The 8th Stop for the American Le Mans Series
Michael Schlee
The American Le Mans Series race took place at Mosport this past weekend. Despite the less then favourable weather conditions, fans turned out by the thousands.

Torrential rains Saturday, blistering winds Sunday and cool temperatures all weekend kept things interesting for the race teams. More then a few teams left the weekend with bent race cars.
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.
A Day of Racing, Parading, Cold Weather and Sunburns

It’s not everyday that I get an opportunity like I did this past weekend. I was invited out to Mosport International Raceway to do some ‘parade lapping’ at lunch in my own car. All I had to do was watch some great grass-roots racing and make a small donation to the Hospital for Sick Children. It was a Win-Win-Win situation, how could I pass it up?

Anyone close to the racing world knows how legendary Mosport International Raceway is. To get the opportunity to drive around it in any form is one I have been waiting for. However, to run it you usually need serious safety equipment, serious money, and serious racing experience; all things I do not posses. More on that later.
Following the car based reality show

Bullrun may be one of the best automotive programs you are not watching. A reality television game show based around cars and the people who drive them; Bullrun is aired Thursday nights at 10PM on Speed TV and with Goldberg as the host, how can it not be entertaining?
A spiritual successor to the old Gunball and Cannonball rallies, Bullrun features all the drama, alliances, backstabbing and suspense of a normal reality television show. However, where Bullrun stands out from the crowd of reality TV is its focus on skills needed for all things automotive. Precision driving, navigation, concentration and a bit of mechanical skills are all needed to win this rally.
