  • John Webster inducted to Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame!

    Realize most of you are not in the area... but it's here more to just let people know who have met the Webster's over the years.

    Hi all!

    This is a quick note to let you all know that Toronto Outboard Racing Club member and Stock Outboard racer John Webster has been inducted into the prestigious Canadian Motorsport Hall of Fame! www.CMHF.ca

    CONGRATULATIONS JOHN!!

    The induction ceremony and gala dinner will take place in Toronto, Ontario on April 23 at the On The Park Convention Centre
    http://www.eventsonthepark.ca/

    This is a jacket/tie deal... I believe last year was the first time you didn’t have to wear a tux! Haha.

    Tickets are $195 and come with an $80 charity tax receipt if requested.

    There is good interest so far in people going. It’s a rare occasion and recognizing one of the boat racing world greats! To give you an idea... I believe John won 42 National Championships in his 51 years of competition and set 4 speed records in two countries! And did you know John joined TORC in 1952!! It’s founding year! And just stepped down as its President this past fall! Amazing!

    Another thing that might interest you to the Gala is the guest speaker at this year’s dinner is race car great Bobby Rahal.

    If you are interested in going, or even just congratulating John, you can reach him at webby12@sympatico.ca

    I’m not sure the deadline for tickets, but I wouldn’t delay in letting John know if you have interest. He can give you full details.

    I’ll be going, maybe see you there!

      Congratulations John!

      John Webster can be considered a living legend who's racing career is unmatched. John has been an inspiration, an influence, a mentor, a teacher, a competitor and a friend to so many in stock outboard and modified outboard over the years. I can honestly say that it has been my humble honor to have raced with John in the past. Truely a statesman of our sport.

      Thank you for all that you have contributed. You deserve the recognition.

        Hi John,
        Congratulations ~! You have earned this right for sure. I always enjoyed our "racing" together. We may have "rubbed" a little but never splintered~!
        You have given me many memories in BSH...the "best" class ever in APBA~!
        My warmest thoughts to you at this time,
        Bill "racer" Giles
