2 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, June 8, 1960 | GOOD EVENING © By JACK GEARIN MOSPORT COULD BE BIG DEAL Ever hear of Mosport Ltd? It's a company composed of the hard core of On- tario sports car club members. They have organized themselves into a company to create and run a racing circuit which will be known as Mosport. The site of the track, already owned by the com- pany, is 50 miles east of Toronto, near Orono and north of Newcastle. Trade and industry are interested in co-operating with the venture but only if the clubs prove their in- terest by providing the track themselves. Mosport could be a big thing for Oshawa and dis- trict, especially if it became an international racing site on the scale of Indianapolis. Oshawa Motors Sports Club, 1050 Ravine road is a member . Alan Bunting, of Toronto, said the cost of the ideal track would be close to $123,000 but the company could get by with one costing $71,000. He is co-chairman and secretary of the board. Mosport represents 15 sports car clubs. Tf plans to raise the money for the track by the sales of three per- cent debentures in $100 units, which can be purchased for $20 down and $20 monthly. They will be non-voting and will be recoverable by the company at any time after three vears and before 15 years. A minmum of £50,000 in sales would be realized before any committed for construction of the track The company would launch a campaign to trade and industry interest to finance the construction 'of buildings, appointments and gencessions once the track was down. The entire project would cost approxi- mately $250,000 The track will be 2.4 miles long with a level start- finish straightaway of almost 1,000 feet. Its features will include grades, slow and fast bends, an 8/10 miles straight and a major, banked turn. An S bend will slow cars before they enter the start finish. straight. The track will be 28 feet wide, 32 feet on corners, asphalt paved with paved shoulders sloping gradually away from the track to minimize the danger of cars over- turning The present racing track at Harewood Acres is totally inadequate because of the fast growth of the sport in Ontario. With virtually no publicity( on a track which has little spectator appeal, and, because of its nature can attract only a second-class entry of cars), a gate of 10,000 wag on hand at Harewood on May 9, 1959 Mosport Ltd. was erganized by the British Empire Motor Club and the moter sport clubs in Ontario. After searching three years, the company bought more than 450 acres of picturesque parkland close to the junction of Highway 115 and 35, north of Bow- manville It is hoped te have bulldozers in to start the track by the end ef July. President R. A. Byatt the basic principles which guide the directors are control of the venture must remain vested in "sport" as a whole; (b) the property must for all forms of motor sport; (e¢) the present must be preserved; (d) the both competitors and spectators limited money 1s widen work on said (a) the remain available beauty of the location best possible facilities for must be provided LITTLE NOTES FROM HERE AND THERE Malcolm Smith, president of Local 222, UAW-CI0O, was re-elected vice-president of the Canadian-UAW Council (which represents the union's 65,000 members), last week-end in Port Elgin, Ont The Globe and Mail earried a feature story last Saturday Labor Minister Michael Starr under the heading.

In March, 1958, 'Starr spent enly four days in his own riding, he won it with the biggest majority in its history Oshawa Downtown Businessmen's Associatior cided to send at least two observers to City meetings in future to keep a close tab on what's trans- piring Council-wise Major D.
