Bill Adam


A trip to what is now a historic race in Canada proved just the thing for a young Scottish immigrant who has since made Canada his home.

Bill Adam attended the 1961 Players 200 race, the first major event at the new road course north of Toronto known as Mosport Park. He was hooked. He collected information on racing gleaned from magazines and trips to the courses while waiting to be old enough to race cars.

Doug Duncan (1996)

Doug Duncan was Canada's most innovative and successful race car builder. He built cars for Ted Hogan (super modifieds and stock cars, including the first tube-frame stock car in Canada), Warren Coniam (the super modified that won the 1987 Oswego Classic) and many top Canadian oval racers. He also built cars driven by Danny Shaw, Grant Clark and Peter Ryan for the fabled Comstock Racing Team.

Greg Moore Remembered                               X  Close
Greg Moore

One of Canada's finest young Indycar drivers, Moore tragically lost his life in the final CART race of 1999.

Recognized as a star from his very start in racing, he won the 1990 North American Enduro karting championship. In 1992 he was the USAC West Formula 2000 champion and in his first year in Indy Lights (1993) he had eight top 10 finishes. In 1994 he finished third in the Indy Lights championship and in 1995 he won the title, winning 10 of 12 races, thus breaking the record set by Paul Tracy who won 9 of 14.

In 1996, he went to CART and had two podiums and one front-row start. In 1997 he won the Milwaukee 200 and became the youngest driver (at 22 years, 1 month and 10 days - just edging Al Unser Jr. by 19 days) ever to win a National Championship race in CART, including when the series was sanctioned by USAC and the AAA. He had one other win that season and finished fifth in points.

He continued to win races and to finish on podiums. He was third in the standings in 1998 and, at the time of his death in 1999, had been signed by the legendary Penske team to partner with Gil de Ferran for the 2000 season.

He is sadly missed by his family, by his fans, by the racing community and by his fellow racers.

Although it would have happened anyway at the end of what was assured to be a brilliant career, Greg was inducted into the Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame in 2000 - far too soon!

We remember him, salute him and miss him.
