I think the track was open for 5-6 years.It changed hands a couple of times.After the track closed we would pull the barriers aside and race on weekends.They finally used a grader to carve up the track.
Here is a shot of my Vega running the "Polar Express" on one of those secial days.As you can tell I was already off the mark as the Nova was sleeping.This is real "arm drop" racing.It's a poor pic but you can see a number of spectaters holding a beer.

Too bad - wish there was a strip near Toronto still - but I'm guessing that is what in the end determined the fate of this one, considering especially how much the city has grown Westward..
I did try a Google Earth search of the area to see where it might possibly have been located - but it appears that they obliterated any remnants of it well, as nothing jumps out now as having been a possible site.
I have a few friends who travel down to Cayuga and London to race but with the price of fuel and time it takes to get there from N. Ontario it becomes a very hard deal to do on a regular basis and only for the 'well heeled'..
We need a strip up North here and there is one sort of 'in the works' but these days $$'s are hard to free up from even the most sympathetic of donors and supporters..
Thanks - Randy

This one looks like it will happen even though it is 3 1/2 hours from Toronto.
