The CASCARS are coming!<br />

THE GOOD ol' boys<br />

are making <strong>the</strong>ir way<br />

back to <strong>the</strong> Gold Pan<br />

City.<br />

The Canadian Association<br />

for Stock Car<br />

Auto Racing, after a twoweek<br />

layoff, will be in<br />

Quesnel this weekend to<br />

run <strong>the</strong> sixth CASCAR<br />

Super Series <strong>We</strong>st race of<br />

<strong>the</strong> year.<br />

CASCAR, for those<br />

who know nothing about<br />

<strong>the</strong> sport, is a junior version<br />

of NASCAR racing<br />

in <strong>the</strong> U.S.<br />

Drivers to watch for<br />

are Prince George's Steve<br />

Jefferson, #5, who leads<br />

<strong>the</strong> CASCAR <strong>We</strong>st Series<br />

Harold Browne, seen here spinning out in Prince George at <strong>the</strong> iron Horse 150, will be<br />

one off several CASCAR racers who will be making <strong>the</strong>ir way to Quesnei this weelcend.<br />

Sales ready and rarin'<br />

THINGS JUST don't go<br />

right some times, no matter<br />

how hard a person tries.<br />

In <strong>the</strong> fifth CASCAR Super<br />

Series <strong>We</strong>st race of <strong>the</strong> year, <strong>the</strong><br />

Castrol-Bumper to Bumper 100<br />

in Regina, Saskatchewan, Don<br />

Sales, despite trying his hardest<br />

yet again, literally ran into<br />

more bad luck.<br />

On lap 31, Sales' Skoal Inc.<br />

Chevrolet experienced mechanical<br />

failure and was forced to<br />

retire early. A piston broke in<br />

<strong>the</strong> bottom half of Sale's 350<br />

cubic inch, 375 horse power<br />

motor.<br />

Taking <strong>the</strong> checkered flag<br />

in <strong>the</strong> capital city was Kevin<br />

Dowler of Sherwood Park, Ab.<br />

The Ford Quality Care/<br />

Mohawk sponsored-racer, who<br />

led from lap 22 on, staved off a<br />

hard charge from Calgary's<br />

Harold Browne for <strong>the</strong> win.<br />

At one point. Sales and his<br />

green, 1994 Chevy Lumina<br />

were fourth. However, he had<br />

to pit after being rear-ended<br />

which put him at <strong>the</strong><br />

back of <strong>the</strong> pack. After winding<br />

i - 1. ^<br />

not give <strong>the</strong> Billy<br />

Barker llqysTfteftMon a g»?<br />

his way through half of <strong>the</strong><br />

field, his piston snapped.<br />

It wasn't <strong>the</strong> first time Sales<br />

has experienced mechanical<br />

problems.<br />

In Hy<strong>the</strong>, Ab., <strong>the</strong> race<br />

before Regina, Sales had<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r piston snap in <strong>the</strong> bottom<br />

half of his engine.<br />

Motor problems are only<br />

two in a string of mishaps that<br />

have put a slight damper on<br />

Sales'season.<br />

To date, Number 33 has<br />

not finished any of <strong>the</strong> year's<br />

previous four races. In <strong>the</strong> yearopener<br />

at Prince George, Sales<br />

crashed on lap 101 of 150.<br />

"Things haven't changed<br />

much since Prince," stated<br />

Sales, who hopes his luck soon<br />

changes. "If it isn't a crash,<br />

<strong>the</strong>n it's mechanical."<br />

But in all of <strong>the</strong>m, <strong>the</strong><br />

Skoal Inc. driver had shown<br />

promise, as he consistently<br />

wound up in top 10 starting<br />

positions.<br />

For example, <strong>the</strong> Quesnel<br />

resident was fourth in heat<br />

racing and seventh in timing.<br />

with 818 points, and<br />

Sherwood Park's Kevin<br />

Dowler, #35, who is second<br />

with 798. Saskatoon's<br />

Dan Shirley, #46,<br />

third with 786, is yet<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r key figure on <strong>the</strong><br />

track to keep an eye<br />

peeled on.<br />

Quesnel's Don Sales<br />

and Ron Larson are 15 th<br />

and 16th in point standings<br />

respectively.<br />

Time trials at^ <strong>the</strong><br />

Goldpan Motor Speedway<br />

start at 4:00. An<br />

autograph session, starting<br />

at 5:00, precedes <strong>the</strong><br />

racing which starts at<br />

6:00 p.m.<br />

Larson looks forward<br />

"Our car is quick. <strong>We</strong><br />

know that. It's just that we've<br />

been having a lot of minor troubles<br />

this year for some reason."<br />

Ron Larson has just summed<br />

up his 1996 CASCAR<br />

Super Series <strong>We</strong>st season so far.<br />

Out of <strong>the</strong> four events <strong>the</strong><br />

Quesnel resident has experienced<br />

problems in every race.<br />

So far, he's finished 12th, 20th,<br />

17th and ninth.<br />

"If it ain't tires, it's parts<br />

breaking. And if it ain't parts,<br />

we're crashing," stated Number<br />

12.<br />

In Calgary, <strong>the</strong> second race<br />

of <strong>the</strong> year, a module quit in his<br />

white, 1994 Chevrolet Lumina,<br />

which forced <strong>the</strong> Richmond<br />

Engines/ Brigdon Manufacturing<br />

sponsored driver to exit<br />

early. Then in Saskatoon, an oil<br />

spill caused a multi-car crash,<br />

which he was part of.<br />

In Hy<strong>the</strong>, Ab., a tire change<br />

cost him a possible victory.<br />

"<strong>We</strong> were leading <strong>the</strong> race<br />

when he had a stop and go on<br />

lap 75 to check out <strong>the</strong> tires."<br />

The Grande Prairie track is<br />

almost like sandpaper and eats<br />

up hard tires at a voracious<br />

rate.<br />

And because of that, officials<br />

allowed racers to change<br />

tires from a harder compound,<br />

87s, to a softer compound, 86s.<br />

"<strong>We</strong> led until lap 90, where<br />

we were forced to pit in and<br />

change tires. <strong>We</strong> had to put on<br />

an old set of 86s just to keep up<br />

to <strong>the</strong> guys who put on 86s,"<br />

remarked Larson.<br />

The 86 compound tire is<br />

four-tenths of a second quicker<br />

than <strong>the</strong> 87s. Several laps at 80<br />

miles per hour can create a<br />

huge difference. One Larson is<br />

well aware of.<br />

After <strong>the</strong> race, "where he<br />

finished ninth - seven laps<br />

behind <strong>the</strong> Winner, Larson was<br />

so mad about <strong>the</strong> tire change,<br />

he boycotted <strong>the</strong> next race in<br />

Regina.<br />

Larson, however, has let<br />

bygones be bygones and is just<br />

focusing on this weekend.<br />

"<strong>We</strong>'re hoping to do really<br />

well on our home track."<br />
