It looks like summer has finally arrived
after a number of stops and starts. Who
remembers snow and sleet on May 12!?
This issue we are not fighting any
government legislation detrimental to
the car hobby. Instead, we are promoting
getting your cars out onto the streets
and highways for the pure enjoyment of
driving or attending events.
WOW what a spring and early summer!
It was either too hot, you had no power
or it was too wet; those who have cruise
nights were getting rained out almost 50%
of the time as were the drag race series. It
took three tries for the TNT racers to get
off one of their events. So we will forget
those early months and concentrate on the
rest of the season.
No matter what day of the week, you
can find a cruise night near you. Get out
your favourite specialty car and support
the cruises, car events, races and anything
else car related.
Here are a few of the dozens of events to
go to that have caught our eye. P.I. will be
having a seminar on Edelbrock’s E-Force
Superchargers on Monday, Sept. 16, get all
your questions answered by Edelbrock’s

_HISTORY
H
ow is that for a car review?
Was the driver experiencing
a new Ferrari or the latest
exotic sports car?
Nope. In this case, the car was the 1901
Henry Ford Sweepstakes race car, and the
driver who gave it that review after driving
it recently was none other than NASCAR
superstar Carl Edwards.
How can a man who has driven some of
the best race cars in the world, at speeds
that most of us can’t imagine, be so fasci-
nated with a car that would seem crude
and rudimentary to the average car buyer
today?
It’s simple, really. Carl, and the lucky
few who have driven Sweepstakes in the
last decade, have all been fascinated by
the car itself, the innovative technology
(for 1901) put together by Mr. Ford and
his three assistants, using what they knew,
along with what they felt would help make
the car competitive in the Grosse Pointe
race.
Think about it in terms of a modern
race car: it sat lower than the competition,
and thus probably more aerodynamic. It
was lighter than the competition, and thus
competitive with less horsepower. And
it used early forms of fuel injection and
featured the first use of ceramic-encased
spark coils (precursor of the modern spark
plug), so it was ahead of its time in engine
development.
But Carl and the others also understood
Sweepstakes’ place in automotive history:
how Mr. Ford had failed in his previous
automotive ventures, and was “swinging for
the fences” by entering a race against some-
one, Alexander Winton, who truly was the
greatest racer in America at that time.
What that upset victory on Oct. 10,
1901 meant to Mr. Ford, and eventually
the automotive industry itself, cannot be
understated.
Carl Edwards Drives Historic
1901 Sweepstakes Race Car
in Advance of Henry Ford’s
150 Birthday Celebration
Photos courtesy of Ford Racing
Story By: Matt Fancett & Kevin Kennedy
“The coolest car I have ever driven.”

Photograph by W.D. Benham, Detroit, 1918 “Ten Mile Race between Henry Ford (in No.4) and Alexander Winton at Old
Blue Ribbon Race Track, East Jefferson Avenue opposite present site of Hudson Motor Car Company. October 10th
1901. Time 13 minutes, 23 4/5 seconds, 45.33 miles per hour. Ford won. Lee Cuson, mechanic. 999 built 2 years later.”
Uncredited in the photo is Spider Huff, his riding mechanic, sitting low on Mr. Ford’s left side.
Ford’s win changed everything for him,
and ultimately, the history of the auto indus-
try. Several people watching that day came
forward with offers of financial support,
which set him on the road to establishing
Ford Motor Company in June 1903. Ford
went on to prove his belief in low-cost pro-
duction with the Model T, the car that put
the world on wheels.
“To think that this car is what started
this whole thing is just amazing.” Edwards
reflected. “If it weren’t for this, there might
not be a Ford Motor Company, there might
not be a Ford Racing, and a lot of people’s,
including my own, paths would be very
different.”
On a side note, I’ve been lucky to have
been there when both Carl and NASCAR
Hall of Famer Dale Jarrett drove the car.
These are both men who have won cham-
pionships and races at the highest level of
the sport. But, after experiencing a drive of
Sweepstakes, both men reached one other
conclusion: that Mr. Ford was indeed a very
brave man to drive that car, in that race, at
that speed.
“It may not look like much standing here,
or on video, but I am telling you that is one
of the scariest things I have ever done,” said
Edwards on the grounds of Greenfield Vil-
lage at The Henry Ford. “Coming around
that turn back there, there are no brakes. I
don’t know how those guys did that because
we were only going what, eight miles per
hour? They drove this thing near 70 mph
back in 1901. That is just insane.”
It’s perhaps why Mr. Ford said “never
again” after the race, and hired professionals
to drive his race cars from then on. Both
Edwards and Jarrett had great respect for
Henry Ford, the automotive icon, but they
also gained great respect for Henry Ford, the
race car driver, and Spider Huff, his riding
mechanic, after sitting up high in the seat of
Sweepstakes. •
“It may not look like much standing here, but I am telling
you that is one of the scariest things I have ever done.”

