Whats up guys, i just got back from Canada. It was awesome meeting some of the toronto supra guys. i'll be sure to get pics up soon. The track was awesome, i ended up smashing my lip and scratched my rim, but other than that it was a blast. I highly recommend supra owners to take their cars out on a road course. Here's the vid i made of me and my buddies this past week. Ill update this thread with pictures as i upload them.

Looks like you guys had fun. Track seems very spectator friendly, how long
is it and what was your top speed at the end of the straight? Have you tried
Summit Point in West Va.? I know they have track days there. I haven't
had my car up there yet, more than likely in the spring. The track can be pretty fast with real good corners, used to race there years ago on motor
cycles. WERA had a few races every year. Keep on track driving, its cool
to see a Supra going around corners instead of in a straight line.

I come from a land down under
Great circuit for road cars!
(only 1 place where you could kill a car in an off)

Good excuse to take the Monsoon tires along at the start though.

Would have been nice to have less musak volume and more car sounds but not a bad edit.

umm top speed was a bit over 100mph. the footage wasnt too good, i had my g/f record it and it was her first time using a camcorder.. :1zhelp:

i haven't been to the va track. this was my second time at shannonville ( 2 days of tracking each time) and i also did one run at pocono raceway in pa. its tough being the only supra racing :( i havent seen any other locally

That looks like a real nice track. Do you drive the shorter circuit on day one
and then on day two they open up the lower section of the track?
Where is this in Canada? I see you're in NJ, I live in Baltimore and I would be
interested in tagging along the next time you go.
I've also been to Pocono, did two of Bertle Roos's drivers schools up there.
One day in the rain one in open wheel, that WAS quite an experience! I did
hear that they built another course there but that was after I was there.
Sorry to hear about the dings on your car, at least it wasn't a major! That one
car did look fairly ominous.
