Hi everyone. I'm super new here so forgive my forwardness. I've mentioned this in a couple other places on the interweb to no result so I figure I shall make a post.
I'm fairly involved in motorsport in Ontario and spend a solid amount of time at Mosport working for the marshalling organization there. However, I typically only work club weekends so that I can relax and enjoy the pro weekends and nice weather.
I'm wondering if anybody makes it out to the Victoria Day Speedfest event each year. If so, would you like to meet up? Set up a little Fofo display? It's a great weekend for us as it is the season opener for the Nascar Canadian Tire Series, so lots of domestic car lovers in attendance for sure. Maybe you've never been and want to come?
A single adult ticket for the whole weekend is $50 in advance and camping pass is $40 in advance. Children 12 and under are free, quiet hours are 11pm-8am (and enforced). Click here for a complete list of policies.
If there's no interest ehhhh cool man, thought I'd try as I'll be there anyway and it's a nice location with plenty of fanfare.
For anyone who doesn't know, Mosport (Canadian Tire Motorsport Park) is about 45 minutes East of Toronto in Clarington. Nice drive if you take HWY7 all the way.
Some Videos of the Racing:
NASCAR Canadian Tire Series on the ROAD COURSE!
TransAm
Pirelli World Challenge - Lower Classes
Ultra94 Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge Canada
Canadian Touring Car Championship
ToyoTires Formula 1600 (EPIC RACING!!!)
Edit:I do not mean to make this a weekend long GTG, but one where we could spend some time cooing over our cars and then spend time with our friends/family as we wish 
Edit #2: If this doesn't fly, I will probably try again later.
Edit #3: Posted some vids to give a glimpse of the different groups of racecars attending this weekend.

Good post - good suggestion - glad being new hasn't made you shy about suggesting a get together.
Over the years I've done a lot of track days and attended a lot of ALMS events at Mosport and love it there ... having said that I've never been to this event - I'm going to check out and see if I can make it work with the wife and kids.
Thanks for bringing this out.
Anyone else?

Cost of tickets/camping for the weekend will usually run a bit over 100$, maybe $130 if you wait until the last minute.

@ZTWSquared - It's always a great weekend of action. Some of my favourite NA series' are there and the crowd is soooo much more family friendly the last few years. As a lifelong attendee (31 yrs) I could not be more pleased to see so many kids in the park again. Meet or no meet I would encourage you to go! The NCATS race last year was epic.. hoping for a repeat.
@drunkinmonkey - Well THAT's pretty cool too.

I should add on that there are discounted, day trip prices, but you pay for the remainder of the weekend and are refunded as you leave for unused tickets.

I don't know if I would camp. I doubt it. Every time I go camping S**t hits the fan lol. Let's leave it at that...
But I would go for the day provided the car is rolling and legal. I assume the police will be in full force in the local area just like at most other car events.

Hey guys. OPP are known to set up down the road from the park at the end of the days. As long as you aren't speeding or have outrageously illegal setups you should be ok. Mostly simple speed traps. After all, they will also see Ferraris, McLarens, Porsches, Camaros, Mustangs... all manner of fancy. But yeah, anything obvious would be good to adjust for this weekend.
Maybe we'll look at doing Saturday afternoon. Thanks for replies!

Just going to put it out there that I have two tents anyone can borrow. One small (good for 1 or 2 small people) one larger (good for 2-4ish). Provided promises to not wreck them are made No charge or anything. Both have kept me dry in heavy rains.

Also, while not perfect and probably not especially paint/low friendly, this is what I know as one of the only fun driving routes in my area. :/ But just so happens to be a nice scenic route to the track.
