watch the cleveland grand prix they shared a special interest in the proceedings after all two of the leading contenders in the race began their careers just 40 yards from where the pettis were sitting the pettis own and run goodwood kartways a gokart track which snakes and weaves its way over an acre of land outside the pettis front door it doesnt look like the nurturing grounds for worldclass auto racers tucked neatly but inconspicuously in a corner where two country roads intersect several kilometres northeast of stouffville but goodwood kartways was the early proving grounds for such track notables as scott goodyear and the whiz kid paul tracy both of these bigmoney winners started burning rubber at goodwood while only nine years old scott in 1970 and paul in 1977 the gokart track was originally built and operated by gene bell in 1957 he retired at the age of 97 and sold the operation to mario petti an oshawa garage owner and gokart enthusiast in 1975 basement

a cool head the gokarts can move at speeds up to 160 kilometres an hour its almost impossible to tip them mario sr points out when questioned about the safety of the sport the gokarts body is only an inch off the asphalt and theyre wide nobodys been seriously injured here maybe some scrapes and bruises from time to time but nothing serious he reiterates one fellow did break his leg once but thats the worst injury we ever had here kids start as early as eight years old at goodwood there are three categories of drivers first theres the rookies and youre considered a rookie at any age until youve proven yourself in competitions which are held every second sunday only after winning several races do you move up to junior ranking the final stage is senior and you have to be good to make it scott goodyear who as a boy worked after school in his fathers motorcycle and snowmobile shop on yonge st heard lots of heady conversation about auto racing he found his way to goodwood in 1969 with his fathers backing he spent as much time on the track as he could until he went to racing school at mosport in 1978 paul tracy too fell in love with goodwood he and mario jr became fast friends during pauls years at the gokart track paul sometimes even slept overnight here mario sr recalls with a smile its easy to see that the older mario is proud of the achievements of these two drivers who have joined the worlds racing elite theyre both good drivers but different paul is aggressive if he has a twolap lead he wants to make it four its always push for more finding it hard to put scotts driving into words he finally said scott is maybe more patient he moves around the track and passes other cars nice smooth and if auto races are never certain one thing is the pettis will be sitting before
