On Sunday afternoon in the Canadian (FI600) Formula Ford Championship at the Molson Indy, Oakville's Matt White experience one of the worst ways. White, who had led the way for most of the 20-minute support race, did not lose by a fraction of a second at the finish line; nor did he lose because of engine trouble or running out of gas; not even a last minute pile-up cost him the race. Nope, a decision (an erroneous one, according to White's camp) by an unnamed, faceless official cost him the race. In the waning moment's of the Exhibition Place race, White was black flagged for allegedly jump ing a restart in the final moments of the race. The ruling ended what had been a remarkable race for the Oakville driver. "He was robbed," said his father David. "He didn't pass any body." White had begun the race on a high note capturing the poll posi tion with a qualifying time of Photo by Barrie Erskine Oakville's Matt White drives his Youngdrivers.com Van Deiman around a curve in the Canadian Formula Ford Championship race. 1:20.57.

Car trouble cuts Buck's race short Car trouble prevented Oakville's Robin Buck from defending his Molson Indy CASCAR (Canadian Association for Stock Car Racing) title at Exhibition Place in Toronto on Saturday. Saddled with car problems, Buck spent much of the race on the sidelines as his pit crew tried to fix his car. The Oakville driver finished 26th after completing only 16 laps of the 30-lap race. Buck, who is sponsored by UAP/NAPA, entered the race in a brand new car -- a Pontiac Grand Prix 2000. Kevin Dowler, of Edmonton, won the race and became the first western CASCAR driver to win an eastern Super Series event. The 41-car race was marred by an eight-car pileup on the first turn which resulted in a 20 minute delay that forced race officials to add 10 minutes extra running time to the event to make v o tir d a ?!
