Late season race result summaries from Ontario’s Canada Heads Up circuit…..

Canada Heads Up’s 2026 season wrapped up with a fury of win lights and new records – during its final two race events — from Toronto Motorsports Park.

Race 5 of the series (Sep 12-13) presented by Speedwire Systems, Nash Competition Engines, Miska Trailers and Head Rush Apparel, saw the series push its way into fall weather!

However, with heavy cloud cover, the air quality was just not good enough for crazy fast ETs!

Pro 10.5 saw Bill Riddle (from Michigan) take the win in the finals over Mauro Caringi. Super Street young-gun Dylan Stevens made his way back into the winners circle topping Pano Moros in the finals. Tyler Kranendonk continued his class dominance in X275 taking the win from the number 1 qualfied spot over Adam Basterache. Anthony Daversa returned to EZ Street competition for the first in 2026 and took the win over Matt Glassford from the number 1 qualified position.

Michigan’s Bill Riddle rode two consecutive late season event wins to the overall CHP points championship for Pro 10.5 racing.

Landon Swain doubled up while winning at CHU race #5

Phil Sampson took his first win in the ultra-competitive Street275 class, over Sean Devine. Mike Valvasori carried on his winning ways in 4.50 marking down a 3-in-a-row with his win over Dave Bogaset. In 5.0 Warriors, Mike Gentile took his first win of the season over Jack Vanderweil. Class veteran Dan Morrison took the win in the 5.50 Index class over new comer Sima Alfaqih. Brant Rossi carried on his winning ways, taking our Ryan Fogan in Pro Bike and Mickey Dinnoo made it 5 in a row, winning over Damian Tong in SWB Bike. Other class winners were: Vasylyy Lukivskyy, Ryan Fogan, Landon Swain (doubled), Joe Mecurio, Jeff Vanbeek, Joe Parent, Jim Tafano, Glenn Tovey, Jason Jean, Carter Daniels and Jack Snell.

The 5.0 Warriors class win went to Mike Gentile’s cool Corvette.

Glenn Tovey was Sportsman class winner at CHU/TMP with his immaculate Malibu.

The Canada Heads Up – Shootout Series Champion Finals (Oct 2-4) presented by Speedwire Systems, Nash Competition Engines, Miska Trailers and Head Rush Apparel welcomed the IHRP Canadian Pro Modified series at the last event of the season!

The pits were jammed, the air was great, the track tight and records fell!

In Pro 10.5, presented by Quality Plus Compressors, Bill Riddle took out Tony Presto in the finals, securing his championship, however, not before Mauro Caringi could take away his ET record as Mauro left the season with a jaw-dropping 3.93 secs @ 214 mph records!

Mauro Caringi ended the CHU 2026 season with a boom – propelling his Camaro to both ends of the series records for Pro 10.5 class racing!

After a string of broken race cars, Paul Bahwan took the tree for the win in VP Racing Fuels Super Street, locking in his Championship!

Flipping race five’s results, Adam Bastarache finished off the season with a win over class champion and new record holder Tyler Kranendonk (4.13 @ 170). Brandon Silva took out Steve Splash in the finals of Crosstown Engines EZ Street. Five Nine Motorsports Street275 saw another first time winner – Sue Cooper take out Jay White in the finals.
