This pic was at Mosport last year. This year I've got a three day trip booked at Le Circuit Mont Tremblant in June

If you're local to GTA there are lots of different companies that offer days at Cayuga, Mosport....Driveteq, JRP/Speed Therapy, BMW Trillium Club of Canada, Touge

I've been trying to get out of hibernation for a month, but temperatures in the teens and the possibility of snow for the next couple of weeks won't let me do it. I've never kept a car under cover this late.

I've been driving it all winter long...

Going to the Dragon in 1.5 weeks too.

But I still have snow setup on the car because of stupid NE Ohio weather like this:

I am getting crabby, but trying to fight it. Our highest temp in the next 10 days is forecasted 10 days out at 41. Booooo! And I may have to put my snows back on as there is supposed to be 3-6 inches coming in the next couple of days...your high of 51 looks pretty good.

That high was at midnight last night / this AM... it's like 30-something outside right now.

This Tuesday and Weds they are showing highs in 50s and 60s, but at night back into the lower 40s, and by Fri/Sat they are predicting snow again right now with highs in the lower 30s.

It makes getting any work done for a trip down south way more difficult...

Retired the Touareg for the season and took my M2 out of hibernation last weekend. I've got a few minor updates in prep for the first track day later this month.
