Walter, sorry for missing you when we left for the fun run, we felt bad for ditching you like that. Hope you and your wife got home OK and that you engine issues are nothing serious.


Ditto on that. What a heartbreak to be sooo close! So glad you were able to thumb a ride in the parade laps! Hope your car is back to life very soon.

A few pics from the track....Attached Image Attached Image

...erm...yes...sorry, those are mine. We realized it part way home. Just stuff 'em in a corner out of your way and I will drop by and get them some time, who knows when.

Thanks again for leading us around the driving tour and to you, Kim and Elizabeth for hosting the BBQ. It was truly a memorable experience.

Since we had never been to Mosport, my brother and I arrived Saturday morning to get the lay of the land, and watch some of the Can/Am PCA Sprint racing. Almost immediately we bumped into John Tipper and Dave Pateman. I realized that all you really need in life is a 914 and bag of Tostitos.Attached ImageAttached Image

amen to that brother

Just an FYI to everyone - please cross post your pics at the 914World Facebook site, where we have an album started.

Go to the album tab at the top and post 'em all!

So looking forward to making this happen all over again at Le Circuit Mont-Tremblant September 29th to further celebrate the 914 50th and pay tribute to Jacques Duval, George Nicholas and Robert Bailey for their big win at Daytona in '71. More on that to follow in the other thread here in the garage.

Yes it was a fantastic event, Thanks to John for arraigning everything thanks to Mark and his family and hospitality. Enjoyed meeting everyone and seeing all of their cars. The camp sites were great many trees to hang my hammock. I must admit first time on a track and I was scared to death but would do it again in a heartbeat. You all were very open and welcoming to the Americans Aey (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

The participation from you, John T (garland2) and Mark Gohlke really made all the work worthwhile. What would a CanAm be without the Am? Hopefully we can do this again and get even more participation from our American buds. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif)
Love the Phillie accent. "Quarry" eh!

To anyone in the great U S of A who sat on the fence for this one, we are hoping to do it again at Mont Tremblant with a special tribute to Jacques Duval. This one will be very special if we can do everything we're hoping to. Keep the weekend of September 28-29 open and keep watching the garage for more info on this. Mont Tremblant needs to be on everyone's bucket list of places to go. Absolutely amazing place and perfect for a 914 tour. Attached Image

Thanks to John, Mark & fam, Kathleen and anyone else involved with organizing Sunday's fantastic event. Thanks, Gord, Tony and Mark for making the effort to attend from farther than most of the rest of us. Everyone's 914 passion inspired me to set up a username here on 914 World. You can have a guess at my identity based on the video, attached. (Thanks, Gord, for shooting it from my car's passenger seat.)

I second that! John T. was my "driver" for the Parade Laps, and really gave me an amazing ride despite the speed limit imposed.

Mark and Rose were super gracious even when my brother and I interrupted them in the middle of refueling. Here's Mark lighting up the track heading towards turn 5. The fast shutter speed makes it looks like he's parked, but trust me...he was moving!Attached Image

My car made it all the way to the entrance gate at Mosport, then refused to start. George took me around the track in his beautiful signal orange 914. I then called CAA to take my car home, so I missed out on the driving tour and BBQ at Mark's.

Much better than okay. It's perfect. The sight of Tim's tribute to the 1973 Mosport Pace Car coming down to the start/finish line makes for a nice comparison to the historic shot from the 1973 Can Am. If only the driver's side flag didn't go flying away along the Mario Andretti Straightaway. At least nobody's car got whacked by it!
Thanks for posting the video!!!!

Great video.. shows what an awesome day it was.

However, I'm never a fan of music in car videos. I'd like to hear the car.

Video looks good... I heard that one of the cameras fell off at some point. That video would be great to see as well.
