GRAND PRIX 0F CANADA, SEPT. 20, 21, 22 at Mosport The North American Grands Prix could be jointly referred to as the backstretch of the World Driving Championship and this season in particular they will live up to this advance billing because the. Championship cannot-be decided in Europe. Half a dozen drivers are still in contention for the Grand Prix Championship wbich could' be decided during the running of the Labatt's 50 Grand Prix of Canada to be held at Mosport Park, September 20, 21, and 22. There are three races remainîng on the circuit, the Italian Grand Prix, Sept. 8th, the Canadian Grand Prix and the U.S. Grand Prix, October 6th. but the point spread is so close the winnler will not be decided until the final two races taking place in North America. Neyer before bas the Grand Prix chlampionship lef t for it's North American tour with the final Outcome so rmuch in doubt. Prior to the Italian Grand Prix, the Ferrari teamn figured prominently in thetitie race holding botb first and fourth place. With 46 points, Clay Regazzoni of. Switzerland is the leader while teamate Niki Lauda is 10 Points back. Ferrari bas to go back to 1964, when John Surtees captured the World Driving Campionship, to recaîl as successful a season as this year. A large gap was left in the Tyrrell team tbis seas on witb the ietirement of World Champion Jackie Stewart, but bis replacement Jody Scbeckter is filling the position capably, holding down second place at present with a total of 41 points. Third place and 37 points belong to Emerson Fittipaldi who is driving a McLaren-Ford. Also still in contention are Carlos Reutemnann and Ronnie Peterson wbo have 24 and 22 points respectively. The records and reputations, of the' teams and drivers involved in tbis rare scramble for tbe World Driving Championsbip, guarantees that tbe race at Mosport will bave an air of suspense whicb no otber Canadian Grand Prix bas been able to generate. Perbaps the only way to pick a favorite in this dasb for tbe mostpresîtgious cbamnpionship in motor racing, is to base predictiops on consistency. In that case tbe favourites would be Regazzoni, havl'ng failed to pick up'points in only two races and Scbeckte&, missing out in four of the twelve races run this season. CAN-AM RACING COMES TO BITTER END Last week it was decided to cancel the last event of the Can-Amn racing series due to the lack of new cars and incomplete fields. t is understood that Mosport will flot run a Can-Am in 1975 but will run the Formula 5000 on its traditional mîd-June date. Can-Am racing opened in Mosport thgis year. Can-Am racing could possible return in 1976 when there could be enough new cars to entire a full field. :RICARD~ * REALTOR 99 King St. E * BOWMANVILLk *Whea Bu> ing or Sellinge :WILF HAWVKE: 0 Your Orono Aiea 0 * Representative S 0, 983-5274 0 * Member of Oshawa and. 0 District Real Estate 0 Boarde i ORONO u HOCKEY' u REGISTRATION m Friday, Sept. l3th ORONO FIRE HALL Proof of age required * Registration $12.0I * La te Registration $3.00 extra, Anyone interested in coaching also re gister or cail 983-5858 mmmmmmmmmffmmmmm mmml BROWNIE REGISTRATION, IN AUDITORIUM 0F ORONO PUBLIC SCHOOL SEPT. l8th f rom 6:30Oto 8: 00 WilliamC.