_CSCS
The instant the door hit old man winter
as he reluctantly trundled on, the event
season began to heat up from Southern
Ontario all the way to Quebec. Just
--just being relative to your fuel economy
of course-- outside of Toronto the sport
compact season was ushered in by the first
round of the Canadian Sport Compact
Series (CSCS) held at Toronto Motorsports
Park Cayuga.
There eager drifters, time attackers, and
1/4 mile junkies could shake the rust off
from a particularly long off season slumber
and ‘prove it on the track.’
With drag, drift, and time attack getting
increasingly more competitive year after year
drivers were pushing their limits to prove
they were the best out and set the correct
tone for the season.
This lead to several broken track
records in round one and that momentum
transferred over into round two where
records were more were broken still with
competitors jockeying to prove they are
number one. These friendly rivalries which
carry over from one event to another are
what make the Canadian Sport Compact
Series very exciting from a spectator’s point
of view.
At every CSCS event a stone’s throw away

from the track, show and shine participants
get together to showcase their latest
modifications and catch up with friends
they may not have seen since season end the
year before.
Several cars received both visual and
mechanical makeovers while some projects
were scraped entirely in favor of new ones.
As I walked around the vast show fields at
both the season opener and second round I
couldn’t help but be thankful that I was just
there to take photos and not judge.
As the only local compact car series it’s
great to see CSCS continue to do well year
after year, and that’s a direct result of the
hard work the organizers put in day in and
day out.
If you ever get the chance to attend a
CSCS event I can guarantee you won’t be
disappointed. •

Shortly after the first round of CSCS Nine-O-Five Rides, a long-
standing local car club, had their third annual Truck & Tuner
expo. On the day of the TNT Expo the weatherman called for the
worst but after a few morning showers the dark clouds parted and
by mid afternoon those who made the trek to Fireman’s park were
rewarded for their resilience with awesome weather.
With its sprawling grassy fields dotted with trees Fireman’s park
is a great venue to have a car show and a welcome change from the
more standard typical parking venue. Event wise the vehicle limbo
was easy enough to capture through photos but sadly there’s no way
for me to convey through print just how loud the Ford that won the
exhaust contest actually was. He simply blew away the competition,
something to be said for the power of an open header.
At three years young it’s impressive how much this show has
grown and some have begun to call it the replacement to the much
loved, and now deceased, Scrape By The Lake.
While I never got a chance to attend Scrape in its infancy I’m
told that show started off very similar to TNT. It may be putting
the cart a bit ahead of the horse in hoping this show grows to that
level but the potential is certainly there.
Only good things can be on the horizon for TNT Expo. •

