Hey CMOC-ers ... there are some great events going on at Mosport International Raceway this summer. I thought I'd post the major ones, although there is pretty much something happening EVERY weekend at Mosport. If you've got the itch to see some live road racing check out Mosport first. I've already got tickets for the the Grand Prix of Mosport event at the end of August!

Drivers in Canada’s top stock car championship will show their stuff on one the world’s most challenging road courses as the NASCAR Canadian Tire Series makes its first of two stops at Mosport in the High Octane 200. The Castrol Canadian Touring Cars are back for their second of three Mosport rounds.
