Mosport International Raceway - April 14, 2002

Bikecrazie.com is proud to announce that the April 14th Ontario Cup event will be run at Mosport International Raceway. All this has come together in less than a week after no other organizations stepped forward to take the date.

This event will be a rare opportunity for racers to compete on a fully closed circuit. Mosport is a 4km circuit that is well paved, wide and features many elevation changes. Its location is ideal as it is only about 45min North east of Toronto.

More information will become available in the next few days as the final details are ironed out. Some Pictures from the circuit are available at www.bikecrazie.com for more information email ocup@bikecrazie.com

If anyone would like to join the sponsorship team for this unique event please contact the above email address.

The event is being organized by Bikecrazie.com in association with the Cobourg Cycling Club.
