We had an amazing turnout at this year's Drag Day over at Toronto Motorsports Park. Everyone go a chance to learn the basics of drag racing, as well as have some fun down the quarter-mile.

We'd like to extend a big thank you to Vanessa and Neil at Toronto Motorsports Park for helping us organize such a great event. Vanessa met us first thing in the morning, and she hooked us up with Neil, the Track Technical Director. Neil allowed us to make student and instructor full passes, which was just the best thing we have hoped for.

Special thanks go out to Craig Read, Andy Laquerre, Mike Laquerre, Dan Phair and George Hadler for helping out with event set-up, instructions, and the bracket race. Thanks also goes out to all our club members and their families for taking pictures (including Fern Taylor) and showing up in support of our event.
