2005 VARAC Vintage Festival

A whole crowd of us attended the 26th annual vintage festival at Mosport last weekend and were happy to see some great racing with some of the coolest cars in Ontario!

My fave had to be the unbelievably loud & fast BMW M1 endurance racer that came out of long storage last summer. the last time I saw this car was at the Group C endurance race at Mosport in 1984! It is even more outrageous now that it isn't surrounded by all the factory Porsche 956's and the like. Maybe next year the organizers can convince some of the endurance car owners to come out to show off some really heavy metal!

It was also a treat to see some of the old standbys of racing in Ontario. Minis, Porsches, Volvos and all sorts of sports racers took to the track for a weekend of fun. Fun is the key word to vintage racing, as the competitors are more interested in having a good time & excercising their old race cars than they are at beating the next guy. It is always my favourite event of the summer!

This one is a first for me, I've never seen a Ferrari Dino race car!

We have put together a great deal on a bunch of Meguiar's products just for you to give Dad this year. No stinky ties, just great quality car care products from The Garage Guy & Meguiar's. We've included all the products Dad will need from start to finish and put them in a great Rubbermaid bucket with a really cool measuring window.
