If anyone can help other riders out, by giving them a ride up to the races (asuming your going to the same one Razz ) i think that would help also, I know i'd pitch in for gas.
I think there should be a petition to have a shuttle.

...definitely, my truck only holds one passenger and its not nearly big enough. When I get my cousins F350 I'd shuttle anyone who can fit.

no, the courses of the Q-cup are definitely more downhill racing. O-cup is more of just...what Ontario has to offer. i would race whatever is near, most people don't even race for overall points anyway so if theirs an O-cup race near you go to it as well as a Q-cup race near you. no sense in driving 5 hours for a race that you don't need to attend.

since you live near blue, if google maps is right. There should be quite a few people coming from that area.

Post something on DM, no offence to the riders on here, but a lot of them, like most of us are just 14-17 y.o's. I know my parents wouldn't really be willing to drive somebody that they don't know and just because they needed a ride.

What your looking for is somebody older who wouldn't mind helping some young kids out.

Also it would be best if you got a ride to first kelso race and asked around there.

But also since you live in barrie, the only real Q-Cup that makes sense is Fortune, but since O-Cups go there twice you don't really need to go a third time if your main goal is to have fun. And if its the same as last year and one horseshoe and one blue. You should be able to manage to get out at least to those two.

yeah, probably better to meet some people at the Kelso race and get familiar with them and you'll probably be able to get a ride easy for the next one. i don't think theirs alot of people that bother with Q-cup seeing as they have events at MSA (pretty sure) which is like a 9 hour drive from the GTA. Chris just lives in between the two though so he's lucky enough to choose.
