scarborough man wins tola points al kart tourney stan crust of scarborough was awarded the total points trophy for his efforts in sun days international tournament of karts held at goodwood kartways crust tabulated 1200 points entered in the sports mans class more than 100 individual competitors from as far away as new jersey entered the fifth annual tournament ten classes with each class three heats in duration were offered the challengers other winners included hugh funston toronto hugh ger man toronto bob morrow mount forest greg morrow mount forest charles bowles toronto jim ciceri toronto ken thomas toronto linda edmison mount forest gerry bontius port credit and mike yarlett toronto john leslie of scarborough won a trophy after he was chosen the best sportsman of the day nearly 2000 spectators from all over ontario attended the event out six batters the pacoej tact whole family is involved in the sport mrs duflin jims mother is the head scorekeeper while his girl friend klenor is a lap scorer a gokart is nothing more than a bunch of solid pipes wplded together a small engine in mollified cases nvo engines a seat and four wheels equipped with small racing tires with all that put together and a driver added you have one mighty fat little vehicle the karts are built below the centre of gravity meaning the frame is lower than the wheel centre ami this enables drivers to sake corners at ridiculous speeds the karts are sectioned into different classes depending on what work the driver has done on il a racing class is determined on the cubic inch displacement of the engine whether thp engine is stock or modified the drivers age and his weight in sundays tournament some ten classes were required in cluding junior a modified light and heavy a stock light and heavy c open sportsman and a number ot iv classes rich class runs three heats with each heat consisting of six to eight laps besides being the fifth annual tournament of karts this afternoon outing was something else a new experience for this writer sure ive seen gokatls before and ive seen them race periodically but lo put sixty or seventy of them on a course then have lo cover it for the newspaper well that was new i found that upon arrival under all the grease and the dirt behind ihe screwdrivers and wrenches and bent over the air pumps and gas tanks was the most hospitable air ive ever en countered at a puhlic show bill bell actually took me to a good parking spot then in troduced me to thp club itself his mother jean wasted no time in getting me passed into the pits and the president of the cluh walter ilyshka couldnt do enough to get me acquainted with all ihe facets of gokarting people came out of nowhere to introduce themselves jim duffin confirmed everything i had witnessed ive seen some members strip down their engine lo get part for another member who was in trouble no one is walking around pulling spark plugs or releasing gas covers theyre taking their equipment to other karts and giving someone else a break 1 was impressed everybody scores there are no losers in gokarting with thp exclusive use of ihe molocross scoring system ii works like this 1st 400 pts 2nd 300 3rd 225 4th 169 5th 127 6th 95 7th 71 8th 53 9th 40 10th 30 nth 22 12th 17 13th 13 14th 9 15th to 2fllh 1 so even if you place dead last you still manage a point you even get a point it you start and dont finish just like at the indianapolis 500 a number of meaningful flags are used and each colour has its own significance a yellow flag indicates caution hold ihe position and slow down green means the race is on and the track is clear the dangerous red tells the driver to pull off to the side and stop immediately a white flag shows one lap remaining while the famous checker flag denotes the end of the race less used flags are black dis qualification to eithpr a break of rule or dangerous condition with vehicle blue motionless a faster kart is approaching be prepared to be passed and blue waving a faster kart is trying to lap you move over and let him by starting the race the karts form a double line down th straightaway at a moderate speed while the flagman holds a precarious position in the centre of the track theyre nl the post the flagman makes the final decision whether the race is legal or whether a false slart is in order with flag in hand and conditions go he does a mighty almost balletlike jump into the air and the karts are off at a deadly pare not to mention ths deafening roar from their unmuflled engines its a race of skill guts courage and nerve if you lack any one of these youre beat before you start it sounds like thp brave mans gamp but here as in many sports the women are in there lighting too lynda edmison who is only eighteen and weighs in on the two digit side of one hundred pounds showed sunday that women are capable of driving gokarts and driving them to victory entered with 10 other karts in the first heat all men lynda sat pat in third spot for four laps in the fifth she made her move captured second and went for the lead she pulled in front of the pack in the last lap to win the heat in the second heat of the a modified light and heavy class lynda was content to coma up from fourth and sit in third slot for the remaining five laps in the final heal however she jumped into the ipad in ihe initial lap and lipid it to win ihe title with 1025 points she and a mar ried woman were the only two ladies entered we discovered some interesting facts from some pretty inter esting drivers jim ciceri a resident of don mills might well he remembered from his mosport stints jim saw a kart in whitby and saw the possibilities in it finding the cheapest buy he could jim purchased his first gokart for 7500 today after a number of modifications he still uses hie same vehicle the secret ot success says jim is to keep equipment in lop shape at all times the president was a dragster president wally hyshka a 30 year old srarboro resident started his karfing experience at a drag strip intermission he was so thrilled by this new motor sport that he gave up drag racing at which he was quite competitive and started racing at goodwood in 1961 in 61 he started racing in b class with twin mc8s mounted on a dart kart he obtained a position on the executive of the goodwood kart club and now has become a very seriousminded president without whom the club would probably not function as systematically only 15 years old dave voyce of port credit has bepn raping for six years and is definitely an accomplished driver he drives an 800 powered by a mc7 engine dave has raced at gorwood goodwood mansfield ohio mosport and montreal this kids been around dave loves the speed and the highly competitive nature of racing castrol oil sponsored most of the tournament donated a number of prizes and gave each driver a free quart of oil just for entering for the special occasion such as this entry fee was 5600 but on regular meets it is only 300 the track ilseir the half mile course comes complete with 1500 feet of straightaway and sixteen turns some of them worse than hair pins it is made of smooth fine grain asphalt every single feature of the course is designed for the safety of competitors and spectators there are red yellow and green lights located at most of the corners and flagmen are situated over ihe grounds only one minor accident resulted from ihe entire sunday gathering and ihe driver calmly walked away his kart went out of control on a corner flipped onto the grass and landed sideways the drivers all wear crash helmets most wiih fullface gog gles leather jackets and seat belts chances of getting hurt ar very slim however just in case st johns ambulance is on the scene to them it was a quiet sunday to us it was an experience that well not forgpl for some time and should the nerve ever approach we might even try the sport ourselves its fun driving but really its just as much fun watching quieter too minor hockey meeting on thursday night the sfouftville minor hockey association will hold a meeting on thursday even ing tonight in the munici pal building at 731 pm plans for the
