"A Family Tradition for 128 Years" PORT PERRY STAR - Tuesday, June 21,1994 - 21 x SPORTS Peewee ModJack's bats quiet in weekend games The Peewee ModJacks had a quiet week in the York Durham League this past week. On Sat- urday they travelled to Bramal- ea for an early morning double header. Chris Jones took to the mound for the first game. In four innings pitched he gave up five hits, four walks and struck out three. Defense was not as solid as it has been in the past and a couple of errors plus time- ly hits allowed the opposition to score eight runs. Port's bats were quiet in this game as we could only pick up four hits. Ryan McQuade scored the first run of the game after reaching on a walk and scoring on a throwing error to second base. Scott Jeffrey picked up the only hit of the first inning and scored Jeff Ashton who had also reached base on a walk. Other singles went to Mike " Versage, Jeff and Scott picked up his second single of the game in the fifth. Defensive highlight of the game was a play at first base. On a hit to right field Der- ek Tindall threw the ball in to Jon Froats who in turn threw to Clayton at first to tag the run- ner on his way back to first. Fi- nal score 8-3 for Bramalea. In the second game the bats were even quieter as Ryan McQuade and Jon Froats were the only two batters to pick up safe hits. Jon pitched the entire game and allowed seven hits while giving up three walks and striking out six. This was a good defensive game as the score was 1-0 going into the fifth inning for Bramal- ea. Bramalea picked up two runs in each of the sixth and seventh to leave the game at 5- 0. Ryan Moynes had a strong game at third including a nice tag on a throw from catcher Brad Monsma on an attempted steal. The boys have a home game Tuesday night against Vandorf at 6:30 p.m. and then we are off to Stratford for the weekend for our third tournament of the sea- son. This tournament has 16 teams in it and we could come up against St. Marys whom we played last year in the O.A.S.A. championships. There should be some good ball games at this one. r p can finally afford it!" vintage racer. ofthe driver. ages. ed. in third spot. greatit felt!" beamed Grant. We all enjoy our little Walter-ish fantasies, but very few of us ever get to see these dreams realized. Occasionally though, some bold souls screw up their courage, take a chance and at- tempt to turn their wishes into reality. Columbus area farmer Grant Beath, a self-confessed racing fanatic recently took the first big step and decided that he want- ed to fulfill a dream and go racing. "I'm now at the age when I know that if I don't do it soon, it won't get done," reasoned the 40 somethin g former helicopter pi- lot." And it's not any kind of mid-life crisis, it's just that now I So with the enthusiastic support of his sons Scott and Came- ron and the tolerance of his wife, Eleanor, Grant finally tracked down and purchased his dream machine, a Lola T-163 Can-Am "I've always loved the original two seater Can-Am cars and I really like the idea behind vintage racing. In this series, there is not what you would call intense competition. You can just goout and have some fun and enjoy your passion at your leisure." Not that the Lola was meant to be run leisurely. The Chevrolet V-8 engine puts out over 600 horsepower and is capable of pushing the car to over 170 miles per hour, although, as Grant states, the speed is directly proportional to the courage This particular car was imported from England by an Ameri- can rancher who campaigned it in the original Can-Am series for two years. It was then sold to an amateur racer who only drove it in SCCA regional events and from there was passed on to a bar owner. This person unbelievably made this purebred racing machine into a street legal mobile billboard, complete with rudimentary bumpers, turn signals and a plywood bench seat! It's next owner, an Indiana physician rescued the car and restored it to racing specifications. The good doctor ran the car rather successfully in the American Vintage Series but his fu- ture new wife took a dim view of this pastime and so last au- tumn the Lola came north of the border and into the Beath gar- Grant spent the winter with his new exotic possession repair- ing, refitting and reworking it into a pristine machine and at Mosport's vintage festival the freshly painted Lola was present- A balky transmission caused some minor problems at the track but the veteran car and her novice commander enjoyed a successful debut. Grant's lap times improved as his confidence grew and in the Sunday feature race he was able to cross the line "I was much more than satisfied, I really can't describe how It must have been fun, he hasn't stopped smiling yet. If you would like to see more of these racers from yesteryear, they will be making their yearly visit to Shannonville Motor- gports Park on the first weekend in July. See you there, From Corner Five.