_Eurokracy
Finally, outside of the city in
the land of Poutine
and cheap alcohol, Eurokracy 2013 took
place at Naiper Dragway in Montreal.
This event brought out some of the lowest,
fastest and cleanest euros Canada and
the surrounding area has to offer, as well
as a few notable ‘outcasts’ (that is non
European) as well.
After hearing nothing but good things
about Eurokracy for two straight years,
I decided 2013 was the year to make the
voyage from Toronto to Montreal to check
things out first-hand.
Being a terrible navigator, I opted to
join the Scraped Crusaders for their
cruise down and as the convoy got larger
stop after stop, I knew I wouldn’t be
disappointed in the show the following day.
With a turnout large enough to create
a serious impact on highway traffic,
Eurokracy 2013 certainly lived up to its
“Canada’s Finest European Automotive
Event” moniker. It is easily one of the
best and well organized events I’ve ever
attended.
A noteworthy stand out attribute of
Eurokracy is the fact the owners of the
venue were 100% behind everything the
organizers had planned and were often
ROADTRIP3

the push people needed to go all out in the
crowd pleasing burnout competition.
Another big benefit to the Napierville
Dragway is that the ¼ mile was viewable
from nearly any location in the facility.
This meant that if you were looking at a
car in the show field and heard something
angry revving up you could turn around
and catch the tail end of the pass no
problem.
This is something I’ve yet to experience
at any local GTA venues and it really
helped everything feel like one event as
opposed to a show and shine event that just
happened to be happening at the same time
as a drag event.
The underdog story of the day was a
small CRX managing to edge out an Audi
R8 in the quarter mile proving once again
it’s not the size of the dog in the fight that
matters, it’s the size dog the fight in the
dog.
With so many cars in attendance I kept
telling myself to take more photos in order
to somewhat accurately portray the scale of
the show but as soon as I got home the first
thing I asked myself was “why did I take
so many photos?”, funny how that always
seems to be the case.

Harness Installation “Painless”
Ease of installation was one of the key
goals for our wiring products from the
very beginning. Of course we specified
the very highest quality Thermal
Crosslinked Polyethylene wire stock
too. Then we print each application
the entire length of each color-coded
wire. And most important, we do half the
job for you by pre-terminating each wire into the main fuse
block for optimum reliability. Painless is not just a name.
Then we go further; We build-in a 70amp Maxi-Fuse to protect the entire circuit
system, we use only the finest quality connectors, relays and switches, and we
include a comprehensive instruction manual to guide you through to completion.
Finally, we offer the only Lifetime Guarantee in the performance wiring business.
We offer a wide variety of vehicle-specific applications for many popular
American muscle cars and classic trucks. Plus we have universal harnesses
in 8, 12 and 18 circuits for custom and race car applications.

interest in European cars (or low cars in
general) to check out one of these events
sometime in the future.

A
rtist and designer Gerry Judah has created a gravity-
defying sculpture that holds three iconic Porsche sports
cars 35 metres high in the sky. The sculpture was the
centrepiece at the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed in West
Sussex, England.
Judah was commissioned by Porsche GB to create the sculp-
ture as a celebration of 50 years of the Porsche 911. The sculpture
has three futuristic white, steel “arrows” that race upwards, each
with an example of the 911 at its apex. The models incorporated
in the sculpture are: the 1963 Original 911, the 1973 911 Carrera
RS 2.7 and the 2013 911.
Weighing over 22 tonnes, each leg of the sculpture is a
monocoque made of steel plate welded together with no internal
structure. It balances on points at the base that are extremely
narrow. The sculpture is finished in a clean white coating, giving
it an elegant simplicity.
Gerry Judah said: “I had to create a sculpture that personifies
the energy and excitement not only of these beautiful cars, but
also the Festival of Speed. The 911 is a fantastic shape that can’t
be deconstructed or embellished, so in this context, the sculpture
had to provide the right platform for the car to soar up and shine
in the sky.”
“The concept was that each car is shooting into the sky, sup-
porting one another, racing each other, captured in a perfect
moment. Like the cars it displays, the sculpture is superbly
engineered, lightweight and reflective of the Porsche 911 itself:
simple, pure and built for the job.” •

