Editorial Exhaust

Wow, what a month it's been. It reallyseems like just yesterday, I was putting thefinishing touches on the September issueof the Link.

Oh, maybe it was. Yep, they're probablystill in the mail as I write this. Well, aftera month at the helm, I've learned an

important lesson, and I've been able toimplement it too... Don't leave The Linkuntil the last minute. Last month, it was 4am... Tonight, I'm closing on 1:30, buthuzzah, I'm nearly done.

And, just for fun, as submitted by RichardMuise:"The really extraordinary thing about thescheduling of this year's British Grand Prixin April is that it just happened like a trickof the light. At the weekend, everybodyand his dog disclaimed responsibility forthe fiasco. An Act of God, then, I mused toa friend in the paddock as we sheltered

under an awning 'No,' he replied. 'Berniesays it was nothing to do with him...'"

Greg Williams ReturnsBehind The Wheel Of The

#2CARQUEST ProTruck

2002-09-14Ottodrome Racing was respectfullypostponed from September 11th to

the 12th so this is Thursday nightracing. Greg Williams of G. W.Roofing returned behind the wheelthe CARQUEST #2 Main StreetRacing ProTruck. He was impres-sive in his final 2002 ProTruckSeason Ottodrome race. (There arestill races at Ottodrome, but theProTruck Season is done). Gregstarted the first heat from theeighth place position and easilystayed with the more experiencedfield. The second Heat race saw

Greg starting from the third placeposition. Greg raced very well andheld his position for most of therace while several trucks tried toget by. In the Feature race Gregstarted from the eleventh spot. Hegained a number of positionsthroughout the 30 lap race as heturned lap times competitive to theleaders. Between cautions andtight 'end of season' racing compe-tition, Greg capably went on to fin-ish tenth. Good Racing Greg!

Greg continues to gain valuableracing experience. Looking for-ward to watching him in the 2003ProTruck Series.Thursday night was also the Otto-drome International Speedway In-augural Mechanics Race! MainStreet Racing's and CARQUEST'sParts Professional, Leo Constanti-no tried his hand at racing behind

the wheel of the #2 CARQUESTProTruck. Leo looked good in hisrookie race appearance. Therewere a few bumps and grinds butLeo managed to avoid them all andbrought the Pro Truck #2 acrossthe finish line. Good going Leo.Well Done!

Ken and the Main Street RacingCrew raced in Quebec City lastSaturday in the RIOPELLE RAC-ING #92 CARQUEST/PRAXAIRCASCAR. They took a 24-hourround trip to Autodrome St. Croix,outside of Quebec City, for the200-lap ADL Race. A field of 27CASCARs made it to start thistough endurance race. Ken startedfrom the 22nd position after work-ing on adapting the CASCAR #99set-up for the banked, 5/8 mile

oval track. Ken drove well gainingseveral positions in the first fewlaps and held them despite a lessthan desirable "push" in the sus-pension. That required a lot ofsteering work on Ken's part. Aquick pit stop on lap 42 for fueland an adjustment to fix the sus-pension cost a few positions. Onelap after the pit stop and Ken hadreturned to race speed. There wasa three-car accident in turn one.Ken had nowhere to go but intoone of the spun cars. The accidentdamage ended their racing for theday; a body hanger punctured theradiator. Despite a disappointingfinish, a great time was had by allat this beautiful track located righton the St. Lawrence Seaway acrossthe river from Quebec City. Fanscan sit on the Hill overlooking theTrack and the St Lawrence. MainStreet Racing is looking forward

to next year at the Quebec Citytrack.

Nice to see sponsors Barry Hor-ricks & Bernadette Buiting makethe 4-hour drive to watch Ken inaction and see how the CASCARhandled on the very, very fasttrack. Special Thanks to Main

Street Crew Leo, Greg & Chris formaking the trip and assisting theRiopelle Racing Crew of Mark,Grant, Booker, Brett & Dave withthe #92 CASCAR.

Motorsports asTraining for Life

By Richard Muise

This article is not meant as self-ag-grandizement, it is only meant as away of saying thanks to all thosethat I have learned from in this

sport. I look forward to continuingto learn from you all, and hope Ican do just as good a job teachingthe newest members.

It's only been 4 years since I firstjoined the club, after reading a copyof the Link in the local Honda deal-er parts department. My first expo-sure to the competition was a fewweeks later at a Solo-II event. Atthe time, it seemed like a fun hob-

by, a way of getting that adrenaline

rush on a sunny Sunday afternoon.

During the first year, I thought littleof it being more than a hobby. UntilChris Krepski announced he waslooking for someone to take over aseditor of this newsletter. I waited afew months, wanting to see whoelse would take up the call. Alas, noone did. So I, not wanting to seeChris' good work fall into disuse,volunteered. It was a hard learning

experience - not just for the aspectsof putting together a newsletter, butthe more important lessons of re-sponsibility and accountability.While I do have the opportunity togrow myself in that respect at work,it is most often accompanied by les-sons learned in MCO.

