2A THE OSHAWA TIMES, Soturdey, October 30, 1965 MOTORING By CHRIS DENNETT Automotive Writer Of The Oshawa Times "The Comstock motor racing team," said those who like to.think they are in the know, "is withdrawing from motor racing." The Canadian Grand Prix, the wagging tongues went THE STORY was the same everywhere I turned. on, was the last appearance of the Comstock team's 'noisy, brash and incredibly fast Ford Mustangs. Comstock is dead -- the rumors left no room for doubt. The Volvo Car Club's newsletter made it official by an- nouncing the news as a "'stop press" item. More than a little concerned that the team's green- striped behemoths 'night be leaving the scene, I did a little checking. I got hold of team manager Paul Cooke at the Agin- court headquarters of the Comstock stable, and got the a straight from the Mustang's mouth so to speak. "Y've heard the rumor too,'"' he said. "And it isn't true. Comstock will be back "next year." THERE ARE, however, big changes in store for Can- ada's biggest and best known racing team. For a start the Mustangs are going out the door. They will go up for sale at the end of this month. Up for grabs will be the Comstock sedan Mustang which in 15 starts last season took 14 outright wins and a second place, the Shelby prepared GT 358 Mustang and Com- stock's own sports prepared fastback Mustang. "We are leoking for Canadian buyers", explained Paul Cooke. "This is one reason why we will be selling them at a reasonable price. If at all possible we want to keep them on the Canadian circuits." If last season's success is anything to go by Comstock should have no trouble in unloading the Mustangs. The sedan Mustang especially, is a real going concern. There is just nothing around that is capable of coming anywhere close to the huge machine. COMSTOCK'S PLANS for next season are still very much im the discussion stages, but it looks as though they will be concentrating their battalions in the sports car field. "It is possible we may be running Corvette's next year," said Mr. Cooke. , All last season the team watched with growing concern the Corvette entered by Gorries of Toronto creep closer and closer to their all conquering Mustang in sports car events. Finally, it began te whemp the Mustang in no uncertain terms. Now it appears that the thinking is, if you can't lick 'em, jom 'em. | If the team does swing over to Corvettes, it will be a big blow to Ford who have been supporting Comstock with engines and parts for sometime now. They have obviously been greatly pleased at the Mus- tang's impressive tally of crowd-pleasing wins. "We have given a lot of thought to this," explained Paul Cooke. "We have gone about as far as we can with ee I don't think we can get them to go much faster. "So it is time for a change. I have two aims here, one is to breed a race winning car and the other is to give the public value for money. THE RACE-FANS should come out of the changeover very well indeed. The Mustangs will still be around in racewinning hands next season and, additionally, they will be treated to the appearance of a couple more well prepared machines. Perhaps happier than anybody will be Genera] Motors. For a long time now, GM has resolutely refused to enter motor racing in any way, shape or form. They have left the racing to Ford who have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in breeding a race winning image. GM, which officially has never sunk a penny inte motor racing and has no intention of doing so, has been watching with glee the ever increasing number of race winning, GM - engined cars.

AMID THE GUNS BELOW The Story of the Canadian Corps | i914 - 1919 by Larry Worthing- This is a clear, brief account of the Canadians on the Western front, well-indexed and with the essential map included. Mrs. Worthington, wife and biographer of Major - General F. F. Worthington, has written a lively account of the men and their leaders. The energetic, prejudiced yet fiercely loyal Minister of Mili- tia, Sam Hughes of Darlington, Ontario, must have been one of our most colorful native sons. The initiative of General Bru- tinel and his 1st Motors and the scientific artillery techniques of General McNaughton were in contrast to the 'wear down' poli- cies of Field Marshal Haig which wore down the Allies too. ; w In 1917 the Canadians fought together as a unit for the first time, the result being the vic-| tory of Vimy Ridge. Historians are still wrangling over the strategies pursued by. Sir Ar- thur Currie, the Corps Com- mander. DREARINESS, FILTH The writer tells of the front; the dreariness, the filth, gas warfare and the seemingly end- less rain in the trenches. The daring deeds of the Princess Patricia's Light Infantry, the Canadian Medical -Corps (in- cluding the immortal John Mc- Crae) and the rest are recorded. So are the performances of the Dumbells. The book ends as it began with the militia who once more filled the breach in 1939.
