Good call as it really did turn out to be a great weekend! I love going to Ohsweken. Wish I could be there for the Nationals but I will have to wait until next year.
They really do a great job running that track. The staff/kids are all so friendly and helpfull, the camping is so old school fun. Well worth the drive from Barrie.
Cheers!