Just in time to coincide with our story on the ONDR,
Car Tech has released their book about the golden age of
drag racing in paperback
Featuring a forward by the legendary John Force. There
was a time in drag racing when creativity ran rampant, and
innovation was the name of the game. Every class had its
own rules, every car had its own look, every team had its
own agenda, and every driver had his own style.
From the 1960s through the 1970s, the sport grew and
changed dramatically, and it all happened in front of Bob
McClurg’s camera.
McClurg is an accomplished magazine writer and
photographer, but he’s best known for his drag racing
images of the 1960s and 1970s. His lens captured all of the
exciting action of the Roadsters, Gassers, Altereds, Top
Fuel, Funny Cars, Pro Stocks, and even the modern age of
nostalgia drag racing.
Follow each of the classes as they evolve, each year
bringing more speed and lower elapsed times. Follow
the exciting careers of “Big Daddy” Don Garlits, Don
“the Snake” Prudhomme, “TV Tommy” Ivo, “Big John”
Mazmanian, and many more.
Now available in paperback for the first time, McClurg’s
best drag racing photos are brought together in one
volume—a book that is a necessary addition to any drag
racing fan’s library.•

M
axim Lemoine, 21, likes to ride
BMX bikes and skateboards.
Like any other young man his
age looking to find his identity in this
world of high expectations, he might not
care now, but these days he’s a big deal.
As 2012 Drift Mania (DMCC) Pro-Am
Champ, Maxim is well on his way to
having a successful 2013 PRO season.
He would probably like you to know that
he is still the same kid who likes to ride
bikes and go around with a huge smile on
his face. Lately, he’s taken to having his
hair cut in a mullet, to which his English-
speaking friends stated, “Business in the
front/Party in the back,” just like his
Chevy S10 pickup truck.
Pickup trucks have always been man’s
best vehicular companion. Everyone knows
how useful and how enjoyable it can be
to drive a pickup and customize it to suit
particular needs. From lifted monster
trucks to slammed-down mini-trucks,
pickups have saved some of the automakers
from going completely bankrupt. As the
most accessorized vehicles out there today,
they keep our performance aftermarket
industry thriving.
A product of great parenting, Maxim’s
parents took him to racing events such as
drag racing, mud drags, stock car racing,
Grand Prix Trois-Rivieres, and boat racing
at Valleyfield Regatta. All of which had
shaped the young man to become a tire-
slayer at just 21 years old.
Although not a competitive extreme
sportsman, Maxim is an avid skateboarder
and BMX rider, all of which give him
an adrenaline-fed natural instinct for
winning. In 2012, he captured the DMCC
Pro-Am Championship title, and at this
time of writing, he is the current points
Story & Photos by Jover Papag • Action Photos by Jeremy Alan Glover
MAX

BusIness in the Front-Party in the Back

leader in the Pro DMCC Championship.
Impressing peers and fans alike, he
cites Patrick Cyr as a great influence to
his program, the two competitors are
#teamfriendship, often seen hanging out
and sharing laughs both in and outside
the racetrack. The senior Pat Cyr found
instant rapport and took well to the then-
unknown Maxim Lemoine in 2011 when
Max had cut his teeth in competition and
took several podiums on his run to a Pro-
Am championship.
Why would anyone ever decide to use
a pickup truck as a competition vehicle?
To Maxim, he didn’t really have a choice
at the time, as this Chevy S10 was his
only automobile. Early on, he worked in a
cramped garage with barely enough room
to work on one side at a time. Through
hard work and perseverance he earned
enough money by working at a speed shop
in Quebec City where he hashed out a plan
to put in the best motor available – a LSX
454 from GM Performance. For those who
don’t know, this is essentially a modern
21st century 454, utilizing a tall-deck LSX
Bowtie Block and occupying the same
space of a LS motor. With a forged rotating
assembly and six bolt heads that hold down
over 600 ponies, you cannot miss hearing
this engine. The custom 5-inch exhaust
terminates right behind the cab just below
ear-level. To say this truck is loud is like
saying all the heavy metal bands in the
world playing at the same time with like
600 amplifiers in the same venue would be
loud. To those who are easily afraid, we like
to say, – hide your kids and cover their ears.
What you don’t see is the development
that Maxim and his best pal, JP have
put into the fabrication of this seriously
competitive S10 Pickup. From the custom
fabricated dashboard with AutoMeter
gauges, fuse panel and switches, to the roll
cage and the custom-welded frame, this
truck is a monster on its own. Putting
the power to the pavement is achieved
with QA1 Proma Star coilovers from
strengthened and boxed suspension pickup
points. When more traction is needed,
Maxim uses weights to ballast the rear