In the club, I started pushing myselfa little more, taking on other taskslike running a Solo-II event or act-ing as registrar for the winter driv-

ing schools. Each time I took on anew role, I could count on the othermembers for help and guidance. Itmade for a very comfortable placeto learn.

In 2001, I worked to get my mar-shal licence. Being a marshal ishuge responsibility. Within themarshal organizations, we absolute-ly count on each other. Equally im-

portantly, the drivers must count on

us. We all know that being on theinside of the spectator fencing is anentirely different world. When itcomes up in conversation withfriends and colleagues, I'm neverable to convey this, but I think mosteveryone reading this knows what Imean. This level of responsibility isnot something I can learn as a pro-grammer, even in the nasty telecomrollercoaster. You can only learnthis in Motorsport.

Last year, I decided I would like toget my race licence. The MCO Ex-ecutive had pushed around the ideaof putting on a school in 2002, butno one had time to devote to organ-izing. It was a huge, scary opportu-nity, but I volunteered to be the or-ganizer. As a programmer, I would

not have been put in charge of a$25,000 project at work. The schoolwas a lot of work, and many peoplewere able to help out. In the end we

put on a great 2-day school. I knowthat I would not have nominatedmyself if I didn't have support fromthe club, and in particular the exec-utive and the Armstrongs.

How do I see Motorsport as train-ing for life? At work, I am in themiddle of a large, 80 person soft-

ware project that is in trouble. Itshows all the signs - managementdoesn't trust the developers andvice-versa, deadlines being short-ened while more features are added,and the common mistake of justthrowing more people at the prob-lem. Over the summer, everyone in-volved was just waiting for the can-cellation.

Our first true test came in mid-Au-gust when our first deadline was

scheduled. We had to run a demo.At the time, no one had even testedthat all the parts, built in 4 differentlocations, would work together. Noone seemed to be willing to takecontrol of this runaway project.Rather than stick my head in thesand and hope that someone wouldsolve the problems, I stepped upand wrestled the project together,telling the developers (who were

my peers - I had no authority overthem) what they needed to do, inwhich order, and then ran the firsttests myself. It blew up, but I im-mediately called everyone responsi-

ble and dogged them until eachproblem was solved. I didn't make alot of friends, but I won the respectof management and my peers. Theylearned to trust me that I would getthings under control. After 4 weeksof 60-hour workweeks, we wereable to run the demo - and we did iton schedule set by management.

On a drive home just after this peri-od, I had realization that there wasno way I would have taken on thisheavy responsibility if I had not al-ready learned how to handle the re-sponsibility from being a marshal

or an organizer for MCO, and theconfidence to use those lessons.Each event I'm involved with inMotorsport, I become a strongerand better person. I know moreabout myself and my limits fromlessons learned as part of our Mo-torsport community.

After I started this article, anotherchapter in the story has broughthome point of this article. In theearly morning of Sunday Sept 15th,

BARC driver Julio Haig lost his lifein a regional race at Mosport. I wasat Mosport that morning, as were anumber of MCO members. I havelost people close to me, but had al-ways been separated by time or dis-tance at the time of their death. It isthrough this tragedy that I amforced to learn that death is also a

part of life. Together, our Motor-sport family can deal with tragedymuch better than as individuals.

Since being at Mosport that morn-ing, I have spoken with a number ofour MCO family as well as fellowCASC members in more distant

part of Ontario (cough). Beingaway from my home in Nova Sco-tia, I can't understate how much I'velearned about my new 'family' inthe past week. We all know we cancount on each other because we are

joined by this sport.

MiscellaneousRumblings II

John "Crash" Powell

1. Some thoughts ...This month's column is shorterthan usual (Do I hear muffled

cheers in the background?) due to awhole bunch of circumstances, andI'll try to catch up in subsequent is-sues. There is one topic, however,that I'd like to touch on fairly brief-ly.

We lost another one of our compa-ny at Mosport this last weekend.Details are sketchy as of this writ-ing, but it seems that Julio Haiglost his car coming out of turn 4,was struck by that of Cliff Daley,

who could not avoid him, and losthis life.

No doubt there will be those whowill raise the old spectres of motorracing being a blood sport, engag-ed in by daredevils with a deathwish, but such is the mere brayingof asses, and can be dealt with at amore appropriate time. Whatshould be said, however, is that bythe mere act of starting their firstrace, Julio and Cliff had already

shown themselves to be a cutabove such small-minded people.Even at the amateur level, and per-haps more so because the driverusually bears the total financialburden, motor racing requires lev-els of intelligence, skills, dedica-tion, and even passion, as well asthe ability to rationally evaluaterisks, that are well above the re-quirements of the vast majorityother endeavours. By this, Julio

and Cliff were and are exceptionalmen, and we should remember thiswhen we offer our prayers forthem, and for their families.

