Feb 2009 Induction Gala Postponed
|
|
In light of the recent economic downturn, and after careful and great
consideration, the Board of Directors of the Canadian Motorsport Hall
of Fame has decided to postpone the February 2009 Inductee Gala to 2010.
North American financial and economic factors that are occurring at this time
lead the Board to feel that it is unreasonable to ask Inductees and
patrons to spend their money on the extravagance of a such a gala.
Postponing the Gala to 2010 will allow us to ensure a meaningful and
memorable experience for all inductees and other attendees.

15th Annual Gala a Hit
|
The Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame's 15th annual Induction Gala took place
on Saturday, February 23rd, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre on the
final evening of the Canadian International Auto Show partly taking place in
the same building. The evening was one of celebration and reflection as a
sold out house welcomed the newest inductees into the hall and listened
intently to each of their speeches. Additionally all attendees were treated
to the wonderful reflections on racing from guest speaker Alain de Cadenet
who charmed all with his memories of a more glorious time, and gave advice
to the young racers who were present.

Featured Honourable Member ...
British Empire Motor Club (2003)
Had it not been for the British Empire Motor Club and its members, who organized major motorsports events and also helped to develop racing circuits such as Edenvale, Harewood Acres and Mosport Park, it is very likely that motorsport in Canada would not be as successful as it is today. Formed originally in 1928 as a motorcycle racing club (its first event was a scramble), it has gone on to organize more motorsports events - including car and motorcycle races, hill climbs, ice races, scrambles, trials and rallies - than any other club in Canada. The club promoted its first motorcycle road race in 1931 on a 1.5-mile closed circuit at the Bridle Path and Post Road in what is now midtown Toronto. By the mid-30s, it was organizing motorcycle races on the sand at Wasaga Beach - and the crowds were huge. In 1939, the club decided to accept car enthusiasts as full members but auto racing was not promoted until 1950 when a motorcycle-car program was held at an old airport at Edenvale, near Stayner. Sixteen cars entered that first event. Six years later, when the club moved its activities to Harewood Acres near Port Dover, 122 cars were entered for the first auto race there. In 1958, the members - in a huge gamble - took an option on a piece of property north of Bowmanville and the first competitive event, on May 24, 1959, at what became Mosport Park was - what else? - a motorcycle scramble . The club, with partners, operated Mosport until 1966 when it was sold to private interests. Literally thousands of people have enjoyed membership in the British Empire Motor Club. Still organizing races after all these years, the club celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2003.
