Photo: My sons very first pass in his newly acquired Jr. Dragster. I stood behind him and went to help and explain the basics and I didn't have to. From the pits to the start line he was cheered on and given encouragement and he had a following all the way down. When his pass was done almost the entire attendance was waiting for him clapping and screaming. The atmosphere at the track is like no other, the sense of family and community is bar none.

Northern Ontario has a lack of permanent motorsports events and facilities.

The vast majority of all motorsports related events in Northern Ontario are at non-permanent facilities and only take place once a year. Thousands of racers from Northern Ontario travel South or East to Quebec up to 500km one-way all year long just to race at various events.

Our region has lost out on so many events and opportunities due to the lack of these facilities, our communities have missed out on job opportunities and careers, and many of us (myself and family included) have lost a way to spend our free time and disposable income.



Our dream is to bring motorsports back to the North. We want a place to drag race, we want a road course. We want a dirt track, dirt strip, mudbogs, go-karts and anything else we can fit. Why? Northern Ontario has absolutely nothing to host these events, we have to travel hours just to go see a good race. We want a safe place for Winter motorsports, to get people off the lakes and stop the loss of lives. All in one place. Safe, sanctioned and controlled. A place where children can ride the vehicles they own in the way they want, with safety and ems teams on site while parents do the same just meters away.

Most of all we want a permanent facility that will bring jobs, businesses, tourists and better our community. To be a stronghold in the North and help to develop strong business partnerships and take Northern Ontario Tourism to a whole new level. Our plan and commitment is to build this facility right in the middle of Northern Ontario. In doing this we will remain community driven and offer a percentage of the revenue each year to both build jobs and businesses in the North. We want to provide funding for children to get into racing that normally could not afford it. We want to take a lucrative business model and use it for the benefit of many, rather than the few that could afford to build it. Please help us to help you. Together WE WILL bring motorsports and big name shows to the heart of the North.
