And for those who don't know it is hield annually at Mosport Park. Libattis initial involvement in motor racing began ini 1964 when the company sponsored the first international race at Le Circuit Mont Tremblant in Quebec, the Labatt's 50, won by the late Pedro Rodriguez. The Quebec division of the company continued its involvemnent the next year, tîten, in 1966, spon- sored the first Can-Am race ever held. Labatt's became associated with Can-Amn racing ini Ontario ini 1969, sponsoring the Mosport event in, North America's richest road racing series. lI 1972, Labatt's also assumed the sponsorship of Canada's only Grand Prix race. At the samne time, Mosport Park, announced an agreement witl the Canadian Automobile Sports Clubs, the governing body of auto racing ini Canada, to hold the race at the Mosport circuit for at least the next six years. A $15,000 first prize will be the most ever of- fered the wimîer of the Can-Amn in June. The new Can-Amn purse schedule was devised by the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA), which chose to eliminate qualifying prizes in favor of basing the rnoney on finishing positions ini each race. In 1972, the $75,000 total purse was divided with $65,000 going to the top 25 finishers in the race and $10,000 distributed among the five fastest qualifiers. Last year's race winner, Denis Hulme of New Zealand, pocketed $13,000 for first place. This year's winner gets $15,000 plus contingency awards (rnoney paid by manufacturers to drivers who finish well using their products) whichi is expected to sweil tîhe winner's purse by several thousand dollars. Second place picks Up SI I1,000, third $8,000, fourth $6,000 and on down to l4th place which pays $1,200.
