Georgetown Acton Wednesday March LeFeuvre among off roads best Bill and Joel Croft of LC Racing are looking to for their best off road racing Mason ever And that going to be a tall order Individually and Croft have dominated their respective classes and series over the past few years to of Ontario drives Class I buggy that a a racing buggy with an unlimited The Goodrich Score Canada Class One Cbmpkn uses a highly modified Volkswagen engine that produces ISO In the other major series contested the OffRoad Series be finished second in his class which a one below where he finished in I960 and Croft of Ontario narrowly missed repeating as the overall champion in the BFG Score Canada Series but did win Class One Two IGOOcc Unmodified Volkswagenenglned buggy rather easily In the Molson Series Croft was Class Cham as he in 1980 when he also won the overall title For and Croft have formed Racing and are out for all the gold will drive his reworked 1902 Mantis car and shoot for Class One titles In both the Score Canada and Series Croft will again drive his 1962 CSC buggy with Ihe hope of dominating his class in both series The team dream is to finish first and second overall in both Champlon- Wc decided to form LC Racing because we ore always at the same races together we get along and we can help each other said LeFeuvre Since our cars run classes there is no conflict said Croft Reflecting on past seasons each driver can vividly recall a memorable moment For the amiable LeFeuvre who is known for loaning parts or helping repair a com petitors car without being asked being voted by his fellow drivers as the Most Sportsmanlike Driver in bath Series stands out as an overwhelming experience The more outgoing Croft has a racing experience to occupy his mind during the off-season- Since 1977 he bad been com peting in the Memorial Day 100 in Lake Geneva Wis For four years Croft did not finish the race then in he finished fifth and was the only Canadian to tame the course t had bea ten him so many years in a row The same year Croft won the overall Score Canada Championship Last years BFG Cup race in the Montreal Olympic Stadium was fantastic said Croft 55000 race fans Success is a common word in both racers vocabulary but what do they do for an encore In Eastern Canada off road racing is growing very fast said LeFeuvre and as the sport grows there will always be new challenges Eventually LC Racing would like to move up to the heavy medal trucks and run the famous Baja 1000 and other est coast races enthused Croft But Baja is still at least one year down the road and there is a lot of racing to be done before L C Racing can test them Until then every time Croft or LeFeuvre starts a race they will go all out as if the LC in their team name stood for Last Chance LC Racing team preparing for 1983 C Racing is meticulously preparing for its most ambitious off road racing season ever With two topnotch drivers two superb racing buggies and 20 race weekends ahead they will compete for two series champion ships four class titles and numerous non- series events Bill LeFeuvre has rebuilt his horse power Volkswagen engine redesigned the front suspension and fitted BFG Mud- Terrain T A Radial tires for his champion ship assault Teammate Joel Croft is rebuilding his faithful Volkswagen motor checking every component carefully including his BFG AllTerrain tires Off reading has to be the toughest form of racing on equipment said Croft every nut bolt shock absorber and component takes a severe beating Nothing can be left to chance during prerace preparation including tires finished every race last year and that is a real credit to my crew Mantis car was new in 1982 and uncharacteristically failed to finish some races The newly designed front suspension is lighter has a greater travel and Is inherently stronger Suspension travel has also been increased on the rear I wanted more travel to make It easier for the tires to stay on the ground and do their intended job said LeFeuvre My more powerful car allows for faster speeds and more spectacular jumps continued but in order to go really fast the tires have to be kept on the ground for maximum traction and control The new suspension working in conjunction with the BFG tires I use should make for a very competitive season The 1963 season began for C Racing on March 12 in Orlando Florida when LeFeuvre ran the first event of the ScoreBF Goodrich OffRoad Points Series Both cars will run together May 1415 at St Quebec for the second race of the Series mss3iXbmmEfS Netting