2. From the Murray WalkerSchool of Sportscasting ...

Some sports quotes from the U.K.,gleaned from the July OntarioFarmer:

- "And here's Moses Kiptanui, the19-year-old Kenyan, who turned20 a few weeks ago." (David Co-leman)

- "It's a great advantage to be ableto hurdle with both legs." (DavidColeman)

- On the difficulties of adjusting toplaying football and living in Ita-

ly: "It was like being in a foreigncountry." (Ian Rush)

- "I owe a lot to my parents, espe-cially my mother and father."(Greg Norman)

- "Watch the time. It gives you anindication of how fast they arerunning." (Ron Pickering)

- "If history repeats itself, I shouldthink we can expect the samething again." (Terry Venables)

- "I was in a no-win situation, soI'm glad that I won rather thanlost." (Frank Bruno)

You'll notice that most of these arefrom "run and jump" sports, andno, I don't know who these guysare.

3. It's a small worldIt occurs to me that there are somesimilarities between drivers at theclub racing level and farmers withsmall to medium-sized family

farms. (Yes, another agriculturalepistle!) This is written from amasculine prospective, but I'm surethat those of the feminine gender,being possessed of a greater senseof perception than the male, willhave no problem in making any re-quired adjustments. Well, as theysay in the Valley,pitter-patter, let'sget at 'er.

A. Farmer- He always needs more money.

- Bankers won't return his callswhen he's looking for a loan, sohe gets his wife to call.

- Farmer won't return calls whenhis banker wants a missing pay-ment, so he gets his wife to call.

- His wife often has to take an out-side job to pay household expens-es.

- Repairs to the tractor, machineryand pick-up are done ASAP, but

the re-fill valve in the toilet tankhas been leaking for six months.

- Machinery and equipment is pres-sure-washed ASAP after use, buthis wife's car still has last winter'smud and salt on it.

- If something is needed that can'tbe bought or is too expensive, hecan and will make it himself, or

improvise, regardless of howlong it takes.

- He will only do household choreswillingly when they involve us-ing light machinery, such as ariding lawn mower.

- Outside of daily chores and field-work, he has lot's of time to do"stuff" in the workshop, but notenough to attend his wife'schurch social.

- If he does show up at the social,he will have grease under his fin-gernails and only talk about farm-ing.

- He can operate machinery all daylong with skill, dexterity, bal-ance, and lightning-fast reflexeswith no ill effects except somenormal fatigue, but gets water ev-erywhere and throws his back outwhile washing the kitchen floor.

- He can remember the exact datehe purchased every major tool orpiece of machinery, but can only

remember his wedding anniversa-ry and his wife's and children'sbirthdays if he can relate them tothe date of some farming event.

- His wedding date was scheduledaround farming operations.

B. Club Racer- He always needs more money.- Bankers won't return his calls

when he's looking for a loan, sohe gets his wife to call.

- Club racer won't return calls

when his banker wants a missingpayment, so he gets his wife tocall.

- His wife often has to take an out-side job to pay household expens-es.

- Repairs to the race car, trailer andpick-up (tow vehicle) are doneASAP, but the re-fill valve in thetoilet tank has been leaking forsix months.

I could go on and on, couldn't I? Italso occurs to me that many of the

above could apply to rally driversas well. In addition, I wouldstrongly advise that ladies consid-ering a partnership with any or allof these three, as they could be oneand the same, should study this listvery carefully before making a de-cision. FOREWARNED ISFOREARMED!

4. "Thank Heaven, for LittleGirls Tire Walls...."O.K. the new sobriquet in my by-line. At the Mosport Test Day onSept. 13th, I had a little incident,well two actually, and on the samelap. In the first, I went into two alittle off-line, and between the firstand second apexes, the rear end

stepped out on me. As I'd been alittle loose there a few times be-fore, and the rear end had alwayscome back, I thought little of it. Ifed in some opposite lock, kept myright foot firmly planted on thefloor, and waited. Well, it didn'tcome back, and after bouncingaround some in the gravel at thebottom of the turn, I headed outagain.

Up to speed again, through turns

three and four, and then smartly Iwent down through the chute. Upto turn 5a, I did my usual heel-andtoe downshift in to second, and ...well, the heel part worked fine, butmy toe got nothing! Now in situa-tions such as this, it's marvelloushow quickly the thoughts flashthrough your brain: "Did the brakefluid boil?" "Pump the brakes andsee what you can get" "No, wait aminute, it's never done this before,even under hard braking" "Couldit be a blown brake line?" "But Ichecked them all during the pre-race check" "Wait, there's some-thing at the bottom of the pedal,that must be it." "Better stand onwhat's there and hope for the best.""The fronts seem to be catching,but I'm running out of road - fast.""Wasn't there an old rally trick ofturning the front wheels side-to-side to slow a car down on gravelroads? I'd better try it." "Not

enough, I'm still gonna hit the

tires." And finally "Oh well, theregoes the air dam." Whack!

