A reader's survey in formula magazine several years ago re- vealed that the average Canadian racing fan has a professional Ofupation, is reasonably affluent and is generally well educat- ed. So how come...most people have the mental picture of these same fans as characters directly out of the Deliverance screen- play who practice human sacrifice and believe that Jack Daniels and Molsons are two of the four basic food groups? The time has come to%tand up and defend our passion and prove to the uninformed that we are more than banjo pickin' mountain folk. Education is the answer here, so with the biggest event of the racing calendar coming up this weekend, here is your first history lesson in Molson Indy 101. A race through the streets of Toronto was actually the brain- child of the late John F. Bassett Jr. way back in 1968. The origi- nal plan called for a 3.7 kilometer circuit to run through the Ex- hibition grounds with the pits and Start/Finish line inside Exhibition Stadium. Unfortunately, the Lake Shore Raceway group ran headlong into an irate association of local ratepayers and the threat of a court injunction successfully snuffed out Johnny Bassett's ambitious plans. Mosport Park resurrected the idea of a Toronto street race in 1975 with hopes of bringing the Canadian Grand Prix down- town. The Formula 1 circus had outgrown the Mosport facility and the notion of staging a race with a built-in audience seemed like an attractive proposition. However, once again the local rat- epayers outroared the race fans at City Hall and the Grand Prix folded their tents and moved on to a thankful Montreal. ~ Nine years later, in the summer of 1984, Molson Breweries sponsored an Indy car race at Sanair Speedway in Quebec. Buoyed by the success of this venture, plans for staging aracein Toronto were started anew. : Learning from previous mistakes, Molsons first received ap- proval from all levels of government and then went to the peo- ple, listened to their concerns and addressed the problems. On Nov. 26, 1985 it was announced that Toronto would finally get its long awaited major league auto race. Molson Indy 1 roared through Exhibition Place on July 20, 1986. Now entering its eighth year, the Molson Indy is a summer staple in Toronto. It took a long time to get here, but it was well worth the wait. : The Molson Indy has grown to be much more than simply a car race. The event is now part of a week long festival, Molson Indy- Fest, that has raised over $600,000 for local children's charities. Events in the festival include the Mackenzie Challenge, a 3K run around the circuit, two parties celebrating motorsport, one held at Nathan Phillips Square, the other at Mel Lastman Square, the Mini Molson Indy which is a celebrity soap-box der- by and the social highlight, the Black and White Gala Dinner. (Maybe next year they can host a Bikini Pageant)! \. Here are a few quick facts about this year's Indy. The track is 2.87 kilometers long and has 11 turns, (six right, five left). The race will be 103 laps or 295.61 kilometers in length and will have a total purse of One Million Dollars (U.S.). The fastest of the Indy cars will reach a top speed of 312 kph or about 195 mph. The track is surrounded by 2,000 steel reinforced concrete barriers, each 12 feet long, 30 inches high and weighing about 7,000 pounds each. There is 10,000 feet of 10 foot high debris fencing and 19,000 feet of six foot high spectator fencing. The winner of the first Molson Indy was Bobby Rahal. Mi- chael Andretti has won here three times, (1989, 91, 92), Al Un- ser Jr. has two victories, (1988 and 90) and Emerson Fittipaldi took the 1987 checkered flag. When you come to the Indy you can cheer for a least three Ca- nadians. Paul Tracy from West Hill is having a terrific year with the Penske team while Newmarket's Scott Goodyear has had some problems in the Mackenzie Lola. Ross Bentley hails from British Columbia and has enjoyed some relative success run- ning on a shoe string budget. Supporting events for the Indy include the Player's Ltd./ Toyota Atlantic Series, The Tide Trans-Am Championship and the Indy Lights series. That, in an expanded nut shell is a brief course on the Molson Indy. Now, if someone comes up to you at the track and asks you a basic question, you will have no fear of looking like a demented fool as you quickly dazzle your interrogator with your now obvi- ous brilliance. And if that doesn't work, well you know what they say about baffling them. in their losing battle, with Ali- See you at the Indy, From Corner Five..... y sha Timmers playing a solid second halfin net.