SPECIAL THANKS:
KSK Drift Team, Family and Friends especially:
JP, Matjul, ced, Camille, Oliwood and Pakbo
suspension for more traction. Contrary to what most people
think, drifting is as much traction as it is losing traction. You
must go sideways, but you must also propel forward and leave
your competitor in a huge plume of tire smoke to win. This
humble truck subtly hides a few secrets up its sleeve and often
leaves losing competitors in its wake, wondering where they can
gain on Maxim and his trusty Chevy.
For every normal enthusiast, there’s always a rare outlier
– someone who has to go completely against the grain. For
Drift Mania Drifting Championship (DMCC) driver, Maxim
Lemoine, he couldn’t have picked a better ride. In a sea of
imports – some of which are running modern domestic V8
power, Maxim’s truck definitely sticks out and makes a bold
statement, while obliterating rubber in a very dramatic way.
Really, what’s not to like? •
Bro, do you even lift?

Story by Bob McJannett • Photos: Jim Madigan
_ONDR
If you have been around drag racing in
Southern Ontario for a while, you
experienced it during what is now referred
to as the golden years. Years when, if you
went to the track, you never knew just
what you might see. No matter if you were
at Cayuga, St. Thomas, or Niagara, the
numbers and types of cars were amazing.
Racers from that era built their cars
to suit themselves, as well as the rule
book. Those were the days before big
money sponsors and cloned cars. In those
days, all cars did not look alike, with the
only difference being the colour and the
lettering. NHRA referred to that era as
“Ingenuity in Action.”
If those days appeal to you, you can relive
them right here at St. Thomas Raceway in
Sparta, Ontario. St. Thomas was opened
over 50 years ago by Bob and Helen
Harvey and was for years run by the family.
Unfortunately, the Harveys have passed
away, but the track is still operating.
There have been a few name changes
originally St. Thomas Dragway then
London Motorsports Park, and now St.
Thomas Raceway, but the venue remains
one of the nicest places to see races. The
track features pits with grass, trees and a
wonderful family attitude, plus good food
at the concessions. Racing today closely
matches those days in the 60s especially
when the ONDR show is in town.

The ONDR (Ontario Nostalgia Drag
Racers) was started in 2002 by Rick
Proctor who, while sitting in the stands at
St. Thomas, wondered why all the old style
cars in the area were running against all
the new cars. Rick felt there were enough
cars from 1974 back that would make a
fun oriented nostalgia drag club. Shortly
after that, the ONDR was born. Rules
were created and classes set.
However, the first and most important
rule was to have fun. Eleven years later,
there are 300+ members all having fun,
while reliving the golden days of drag
racing.
Look over Jim Madigan’s photos from
their last event at St. Thomas and check
the web site for their next outing. What a
fun variety of cars, who says you can’t go
back? •
For more info on Rick Proctor and the
ONDR visit: www.fastpast.ca.