Well, the air dam did go, and apiece of it took out the radiator.And the front tires were ruined -not just flat spotted, but greatchunks ripped out down to thecords. But thanks to the tire wall,

there was no noticeable body dam-age, and the front suspension remained intact. The culprit was in-deed a brake hose. The braidedmetal covering on the hose for therear brakes had separated from thefitting, and the inner hose had splitNow I know I checked this hose inthe check-up, as I do all lines andhoses, and I've had enough experi-ence with various types of hydraul-ic hoses to know what I'm lookingfor, so why this one failed is a

mystery. I thought it could havebeen as a result of my previous"off", but the line is high enough tohave been clear of any gravel, anddoesn't show any signs of beinghit. Of course, all this meant that Icouldn't make the final Shannon-ville Solo I events on the Saturdayand Sunday, which were my lastchance to get some more points,and just maybe get a little closer tothose $$%&! Z06 CorvettesCould it be that the cause of myproblems was just the day and thedate? It's enough to give one tris-kaidekaphobia!

5. Parting ShotOne of the differences betweencats and dogs is the way they actwhen they want to go outside. Adog will try to push past you asyou're opening the door, while acat will wait and try to rush past asyou're closing it. So, which kindof racing driver are you, a dog or a

cat?

Back and forthUrbano and Gilkes trade

Formula Libre wins at MCOevent at Shannonville

By Mark Atkinson

SHANNONVILLE, ON - TheCASC visited Shannonville's 2.47-km long Pro Track for the Ted Po-well Summer Trophy Races onJune 22-23. Strange weather andstrange luck seemed the order ofthe day, as the rain on Saturdaynever decided whether it was goingto fall or not, and Sunday's sun andheat baked the track and racers.

Formula Libre

The Formula Libre field was disap-pointing as only 13 cars across fourclasses showed up for qualifying.

The slim ranks meant that the carsspread out very quickly, with thebackmarkers getting lapped withinthe first half of the race. TwoF2000s sat on the front row sinceBrent Gilkes had qualified on pole,with Mario Urbano sitting besidehim on the outside. However, bythe first corner, Urbano had out-

dragged Gilkes for the lead. That'sthe way the rest of the race wouldgo, with the two fighting tooth andnail, trading the lead back andforth.

On lap 6, Gilkes pushed too hard,and spun out while making a moveon Urbano. He recovered too late

to challenge for the lead, and triedto make up as many positions aspossible in the remaining laps. Hefinally finished fifth, the last car onthe lead lap, and just over 50 sec-onds behind race-winner Urbano.Farther back, John DiBenedetto(F2000) and Penni-Barker Adams(F4) had a great race, battling backand forth for third spot until Gilkesspun out, putting them both on thepodium. DiBenedetto took secondspot for good on lap 7, however,and managed to hold off Barker-Adams until the end. Barker-Adams' third-place finish was goodenough to win her class, as she wasthe highest-finishing F4 in the race.Fred Hallberg won the FV1600class, and ended up sixth overall,while the only FF1600 in the field,Steve Pickering, didn't even startthe race. Urbano set the fastesttime of the 16-lap race, turning a1:06.453 on lap 4.

For the second race, Urbano startedup front, with DiBinetto besidehim, while Gilkes started in fifthplace. Gilkes had an absolutelylousy start, but he was a man on amission: he started picking up aposition or more a lap, and by lap4, he was breathing down Urbano's

neck.

The two F2000s paired off,and shot off ahead of the

rest of the field. Nose totail, the racers fought hard,with Gilkes never gettingmore than a few feet fromUrbano's rear wing. Theyraced like that for 12 lapsuntil fate struck.

Coming through the finalsequence of corners, thestrut cover on the nose of

Urbano's Van Diemen flew up likethe hood of a car, and stuck openon the front of the driver's helmetIn reflex, Urbano slammed on thebrakes, smoking his four tires inthe process. Gilkes took advantageby zooming by on the inside, andby the time Urbano limped his carinto the pits, Gilkes was long gone.

Urbano stayed in the pits until thevery last lap where he put in a veryslow circuit to officially"complete" the race and collectsome points. Gilkes ended up win-ning the race with a huge lead onthe second-place car.Speaking of second-place, DiBene-detto inherited that position whenUrbano dropped out, and he kept itright until the end. Barker-Adamsduplicated her result from the firstrace by finishing first in F4 andthird overall. Ian Scott ended upfourth, while Paul Ostrom finishedfifth overall and was the top-finish-ing FV1600 after Hallberg droppedout on lap 9. Urbano again set thefastest lap with a 1:07.612 on lap12.

