No sport has made a faster climb in popularity than the noisy car races that annually draw more fans in North America than any sport except horse racing, And no sport has been shunned more by the press in this country, ridiculed on radio and television and lambasted as a sport that '"maims and kills." Many papers in Western Canada, -as late as 1965, rele- gated anything on car racing to the news pages. The sports edi- tors figured car events were not 'sport. Yet these same edi- tors regularly filldd their pages with such "sports' as the weekly wrestling card at the arena and 29 cribpage Li hands, TRIE TA WE UTNE Ti Adil. Je In 1961, sports car racing arrived in a big way.in Canada with the opening of the Mos- port track, 60 miles northwest of Toronto. A crowd of 40,- 000 paid to see England's Stirling Moss win the Player's 200. The size of the turnout made Ontario newspapers sit up and take notice. Two years lat- er, an even bigger throng -- in excess of 58,000 -- turned up for the third annual Player's 200 and 500 members of the press applied for credentials. ; Subsequent track construc: tions in Quebec at Mont Trem- hlant and in Alberta at Edmon- ton, guaranteed continued growth in interest across the country. Despite the success at the gate, the sport has continually had to fight a bad press. Since sports car racing is "riding the edge between victory and dis- aster," accidents do happen. And when a car is traveling in excess of 150 .miles per hour, accidents can mean fatalities. Such great drivers as Jimmy Clark and Bruce McLaren were killed, yet both were consid- ered 'safe' drivers. In car rac- ing, "safe" can only mean a driver who has the ability, plus the good sense, to avoid need- less risks. If something me- chanical fails at high speed, the best driver in the world can't avoid an accident. Recently, we heard an open- line radio program. The host --admitted atthe start that he was not a sports car fan, then proceeded to be an expert for his listeners. He repeated the old chestnut that the only rea. son people go to sports car races is to see someone killed. Several people who phoned in agreed with him on this claim, and many more deplored the glorification of speed. Certainly in this age of rock---- ets and trips to the moon, 180 mph on a race circuit is hardly fast. - The Indianapolis 500 would take a rocket less than two minutes to finish, As for the "thrill" element; re we doubt if anyone could claim that 300,000 go to Indianapo- lis to see death -- or that 50,000. go to Mosport in the hope of seeing an accident. In fact, when Dave Mac. Donald and Eddie Sachs were killed in that fiery crash sever- al years ago at Indy, the crowd was silent the rest of the race. We agree that the danger of accidents can- help bring out the crowd for sports car rac- Ing. It is the danger that the average motorist can appre- ciate; to see a car travel through tight quarters at high speed takes skill. Retired motor racing great Stirling Moss once explained: "If there wasn't a chance I would be 'killed, I wouldn't race. If 1 knew it was safe regardless what I did, there would he no challenge. I might- as well try marbles." ~Moss was quick to point out that he didn't have a death- wish, but rather that the chal: lenge was heating death by knowing when you have reached the highest possible speed for a particular stretch of the road. : The accidents happen when some unknown factor such as mechanical failure, oil on the track, or a driver's error takes place. Then, great skill js need- ed to prevent a fatal accident, Car racing, in my hook, is the most thrilling sport in the world for about 15 minutes -- 10 minutes before a race, the start and the first five min utes. After that, my interest _ starts to wane. -" But those 15 minutes are more than worth the price of "admission. No thrill in the world matches' the start of the Indianapolis 500, sitting in the stands on the first turn and seeing 33 cars flying down the straight at 200 miles per hour, = | MANAGEMENT LTD. } -
