Carrabba's Team Blythe Races at the Toronto Grand Prix

Carrabba's Team Blythe went up to Canada to take part in the Toronto Grand Prix. The city of Toronto rolled out the red carpet for the race teams. They did a wonderful job with Race Village. The Race Village was visited by over 100,000 spectators over the three day weekend in July. Beautiful weather combined with super fast boat racing made for a spectacular weekend.

The Race Village was held at Ontario Place where they held rock concerts including performances by Nickleback and other top name recording artists. At Race Village they had all kinds of things for fans to do, including log flumes, rides, eats and treats.
