Mosport: BEMC Indian Summer Trophy Races this weekend

On Track This Weekend At Mosport – The BEMC 56th Annual Indian Summer Trophy Races

How’s this for a list of past winners: Allen Berg, Francis Bradley, John Cannon, Mo Carter, Yvon Duhamel Ludwig Heimrath Sr. (four times!), Gary Magwood and Peter Ryan.  No it’s not the Player’s 200, the Pepsi Canadian Grand Prix or some other major event weekend from Mosport’s past.  These drivers have all topped the podium at the  BEMC Indian Summer Trophy Races. 

Duhamel won a motorcycle in 1967. From 1955 to ’71 they raced cars and bikes together on the same weekend.

This weekend at Mosport,  the British Empire Motor Club (BEMC) and the Canadian Automobile Sport Clubs (CASC) are presenting the 56th Annual Indian Summer Trophy Races (Sept. 18-19).

The event features the three-hour War Bonnet Enduro on Saturday afternoon along with races in GT: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, Formula Ford and Formula Libre.  Cars will be on track both Saturday and Sunday at 9 am. Tickets are $15 and available at the gate.
