Well, I know two of the new owners and my brother knows the other.

Many congratulations to all three of them.

Good move.

maybe now they can make a first class infield and outfield for the spectators,,,paved walkways and some de-treeing would be nice,,,,,

This is "Very Cool"

This is the best thing that could happen to this historical track. Watch for some real improvements in the future!!

Just be carefull what you wish for,,,, we've become used
to a lot of freedom at Mosport that a lot of other tracks
don't offer anymore,,,sometimes huge improvements and
bigger crowds take away what we love about the facility.
Now that said,, I do agree some much needed basic
improvments are in dire need. Like repaving the paddock area,
better food vendors.

Impressive news! Congrats to the new owners!

Al was at the car club meeting tonight and he gave us a quick synopsis of how it all happened.

That's great. Al Boughton's daughter is getting married this weekend and my son is in the groom's wedding party. My wife and I are attending the wedding and we will be at Al's house Sunday afternoon (after we golf of course) for a follow-up event. I'll be checking out his cars and yacking up his big acquisition.
