about five years ajjo Canadian Mock car racing has into a prominent petition in fans An outgrowth of the wheeled sports in the United States stock racing appeared in Canada shortly after World War H Graduating from the hazy meet on rural pasture tracks sunk ear racing has now moved in many cases into the cities and towns on a strictly scheduled professional basis The fans guaranteed many of the thrills of bigtime racing have taken the battered chariots to their hearts and Stock car racing is good dean fun MobileOntario Sanctioned by the Canadian Stock Car Racing Chili the rules and la lions of the new jjj are strictly before covering the I Jos and lets take a look at the of the Mock car Kami- in Ontario Its estimated that nearly drivers in races every week in and around such towns and Hamilton Loudon Windsor Chatham and According to the capacity of the available parks as many as crowd in to watch their favourite drivers and an overall weekly attendance for car racing in the Province should hover around to fans Tor unknown reason at least per cent of the fans are women which should prove something or other about the gentler sex for as far as know racing drivers are almost unknown in the except possibly around rant ford Ontario StockRules Contrary to a general belief strict rules govern the racing cars you sec roaring around the tracks The Canadian Stock Car taring Club has issued a complete brochure governing safety with respect to the vehicles themselves For instance all cars must be an original hard top with no roadsters or convertibles allowed All cars must have fenders hut no sharp edges allowed Mead- lights must Ik removed and bumpers must not le interlocking Mufflers must be left on or cars sufficiently quiet to meet track approval Wind shields must left ami be of safety glass typo All other windows must be rolled down or removed All car doors must bo welded bolted or strapped shut Quick- release safety heft compulsory to frame at ends All drivers wear approved raring helmets mirrors tr Hubcaps must ho removed Racing In one on each side and one on rear The number no used this to include outside competitors For us that last admonition would be quite Most Job Although in ac tion the stock car average anywhere from around the tracks the low score on Sertoli accidents is a complimentary reflection on the governing body controlling the sport And likely the most dangerous job is that of official starter We questioned Starter Rosa Kennedy of the Stock Car Racing Club Toronto and found that the closest Kennedy had come to disaster was losing the scat of his pants Hut nevertheless the starter has to bo a nimble handling his flags and controlling the actual race Next time you attend the races check the masterful manipulation of Hags for start Orange caution do not pass serious accident Black dis qualification Crossed half way mark White one lap to go and Checkered winner To catch up on this stock car racing business you have your choice of the locations mentioned with no doubt many others on the way At the moment nearly half of the j operating tracks arc using arclights and specializing in night racing so you have your choice of daytime or evening attendance repeat stock car raring is good clean dangerous tutu How ever well still take that back seat high in the stands please Specially prepared by prominent Canadian Sports
