VARAC Vintage Racing Festival 2003 Press Release
The Vintage Automobile Racing Association of Canada (VARAC) will host the
2003 Vintage Racing Festival on June 27, 28 and 29, 2003 at Mosport
International Raceway, Ontario. As many as 250 vintage race cars
representing a half century of competition are expected to compete on
Mosports famed 2.459 mile circuit.
Each year VARAC chooses a manufacturer to honour and for the 2003 Festival
Triumph has been selected as the Featured Marque. Production of the TR
series of sports cars began in 1953 with the TR2 and became one of the
mainstays of motoring competition around the world, finding enthusiastic
acceptance in North America. VARAC will honour the TRIUMPH marque, welcoming
and encouraging TRIUMPHs of all descriptions from around the world.
Mosport is a world class racing facility, having hosted Formula 1, Can-Am,
Indy cars, USAC, World Endurance, Trans-Am, Atlantic Series and of course
TRIUMPHs too. Steeped in motor racing history, all of the great name
drivers and teams since the 1960's have competed here. The course is now
owned by Panoz Motorsport and has been completely repaved, widened and made
safer without detracting from the historic layout or the challenging racing
line.
The VARAC Festival provides good value, reasonable registration fees, LOTS
OF TRACK TIME, friendly people, great social events and we are told over and
over again, more fun and excitement per dollar than any other North American
event.
More information about VARAC ( a Vintage Motorsport Council member club) and
the 2003 Festival is available at our website http://www.varac.ca or you can
contact VARAC president Bob DeShane directly at lbmc@nexicom.net. We look
forward to making new friends and welcoming back our old ones. Plan NOW to
join VARAC at Mosport next June.