FV1200

The Isseco Kumho FV1200 seriesmade its return to the CASC calen-

dar, although with only 11 cars en-tered, the pack began to spread outalmost immediately during both ofthe June 23 races.

During the first race, Rob Mancinoled the pack to green in his V1200after qualifying on pole, whileLouey Jabouri sat on the outside inhis BRD F1200. On the very firstlap, Frank Steinhausen, who hadstarted third, spun out in his BRDF1200 and ended up at the back of

the pack.

The leaders were nose to tail fornine full laps of the 15-lap racewith Jabouri looking for an open-ing, but Mancino not giving himone. The top five cars lapped al-most in formation until lap 10when Levon Beaudin spun acrossthe grass near turns 2 and 3, and

ended up partially blocking thetrack.

Race officials then red-flagged therace while the safety crews went towork, removing Beaudin's strickencar. After a near-ten-minute stop ofthe race, Mancino again led afterthe restart, followed by Jabouri and

Brad Leliever in his BRD F1200.However, by the time they got tothe back-straight, Jabouri made hismove and out-powered Mancinofor the lead.

Leliever then decided to make arun for the lead, and he managed topass Mancino the same way on-lyone lap later. He then set hissights on Jabouri, and passed himon the next lap going down theback-straight as well. Jabouri

tucked right in behind the newleader, and dogged him over thenext two laps.On the final lap, Jabouri won thepsychological battle on the verylast lap when Leliever overcookedthe corner, spinning off into thegrass at the end of the back-straight, and handing the win to Ja-bouri. Chris Hart in a BRD, andLeliever finished second and thirdafter the stewards disqualifiedMancino, forcing him to start fromthe back of the field for the nextrace. Leliever also ran the fastestlap of the race, posting a 1:17.577on lap 9.

The FV1200 drivers started thesecond race the way they finishedthe first with Jabouri up front withHart beside him, ready to start the20-lap event. As the green flagdropped, Hart out-dragged Jabourito the first corner, and took over

the lead. Leliever was sitting inthird while Steinhausen moved upto fourth from ninth within the firstlap.

From that point on, the driverspaired-off, and the pack began tospread out. Hart and Jabouri startedputting room between themselvesand the rest of the field, whileSteinhausen passed Leliever for

third on lap 4. The pack ran fairlyclean laps until lap 9, when Jabouripassed Hart for the lead. Hecouldn't hold the position, howev-er, as Hart was back up front on thevery next lap.

Leliever looked to be the king ofthe late-race push when he made

his first move, bumping and mus-cling Steinhausen out of the wayfor third, on lap 13. Looking likehe had 20 more horsepower thananyone else did, he then out-drag-ged Jabouri on the back-straight totake over second place one lap lat-er. He made it three passes in threelaps when he did the exact samething to Hart, moving into the leadwith only four laps to go. In a fur-ther display of bad luck, Hart's carbroke, and dropped him to the back

soon after he was passed.

Jabouri wouldn't let Leliever's leadstick, though, as he moved up fronton lap 17. Leliever stuck to hisaxle, though, and wouldn't let himgo, so the two had a great battle forthe last three laps.

On the very last lap, Leliever set

Jabouri up for a pass on the finalhairpin, and when they came out ofthe turn, they were absolutely neckand neck.

At the line, Jabouri won by lessthan a foot, his nose crossing theline before Leliever's. Mancino hadrecovered enough to finish third,only 0.629 seconds behind theleader, with Sam Mandia fourth

and Harry Schneider fifth. Lelieveagain had the fastest lap, this timecrossing the beams in 1:16.659.

Hunting TrophyThe drivers were after big

wins at the MCO TedPowell Summer Trophy

Races

By Mark Atkinson

SHANNONVILLE, ON - The flaexpanse of Shannonville's Protrack was where the CASC'closed-wheel classes did battle athe MCO Ted Powell Summer Trophy races on June 22-23.

Action Front Street Stock

The 10 Nissan Sentras of the Ac

tion Front Street Stock series wer

the first cars to turn a wheein anger on June 22. Theyhad been moved up thschedule - even ahead oCanada GT Challenge Cupqualifying - when the skiethreatened to open up, butthankfully, the rain held ofuntil after their race wafinished. Earlier in the dayTony McGrath had qualified on pole with Ian Phillips sitting on the outsidfor the 10-lap race.From the drop of the green

flag to the waving of the check-ered, McGrath kept his car out frontand Phillips welded himself to hiback bumper, following his everymove and looking for an openingto pass. In fact, the entire top five McGrath, Phillips, Dave DiedrickEdward Wong and Kevin O'Hara

finished the race in the positionthey started in. It wasn't for lack otrying, however, as Phillips madesome great moves in the closinglaps, but was shut out by McGrathat every attempt.

