Vï¬iï¬ï¬E'fXXitITNUMBER 11 The next move for the Clan Simpson was to Canada and three years ago they took up residence in Richmond Hill. As a production engineer with De- Havilland Aircraft, Bill’s interest in cars and motors increased by leaps and bounds. A short time after coming to the land of the Maple Leaf the Simpsons acquired their ï¬rst automobile and Bill Simpson soon qualiï¬ed for his driver’s licence. Big Detroit wheeled cushions don't appeal too much to the Simpsons and it wasn’t too long before they were the proud owners of a Triumph TR3. Bill did some racing in the TR3 but never had too much success until he fell in love with the Sprite. And this is no ordinary Sprite. Everything that can be done to turn a very peppy production car into a wheeled bomb has been done. Special racing cams and what-have-you are now an integral part of the inner workings of the pint-sized motor. All unnecess- ary parts such as lights, windshield, upholstery and even the original doors, have been removed. Any- thing that can be replaced by a lighter part of equal or evengreater strength, has been replaced. All this to coax a few more pounds off the frame so that the power plant can boot it along just a few M.P.H. faster. Last year Bill was sent to the United Kingdom by DeHavilland Aircraft and in his spare time he learned a great deal about his favourite car. One of his tutors was the famous Paddy Goston, probably the world’s best Sprite pilot. Filled with new en- thusiasm and bulging with ideas, he returned to Richmond Hill and his beloved car. I‘m ' “ ' Ever felt the urge to drive a shoe-box sized car at 103 miles per hour? Bill Simpson of 327 Elmwood Avenue in Richmond Hill had such an urge and did something about it. He became a sports car racing driver, pushing an Austin-Healey Sprite to the ab- solute limit. , Ten years ago Bill and his good wife Ella were residing in their native heath, Scotland. They came from Kirkcaldy in Fifeshire and, for the beneï¬t of the Sassenachs, the word is pronounced Kercoddy. At this stage of his career Bill Simpson was a toolmaker. He didn’t own a car and couldn’t even Aviva nna hm: thrnuq’h friends. he became interested At this stage of his career toolmaker. He didn't own a c: drive one but, through friends, in sports cars and racing. All last winter the Sprite was torn down and rebuilt in the Simpson garage. Hours of T.L.C. (ten- der, loving care) were put into the tightening and ï¬tting of each and every individual part. In this la- bour of love Bill Simpson had the assistance of his neighbour and interested friend Eric Lane. When the racing season came along, the Simp- son; and the family Sprite were off to the races â€" literally off to the races. They raced at Greenacres near Goderich and on the Mosport Track when it was ï¬rst opened. In the early stages the car was driven to the scene of each race, along highway and byway. Today the car is much too ï¬nicky a racing plant to drive on the road and has to be trucked or trailered to the scene of the fray. At full throttle the little Sprite turns over at 7500 RPM. which, roughly translated is awfully close to 105 M.P.H. Much too much car to drive on a shopping safari. And just how does a housewife feel about a racing husband? Ella Simpson takes the whole business in her stride and really enjoys the races. When Bill goes to race, the Simpsons take a tent and all the equipment along and turn it into a holiday week-end. Mrs. Simpson does the cooking, cools the root beer and takes care of the lap board that informs Bill just how he is doing in the race. About the only thing she doesn’t do is to swing a wrench and, if the need arose, she'd be capable of that chore as well. All has not been a bed of roses in the Simpson racing career. You may recall a photograph which appeared in the large metropolitan dailies showing a sports car upside down at Mosport. The car was the Simpson Sprite and the fortunately uninjured driver was William Simpson himself. In his soft Scottish burr he says that he went into a hairpin bend at full throttle and then found himself walking away from a wreck. Just the fortunes of racing and, in his book, nothing much to worry about. Next year Shelton and Simpson plan to take the car to races in Quebec at the St. Eugene circuit and also hope to campaign in the United States. All the neighbours on Elmwood will be following the Simp- sonracing fortunes with interest and some of them feel almost a proprietary interest in the Sprite. ~ Along the way the Simpsons fell in with Dick Shelton of Shelton-Mansell Motors. Dick is a real racing ï¬lbert from away back 'and he and Bill Simpson formed a ï¬rm fast friendship. Car parts are now acquired through Shelton-Manse“ Motors and all work is done at the garage located at Steeles and Yonge. ' Bill Simpson gives credit to Dick Shelton for passing on a host of driving tips that have made a better driver of him. He rates Shelton as one of the best Sprite drivers in the country and it was Shelton who piloted the Simpson car to a second place ï¬nish at Mosport. Now. according to Bill the car is even faster than it was then. A big meet is coming up at the Mosport circuit during the last weekend of September. A lot of Rich- mond Hill residents will be trekking east to watch the action and to cheer for their favourite car and driver when their race comes up. In addition to seeing a. neighbour race in a small car event those who make the trip will be able to see such world renowned driv- ers as Olivier Gendebien and Stirling Moss and the up and coming Canadian driver, Peter Ryan.
