thank you but, not cool, is this the attitude of the site?

i lived in the city with the highest vehicle thefts per capita in north america and i still have it.

but, if thats the case, i can take the pic down and just enjoy it myself. no biggie.

I didnt mean it that way. Its a very nice car and it would be sad to see it gone. The GTA has very high theft rates also. Stay away from Sherway Gardens and Yorkdale Mall.

Do you mean like streetracing? TCC is anti-streetracing along with the police who will seize your car and crush it if you get caught. The are a few tracks in the area if thats what you're looking for.

Meets happen every Wednesday night.

"streelegal" is the term used for legal racing of streetlegal cars at sanctioned track.

i am an avid racer, legally of course out of mission raceway park in mission BC

just wondering if there is anything like that around here.

HADA has events every month and there are 3 or 4 road courses all within about 2 hrs drive at the most from Toronto. Check the competiton forum for more info.

There is also a dragstrip near Hamilton that many people frequent called the Toronto Motorsport Park.

Welcome to TCC. Clean car.

There at track events held by various affiliates such as Battle Endless every few months, check the competition section for street legal racing.

thanks everyone. i mostly do drag events, but i love to rip up the auto-x events once in a while. i wont be doing much since i sold off all my other sets of wheels/tires before my move, but i would like to race a bit with street tires at a dragstrip in the next bit before the car comes off the road. i would also like to meet some of the guys, as really, i dont know a soul around here.