For the last 33 years, the Antique and
Classic Boat Society - Toronto has held
one of the largest boat shows in Canada.
Each year, there is a feature boat builder
with as many of that particular genre on
display as possible. Over time famous
builders such as Ditchburn, Greavette,
Seabird, Chris Craft, and many others
have all been recognized.
For the last 21 years, the show has been
held at the Muskoka Wharf in scenic
Gravenhurst, Ontario. This is home
port for the Muskoka Steamship Fleet
consisting of the RMS Segwun, the SS
Wenonah ll and the SS Wanda lll.
This year’s event, held on July 6 took
a different turn, billed as “The Greatest
Race Boat Show in Canadian History.”
The 2013 event featured a wide variety
of racing water craft. Everything from
genuine antique wooden racers, to modern
fibreglass versions with a nice mix of
unlimited hydroplanes and sea fleas were
all on display.
The docks were filled with all types
of speed boats with a great turnout of
“Gentlemans Racers.” Certainly one of the
highlights was the freshly restored 64-year-
old Miss Canada lV, the varnish was barely
dry when it hit the water. Miss Canada
lV is powered by a 3,000 HP Rolls Royce
Griffin engine. At 34-feett-long, we are
talking impressive.
One of the other interesting parts of
the day was to watch these great boats
demonstrating their prowess on the water
on a closed course set up in front of the
boat docks, the sounds of power would
make your heart pound.
All in all, it was a great day. Hats off to
the ACBS for putting on an amazing show.
I can’t wait till next year. •

The 42’ Team Apache, owned by Lorne Libel, was powered by not one, but two Entec 3151 blown big block engines.
One highlight of the show was the unveiling of Bob Genovese’s freshly restored 1948
Miss Canada IV Greavette, powered with a 12-cylinder Rolls Royce engine.
The greatest race boat show in Canadian history

In addition to their Friday Night cruise at East Side Mario’s
on Argentia in Mississauga, the Mississauga Classic Car Club
combine with Skyway Jack’s Restaurant for two Sunday mornings

A
fter so many journeys down the road, drivers and passengers
alike develop a unique way of communicating. Some refer to
it as The Code, which is only shared with those who know
the secret handshake, while others treat it like a trip to Vegas—what
happens in the garage, stays in the garage.
Whether broadcast at full volume or as quietly as a group of angry
mimes, a driver or passenger’s message won’t mean anything if you
can’t crack the code. We’ve eliminated the need to call in MacGyver,
interpretive dancers or the dudes from Counting Cars by creating
this handy decoder.
“I’ll be done in ten minutes.”
This is when many people discover that their loved one is a time
lord. What the speaker thinks is only ten minutes can turn out to
be hours or days. Unfortunately, those not inside the TARDIS (or
the garage or the walk-in closet) know exactly how much time has
passed and must use a bullhorn or cut the power supply to get said
time lord’s attention.
“It was on sale.”
If you have yet to understand the importance of reacting to this
statement with praise and admiration instead of suspicion, you have
a dark and lonely future ahead of you.
“It came that way.”
This sentence—usually uttered at a cruise night or other vehicle-
gawking event by a chap who claims
the Mustang engine in his Honda
Civic is stock—should not be taken as
an invitation to share your knowledge
of how a particular make and model
left the factory floor.
For some car nuts, all they have left is their belief. What you can do
is point them in the right direction if they need parts or service for
their unique-yet-stock automobile.
“It only needs a bit of work.”
If this is said while a driver is acting like a young owner of an Official
Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air
Rifle, you have a lost cause on your hands. If, by chance, you are able
to inspect the vehicle before purchase, take a magnet with you to
help determine how much of the ride’s body is still metal.
“Think of it as an investment.”
And this last statement is the one that rings true for most of us.
The time spent fixing up, souping up or simply driving around in
the cars we love is an investment that pays off. Maybe it won’t be in
copious amounts of cash, but it will be in overall enjoyment. There’s
something magical that happens when the engine purrs, the road
beckons and there’s still fuel in the tank.
Heck, if I had a nickel for every time I heard a driver proudly and
excitedly explain how he or she fixed that faulty whatchamacallit or
grinding doohickey, I’d have that beach house in Belize.
In the meantime, we can use our road-worthy common sense
whenever those “code phrases” are uttered.
Enjoy the ride•
