Trie Newcastle Village resident is headed to the west coast later this lght and his racing bike placed first in Shannonville, near Belleville, The Newcastle Villa going to Brampton another tournament. Good Luck to the team. week to compete in Vancouver and Calgary by Chris Clark Just over two weeks ago, 20,000 admiring admiring fans flocked to Shannonville, near Belleville, to watch the biggest single day of amateur motorcycle racing racing in Canada this year. Bikers in 11 separate categories sped around the course, vying for recognition and points toward the national championship. championship. At every corner each racer in a tight pack of daredevils leaned _ his bike down low enough to scrape his leather- wrapped knee on the pavement. Reaching speeds approaching 135 miles per hour, they zipped by the grandstands in a blur. At Shannonville this year, Newcastle's Newcastle's Darren Knight, aboard his sleek Suzuki, left everyone behind in the 750 production class, winning the third of six national circuit races and capturing points to lift him to fourth overall in the country. He also finished second in the 750 superbike category riding his production bike against many more sophisticated modified machines. machines. After a nasty spill in Quebec and a disappointing eleventh place showing in Nova Scotia, this circuit race was very gratifying. "It was my best race ever," he said. On Saturday, Darren and a racing friend left for the west coast to compete in races four and five in Calgary and Vancouver respectively. respectively. The sixth and final race again will be in Shannonville. The summer travelling consumes all of Darren's holidays at General Motors. Motors. "There are some long rides (in the truck, towing a trailer), but it's usually usually worth it. I've never been to the west coast and I'm really looking forward to it." Each race lasts between 10 and 15 minutes - a sprint. Although there is no prize money as such, there is some contingency money which given sponsors sponsors pay when a driver delivers using their product. Still, "you lose a lot of money," Darren admitted, smiling. However, "you can make up for that when you turn pro if you do well." The thought of turning professional has crossed Darren's mind more than once this year. According to amateur racing rules, if a driver wins a race or finishes in the top five overall after the six national races, he must turn pro. The rule keeps the amateur circuit circuit competitive. It also forces good drivers like Darren to make big decisions decisions at a relatively young age. "To go pro I would need, a lot of financial financial help. If I decide to, I will spend the winter looking for sponsors. This year Asselstine Country (a dealership in Blackstock) and Valvoline Oil are helping me out." Scott Vanson of Asselstine Asselstine has served as his personal mechanic, mechanic, tuning up his Suzuki before every race. The most expensive aspect of racing is the constant need for new tires. Darren burns through two sets every weekend. "If I could get someone to pay for tires and entry fees, it would be great," he explained. In the process of winning at Shannonville, Shannonville, Darren set a new fastest lap record. He covered the approximately two and a half miles in 58.59 seconds. He had never set such a record. Besides sitting fourth overall on the national circuit, he is second on the seven-race regional circuit which comprises comprises Ontario and Quebec. With one race to go in that series, he has a realistic realistic chance of capturing the regional title if, in the final face at Shannonville, Shannonville, he can place two positions ahead of Napean native Richard Nelson. "He is the man to beat," Darren said. "He's first regionally and nationally." Between the national and regional races, Darren spends about half of his weekends from April to September racing somewhere in the country. Only in his first full year of amateur racing, he is poised for national recognition after after this summer. Darren currently is on the road heading for the west coast. Depending on how ne and his bike perform perform on tracks which he has never seen, in cities which he has never visited, visited, he could come home for the finale at Shannonville chasing the national championship.
