Lumberjacks and Firefighters coming to @HondaIndy

Verizon IndyCar drivers Sebastian Bourdais and James Hinchliffe grabbed some STIHL chainsaws to promote the upcoming Festivals to be held at the 2014 Honda Indy Toronto. The quick media tour came to Exhibition Place on Tuesday, June 24 to highlight the off-track activities that will occur during the 2inTO doubleheader race weekend July 18-20. Posted by Joe Hamilton.

“The festival aspect of Honda Indy Toronto continues to grow,” said Charlie Johnstone, president of the event, at a special track-side media preview today. “Not only do we have a double-barrelled weekend with two full-points Verizon IndyCar Series races and the usual super-charged menu of support races, but we have also made some very special additions to our entertainment package. We think our fans will be really happy with what we‘ve come up with.”

Honda Junior Red Rider program representatives showed up with a couple of tiny motorcycles. "Also part of the entertainment mix is the return of Honda Canada, with its Junior Red Rider program and the Honda World exhibit, featuring games, activities and racing-inspired displays for race fans of all ages. Designed for kids aged 6-12, the Junior Red Rider program teaches the fundamentals of motorcycle and off-road riding using appropriately-sized motorcycles and full safety gear, in a fun, controlled and safe environment."
