Does anyone here know where Shannonville Motorsport Park is located?
Track location
- Thread starter MarkB
- Start date
Thanks
Mark:
Its about 120 miles east of Toronto, Canada. From Kansas you'd be better off first stopping at Mosport 60 miles east of Toronto then going on to Shannonville. After Shannonville turn North east and go to Mt Tremblat just a few miles north of Montreal.
Are you planning on touring Europe with the NSX in 2005?

Actually, in 2005 or 2006. I haven't decided yet.Peter Mills said:
I needed the location for an upgrade to my event calendar page.
Mark,
Check out this website. You can use it to find descriptions for most of the major tracks, including address, information like links to their official website (e.g. http://www.shannonville.com ), etc.

Mark I don't think Shannonville is worth drive from Kansas, unless you are in town for some reason. I have been to VIR, Road Atlanta, Road America, Mosport, Beaverun and Mont Tremblant. I live a couple hours from Shannonville but I still haven't been there. Apparently its pretty flat and boring. Just hearsay though. I will check it out next year. If you are planning a trek, don't miss Mosport. Its a white knuckle ride. I have had a ride in Peter Mills' NSX at the last trackmasters day at Mosport and it was great. I would also highly recommend Mont Tremblant.

Mark, you rule.

I'm planning a Canadian NSX track event to coincide with Trackmasters annual Mosport school. This year (2005) they might also be going to Mt. Tremblant I'll e-mail you as soon as the instructor schedule is posted.
Any NSX track rats in eastern Michigan, north western Pennsylvania and northeast Ohio who might be interested please drop me a line and I'll place you on my mailing list. Mosport is similar to Watkins Glen with its elevation changes. Shannonville is very flat but it has plenty of run off area (so I hear). Did you get your NSX body damage repaired? Stay well.

Peter,
I took my car to the shop this morning. They should have it done in 5-7 business days.
Any events in the NE for next year would be greatly apreciated.

I agree with Wesman. Shannonville is however fun in the rain. So .... if it looks like a cloudy week, it may be worth the drive.
Hi Wes:WESMAN said:
The major upgrades to my NSX are suspension modifications and larger brakes.
My set up is similar to the NSX-R. I use comptech's pro suspension with 1000 lbs springs in front and 600 lb spring in the rear. I have Comptech sway bars front setting full stiff, rear full soft. I have the Comptech rear beam with non-comp toe links and non comp pivot "plates" in the front to control toe changes under extreme braking. My NSX is corner balanced to within one pound on the diagonal. I have AP Racing 330mm rotors front and rear with AP 5200 Calipher (four pot) in the front. My drive train is totally stock. Other than that I've got two other secrets. One is the nut behind the wheel, the other is Larry Bastanza (Asimo Motor Sports) we make a very good team.
Wes, I thought you were an excellent driver and a great student. I know you impressed both Tony Funicello and myself with the way you drove your Protege. I hope to see you at Mosport and maybe Mt. Tremblant next year.
Passing a higher horsepower car like the ZO6 vette is not that difficult but you have to pick your spot. I usually brake later in the zone than a vette
and I try to keep the Asimo NSX in it's power band through out the turn. The 5A and 5B combination at Mosport is a good example. The balance of the NSX allows me to brake and down shift into third going up the hill into 5A, down shift to into second without braking before 5B, so as I exit 5B I'm in my power band and on the gas. I'm into third before turn six and I'm on my way. It's all in the setup and execution of the turn that allows lesser horsepower cars to pass higher horsepower cars. Just tell your friends it's technique.
Wes, have a wonderful off season and stay well.
