After setting a new track record in qualifying, the Frenchman in the Players Racing Ralt RT 40 took the lead at the green flag and was never seriously challenged as he cruised to an 11-1/2 second victory over his teammate, Canadian-born Jacques Villeneuve. "I was a little worried about my (rain) Tires as the track dried out," said Bourbonnais. "They seemed to go away a bit, but held together justlong enough." Villeneuve and Willowdale's David Empringham were in- volved in the best race of the day until "Emp" was caught out by abackmarker and had to settle for third spot. Patrick Carpentier, from Jolliette, Quebec made for a com- plete Canadian sweep as he recovered from an early spin to fin- ish fourth. In six races held to date, Canadian drivers have five wins, (Bourbonnais - 3, Villeneuve - 2, four pole positions, (Bourbon- nais - 2, Villeneuve - 2) and with his series of consistent finishes, (four - thirds and one - second), Empringham now leads the overall point standings. : The Players Ltd./Toyota Atlantic series now swings east to compete at the Moosehead Grand Prix in Halifax before return- ing to Ontario to run as a supporting event for Toronto's Molson Indy. Other Canadian drivers were not as lucky at Mosport's Players 200 weekend. Mississauga's Ron Fellows came to his home track leading the Tide Trans-Am championship with two wins and an eighth place finish to his credit. Taking the green flag in fifth spot, Fellows charged towards the front and was challenging Scott Sharp's Rain X Camaro for the lead when the MacKenzie Mustang suddenly slowed. A trip to the pits revealed a broken piston in the Ford powerplant and Fellows' day was done before the race reached one-quarter dis- tance. "It's a real shame this had to happen," stated a disheartened Fellows. "MacKenzie brought in a huge crowd to see us race and the engine broke before we had a chance to show them what we could do." Sharp went on to take the win with Tommy Archer's Dodge Daytona and Jack Baldwin's Hot Wheels Camaro rounding out the podium positions. ob Fellows, Ron's little brother, ran his first full Trans-Am race in the Gloy Racing Mustang but was unable to crack the top 10. The Trans-Am series also returns in a month to the Molson Indy in Toronto. Just to finish up, the Yokohama Formula 1200 cars ran as a support race at Mosport with Matthew Coveart winning the rain soaked event. Blackstock's Peter Lunny survived a difficult weekend to claim second spot. "The transmission locked up on me in Friday's practice and we worked on it until after midnight, tearing it down and re- building it," explained Peter. "The scary part was that we didn't find anything wrong!" Whatever gremlins may have been hiding in the transmis- sion, obviously disappeared as Lunny was able to celebrate his best ever finish. Two events to keep in mind: On July 2, 3 and 4, the VARAC North American Vintage Fes- tival travels to Shannonville Motorsport Park and on the 10th and 11th of July the ultra-radical ISMA Supermods come to Mosport International Speedway co-hosting with the Goodyear Challenge Cup. y "Scugog's Community Newspaper of Choice" Upcoming shuffleboard dates at Scugog Arena The Scugog Shuffleboard Club will be hosting the provin- cial and national doubles tour- naments in July.
