wr Just like the Mosport Speedway script writers had planned, the season's point championships will be decided in a final weekend shoot-out. Rod Sauder entered Saturday's action atop the standings in the Late Model Sportsman class with a slim five point advan- tage over Caledon's Ken Paston. The Port Perry resident was able to stretch his lead by taking a victory in the first heat and claiming second spot in the next go-round. Other heat winners included Bill Northam, Gary Mead and Vic Auger. The 25 lap feature was slowed by four caution periods and saw only 11 cars of the original 17 complete the event. Vic Auger eventually emerged as the winner leading a five car freight train consisting of Randy Slack, Sauder, Gary Mead and Alex Hamilton to the line. Paston's championship hopes took a beating as his night ended with the #0 car returning to the pad- dock on the back of a wrecker. If a driver at Mosport can "claim a sweep," that is, take victo- ries in both heats and the feature event, a total of 80 points can be earned in a single night. With this in mind, there are still three drivers in contention for the Street Stock championship. Dwight Brown has a far from secure lead in the overall stand- ings heading into the final weekend with Duke Paul and defend- ing champion Andy Warbutton easily within striking distance. Paul was able to close a little on the leader by taking one heat victory while other winners in the preliminaries included Owen Smith, Graham Brown and Inglewood's Kelly Williams. Williams, one of only two female racers competing at Mos- port, started the feature run from the pole position and held the point for 19-1/2 of the 20 lap dash. Warbutton, charging up from his second row starting spot, pressured Williams for the entire race before he was able to out-brake her going into turn three and win the drag race to the finish. Williams held on for second, a half car length in arrears, with Brent Sullivan, Duke Paul and Jim Rossiter rounding out the top five. Dwight Brown didn't help his championship hopes very much as he crossed the line in 11th spot. The one title that has been awarded is in the Thunder Car di- vision. The win and a third place finish in the heats, coupled with a 15 lap feature victory has secured the Thunder Car crown for Oshawa's Doug Todgham. Defending champion Royce Jones looked like a runaway vic- tor early in the year but a mid-season technical violation penal- ty moved him back in the standings. Jones, who has fought back and is now in second place overall and current third place man, Derek Henderson each claimed two heat wins on Saturday night in their battle for the runner-up spot with Bob Kish taking the final heat win. The 15 lap feature race was run almost incident free and saw Toby Baker chase Todgham to the checkered flag followed by Jones, Kish, Darren Hockney and Ken Perrier with his co- driver, Alf. The final weekend of the year should be a dandy with two ti- tles left to be claimed and an entire winter ahead to repair any damage that may be suffered in that pursuit. The final race weekend at Mosport International Speedway will also highlight the last appearance this year of the American Canadian Tour (ACT) series as well as the Goodyear Challenge Cup for Late Model cars. One final note: Congratulations to Blackstock's Peter Lunny who claimed his first career Formula 1200 victory at Mosport Park last Sunday on the SCCA National Run-Off Weekend.
