Our year ended with some fierce competition from old favourites to new exciting drivers. The results also reflect the core focus of Ontario Time attack that emphasizes “competitive driving technique” and not what you drive.
Our indexing system allows older gems to compete with new cars and technology, older drivers with young guns and stiff competition with imports, euro and domestic branded vehicles. Watch these champions because they all contributed to the exciting finish in the 2015 Shootout results which are posted later on this communication.
Here are the top 5!
