Anyone been to Mosport?

So I was able to get into the UCR DE at Mosport with my PCA membership (thanks to my Pig a.k.a Cayenne).

This is a track that I have always wanted to run, so I'm really happy to have a chance to get a couple days on a wicked race track!

I've found a few good laps on You Tube and Vimeo to get a sense for the track but wanted to ask if any of you guys have run it in and what tips and tricks do you have?

Most importantly, where are the areas that equal "death" to the to car (lot's of armco and concrete on the track with not alot of run off)

Any other tips/suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Turn 3 was one of the bravest corners in North America. The pro series demanded that safety be increased at that corner. I have not been there since the changes were made. Like Lime Rock and Watkins Glen, the most committed tracks are being tamed in the interest of safety but they ruin the "sport". If I wanted to be safe I would just buy a television and grow old. Fear is what separates the masters from the rest. I know the fastest Mazda driver at Lime Rock has lost interest in racing since they "improved" the course. Mosport is a worthy track. Go drive it while you are young and enjoy the experience.

Never been up, hoping to go this year for ALMS. I know the Dyson guys like the track up there quite a bit.
