OK, so we are changing things up here, the announcement for next year's
Kastner Cup usually happens at this year's Kastner Cup. But with some
extenuating circumstances at play, and I think it makes sense to get
this information out there now as racers are putting together their 2025
race calendars.
In June, 2026, the Kastner Cup returns to where it all started, at
Mosport! Otherwise known as the Canadian Tire Motorsports Park, in
Bowmanville, Ontario, Canada. The track is just east of Toronto. We will
be joining the legendary VARAC Vintage Grand Prix, held Father's Day
weekend in the middle of June.
We are announcing this over a year out because US based racers who have
not done a border crossing with their race cars are leery about what is
involved, and a passport is pretty much required these days. Passports
take time, especially for first time passport applications. Plus, for
those who have not enjoyed the track and the unbelievable VARAC
hospitality, I highly recommend considering running the 2025 VVGP as a
precursor to the main event in 2026. Not only will you gain confidence
with the border crossing, but Mosport is a VERY fast track and getting
some laps under you belt in '25 will pay dividends for '26!
I have run this event around 20 times now and have taken my race car in
and out of Canada each time with no issues. The border crossing is easy,
I tow a box trailer with a Class A RV and have never had to leave the
driver's seat. I believe the folks who tow with open trailers get even
less questions, as the border folks can plainly see what you are up to.
I am happy to field any questions on the border crossing as we get
closer to the event, but what is required for those of you without a
Passport is to start working on obtaining one!
To recap, we are going to Lime Rock in 2025 over Labor Day weekend, and
in 2026 we are going to Mosport over Father's Day weekend!
Cheers
