No longer too long within the past I’ve discovered this poster referring to an unused proposal for a Toronto Huge Prix in 1969(around the the same self-discipline as the fresh Indycar circuit). Can somebody shed any extra records on this? Thanks!

The “Chequered Previous” is a obliging guide and nearly treasure a bible referring to the historical previous of favorable motorsports in Canada. It mentions this failed proposal.

Trek was mainly the muse of a broad pocket guy by the title of John Basset (created CTV, owned Toronto Argonauts, owned Toronto Telegram which folded but resurrected as Toronto Solar). Song layout was assorted to the stylish day one Indycar makes employ of but it was the same in that autos raced around the CNE grounds (attributable to this truth Lakeshore Raceway title).
