No idea, Jim. I haven't seen any published numbers.

Generally are there a lot of race fans in Canada for Sports Car Racing? In the US it seems to have fallen way off. Sebring wasn't even on regular TV. I remember going to Canada to watch Can Am races and there were a lot of fans but I'm dating myself.

Great to see some FCHATTERS actually race.

Quebec is MAD for racing - see F1 Montreal, Trois-Rivieres and the NASCAR/Grand Am Montreal events. The Canadian Touring Car series is made up of mostly Quebeckers.

The rest of Canada, not so much. We may see a resurgence of interest here with the new ownership of Mosport, now Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, and the improvements already under way. It's clear they want to attract bigger events like a Nationwide or Grand Am date.

Thanks, Jim, there's nothing quite like racing a sports car.
