1. Would the plan be for a Friday practice day? Three days may sweeten the deal as some Saturday practice sessions have been cut very short recently. Also gives time to be “flagged” and changes made.There wasnt a plan for it at first, it would bring cost way up

2. If the event does not happen, will our money be returned? I presume it will be, but this has been asked already and I don't see an answer yet.

3. Is 135 the “break even point”? Has the club ever had 135 or more at an event? How much “loss” could the club tolerate to build and promote a new event? I think a reasonable amount should be considered based on the current financial situation of the club. (I have no idea what that is.)
we usually have over 160 riders at mosport, around 120 for shannonville,

4. Would it be possible to run a test again at the TT? Could we allocate 30 minuets of track time to allow riders to start single file at pit out, enter the track singly at even intervals, know where the meter is located, be able to pass at full throttle and exit at pit entrance. (not one full lap.) I would imagine that we could put a large amount of bikes through if organized well.
I was thinking that too, if we book tremblant we could probably run a test a shannonville to test people's new quiet exhausts

5. Could we know the weekends that are already booked, i.e. what weekends that we know the VRRA can not have. This may help people with rotating work schedules to consider if they can participate. Second weekend in July will be the the first choice (same weekend as ste-croix last year)

6. What will plan ”B” be for Quebec next year if Tremblant can't happen?
F#$% plan "B" lets make plan "A" happen

Karen and I plan on attending, I will attempt to find the ugliest looking “stock” pipe I can to keep with the cosmetics of the ZX7R. Karen will source stock cans for her ZX5R!

Malcolm, I hear your pain. I figure that eventually the “average guy” will become the minority eventually and then someone may listen to us!

Thanks in advance for answers, also Thanks to all involved so far with this initiative.

Cheers,
Colin

I'd like to know just how loud my bike is before trying to modify it.

How the heck are we going to find 135 pre-entries if we don't advertise ? You're setting a very tough criteria to attain and then making it even harder by not telling everyone. We are getting 150 entries at Mosport, including last minute registrations, an event that's been going on for a long time and is well known to the target audience and then we are supposed to find 135 for Tremblant in a month's time, 10 months before the event itself and without any advertising outside the VRRA ? Get real.

Sorry for being pessismitic, but in these conditions, I don't think it's gonna happen.

like chaos said how can we get in touch with the american .they loved to come to mosport and maybe they will be happy to help us to go tremblant one of the most beautiful track in north america.their pre registration will be a good hand by getting a higher pre entries,just explain the problem and let them be part of the solution if they want .