The real action was at the back halof the field, with the pack doingmajor re-shuffles on laps 3 and 5.

Still, it was an extremely clean-looking race, something the StreetStocks haven't always been able toclaim. McGrath also set the fastestlap after posting a 1:22.942 on lap2, beating Phillips' best time by on-ly 0.005 seconds.

The rain wasn't a factor at all on

June 23, since it turned out to be abright, clear and hot day. The rac-ers lined up on the front-straightfor the standing start of the 15-laprace, with Jeff Pacey on the poleand Kevin O'Hara outside him. Un-fortunately, O'Hara flubbed thestart, and watched as four carspassed him in the scramble for thefirst corner. By the time he'd re-covered, he was sitting sixth.Dave Diedrick was a man on amission after starting fourth. Hetook advantage of O'Hara's badstart to move into third, passedWong for second on the next lap,and then passed Pacey for the leadthe lap after that. By lap 5, Die-drick had pulled out a substantiallead, and never looked back. Henever put a wheel wrong, and keptpulling away from the pack, lap bylap.

The field behind him, though, was

racing hard for the remaining podi-um positions. A pack of five carswith Pacey, Phillips, McGrath,Martin Gray and Wong were swap-ping positions back and forth forthe entire race. By lap 12, Phillipshad passed Pacey for second, withMcGrath, Gray and Wong follow-ing and by the time they enteredthe last hairpin on the course, allfive cars were bumping and rub-bing, fighting for position. It wasall for naught, though, as they

completed the last three laps in for-mation to finish behind Diedrick.Fourth-place finisher McGrath hadagain set the fastest lap - nearlytwo seconds faster than anyoneelse - when he turned a 1:22.104on lap 8.

Canada GT Challenge CupThe Canada GT Challenge Cupcars hit the track for qualifying on

June 22, with 11 cars trying to grabthe pole. By the end of the half-hour session, Jacques Villeneuve -no, not that one - had put his yel-low '70s Porsche Turbo on pole af-ter lapping the Pro track in1:09.786. Malcolm Stra-chan in the Konica Cor-vette set the second-fast-

est time and would starton Villeneuve's outside.

The following day, thecars rolled themselves in-to formation, preparingfor the hour-long race.When the green flag drop-ped, second-placed Stra-chan and third-placed JimHarrison stormed pastVilleneuve through thefirst corner. Unfortunately, Stra-chan wouldn't hold his lead as hespun his Corvette onto the grass atthe end of the back straight, allow-ing Harrison to take over the leadwith seventh place-starter Uli Furt-mair moving into second.

Strachan recovered fairly quickly,and slotted into fifth place, but hedropped into the pits only two lapslater. When he finally rejoined therace, his Corvette was minus a

hood in an attempt to try and im-prove the engine cooling after thefront air intakes had gotten cloggedwith dirt. He wouldn't be a factorfor the rest of the race.

Harrison and Furtmair battled upfront, putting space between theirPorshes and the rest of the field.They fought back and forth untillap 8, when they both spun out intothe grass in almost the same placeStrachan had gone off. Harrison

managed to restart and rejoin therace, but would never get his speedback; he finished the race in eighth.Furtmair, on the other hand, tooklonger to get his car under control,and by the time he did, he wasstuck on the grass, far away fromthe track. He was forced to park it,and drop out of the race.

The pace car came out for three

laps, with the field bunching up behind it. Villeneuve led again, fol-lowed by Joel Reiser, Jacques Genereux, Michael Boekdrukker andKen McRae. From that point onVilleneuve was never challenged

for the lead, while the other fourwould stretch out, battling backand forth for position.

McRae kept putting in very consistent laps in his Williams/RenaulLaguna, moving up into third bythe end of the race after starting ineighth, and was the last car on thelead lap by the time the race finish-ed. He was, in fact, catching sec-ond-place-finisher Reiser's Porsche, and had the race lasted anoth-

er five laps, he could have takenthat position as well. Besides win-ning the race, Villeneuve also log-ged the fastest lap of the day with a1:07.476 on lap 37.McRae's result moved him intofourth place in the CGTCC stand-ings, with Reiser ahead in thirdThey made up ground on the pairup top, as Strachan and Harrisonare tied for the lead, despite both oftheir disappointing results.

GT SprintsThe GT Sprints brought the largestfield yet at a race, with 28 cars entered to participate. Unfortunatelyonly 21 cars took to the track forthe first race on June 23. DespiteCotton Mather putting his pseudoLegends car on pole, the story ofthe race was Ken McRae in hisWilliams/Renault Laguna.

McRae had missed qualifyingthanks to a broken water pump,and was forced to start at the backof the field. However, he didn't letthat stop him as he put in a storm-ing drive, passing cars left andright. By the end of lap 6, McRaehad broken into the top five, hav-ing passed 15 other cars to do it.

