Hi All; I attended part of the VARAC Festival at Mosport this year and quite
enjoyed the racing. The festival included a number of F1 cars in celebration
of the 40th anniversary F1 race in Canada at Mosport in 1967. All in all, the
vintage racing was very entertaining and those Sprites are something to behold
on the track. The email below is from another list I am on and thought it
might be of interest to you. Enjoy!!

Subject: [CMSHG] Mosport F1 Festival
Well we had 8 Bugeye's racing at Mosport F1 Vintage Festival, I'll let
those that went relay the action.
Special thanks to Dino Micacchi for trusting me with his 59 Bugeye for the
weekend, It's been a while since I did a full weekend at the festival (driving,
not wrenching) when I got a few bugs out I was able to have a great race with
Alister MacLean, up to the last lap in corner 3, where I needed to save the car
& not the spot!!!! I know Jeremy Sale will be shaking a finger at me for a
while!!!!
Ted Michalos has his bugeye moving & driving it well for a rookie as well as
Craig DeShane for his first time out racing, Don Hooton who broke early, Brian
MacEachern always fast, Gary Kropf (Ohio) loved it & will return next year,
Brain Hunt came out from the west coast (Calgary Alberta) very fast!! John
DeMaria LIGHTING FAST all I can do is point him past!!!! & Roger Garnett who
couldn't play with us this year (long time racing with us from NY) but won't
miss next year!!! Gord Armstrong, Paul Cary, Mark Doust, Mike McGregor & Mike
Salter lets get the dust off your cars & come to the 29th Vintage Festival at
Mosport in 2008????
I hear my bugeye crocking at me & if I can move something out of the shop,
maybe this is the kick I need to center on one car at a time for next year????
I was a little disappointed in the low showing of Sprites (road going) at the
event, we would like to have a celebration of Sprites at next years event "to
over shadow the CAN-AM cars" for the 50th year of Sprites. Please send me all
your information on planed activities for all 50th Austin Healey Sprite events
so I can promote this event which will be held the 3rd weekend of june 2008
(date to be confirmed). I will be to a few tracks in the North East where many
Sprites run & I'm sure to convince them to come out & show we can put 50
Sprites on a grid!!! & 150 in the show area!!!!!!!! !!!!! So bombard me with
ideas & your questions & let me know your dates so we can make this one of the
must do events for the 50th AUSTIN HEALEY SPRITE YEAR.
