P2RT{ PERRY SECTION ) Volume 106 -- Port Perry, Ontario, Wednesday, April 19, 1972 -- No. 26 Auto students will compete in "Trouble Shooting" event Two grade 12 auto mec- hanic students from Port Perry High School will be out to demonstrate thejr skills as they compete in the 1972 Chrysler Trouble Shooting Contest to be held April 21 near the Queen Elizabeth Building at Toronto's CNE Park. Bill Peeters and John Nottenboom will represent Port Perry High School this Looking for the 'bugs' are Port Perry High School auto mechanic students John Nottenboom (left) and Bill Peeters. Boys are preparing for Chrysler "Trouble Shooting" Contest to be held April 21 at Toronto's Exhibition Park. In the contest, students from Ontario high year, oud will be compaling against students from 35 high schools in Ontario. Winners of this competi- tion will advance to the national*finals to be held in Montreal in June with first prize being a $2,500 scholar- ship. In all, there are more than $40,000 in scholarships, prizes, trophies and tools to be awarded to winning teams. schools will be attempting to find malfunctions purposely placed in cars, and make necessary changes to get car running right. The competition consists of a 100 question multiple choice written exam, and the practical contest, whereby students are given a certain length of time to find the malfunctions in an auto- mobile and then get it running right. Mr. Stan Lefort, an in- structor at Port Perry High School who will accompany the students to Toronto, says each team works on a brand new car that has purposely had malfuntions placed in it, and these are similar for each team. They are usually in the ignition system, timing, distributor, contact points or electrical acces- sories. A team has an hour and a half to find the bugs, and then get the car running the way it should run. The car is then inspected by a set of judges and any mal- function that has not been corrected means disqual- ification for the team. The team scoring best in the writen and mechanical tests is the winner. In preparation for the contest, Bill and John have been practising after school on a 1972 Dodge on loan for this purpose from Duggan Motors in Lindsay who are sponsoring the Port Perry team. Last year's team from Port Perry scored the high- est marks in the written contest, and except for one small error in the technical poftion would probably have won the overall contest, says Mr. Lefort. This year's wrillen examinations will get under way at 10:00 a.m. on April 21, and the "Trouble Shooting" will start at 12:30 p.m.
