MOTORING WITH MIKE BURGESS EppieWietzesof Toronto, lastyear's Canad ian Champion racing driver ap- peared as the guest speaker at the Osh- a w a Motor Sport Club monthly meeting held last week at the Holiday Inn, Osh- awa. Dr i ving a McLaren, Eppie fini shed 4th over-al in the S.C. C.A. L. &M. Championship for Formula A cars. This q u i e t, mild-mannered man, covered a variety of topics ranging from past race experiences topresent track conditions. One subject'made a deeper impression in my mind moreso than any of the others; the construction of safety walls. I cannot dispute the necessity for protecting the spectators, but on the other hand, what chance does the driver entertainwho hi ts the brick wall in his fiberglass machine at s p e e d s over150m. p. h. ? It seems 1 ike an impasse. Martin Chenhail Another interesting and active racer isOshawanian Martin Chenhall. Martin, a m e m ber ofO. M. S. C. , breathes life into an A production Corvette. This 427 c. i. d. 450 h. p. machine powered to six wins and one second out of seven races atMosport in the past season. Included in the se w ins are the Indian Summer Trophy Ra c e , and two more at the S. C. C. Labour Day Races. Player's Road Race of Champions Just recently Martin travelled to Westwood, Lritish Columbia for the Players Road Race of Champions. Un- f o r t u n atel y, after turning in the fas- test time i n practice, extremely heavy r a i n on a strange track kept our local r e p r e s en tative from maintaining his w i n n i n g s t r e ak. Because of limited space, it is impossible to do justice to Martin's many achievements in this is- sue, but I am looking forward to prepar- ing a feature article at a later date.

Check those connections L a st w eek I mentioned 'plugs and points' as a g oo d s ta rt for your pre- winter tune-up. Assuming this has been done, the next step, often overlooked, but j u st as important, is the checking c I e an ing, and tightening of el ectr ical connections both at the battery and the starter motor. Col d weather will reduce theefficiencyof even a new battery, so it's important that the electrical power that isl1 ef t, is able to go where you want it!

'Welcome To Whitby' Signs Updated The Plan of Act- ion Committee of the Whitby Cham- b e r of Commerce has obtained quotes for the res- to r a t ion of wel- coming signs at the four entrances of town. Letters have been sent out to service clubs ask- ing their support to bring these signs up to date. The project is b e in g undertaken because the cham- ber feels these signs are in a very run down condition and they are prov- iding a poor image to v i s itors to the town.
