He competed at Westgate Speedway for three years and previously raced go carts for ve years. Racing at Mosport is a differ- ent experience from Westgate in Peterborough. The track, located in the mu- nicipality of Newcastle, was re- surfaced this year and is a half mile in length, unlike West- gate's quarter mile track. One of his recent feature wins came on a night when Da- ryl almost didn't show up. He had gone camping for the August long weekend expecting that the Saturday night races at Mosport would be cancelled because a rock festival planned at the race track.

"In the states you can race 12 months of the year and that's Wiigre the sponsors are too," he said. Finding sponsors to help cov- er the increasing costs of the sport is hard in Canada where the racing season is so short. This year he is sponsored by Port Perry Auto Wreckers, Brideport Signs, Overgoor Brothers Carpentry and Eric's Custom Autobody.
