On Saturday, November 10, VARAC (Vintage Automobile Racing Association of Canada) will honour its champions at its Annual General Meeting. The event will take place from 4 to 6 p.m., at the Sheraton Parkway Hotel, in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Based in Ontario, VARAC is the premier Vintage Automobile Road Racing Club in Canada with members from the Prairie Provinces, the US, Europe and, of course, Ontario and Quebec.

We race cars made in 1989 or earlier, and split our cars into 4 age groups:

• Pre-war – including post war MG T series cars (as they were built to pre-war designs)

• Vintage – for cars up to 31 December 1961
