Finally it’s time for the 2008 VARAC Festival. The focus this year is on the Can Am series. If you’ve never seen the ground pounders in action, this is your chance to see some of the most exciting machines ever built. This year’s gathering is also a stop for the Lola 50th anniversary tour. Of course there will also be the usual collection of sedans, sports cars and open wheelers. The Festival is at Mosport today and tomorrow. You can be sure we’ll have tons of photos over the next few days.

It’s been a while since I’ve updated any shots from the 2007 VARAC Festival, so for today I’ve added a bunch of paddock shots to the gallery.

This weekend VARAC will celebrate it’s 27th Vintage Festival at the historic track at Mosport and what a weekend it will be. This is also the 40th anniversary of the famed Trans Am series. Mosport is one of the original tracks the the Trans Am ran at and there is no better place to see these ground pounders race. In addition to the on track action, there is a huge car show in the infield. Don’t forget to walk around the paddock, where you can get up close and personal with some of the coolest racers in the world. If you’re really unlucky, you might even find me wandering the paddock on Saturday afternoon.
