Comments from last year’s successful bidder,

“I just wanted to let you know that my wife and I had an absolutely outstanding weekend at Mosport with General MacKenzie. Lew was extraordinarily generous with his time, we were made to feel like good friends and members of the Mortimer Racing Team.  It was exciting to watch the races and see Lew win on Saturday and receive the overall championship on Sunday.  It was truly a great experience.
