Toronto Motorsports Park (Cayuga) had opening day on Apr.4 this year.

It's just outside of Hamilton.

No their not. While the engine is mostly broke in at the factory, everything else is not. The tranny, brakes, and rear differential still has to be broke in.

I should have some numbers on 2SS Auto performance on Wednesday...don't know if I will have videos but I will get some pics. I won't have quite as many miles on it as I would like but the opportunity is too good to pass up

I've seen one on a strip, but not racing anyone. Just shootin for time. I can't find it, though. It was a red one (ss maybe) from a rear angle at night if I remember correct.

So far the 2 vids i have seen online are of a 13.6 and a 13.8. I sure hope we see a 13.0 camaro soon haha.

I'll go to the track and try to get a good video of your run. I'm assuming you are going to speed world? I only have a digital camera but it takes decent video.

I've been there ... I laugh at the new name too, calling it Hamilton Motorsports Park would have been a stretch. Anyway, if we've had one around here open for 3 weeks, then I'd say most should be open now.
