It's a crock. Canadian event insurance stipulations are ridiculous, at least as far as Ontario goes. It's near financially impossible to bring a controlled racing environment to anywhere new in Ontario because of all the steep regulations you have to follow. You have to provide medical personnel, check all participating cars... try and set up a "track" day and see what happens.
Better yet, why don't we just ask Rich (GapBoyPCS)? I'm pretty sure he knows the inner workings of the SVTOA On-Track meets.
Street racing has been around in different parts of the continent for over 70 years. It's not going away tomorrow because El Commandante Harper says so.
Also, I don't like the reference that he's defending the "Canadian way of life". Are all Canadians supposed to drive like 90 year-old, nearsighted senior citizens? Are we supposed to lose all passion for our vehicles?
Perhaps if Harper put more effort into actually cleaning up the country's infrastructure, building a proper coast-to-coast highway system and did something serious about serious crimes (the lack of punishment for rapists, pedophiles and murderers in Canada is appalling... STILL), I'd have more respect for him.
Until then, he's a means to an end for GWB's Canada-as-the51st-state agenda.
