Toronto’s premier annual Motorama provides view to drag racing both past & present….

Some drag racing orientated photo highlights from the 2025 edition Motorama Custom Car & Motorsports Expo presented just recently at the GTA International Centre.

Three Ontario drag racing facilities were on hand promoting their upcoming season schedules:  Shannonville Dragway, Toronto Motorsports Park and Grand Bend Motorplex.

The booth for Ian Hill’s thriving Canada’s Heads Up Series was well represented by the Outlaw Pro Street participant cars raced by Pat & Frankie Doldo, Maura Caringi and Mike Valvasori.

Race fans attending did get a close up look at Rob Horner’s “Sonic Assassin” Jet Dragster which was part of the Shannonville Dragway display.

A wild and wide variety of Nostalgia Cars on-hand gave fans a glimpse of drag racing’s deep history.

Ontario’s very colourful and rather infamous “Ant Hill Mob” team displayed both their current Top Fuel Dragster (driven by Smax Smith) and also their “coming soon” AA/FA to be driven by Smax’s son Aidan.

That is ‘Bone Shaker’ Jet Truck Crew — Rick Kopp and Christine Palmer — pictured with (L-R) AntHillMob’s Aidan Heatley-Smith, Stu Davis and Claudio Varrasso.
