PAGE TEN THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 1951 MOTORBIKE RAC Motorcycle Racing On Ice Returns to Oshawa Arena In Answer to Encore Bid Pe Q-- Oshawa Kinsmen Club Responds To Request For Repeat Perform- ance -- Motorcycle Rid- ers Representing Ham- ilton and Oshawa Will Vie Here Saturday Night -- Another Broom Ball Game With the ice of the Oshawa Arena scheduled to come out some time during the week of April 8th, there isn't. much time left for Oshawa spectators to enjoy their favourite ice sports. Saturday night, however, the Kinsmen Club of Oshawa is fulfilling its promise to bring back motorcycle racing on ice to the Hambly ice palace. This thrilling sport has been stag- ed once this year, held Friday, March 2, and it proved to be popular enough to put® nore spectators in' the Arena than had been there for any previous event during the 1950- 51 winter season. The .thousands that came to watch Canada's newest and most dangerous sport weren't disappointed either as two teams of riders, representing the Kitchener and Oshawa Motorcycle Clubs put | on a thrilling show, | Thrilling and Dangerous | It's quive a sight to see four or | six 125 James two-stroke motor- | at a perilous 45 degree angle on these turns, and it takes steady nerves and a balancing foot to keep the motorbikes on the "track", or ice, during these dangerous switch- €roos. Because of the speed the boys keep up during the entire race, which averages about two minutes in duration, spills are not uncom- mon, and during their last visit here Oshawa spectators learned why these boys have trouble getting in- surance to cover their daring hob- by. The bikes make it around the courge in such short order that a rider who falls is scarcely able to pick himself and the machine up, and get it off the course before the other three entrants are bearing down on him again, their exhausts roaring, the sharpened stove bolts flashing in the brightness of the arena. Team racing, an English inno- vation, is in vogue for motorcycle racing on ice, and Saturday night the teams will represent the cities of Hamilton and Oshawa, with three Oshawa riders, Don Granfield, Don Townsend and Ken Aston all wear- ing the colors of their home town. In preliminary events, two mem- bers from each six-man team pair off, and four, three, two and one points are given for first, second, third and fourth finishers, respec- tively. The judges compute these figures and the top three riders from each team compete in a six-man, twenty lap race as the finale for the evening. Without a shadow of a doubt, mo- bikes, their tires studed with sharp- { torcycle racing on ice is one of the ened stove bolts, tearing around a | most exciting sports spectacles you'll marked-out course at speeds up to | forty miles per hour, From a stand- | ing start that sees the bikes rear | up on their rear wheels with the] impetus of a quick start, the men | and their machines roar around the | red barrels that mark the confines | of the course of ten laps, and in al- | most every case the lead changes | hands four or five times during each | event, with the gains made for the | most part by the drivers who can make the tightest curves at the turn. The machines are laid down Daredevils Trade ever have the opportunity of ob- serving. The big night gets started at 8.30, and the show generally lasts just over two hours. Another Broom Ball Game As an added feature again, the | Kinsmen Club members will be hav- ing a half-time broom ball game with the Oshawa Lions club pro- viding the opposition. This proved to be a very popular feature the last time motorcycle racing came to the Oshawa Arena, and it's being staged again by popular demand.

Victoria's premier, John G. B. McDonald, is known to hold the view that the entire situation should be reviewed and Thomas T. Hollo- way, leader of the opposition, has expressed similar sentiments.