Meanwhile, Mather had put hisfoot down and stretched out a biglead over second-placed Julio Haiein a Nissan 200SX, putting in greatlaps to keep out front. McRae,though, was faster. His best laptime - 1:13.060 on lap 8 - was over1.5 seconds faster than Mather's.

By the time the checkered flagwaved on lap 17, McRae was little

more than three seconds behindMather in second. Haie finishedthird, despite Steve Kent in a Ca-maro nipping at his heels in a greatbattle. Mike Kilby finished first inGTB and fifth overall in a HondaCivic.In the second race of the day,Mather started up front with Mc-

Rae beside him, the same waythey'd crossed the finish line. How-ever, McRae wasn't content to fin-ish second in this race, and passedMather halfway through the firstlap.From that point on, McRae was un-touchable, stretching out a mon-strous lead. Mather dropped out on

lap 12 after putting up avaliant effort, and handedthe position to Kent,

who'd started fourth. Haiewas third, while GunterSchmidt in a VW Beetleand Phil Cooper in a Maz-da RX7 rounded out thetop five.That's the way they'd fin-ish, with the exception ofCooper, who dropped outon lap 17. Jody Trudeaupicked up the position,and the GTB win as well.

The Bald Head RacingTeam Goes to Targa

Newfoundland

by Jean MacGillivray

As I write this, a tornado is brew-ing off the coast of Nova Scotia,

and the days are ticking down tothe start of Targa Newfoundlandon September 15. Jim Morrow,Craig Seko and Steve Carrick arewaiting at North Sydney for Fridayafternoon, to set sail on the desig-nated Targa ferry. Craig and KarenHamm are racing toward NorthSydney in his Corolla. And I=m athome, having put about 1000 kilo-metres on Jim=s MINI Cooper, andjust loving it!

After nearly a year of preparation,this weekend marks the beginningof our great adventure for the BaldHead Racing Team. Craig has pre-pared his Porsche 944 S2 for the2300-km rally, and with the help offriends and well-wishers, we areabout ready to go.

The guys left early Sunday morn-ing, with Steve Carrick comingalong to help with driving the mo-

torhome, towing the Porsche. Jimtook my Impreza 2.5RS, whichwill be the crew car. I did my bestto find roof racks for the sparetires, but couldn't get ones to fit, sothere will be three people, luggage,Craig Hamm's HAM radio stuff,along with tires and spare parts inmy car as we chase the Porschearound the stages.

Of course, being self-employed,the last couple of weeks would bethe time when work starts to heatup again . . . that's life! So I amwinkling the last bit of productivityout of my tired self before hoppingon a plane Friday night, and meet-ing the guys on Saturday.

It goes without saying that CraigSeko, Jim and Craig Hamm put inlong hours the last week beforethey left. I would like to thanksome of the people who helpedBald Head Racing, as it took agreat deal of effort to get every-thing in place (something that's oldnews to the racers):

- Jaak Laan, who I believe plantedthe idea of Targa Newfoundland inJim's head in the first place, andpresented us with a bottle of fizzyfor drinking or spraying at the ral-ly's end.

- Mike Rouleau, designer par ex-cellence, who came up with theperfect Bald Head logo.

- Rick Miskiman, who kindlyloaned Jim a driving suit.

- Rob Microys, who came to the

rescue by lending Craig his trailerto tow the Porsche in.

- Fellow competitor Evan Gamblin,who loaned me his roof racks(which didn't fit my four-door Im-preza, but the thought was there).

- Mike Kilby, who made sure themotorhome was roadworthy for its

long trip. I understand that therwere four offers of a trailer, sthere are other kind souls out therwhose names I don't know, buwho wanted to help.

- Corey Groves, who worked athe last weekend helping to do lasminute, essential wiring on the mo

torhome and the Porsche.

- Karen Hamm, Craig's wife, whgave up her lunch hours, especialltoward the end, when it turned outhe decals weren't waterproof anhad to be re-done.

- Steve Carrick: although he's noon the team, he volunteered to helCraig drive the behemoth down tNorth Sydney.

- My friend from Guelph, ShareFindlay, who not only gave up hoiday time to crew with us, but gavthe team a generous financial donation as well.

To anyone I've forgotten, my apoogies . . . and thank you!

By the time you read this, the rallwill be over and there will be mantales to tell. But I just wanted t

say "thanks" to those who havhelped. Once again, I have to sait, the MCO has a great bunch opeople! We could not have got thfar without your help.

MCO TeamEnthusiasm at Targa

Newfoundland

Submitted by Jaak Laan

MCO's Bald Head Rally Team pro-vided some reports from "TheRock" and asked that they be sub-mitted to The Link asap. The teamis led by Craig Seko, driver, andJim Morrow, co-driver, in Craig'sPorsche 944 with the support of acrew of so far warm bodies fromMCO in a motorhome, an Imprezachase car and for all we know ahelicopter.

