First road race of the season :) *LINK*

This is the first weekend for local road racing, held at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, aka Mosport. This is a regional club race and has lots of local cars and a few surprises :) Today was an open Test Day, meaning no formal racing or timing but lots of time to warm up the car. As a side bar, this may be the first May weekend in years where the sun was shining and the air was warm. In the past, there was snow, sleet, ice, hail, locusts and a few other deterents. Here are a few cars and more in the album. I will be back at the track Sunday and will add more photographs then. Enjoy :)

Lots of old stockers that road race...
