"Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Four local rugby players recently took part in the Provincial Rugby Championships in Ottawa.

Ontario Under-17 rugby team From Page 26 The Ontario team travelled to Ottawa by van and while there stayed at Carleton Uni. versity. Another aspect the boys all agreed on is that the coaches of the Ontario team were excel- ent. The four also play for the BTA NRL LO. 0. ol Oshawa Vikings rugby team- which is a club team. There are four levels in rugby which are: high school, club, provincial, and national. Al received an_ additional honor in Ottawa when he was chosen to be a member of the National team. The National team does not play any games, but is a team selected from the best players at the Provincial champion- ships. Next year, Lindsay will be the only one of the four who will be eligible to try out for next year's squad. Lindsay was the youngest player on this year's team.

The purpose of this silly exercise is to simply help you unwind from another hectic schedule of stock car racing at Mosport International Speed- way. It has been an exciting year, full of ups and downs, crunches and crashes, spin outs and flare ups and a whole lot of good hard racing at Mos- port, but now it's time to take a deep breath, relax and see just where all the pieces fell. In the Street Stock division, the season could only be described as a classic example of the tortoise and the hare fable. Sprinting out ahead of the pack and seemingly winning at will for the longest part of the year was the Re/Max Chevelle of Andy Warbutton. Un- fortunately for the Oshawa realtor, bad fortune and bad judgement reared its fickle head and in the final events it was Warbutton's season-long shad- ow, Bob Franks of Omemee, that quietly rumbled into the winners circle as the overall series champion. Rod Marshall, the defending street stock ti- tle holder, gave it a valiant effort but fell just 19 points short and the Lancer Electric Chevelle had to settle for second spot. The number 82 of Weston's Dwight Brown rounded out the top three with Warbutton eventually claiming fourth. Dave Lee of Nestleton received some much needed assis- tance from Blackstock Hardware, Nestleton Shell and Taylor Racing and showed his appreciation with a great late, season charge to jump into sixth place in the final standings. Utica's Mike Mole was in his first full season of racing and in spite of missing the first three races of the year managed to earn an impressive eighth place finish. Mike figures that the late start cost him a shot at the title but apparently the Highland Brand Farm,M & M Tire Grand Prix is already being prepared to do battle in a full schedule next year. Moving a little further back in the pack we find "Father Fred" Shepstone and his son "Little Al" in the Shepstone Haulage, Port Perry Auto Supply cars finishing securely in 12th and 22nd spots with the flying 747 of "Mad" Murray Hill from Ja-Net-Ville splitting the difference, nailing down 16th position overall. Rounding out the local talent is Rick Short of Blackstock who, in spite of running a very limited number of races, man- aged to hold onto 27th spot. In the final event of the year, Shorty's Cran- dell's Camaro centre-punched the back straight wall but after a quick trip to the hospital Rick was released with only severe bruising and he should be back to what he calls normal soon. It's a good thing that they make heads hard in Scugog Township. In the OSCAAR Late Model division, it was, for all intents and pur- poses, a two car battle for championship between Newmarket's Tom Milli- gan and defending series champ, Al Thomson from Uxbridge. As the sea- son progressed, the two friends, foes and long-time competitors duked it out between themselves, and although the racing behind them occasional- ly got messy and violent, the two men survived all challenges with the Kar- belt Speed and Custom Team of Milligan's claiming the victor's laurels, Pe- ter Brown from Willowdale was a distant third with Whitby racers Rob Robinson and Terry Robichaud rounding out the top five. Andy Salmers of Janetville in the Trent Chev Olds car laid claim to seventh overall, just 11 points in front of Uxbridge's Rick Sauder, who would up in the 9th spot. Dave Taylor in the Shepstone Haulage, Elmview Farm racer competed in very few events this season but was always a factor when he did run and he was able to nail down the 14th position at year's end. Trevor Jones of Port Perry ran all season without the benefit of a major sponsor and was rewarded with the 16th finishing spot. Local drivers Rod Sauder, Ian Jo- hansen and Walter Henderson all ran limited campaigns and finished well down in the order. Just as in any awards show, we saved the best for last, the Mosport Sportsman division, A total of 52 competitors earned points over the course of the season with the top three drivers being separated by only 22 points at year's end. And like other award shows we are going to work backwards to find out who that lucky number one driver is. Richard Wagner from Blackstock suffered all season long with no
