Especially given the shitty weather forecast, we had an excellent weekend of racing at Mosport. Virtually no rain!
Highlights for me included:
- Robert Chang towing all the way from Miami so I could have someone to sandwich between myself and Allan Lewis - However, I hadn't expected to be the cheese in the sandwich... Great competition! Consistent 1:26s without really knowing the track takes some talent!
- 15 C-Mods in the field! Is that a record?
- Spinning backwards through corner 8 at over 100mph and still winning the race!
- Of course 3 races and 3 wins!
- Sharing the weekend with PCA Club Racing
- Showing that BMW C-Mod cars can consistently put down lap times that are competitive with the PCA Porsche Cup Cars 1:26s in the summer weather! Hey guys. Lets put them on the track together next time!
Thanks also to all the organizers and volunteers from both clubs that worked their asses off to put on the event. The show was over the top...
My videos are now up on my YouTube Channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/pc270
(sorry the telemetry is broken. We were going faster than 23mph...)
Sprint 1: - really entertaining!
Sprint 2: - lots of open track

15 CMODs! Outstanding!
Wow, lucked out with Alan spinning in 5 eh?
It was great meeting you on the saturday (at Isi's trailer)
nice footage
Ran into this thread while searching...was very entertaining and great driving by both Allen and Carroll!!!
...what a great save going into 8. Curious, what caused the snappy spin?
3rd instead of 5th... !@#$

Hey Peter.
Glad that things went well for you. Indeed, 15 C-Mod must be nice on the track all at once. Please let us know what format of weekend was organized so that you could mix P-cars and Bimmers (in different groups I suppose). Was it a PCA weekend where you rented a group? Was it a regional weekend and you rented a group?

The Sept Glen race weekend started with 22 C-Mods registered! I think there were still 18 running by the end. That must be a record.
Mosport was a PCA weekend and we took a group. We really tried to mix the cars on the track. But the PCA insurance in incompatible with that. We have done it with PBOC in the US though.
