Ted Barnes Racing

Ted's racing career all started back in 1987 at Dragway Park in his Datsun 510, with a 4-cylinder engine & manual transmission. From that point on, Ted was hooked. The car began to evolve into a serious race car by 1990 and P.I. was on board as a sponsor early on.  www.tedbarnes.com

Ted's dad, Bill "The Clapper" Barnes, working alongside him on the 510 a few years ago.

After having the P.I. logo on the side for so many years, it's fitting that a little P.I. remains on the car.

While these suggestions are just local to us, there are still many small businesses across Canada that deserve your support. Whoever you choose to procure from, be sure to do it often - so you're not like the people calling us to be surprised we are closed and wondering where to go now. If we don't all support small businesses, soon enough Amazon will become our only choice.


Thank you to everyone who has been part of our 58-year history. It’s been a great ride!
