Feeding motocross spectators, riders a big job
Feeding over 500 motocross rid
ers and their families is a major
undertaking which the Brussels
Optimist Club has decided to take
on this year.
The Trangs Can National Moto
cross Championship, scheduled for
Aug. 18 to 2L is in its fourth year
of being held at the Chris and Judy
Lee farm near Walton.
With thousands of meals needed
for the four-day event, the Opti
mists plan a cafeteria-style food
concession.
Breakfast will be available on
Friday, Saturday and Sunday mom-
Award commemorates racer
For those involved in motocross
and for those who just love to
watch, the presentation of the Rick
Joseph Memorial Award will
remind them of a young man who
loved the sport.
Rick Joseph was a modest young
racer whose natural talent and per
sonal dedication to the sport were
obvious. His drive to succeed had
allowed him to achieve a personal
goal in his last competition. He
earned a motocross win at the
Florida Mini-Olympics.
The award is made possible by
Rick's parents, Ellie and Richard
Joseph, who remain strong support
ers and great competitors in
motocross. Mrs. Joseph competes
in the ladies division while her hus
band takes part in the old timers
class.
The award, a combination of
cash and plaque, is given to the
intermediate rider who best dis
plays the qualities of sportsmanship
and dedication to the sport. The
young racers will be observed
throughout the weekend, by a panel
of evaluators.
Vintage machines race
A special challenge event has
been organized for the enjoyment
of racing fans.
Dan "Dangerous" Davidson has
put together a Vintage Can/Am
challenge, scheduled for Sunday.
Riders from Michigan and New
York will race against any CMC
Canadian rider on a vintage
machine.
There will be two classes; 1974
and before and 1975 to 1980.
Information can be obtained by
contacting Mr. Davidson at (416)
450-5157.
Last year's recipient was Jeff
Sykes
The special award, with cash val
ues of $150, $100 and $50, will be
presented in Rick's memory, at the
Trans Can National Motocross

Don Sholdicc of the Brussels

day, there should be 20 to 25 peo
ple working behind the counter so
we can put the food out as quickly
as the orders come."
Along with the meals, snack

tomers," says Mr. Sholdicc.
