NOTE: I've heard from a bunch of racing people who are going to attend this event on Wednesday night. Should be a fun event... see you there. See below for the latest release, from Mini Grid. (GM)

Canadian Racing Legends To Attend 'Red Mist Stuff' on Wednesday night (7 p.m.), at Toronto's Regent Theatre...

 

The movie is the story of the 1981 & 1983 Mosport IMSA Sportscar Races. A two-part, 80-minute documentary, Red Mist Stuff features the likes of Jaguar, Porsche, Lola and March driven by the top sports car drivers in the world including Holbert, Redman, Ongais, Bell, Haywood, Stuck, Hobbs, Rahal, Stommelen; joined by Canadians Eppie Wietzes, Bill Adam, Ludwig Heimrath Sr. & Jr., and 'Mo' Carter! It features fantastic in-car and behind-the-scenes action!

 

We are excited to confirm the attendance of Canadian racing legends Eppie Wietzes (2nd place 1981 with Brian Redman in the Lola T-600) and Bill Adam (Winner in 1983 with Bob Tullius driving the Jaguar XKR5). Eppie and Bill will be fielding questions from the audience after the film. Also adding their experiences will be the films producer/director Lawrence Partington; and host of the 1981 race Paul Chater. Doors open at 6:30pm.

 

Get together with the Toronto motorsport community for a night you will not want to miss!
