Tia n “W/ I ‘“ RON CRAINI Have you ever heard anybody complain about what it costs to operate a car these days? Sure you have, and you’ve probably done your phare of the complaining if you’re a normal-type Citizen. There 5 one fellow living in Richmond Hill who pays main- tenance costs and operating costs that make your bill and my bill pale into insignificance. And he never complains. - n .‘ ."LAH Jack Cook lives on Essex Ave. During the winter months he labours for an oil company, but from May to October he is one of the top stock car drivers in Canada. He races an average of four nights a week and has to travel over a goodly part of Ontario to do it. The Cook bomb can be seen running on tracks in London, Kitchener, and other Western Ontario cen- tres. In his first year of racing the exhibition circuit this season, he finished fourth in the overall stand- ings. And that’s against the cream of the stock car pifots ! r..v.~ . According to Mr. Cook, the name “stock car” is a misnomer. The correct title is “modified car”. Al- most everyone thinks of a wild-eyed, leadfooted, harem-scarem character driving a stock car. The impression is false. Such a tremendous amount of money is tied up in a modified car that a driver just wolnldn't dare to be careless in his handling of his ve 1c e. Special disc brakes. magnesium wheels and rac- ing-slick tires, represent an investment of a thousand dollars. A special rear end and gear box run another thousand, while the power plant alone runs well over two thousand dollars. Add a few more hundred for special torsion bar suspension, a few dials for an austere instrument panel, plus a great many safety features, and there you haVe five thousand dollars or better. So who can afford to be wild? Fuel costs alone are enough to frighten the aver- age motorist half to death. These buggies just won’t perform at maximum on fuel out of the pumps. All the octane, megatane and other fancy additives don’t do a think for these mills. It takes fifteen dollars worth of alcohol to fire them up for an evening of racing, and three quarts of oil at one dollar and sixty cents a quart to help it hold together. A typical fuel bill for the Cook chariot runs around two hundred and seventy dollars a month! Jack Cook started racing ten years ago in a car that cost him two hundred and fifty dollars. Today the investment in the present car is twenty times that amount. His engine is a tricky piece of mech- anism that, with the aid of fuel injection, pushes out around 400 ravening horsepower, and can scoot the car along at 150 mph on a long'straightaway. This is where Don Delville comes into the picture. Don is an Aurora resident who spends almost every evening currying and worrying over the car. He and Cook are full partners in all profits earned by the machine, and he broods over it like a mother hen. When Don goes to work on any part of the car he works as meticulously as any watchmaker. No ham- mer mechanic this boy! Jack Cook says that it’s a great feeling for a driver to know that his car is always in first-class shape. It gives him a feeling of confidence and security. With the deft Mr. Delville looking after the iron, Jack allows that he hasn’t a worry in the world. It’s a precarious business in which to make a living. Only 20% of the cars’ drivers and/or owners manage to make any kind of living. The sport has developed to the point where only top performance can ensure success. The Cook-Delville team does many things to ensure that their car is always in top shape. Pistons and valves are X-rayed periodically to reveal any flaws in the metal. To the naked eye the parts look perfect. The all-revealing eye of the X-ray will show flaws that would otheerise result in failure of a critical part and impair performance. Parts are replaced and the defective ones junked. Crown and pinion gears are replaced every three nights of racing and every time this is done another ninety dollars goes down the drain. Using the careful maintenance system, the team has one of the hottest cars in the country-fend one of the safest. Jack Cook has never sustained a serious injury in ten years of racing. His wife says that hockey players and football players are prone to injury to a much greater degree than racing drivers. And statis- tics bear her out. The Cook-Delville team will wind up the racing season at Oswego, New York, in October. Then they’ll work, plot and plan all through the lung winter months to put an even hotter competitor on the track next year. While a race is on Jack Cook has only one goal in mind, get out in front and stay there. The getting out in front is done not only on the track but in the garage where the engine is tuned to the nth degree. And he can stay there because of driving skill and also because every part of the car has had the hestpossible care and adjustment. With the closing down of Pinecrest Speedway, Jack Cook feels that modified car racing is slipping in this area. A new track being built at Hamilton should do a great deal to boost it again and make the sport more popular than ever. He feels that he has six or seven years of top competition leftâ€"after that, who knows? What appeals to him the most about the sport is the fact that every man is doing his utmost to win every time out on the track. There’s no such thing as a boat race in the stock car business. And if you don’t know what a boat race is, Clara, just ask anyone who has ever thrown away a mutuel ticket at New Woodbine, or any other track for that matter. They’ll be glad to explain.

Operating in the K&W Lea- gue, the girls have gone through the opposition like a brush fire. Latest victims of the Mic Mac; softball wizardry were the Nob- leton team as they absorbed two straight losses by very lop- sided scores. At the present time it would appear that Maple is the only club in the league capable of giving the Mic Macs a ball game. And they were defeated twice by the Richmond Hill club.
