As far as the racing license I completed a level 1 course from racing adventures at mosport, would that be good enough?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I don't think that school will qualify, although it would appear to give a good start for track experience. The CASC-OR officials can correct me if I am wrong though.

The requirements for licensing are in the rule book (Race Regulations, Appendix 'B' and Appendix 'G'): http://www.casc.on.ca/sites/default/...egulations.pdf

You must pass a written exam, and possess a certificate indicating you have passed a race school (not a certificate of participation). For CASC-OR licenses, there is also a medical exam.

Typically, the school will cover the theory & practice of high performance driving, the rule book (especially the flag rules), race organization & officials, passing and race starts. For CASC-OR schools, the exam is written on the second day of the school. The school is pass/fail; some students don't make the cut for various reasons, including failing the exam.

I would like to add that you should make sure that the car you take to the race school is in good condition and has no "issues." There have been instances where students have failed the school because of vehicle issues which prevented them from mastering one or more of the required driving techniques.
