Greenbank had been sched- uled to play the Bowmanville Pagans Wednesday night in Bowmanville but before the game could begin the skies opened and a torrential down- pour washed out any possibility of a game. But the weather was good on Thursday night in Greenbank and the Gamblers ran their Oshawa City League record to 7-1 'behind the stalwart pitch- ing of Mark Goreski. Goreski is having a superb season on the Greenbank mound and his latest effort saw him limit Stouffville to a pair of hits while striking out 14 bat- ters. Brother Paul Goreski has been handling all the catching duties so far this season and the brother combination along with pitcher Jim Chilvers has given Greenbank a strong effort at the pitching and catching posit- ing. Last Thursday night at Greenbank Terry Till led off the game with a base on balls and ~ Mike Giroux followed with a double over the first base bag and Brian Till scored both run- ners with a double off the left center field fence. This accounted for all the scoring in the game as Mark Go- reski and Byron Baranieski set- tled into a real pitchers duel, Goreski giving up two hits and Baranieski only allowing four Gambler hits. The Greenbank win left them tied with Oshawa Jrs. for top spot in the league with each club having 14 points. Close on- "their heels is Oshawa O'Tooles with 13 points complete league standing to appear in next week's paper. This week sees the Gamblers at Port Perry Merchants on Tuesday night and the Oshawa Waltzing Weasels visiting Greenbank Park for an 8 p.m. game. On the weekend Greenbank will try and defend the Balti- more Major Tournament cham- pionship which they managed to win last year.

Formula Atlantic has long been considered to be the top train- ing ground for North American road racers and can boast of such talented graduates as Bobby Rahal, Gilles Villeneuve and Scott Goodyear. The newest crop of future champions is being led by the for- mer Canadian Formula 2000 champion, Claude Bourbonnais, from Ile Perrot, Quebec. Bourbonnais, in his Players Ltd. Ralt RT40 has led in each of the four events run to date and has crossed. the finish line first three times, although his season opening victory at Phoenix was subsequently taken away after a yellow flag violation penalty. The Frenchman missed most of last year's action due to money problems but is determined to make up for lost time this season. : Hard on Bourbonnais' tailpipe is his Players Ltd. teammate, Jacques Villeneuve, son of the late, great Gilles. With one victo- ry this season coming at Road Atlanta, Villeneuve will be trying to emulate the Formula Atlantic careers of his father and L'oncle Jacques, both of whom were series champions. The training and insights that he received competing in Japan last year can only be an asset to this young charger. Other Canadians that are making noise in the F-A ranks in- clude former Players/GM driver David Empringham who has garnered three third place finishes so far and Burlington's Ken- ny Wilden who took fifth spot in his first and only start. The Players Ltd./Toyota Formula Atlantic Championship will make its Canadian season debut at Mosport Park this weekend. Co-featured at the Players 200 event will be the SCCA Tide Trans-Am Tour. This series, which began way back in 1966, is a showcase for Detroit machinery and has Mississauga's Ron Fellows leading the Ford brigade against the Chevy forces of Scott Sharp and Jack Baldwin and the Chrysler attack of the Archer brothers. Fellows has pushed the MacKenzie Mustang to wins in the first two races of the year, heading now into Detroit and then on to Mosport. With three full seasons of Trans Am experience be- hind him and coming back to his home track, Fellows should have a solid head start towards the series title. Watch for little brother Rob Fellows, to make his first serious foray into the Trans-Am wars at Mosport this weekend as well. Both of these series will make a return Canadian engagement at Toronto's Molson Indy in July. A couple of quick notes to close. i The battle between the Michelin Enduroseries and the Cana- dian Endurance Road Racing Championship has turned nasty. u All of the drivers and teams in the CERRC have received no- tices that their ASN competition licenses are in jeopardy if they continue to run in this "outlaw" series. In fact, several (many, all??) of the racers that ran two weeks ago at Shannonville have been told that their Canadian Competition License is under pro- bation for the season. Should a driver lose his license, he would be unable to compete at any sanctioned event, such as the Grand Prix, the Molson Indy or any professional event staged at any track in Canada. The full story would take too long to fully explain, but it al- most seems that Canspan's David Berman and CERRC's Ray nailinto the coffin of Canadian road racing. On a personal note, it was in 1974 that I saw my first racest Mésport and that was the classic battle between Jackie Qliver and George Follmer in the team UOP Shadow Can-Am'cars. Follmer returned to Mosport last weekend for the Vintage Festj- - val to be a guest driver. Like many other.fans, I was#nxious finally meet this great competitor but my initial reaétion, I have to admit, was one of disappointment. So i No longer larger than life, the 58-year-old walked with more | of a shuffle than a stride, he was forced to lean close to you te hear any conversation, his hearing too long abused by mon- strous racing engines, and his voice, straining to be hear or too many years was hoarse and muffled. EERE When the call went out for George to mount up, it was a slow, |. almost painful procedure as he settled behind the wheel of the borrowed McLaren M 12 Can-Am car and as he headed onto the track, the car itself seemed to take on its commander's pergon- na. py Watching from the media tower, I saw the great lea ass by twice rather slowly and ponderously, but mere moments ater I could hear the unmistakable roar and rumble of a large block Chevy engine at full song. Looking trackside, yes, here came George, throwing the big car around corner 10 as if it were a go-cart, stomping on the throttle and disappearing over the hill into turn one. : That is truly the magic of vintage racing, as suddenly driver and fan alike are thrust, willingly, into the past. The glory, the spirit and the fun are remembered and the smiles return. May the magic continue. Shannonville Motorsports Park will host their Vintage Rac- ing Weekend on July 3and 4.
