Usually clutch side

When I was there on Monday/Tuesday it was on rider's left.

Calabogie will spoil you... so smoooooth, sooooo wide and soooooo much grip.
If your memory is like mine, give yourself a half day to learn the track. If you memory is better, then never mind

Mosport's confusing because you pit on the infield. At Calabogie the pit wall is on your left as you come around. I don't think the track put a beacon up so you'll have to rely on someone else putting one up.

You're gonna have a blast. Hands down the best track in Ontario.

Had a blast! The timer worked fine recording me at about 2:40 until i wicked it up a bit as i started to learn the track sat afternoon.Half the timer is somewhere in the gravel trap in turn 1 now along with a big bunch of tiny bits of bodywork.Bike cartwheeled 3 or 4 times,i stopped sliding about 5 ft from the tirewall.Not sure what the reasons are,But the club had about 8 riders go down on sat(prolly the heat.It was 34c).Can't believe i didn't break anything.Just a ton of bruises and a cut on my nose from the pieces of windshield.Bickle already sewed my suit back together.He's THE man.

Wow, turn 1 is a fast corner... Glad you are OK. Good luck getting the bike back together.
