8 The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, June 15, 1977 Section Two Car Racing Can Be Costly With one down and il races to go, Bill Waller is hoping for the best, as he shows trophies that Don Yourth, driver has already won in racing competition. Their Crosselle Type By Jack Marchen Tension mounts as Don Yourth of BowmanviMle revs up his formula four racing car, waiting, waiting, then- three Formula Ford cost them $10,000, and Waller is sure that it will emerge the winner of this year's CASC regional series. down goes the white flag as 16 cars swiftly scurry for lead positions in the first race of the Canadian Automobile Sports Club (CASC), regional series. Along with his partner and crew chief, Bill Waller of Bowmanville, Yourth picked up four points and was awarded a plaque in the first CASC race with a third place finish of 10 minutes and 50 seconds. He was just 15 seconds behind the winner, Howard Kelly of Toronto. The 12 lap race was held at Nelson International Raceway in Shannonville, Ont., 10 miles east of Belleville on Highway two. The CASC regional series is open to anyone in Ontario and consists of 12 races. Winners are based on the total amount of points scored after the last race. Each driver gets nine points for a first place finish, six for second and four for third. Yourth, an employee at General Motors in Oshawa, began racing formula V cars as a novice four years ago. After one year, he achieved professional status. Then in 1976 he teamed up with Waller and started racing Formula Ford cars, but 'it was short lived. During a professional race at Mosport Raceway the car slammed into the guard rail at 82 m.p.h. putting it out of the series for the rest of the season. Yourth suffered a sprained ankle as a result of the accident. This year, they purchased another Formula Ford car and almost lost it in the first race of the season, said Waller. The race was held at Mosport, sponsored by the American Formula Ford As- sociation with $10,000 total prize money. After completing eleven and a half laps, Yourth again went into the guard rail at 82 m.p.h. but this time only causing minor damages. Their car, A Crosselle Type 30 Formula Ford was made in Ireland and purchased for $10,000. It's powered by a 1600 cubic centimeter engine with a four speed Heel and Gear box (transmission). The car sits about three inches above the ground and can travel at speeds in excess of 120 m.p.h. Their next CASC regional race will be held at Mosport Park on June 11 and 12. "Racing is expensive", says Waller, "and we have been looking for someone to spon- sor us for some time now, without success. At Shannon- ville we paid $200 for tires, and all we got was a trophy. Altogether, it cost an addi- tional $10,000 to operate the car for a season. I guess it's just that love for racing that makes us keep going." Advertising.. helps you compare.

Committee Seeks Better Road Signs Bowmanville Councillor Bob Dykstra described road signs in the municipality as "mixed up like a hound dôg's breakfast," during a discus- sion at the town's public works committee meeting last week. Councillor Dykstra told the committee that there should be an investigation into the whole sign situation within the Town of Newcastle. He added that the three local chambers of commerce should be con- sulted for their views on road signs. Other members of the works committee agreed that there was some difficulty with local signs. Councillor Bruce Taylor noted that a sign pointing out Solina had been in place until someone cut down the tree that the sign had been nailed to. Newcastle Mayor Garnet Rickard said that the signs on Highway 401 and Number Two Highway are a little con- fusing. The mayor said that part of the confusion is caused by the words Town of Newcastle. He noted that signs at the boundary of Oshawa simply say Oshawa and signs at the Whitby boundary say Whitby. Mayor Rickard added that the 401 exit sign at Bowmanville Be a RED CROSS I volunteer does not point to Bowmanville but Waverley Road. The works committee voted last week to arrange a meeting with Ministry of Transportation and Commun- ications officials to discuss road signs. Committee members indi- cated that after this meeting the elected officials may meet with local chambers of com- merce to get their views on signs. The issue of road signs in the municipality was recently raised by Bowmanville Chamber of Commerce co- president, John Pogue. Mr. Pogue stated that out of eight exit signs on highway 401, only one pointed out Bowmanville. The other seven signs pbinted to Waverley Road or Liberty Street. COMEX8 Enroute with Warren Lowes Yesterday this Common- wealth Expedition to Asig terminated its tour at the ancient cathedral ruins at Glastonbury-the site where King Arthur is buried. Speed- ometer reading of most ve- hicles registered about 32,200 kilometres. The previous afternoon, seven coaches and a control van drove into the town of Wells where the Comex con- tingents were hosted at a reception by the Bishop of Bath and Wells and later attended ecuminical services to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth. Part of the ceremonies at Wells featured a recording session where members of the 1977 Comex chorus amalgam- ated with singers and per- formers from previous exped- itions, were filmed in action. Taped recordings for future release were also made. The assembled audience emerged from the cathedral to the strains of a uniformed Gurkha band with a presenta- tion of stirring Martial music. From this point long files of hikers formed up for a nine-mile walk along hed- gerows and across the downs to Glastonbury. The last chapter of Comex 8 has now been written and the one hundred or so Canadians who completed the prescribed route have scattered to the many parts of Britain to await the Charter airlift back to Canada on June 13th. There were casualties from sickness, heat and mishap- indeed, one bus with a small complement of essential personal still remains on the frontier of Iran awaiting parts that caused a mechanical failure. It took tight financial budgeting, hitch-hiking and much personal resourceful- ness to bring the expedition home on schedule. But there is not one returnee who will now deny that lasting friendships have been made across the barriers of race, color and religion and that the experi- ence of associatingwith a multi-national family for four months has broadened their vision. As a final gesture of goodwill t Canadian members who wanted to visit the rural areas of Britain, one coach (North Ireland) and a volunteer driver has been put at our disposal. A majority chose to see the picturesque rolling country- side of Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. Appropriately enough, this final report is being written at the city of Taunton in the Vale of Taunton Deane. Fifty miles or so down the highway is the storied Dartmoor country- remember, where the Hounds of the Baskvervilles howled to the moon. To some of the patrons at the Crown and Anchor pub I have explained that things are much quieter on Taunton Road in Durham County, Ontario.
