As this is a combined race with MKC, paddock space is very limited, and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.  Please complete the pre-registration form (see below), and hand in to us with your payment as soon as possible in order to guarantee your paddock spot(s).   Also, there will be no street parking permitted in the immediate area of the Hershey Centre.  Therefore, all participants are strongly encouraged to pre-register for this event, to avoid disappointment.  

There will be overnight security on-site in the paddock area.

This is a POINTS event for both TKC and MKC, although racers from other clubs are invited to attend.

It is very important that all vehicles and trailers enter the grounds of Hershey Centre from one direction only.   You must go to Kennedy Road, and then turn onto Rose Cherry Place, and proceed to the entrance of the South Lot, as shown on the map below by the black arrows.

Entry into the South Lot is for the purpose of trailer parking.  Only those who have registered for the event will be granted access to the paddock area.  If you have not registered, you will have to pull over to one side and see the event registrar first, before being allowed to enter the paddock to park your trailer.

Once your trailer has been parked and unhitched in the designated paddock space(s),  all towing vehicles must park in the North lot.  T
owing vehicles, including campers and RV's, are not permitted to park in the designated paddock spaces.

The Spec Fuel station is the ESSO station, located at the SW corner of Hurontario and Britannia Rd. East -- see map below.

Spec Tires:  MKC members may use their club's spec MG tires.  TKC members must use club spec Vegas.  All other visiting drivers are permitted to use their club spec tires.
