Racing excitement in the heart of downtown Toronto will return July 10-12, 2009 as Andretti Green Toronto (AGT) has a sponsorship deal with Honda Canada. The Honda Toronto Indy sponsorship will last several years and the 2009 race season will see 18 races including the Toronto location. Check my earlier blog entry here for pictures of a previous race in Toronto.
I am hoping that with a major sponsor like Honda the excitement can be brought back to open wheel racing in Ontario's capital city. For fast paced race action you can also check out the NASCAR Canadian Tires Series - here is a video I made showing a day at the Cayuga Race Track in 2008.

Cayuga NCATS August 30, 2008
I join a Canadian Tire rep for a picture in the winners circle during the NASCAR Canaian Tire Series race held at Cayuga on August 30, 2008.
During the race the lights on the track went out three times and each time the race was halted. During one such lull Joe Hamilton took my picture as we hang in the pits.
The real winner of the race was #9 Mark Dilley.

Photos from the pits - 07 Nascar Canadian Tire Series - Cayuga
I join Joe Hamilton in the pits at the Cayuga Speedway Park in Ontario for the May 26, 2007 Nascar Canadian Tire Series. Joe provided the following picture of me on the track in front of the line of race cars.
This is the view from the entrance of the pits looking into the pits.
Joe is helping to cover the Nascar north race on behalf of Inside Track Motorsport News.
Greg MacPherson, the editor for Inside Track, was also present for the race. Greg was told to go a few places to get his press pass and when we arrived on site we found him being chauffeured around on a golf cart. I had attended a car event at the Toronto Congress Centre and had won tickets to the Cayuga Race by answering a question (what magazine did Greg work for?) and for $10 upgraded the ticket to a pit pass.
Also joining Greg were his photographers Chris and Pierre. I had met Chris while photographing at the 2006 Toronto Grand Prix.

We also met photographers Ramesh and Michael from another magazine covering the race - PRN. I met Michael at the Grand Prix as well. Also in attendance were about 15 other photographers and TSN (The sports Network). The coverage was high because this was the first race of the new Nascar racing series running in Canada (it used to be called CASCAR until the recent takeover).
Ramesh at the pit exit.
TSN gets some video footage of one of the drivers.
The gathering of the photographers was great and I look forward to meeting them again.
