HALTON HILLS, ON – The Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame will be holding its Official Grand Opening June 10, and there will be lots in store for racing fans.

Highlighting the day will be a celebration for “The Golden Era of Racing in Toronto” to honor Pinecrest Speedway, which has been closed 30 years, and the CNE Speedway, which has been closed 40 years.

Period-era race cars will be on display at the CMHF’s new location, situated at the Legendary Motorcar facility at 8242 Fifth Line in Halton Hills. The museum will also be open to the public to display its diverse variety of motorsport in Canada, with vehicles from all racing disciplines along with exhibits and memorabilia.

A $5 per car admission is to be charged, which will include access to all functions as well as memorial souvenirs. Food and refreshments will be available, with proceeds going to the CMHF.

The Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame operates as a not-for-profit, charitable institution. It continues to honor and recognize those who have made significant contributions to motorsports in Canada. As funds permit, it will seek out new additions to the collection and continually improve and upgrade its display environment.