Following is excerpted from CraigHamm's posting to the MCO webrally forum, updates fromwww.targanewfoundland.com andfrom a telephone conversation withJeannie MacGillivray on Septem-ber 18. On the phone, Jeannie keptrepeating one word over and overagain"wonderful!".

"I've seen spectators in Mexico andEurope, but people are just great inNewfoundland," said Chip Johnsof New Mexico (1965 Ford RallySpirit) according to the Targa website.

Craig Hamm reported:Greetings from Clarenville New-foundland!

We all met at the ferry terminal inNorth Sydney, Nova Scotia, lastFriday. Due to the hurricane thathad just passed through, the ferrywas 12 hours late, and we departedthe docks at 3 AM! From havinglived here for 10 years, I can saythat this situation is really a bigpart of being on an island. TheNewfoundland experience had tru-

ly begun.This morning, as I type, Craig andJim are on a 2 hour transit leg toMarystown. Last night saw us re-move the Porsche's transmission ata local garage to fix the linkage.Total costs for a flatbed 'towing' tothe local garage, plus 4 hours of la-bour for two mechanics was $100(NOT their normal rate). Not onlywere the guys efficient, they were

good humoured as is expectedhere. We left the garage at 1:30AM, and Craig and Jim had a driv-er's meeting at 7:20 AM! Other-wise, the car has been very relia-ble, and last time I looked, theywere around 7th or 8th out of some40 competitors.

On the first demonstration dayCanadian Rally Champion TomMcGeer took a right turn wide withthe rear of the car (sliding, a classicFord Falcon rwd car) and they hadto replace the rear axle overnight.He was running by the 2nd pro-logue stage. Standing in the rain Iwatched the Sunbeam Tiger skidoff the road on a treacherousdownhill left (with funny cambers)into the ditch. The weather wastypical Newfoundland, right by theocean, with the taste of salt in the

drops. I managed to get droppedoff by a Steward at Outer Cove,one of the scariest drop offs (cliff)on the route. Both are OK, but thecar is DNF and the co-driver did goaway on a stretcher. This was aftera lunch at Beachy Cove Elementa-ry School. It was a very movingexperience for all the crews to havethese school kids asking them forautographs and the like. It wassmiles all around. Many teamstook away coloured drawings thekids made for Targa Newfound-

land with such things as "TargaRocks" on them. It was a sight Iwill never forget (if only our localpeople were so excited about rally-ing!)

Yesterday I had to drive the RV(yay!) and by pure luck found Jimand Craig at a stage start control(isn't that what the helicopter wasfor? ed.) when I went into a smalltown (Holyrood) to buy gas. I alsomanaged to meet them in Bay Rob-erts for that stage start. New

friends in a 1970 Volvo P1800Ewent off and were then hit by an-other car (1955 Austin Healey100S) and I hear their beautiful caris trashed. This is very sad, as itwas their first rally as a great fa-ther-son team. Super nice guys.Wet road again. Also, Car 0 wentoff the road and "DNF" on the wet.By the afternoon when I caught upin the RV the rally was in the dry.

I have heard so many competitorsay how amazing the people arehere. The rally has been embracedby the majority of the locals and ireally shows. The Parc Expose cashows have been a big hit. Mediacoverage seems good, and Craigand Jim have been on CBC newsThe Baldhead Racing logo is a big

hit and many people want the cadecals and t-shirts we are wearingWe're nearly out of the shirts, awe give them to people that arereally helping us. The car lookgreat, and people really gush oveit's bright red appearance and Porsche-ness.

Steve Carrick travelled to Newfoundland with the RV and wasupposed to be officiating or something, but he ended up being codriver for John Cassidy and his Im

preza. John recently won at DefSte-Agathe. John's team is LasDitch Racing Team. He's a greatsuper laid back, guy. He's havingfun, but finds tarmac quite achange from the usual rally surfaces. But, he is pretty quick!

The rally cars are absolutelybloody amazing. Can't say enoughabout these cars. Not sure, but lasI heard Doug Mepham and JimKenzie (of Toronto Star and TSN'Motoring 2002) were out because

they couldn't replace a head gaskeon the Volvo 240 series classic rally car. Not sure how the ToyotaCelica GT (of Taisto Heinonenfame) is doing, but they are alwayworking on it. One of the local entries, a Civic is out, too.

A friend of a friend put Craig and up last night in a great basemenapartment (with Internet!). We goin around 3 AM from the garageGreat people, again!

Gotta go, see if I can help out athe MTC or maybe just clean theRV (a.k.a. GAS PIG)!

Many thanks to Rob Microys, btwwho lent Craig his trailer, which istored safely in the old Memoriaarena, under lock and key.
