Boughton goes racing

TORONTO -- Alan Boughton, president of Trailcon Leasing is turning his long-time passion for racing into a business venture.

Boughton is one of three partners in Canadian Motorsport Ventures, which is purchasing the famous Mosport International Raceway, just east of Toronto.

That company was established by Boughton, famed Canadian racer Ron Fellows, and real-estate developer Carlo Fidani.

Taking over from the Panoz Motor Sports Group, the new owners will build on Mosport’s storied history and reputation for Canadian racing.

Mosport is the country’s largest automotive performance and racing facility, and has hosted almost every class of road racing on its 3.96 km circuit, including Formula 1, IndyCar, sports cars, stock cars, endurance racing, motorcycles, motocross, showroom stock, historic vintage racers, “Big Rig” trucks, and karts.

Myles Brandt will continue to serve in his role as president and GM at the facility.

Boughton is keeping his day job, though, maintaining his involvement in the day-to-day operations at Trailcon.
