Big screen legend, Paul Newman has passed away at 83 years of age.

While the general public will remember Newman’s acting talents, many will remember another side of him. The Racer. With success on track as a driver and off track as a team owner, Newman had a passion for life and racing that stayed with him till the end. As recently as this past summer, he visited Lime Rock Park to take his last turn behind the wheel of a race car.

We have lost a shining star.

One of our readers favourite posts from the archives are the photos we took of Lightning McQueen and Sally Carrera when they visited the NASCAR Speed Park at Vaughan Mills Mall. We’ve taken these pics and added them to a nice new gallery, rather than the old Flickr page. Enjoy.

Edit: With the new version of Wordpress, we can now offer the gallery right here!
