While camping sounds like fun, I'd rather get a good night's sleep and feel rested (and showered) for the next day.
This is likely a stupid questions but are there are decent places to hang out in Belleville on a Saturday?

Re: [Questions about Driving School] Upcoming ADS at Shannonville June 26th and 27th
Boys, We have too get on it!
I have room for all three of you, assuming you sign up before Tuesday, which is a cut-off for us.
I recommend you drive your car on the rubber side vs the shiny side - the traction is better and the instructor we will assign to you for the weekend will like you a whole lot better! (reference to my sig which is the same in my email)
Stu
PS - this will be better for learning than Calabogie, 2 reasons, 1) shorter track with more turns, more learning in more compressed time, 2) two days in a row is amazing since you have "breakthroughs" on the second day once you're relaxed and experienced.
Paid This Morning, hope you guys get In before the Tuesday Deadline.

Still waiting for Stuart to get back to me to let me know how to pay... if anyone of you has a phone number for him or can let him know to contact me that'd be great.

Yep I got it. I e-mailed him on Friday, guess the weekend was busy for everyone.
All setup now and paid. Guess I will see you guys there!
Any thoughts on lodging?

I signed up, did not book the sleeping accommodations yet my just camp on site for free.
There are still a few spots left.
They will be running three groups: advanced, intermediate and beginner so there is room for all drivers. You don't need r-comps or any other mods to learn. Just make sure you have 'enough' brake pad material and fresh brake fluid.
In addition to the track time, they will be running slalom exercises, a wet skid pad as well as class room instruction. We have 3 rx8s right now from this club, let hope a few more sign up.

Just in case you guys didn't notice, make sure you bring your completed tech inspection form:

Don't know about taking it to a dealer. I usually get teched by independent shops. With a dealer you may get the right reaction and you don't know if it can effect your warranty in the future.
Generally what you will be attending is a driving school, not a lapping event or race event so it should not effect your warranty but it is probably better not to get into a discussion with the dealer.
Having said all that, guess who is doing my tech tomorrow? (but only because work does not give me enough time to take it elsewhere).
