MOPAR Day at Barrie... and other things


There were several cars and drivers at Barrie Speedway on Friday for the annual MOPAR Day. You can see from the picture above that these guys are serious about their program. An impressive display!

I'll try to post some more later, but in a nutshell, a big 'thank you' to MOPAR (& DaimlerChrysler / Dodge) for their support of Canadian racing.

MOPAR will be the title sponsor of the Canada Day race at Barrie, and MOPAR Super Series drivers are eligible to collect $250,000 in contingency program awards from MOPAR / DaimlerChrysler / Dodge.

Before I head out to mow the lawn (it's a rare sunny weekend in T.O.!), thanks to everyone who voted in the ITMN Readers' Choice Awards. Voting closed last night at 6 p.m. We'll announce the results very soon... possibly in the next issue.

Winter is finally over as it's sun, sun, sun in souther Ontario and several speedways are set to take the green flag tonight. Safe and fun racing to all!


Finally, I'm heading over to MiniGrid tonight for the Open House get together. Some of the books and models of the late Bob Brockington will be on display. The books will go on auction tomorrow (Sunday), while the family will keep the models. Should be a fun night. Starts at 6 and everyone is welcome.
