Lacfl women runs
for fun end fitness
BY PATRICK RAFTiS
Lynn Devereaux puts more miles on her
feet in a day, than many people put on their
automobiles. Ever since the Seaforth woman
started running, for fitness reasons 13 years
ago, she has made a daily six mile (10
kilometre) run part of her early morning
routine.
Though she runs mainly to keep in shape,
her training has also, helped to satisfy her
competitive instincts. She has participated in
10 kilometer runs in London, Southampton,
W indsor, Sarnia, Kitchener and Goderich
and once entered a 12.5 kilometer (half a
marathon) run in ,Toronto.
In the Goderich run, which she enters
roughly every second year, she has been
extremely successful, winning the Women's
Open division a total of five times, She placed
first in the event the past two years, this year
recording a time of 41 minutes, 29 seconds in
the 10 kilometer jaunt.
"'usually push myself in a race. It's nice to
win," said Mrs. Devereaux, amother of three
children who works as a receptionist in her
husband's chiropractic office.
Combining.a part-time job, with the care of
children ages six, four and two -years -old,
requires a certain degree of determination.
For Mrs. Devereaux it means getting up for a
6:30 a.m. run spring to fall and jogging on her
lunch hour during the winter.
"Sometimes, it's hard to get out of bed
(that early)," she admits. "But once I'm up,
it's great. I love to get out in the morning. It's
sopeaceful out then and there's hardly any
traffic."
While she trains harder when preparing for
a race, Mrs. Devereaux says she does not
concern herself with bettering her time

Novice rider ranked third in Ontario
BY ROD BLTS
The all -terrain vehicle (ATV) racers who
occupy the Number 1 and Number 2 rankings
in Ontario had better not look back. There's a
new rider in the field, a rider that promises to
give them a run for their money.
Doug Wolfe of RR 1 Bornholm is currently
ranked third in Ontario in the ATV point
standings. The 17 -year-old racer has only
been orr the racing circuit since April, but
you'd never know it. in eight races, he has
compiled 74 points. Only Jim Dickenson of
Courtland and Bob Brulotte of Dorchester
have more points.
Like many ATV enthusiasts, Doug got
involved with the sport through his interest in
motorcycles.
"I've always been involved with bikes all
my life pretty well. I just bought one (an ATV)
in the winter time. I knew a few people that
raced so I just decided to try it and I liked it,"
Doug said.
Since the season opener on April 22 at
Hully Gully, near Varna, Doug has competed
in eight races. In those races, he has compiled
74 points. He has raced at Tillsonburg,
Ridgetown, the Listowel Fair, the Clinton
Fair and on August3l, he will race at the ATV
event planned for the Mitchell Fair.
Perhaps one oPhis biggest races will come
on. this weekend lis Fon when ATV recesA
from the United s rind Canada wi l
compete for the$2,ust-pplace prize at the
London International ATV Sugercross.
Three weeks ago, Doug picked up his first
win at Hully Gully. To date be has seven
trophies to his credit. He hda a trophy for
every time he has raced.
Doug raga in the 250 stork class and in the
250 modified class. The stock lass is strictly
for trophies but the modified class Is a
dog-eat-dog fight for the money.
I like it a lot better than stock. It's fast,
faster and easier. i use different tires," he
said.
Doug has competed (!vice in the modified
class and placed third. He won approximately
S40 — hardly enough to offset his costs, but
not bad fora rootde starting out in the sport.
He says he's really not in the sport for the
money, just for the competition and fun. Still.
he says, a sponsor would help him offset the
high costs associated with ATV racing.
t just want to get a sponsor. It's p
costly to get into IL The equipment and all
that you have to wear," he said.
Just how much does it cost to race an ATV?
Doug said that his ATV a 1085 model, cost
him $3,500. A hairnet was $200 • on sale)
Special racing boots cost about $239. The
riding pants are about $170. Doug.said each
race he spends about $20 on gas. a has two
sets of racing tires that cost him $335. Even
his racing shirt with the Yamaha logo on it
costs $40.

of racing. Doug, with the help of his friend Mike Kelis, (ravel around tho province each
weekend to race. Rod Hilts Photo
Doug said he can't afford tosbuy the boots
and the pants so he just borrows them for
now. Until he fin. ds a sponsor, enjoying his
ATV racing hobby will continue to cost hire a
lot of money.
"If you get a sponsor they pay for some of
the stuff," he said.
So far, Doug has maintained a pretty clean
record on the track • he's only had one
mishap.
"In my fust row, one of rimy tires popped a
bead, it carne off the rim and I wiped out," he
said.
When Doug's not competing at weekend
ATV races, he works at Utclaughiin's
Plymouth Chrysler, in Mitchell, apprenticing
to be a mechanic.
I just want to get better," Doug says
when questioned about his long-term goals in
ATV racing. "I want to get more experience
in every race. I want to keep moving up."
Is ATV racing worth the expense? To Doug
Wolfe it sure is.
It's worth it I think....all the trophies. But
they don't pay for all the bills I have," he
said.
