TORONTO, ONTARIO For over 30 years, Ontario karters have gotten their licenses to go 'bear hunting' at the Traditional OKRA (Ontario Kart Racing Association) Grand Nationals. This year the event changes location to the new Cameron Motorsports Mosport International Karting Complex on July 27-31.
"It's important for the OKRA to support those that are investing in this sport," says the OKRA's Bill Oakman about the venue change.
The recently completed 1.4 km Mosport International Karting Complex is excited about hosting the event as Cameron Motorsports Jean Guy Forget said. "This is a great event; it has been for over 30 years. At Cameron Motorsports, we are happy to be able to provide a world class venue for this very historic event."
The five day event, on the Ontario Civic Holiday long weekend will feature two practice days July 27, 28 and racing will start on the 29th through the 31st. Those three days of racing will all have one thing in common. All the drivers competing will be looking to take home the most coveted trophy in karting the Bear.
"The Bear is the most recognizable trophy in karting," says Oakman. "To have one, really defines your karting career."
The classes for the Traditional Grand Nationals are still being worked out but the OKRA says they will reflect the Ontario club racing community classes from juniors to masters.
