I keep telling you, any track. Except Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.
That track is about a 20 min drive from my home. Back when it was called Mosport, it was the place I discovered Formula One. Got Jackie Stewart's last pre-race autograph in I think 1973 or 1974. He retired before the next race when his teammate Francois Cevert was killed in practice at Watkins Glen.
I was going to mention that we could possibly cajole you into participating as I figured you were in the GTA but I think Ted has issues with Canada for some reason besides not having a passport.

Jets at Wings first week of October. I’m going—thank you Vet Tix.
I stopped riding motorcycles at about age 20, having started when I was about 8 or 9. Way more interested in cars. Living in a big city like Toronto at the time, I didn’t like my physical well being being at the mercy of idiot drivers who would likely suffer no harm while they were killing me in an accident.
Right on, James
I started riding about the same age—hand me down Trail 70. Not going to argue that it’s not more dangerous but there are ways to mitigate the risk. Not sure if you still get the NYT but this was an interesting article….
https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/04/sports/f1-brains-drivers-racing.html?smid=nytcore-ios-shareHere’s a quote from it…
“This is something that people don’t realize when they think of racing drivers living off their reflexes,” said Dr. Lappi, who studies eye movements of various types of athletes. “Most of their skill is anticipation. The anticipation is how the brain buys itself time.”
In other words, a great driver doesn’t react to the road, he predicts it. In many ways, this isn’t surprising because the entire brain is often said to be an elaborate prediction machine. But in Formula 1 drivers, this looks a little different.”
Anyway, don’t have to worry about traffic on a track. Heck, if you go to the Chuckwalla site there’s a video of Lewis Hamilton railing around the track.

Think about it. Maybe we can convince Ted to visit Canada. Probably even stay at your place. I have cousins in the GTA so don’t worry, I won’t hit you up.
