TORC Members,
Antique Classic Boat Society Toronto in partnership with TORC is proud to celebrate 100 Years of Boat Racing, Saturday July 6, 2013, at Muskoka Wharf, Gravenhurst. This celebration will feature the re-launch of restored Miss Canada IV, vintage inboards, and outboards inclusive of current racing classes.
ACBS has invited TORC to showcase Outboard Racing on water and via static display. There will be 2 two hour on water demonstrations through the day, late morning and afternoon. Inboards will be out for an hour followed by Outboards. Muskoka Bay will be closed to local boat traffic by authorities, with a dedicated oval course established for Inboards and another for Outboards. TORC and ACBS Exec have been collaborating several months, see attachments for event details.
Tentatively, TORC will feature the following outboard classes, each to demonstrate 15min on water flights:
- BCH: 20H and 20SSH
- CSH: 30H and Yamato 302
- T-850
- DSH/DMH: 44XS and 55H
This WILL be the Greatest Race Boat Show in Canadian History.
It WILL provide TORC with tremendous exposure to new racers, current and potential sponsors.
It WILL provide the general public, boating community, racing and vintage enthusiasts with a distinct flavor of who we are, what we do, and our mission to promote and grow family oriented outboard racing in Canada.
However, TORC’s representation on this spectacular day is only as strong and convincing as our member’s enthusiasm to represent TORC with passion, front and center.
We require boats on water for demo, and want ALL classes represented in the static display area, inclusive of ASH, CSR, Drags, T-Cat, T750/850, manned by enthusiastic volunteers prepared to passionately share TORC, and racing in Ontario. WE NEED VOLUNTEERS AND BOATS!!!
For all the other work we do promoting TORC(eg: TIBS, Racer School, online promo, etc….), this will be the single most significant event in the foreseeable future.
Read MISS CANADA IV update below, painstaking detailed restoration, reward of completion, upcoming testing, and public unveiling. See Jamie’s video link below.
TORC has a history with MC IV. June 2011 was TORC and MC IV’s weekend return to Gravenhurst after a LOOONG absence. From our resurrected race she went directly to restoration.
