Museum to celebrate the Golden Era of Racing
May 2006 (Halton Hills) – On June 10, 2006, the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame (CMHF) welcomes everyone to the Official Grand Opening at its new location in Halton Hills. The all-day event has lots in-store for race fans including a display of some of the museum’s unique collection of race vehicles from all disciplines along with exhibits of memorabilia and archival information.
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. Both tracks were hosts to some of the most exciting races of their time for stock car fans.
Period-era race cars will be on display at the CMHF’s new home located at Legendary Motorcar at 8242 Fifth Line in Halton Hills. Admission is $5 per car and includes access to the “Golden Era of Racing in Toronto” festivities as well as the Museum itself. Food and refreshments will be available.
The Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame was forced to leave its former home at Exhibition Place in January of this year to make room for the construction of the new soccer stadium. The CMHF operates as a not-for-profit, charitable institution. Its aim is to honor and recognize those who have made significant contributions to motorsports in Canada.
