First Race of 2005 for #23 Touring GT RX7
Just thought I would give you guys some warning. Just finished putting the deal together for the first race of 2005 for the #23 Rx7.
We will be running in the 3 Hour "Sundowner" Enduro during the AGT Victoria Day Weekend in the C2 Class. This Event will start at 7:00 PM and end at 10:00 PM (yes, at night, wi.... wi....with HEADLIGHTS, OMG!!!!) on the 22nd. This event will require 2 pitstops for fuel and I hope nothing else. The grid will be a mix of cars from Honda Michelin through to Porsche GT3's. Should be pretty busy and is the first night race at Mosport since 1992 and actually I raced in that one as well.
At present the drivers will be myself and bringing in a hired gun from the west coast, Tony Morris JR. Tony is an ex-Honda Michelin Champion, Formula Ford Champion, Players Development Program Driver and Winfield Elf School Graduate. Tony and I have shared a seat in a number of races and we should be second to none in driving talent for this race. We may be adding another driver at a future date.
The overworked crew for this race will be the same as last years Touring GT crew, Dave Salt, Jamie Federico, Kristen Eisner and a couple of other event slaves, er guests.
Just would like to thank the sponsors who make all of this possible;
Mazda Canada, Scarboro Mazda, Eurasia Autobody, NoyzBoyz and new for this year CP Racing
Come on out if you aren't in Ottawa and watch the fun.

Update to the WeekEnd
Mosport has announced the following:
THE SOUNDS OF ROCK, RACING AND FIREWORKS WILL FILL MOSPORT'S FIRST BIG CAMPING WEEKEND
THE SOUNDS OF ROCK, RACING AND FIREWORKS WILL FILL MOSPORT'S FIRST BIG CAMPING WEEKEND
THE VICTORIA DAY WEEKEND SPEEDFEST at MOSPORT
Bowmanville, ON - April 25, 2005: Camping, racing, music and fireworks highlight the Victoria Day Weekend SpeedFest May 20, 21 & 22, 2005, Mosport International Raceway's season opener and the first long weekend of the summer.
Mosport's 700 plus acres of private park is the place to be for one of Ontario's biggest and best Victoria Day Weekend birthday parties. The sounds of race cars will mix with the sounds of rock and classic rock music, Saturday and Sunday, capped off with a spectacular fireworks show Sunday evening.
Mosport will also put the speed in this SpeedFest with a full slate of racing. Muscle car enthusiasts are going to revel in the sounds of Detroit iron blasting up the Andretti straight at speeds over 250 km/h. The American GT Challenge (AGT) is now in it's second season of competition with purpose-built tube frame race cars and earth pounding V8 horsepower from the likes of Chevy and Ford with Corvettes, Camaros and Mustangs. Canada's Charlie Webster, the inaugural series champion, will lead the Canadian contingent into battle against all AGT challengers on his home turf.
After a 29-year hiatus, the Sundown Grand Prix returns to Mosport this Victoria Day Weekend. Teams from the Ontario Touring Car Championship, many racing at night for the first time, will wrap up the weekend's on-track action Sunday night with a three-hour race into darkness around Mosport's 4 km undulating roadcourse.
The new look Honda/Michelin Challenge Series caused quit a stir at the Canadian International Auto Show this past February. Outfitted with a tuned exhaust and firmly set with their new Dynamic Suspension package, the Civics are going to shatter lap times from 2004 on their return this Victoria Day Weekend.
Other races include the Isseco Formula 1200 single seat open wheel cars, along with NASCAR-style 'mini me' cars - the 3/4 scale Cup Lites stock cars. Both these series offer competitive racing, keeping fans on edge, lap after lap, with multiple lead changes and thrilling side-by-side action.
A Three-day Superticket is only $45.00 until May 18th. Each ticket includes free parking, paddock access, all activities and Saturday Night Stock Car racing at Mosport Speedway. An Advanced 3-day weekend general camping pass is just $25.00 (For tents or pop-up trailers. Fee is charged on a per vehicle basis, maximum 6 people). Children 12 and under are free when accompanied by a paid adult admission. Single day tickets are also available. For more information about Mosport tickets and camping, call the Mosport Hotline at 1-800-866-1072 (Monday to Friday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm ET) or visit online at www.mosport.com.

The rock bands look to include , OMG!!! Ted Nugent. I didn't even know he was still performing. Hide your girlfriends and wives the wango tango man and racing, all in one place. I might have to "camo" my car for the Nug'. At the end of our enduro the rock concert and fireworks show starts.
