Racing his new Corvair, Neil finished third overall in the event and took first place in his class, For the first time too, he got under the two minute mark for a single lap. After a couple of Japs he got his time down to about 1 minute 59 seconds, He was one of only two other driv- ers who were not lapped by the winning Mini Cooper 'S' driven by Bill Brack. Fourth overall in the same race was Max Castleberg driving an identical car to his team mate Neil. Back in the paddock after the race Castleberg told The Oshawa Times that his car was still suffering from car- buration problems and was losing on power. Even so he finished second in his class. Right on form and turning in one of the best local per- formances of the day was Richard Baker driving a MG twin cam. Entered in a production sports:car race Baker finished second overall to the very fast Sunbeam Alpine driven by Ian Hart His yellow MG also took second in class award, awa will soon be loosing this very fast Osh- competitor, Baker is moving to St. Therese when the new General Motors operation opens "I shall be coming to Mosport quite regularly though," he said after his race. 'The car is really moving nicely now. UNLUCKY DEBUT Less lucky on an eventful day was Al Reading who appeared for the first time in his new Cooper Monaco. The car failed to start in his sports car race and had to be quickly taken back into the paddock for adjustments. Eventually the car was got going and Reading tore back into the race. At the back of the circuit, however, something broke in the engine and the car came to a halt. Max Egli, from Brooklin, had a turn at the wheel for a change and finished second overall and first in class in a novice race held during the morning racing. Elgi's usual position is back in the paddock as mechanic to the car he was racing '(Mortage Ceiling Boost Aids Few: CMHC Official OSHAWA DRIVERS TRIUMPH | Down Payments Eased, AT MOSPORT MOTOR RACES Effective Immediately Boosting the ceiling on mort- gages for NHA homes will help only a very narrow segment of prospective home buyers, says the general manager of Osh- awa's Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Roland Spencer did point out that raising the maximum loan (mortgage) for residential con- struction (apartments exclud- ed) to $18,000 from $14,900 would "ease" the down payment situation. However, a higher income would be necessary to carry the higher-priced house because sal- ary requirements for mortgage approvals are still in effect. Mr. Spencer reminded that the ratio of loan to lending value remains at 95 percent of the first $13,000 and 70 percent of the remainder -- to $18,000. He said a $21,100 house would see the maximum mortgage available borrowed. (Average price of. new homes in Metro Toronto has crept up to just below the $21,000 mark). With homes increasing in price and a firm ceiling on mort- gages, down payments were in- creasing. The ceiling boost will result in narrowing the gap -- thus lowering the down payment and benefitting buyers of houses "mainly in the $19,000 to $21,000 price range". The boost is effective immed- iately. City and district buyers who have already bought homes can take advantage of the change ONLY if a house is still under gage money is still] to be ad- vanced. Mr. Spencer said in these cases his office will issue a supplementary commitment (up to $18,000) to whatever the houses appraises. CMHC does its own house ap- praisals before approving mort- gages, he explained. Generally he said, the land appraisal runs about 95 percent "as a hedge against inflation'. He said land prices in the cfty are under continual review. Building evaluations run gen- erally higher -- even above 100 percent on occasion. '"Every- thing is included in our appria- sal -- legal fees and profit for the builder as well as construc. tion cost," Mr. Spencer said.
