you had to have a passenger seat to stay in the street stock class?

-Passenger seat cannot be entirely removed.

Glad to hear, sounds like a fun day

ahem...and I quote the guy doing inspection:

"We had to re-class you guys (MS3's) under Super Street cuz you guys are spanking the Stock Honda guys..."

'nuff said...

but hey...look what Big Dad did! for those who care, he's on Stage 2+ power and running R-compounds...plus he also drags the MS3!

6. the impromptu MS3 meet

highlights of the day for me on top of what fobio wrote:
I got outgunned by almost everything in the straight part of the track. I was faster then a good amount of civics, wrx, rx8, s2000, boxsters in corners but couldn't pass them in straight. A stupid wrx wouldn't let me by I tailgated it for 4 laps and I couldn't pass it on the straight due to lack of power... then it got scared when I was right up on him and he spun out which is how I passed.

TR's Vlad, silvemist, pk?... mps's tires aren't stock, dunno who pk is... silver you need to visit allen at simply tire soon ?

my tires are ok but not my brakes!

No...it wasn't silvermist99...he babies his car...I met this other guy who's also a car nut, but he's from Milton...hopefully, we'll get him on here as he's got lotsa karting experience and all around track nut...

i hear my car in the garage crying right now. a loooooot of sugeries needs to be done.

[jspeed_3]

hey man...you were the guy dropping tires off when I bumped into you right?

good show man, considering the handicap...nice to have met you but sorry we didn't get a chance to chat!

We have a pretty strong contingency here boys! Sounds like we have at least 10+ "drivers" rep'n TM3, Mazda, Mazdaspeed and MS3's...
