Well thank you barrie97  and yes Justme Wardle won 3 championships and then had some type of inner ear problem I believe that effected his balance and ended his driving career . Don was a class act and a very good driver.I think Don was driving for Eddie Regan then , some of you may know his son Junior Regan that was not to bad a driver but had sort of a short run .

I've been kicking around the track since 1969, back when my father was the track photographer for a few years, then he drove for a couple after that, I can remember a few names from back then, Like Terry Barr, Bev Bye, Ron carter, Peter Schotanus,The Stefnicks and so on,,, I don't always recall everyone's stats but there was definatly alot of good drivers back then...

We have probally crossed paths over the years then Justme . I am not near as good at the stat  thing as guys like statman on here. I tend to remember the front runners and the unusual cars like the Triumph mini stock that Schotanus built and they banned or the Corvair bodied LM that Victil raced . Most all the top guys from Barrie and other tracks would come to Pinecrest to try their hand and maybe get  what was the big money at the time .Heck Pinecrest was paying more money to win 75 and 100 lappers then the NCTS pays now to win a 250 or 300 lappers.

I remember those names too from my dad and grandpa. jim Viktail, bev bye. but those names were before my times...lol...I remember watching guys like Trent and Simon Stoltz. Brian Malcolm, Garry Reynolds, and a whole pile more. I remember Street Stock drivers like Tim Cotter and Dave Sinclair and Eric and Whitey Whiteside. makes me feel young again as my brother and I were young we would pick a car and pretend we were driving that car as we sat in the grandstands. fun times.

Speaking of the Triumph mini stock,It's a good thing Peter Schotanus has the tech guy at Barrie in his back pocket they are real close cause if you looked in the dictionary in the sixties under the word cheater you would see the dutch mans face. The only change is in the new updated  Oxford dictionary 2007 edition  if look look for the word cheater you will still see Schotanus's face but a little more wrinkled and a lot balder.
