August 23 ALMS Race Team Meet and Greet

MAZDASPEED North is set for this weekend

Michael Schlee

It is rare that professional race teams take time out of their busy schedule for a meet and greet session. But for those of you lucky enough to be in the Toronto area this weekend, you have a great opportunity to meet a few race teams.

Dyson Racing

The event is called ‘MAZDASPEED North’ and is taking place at Scarboro Mazda at 2124 Lawrence Avenue East in Scarborough. The event will be showcasing race teams, car clubs and automotive products in an effort to raise money for the Hospital for Sick Children. There will be a BBQ, DJ, prizes and displays throughout the day.

Dyson Racing from the American Le Mans series and AIM Autosports of the Star Mazda Series will be on site in preparation for their race the following weekend at Mosport. Of course there will also be a few local race teams and clubs on hand. I’ll even be there with the Autotrader.ca/Bullrun RX-8 so stop by and say hi. The event runs from 10AM-4PM.

Even for those not into Mazda’s or road racing, this is still a great opportunity to meet professional drivers and see their cars up close and personal. Plus it is all for charity.
