The cite will be home turf for Rob, a 28 -year-old Missis- sauga native. He's heading mu the AN OVERENTHUSIASTIC OC- TANE MAN, aka an unnamed Sunoco employee whose name starts with a J and a W, takes the nozzle to boss Marc Robinets head during motorsport promotion funnage at Archie's Suncoco last week Ltdy with ea impressive record of two wins, a second and a thud for the year in the Players -GM Motorsport series. Thirty-five cars will take to the track, with 40 being the maximum allowed, and a tune -trial determined "swaggered" start will dictate Rob's pule position for the start of the race. "lt's a handicap system that snakes the system more effective," explains Rob, who has been racing professionally for three years now. Although he'll reach speeds of around 135 to 150 miles per hour in his Camaro, Rob hopes that 1991 will sec him qualifying to race in a vehicle like the 1990 Reynard, his brother Ron's car which was also on show at Archie's Sunoco last Friday. Ron Fellows is down in the States at present, racing Trans Ams. But moving up to the Reynards, a racing hopeful's dream, takes time and skill. "You need at least two or three- years of racing," explains Rob, and a bit of greenback doesn't hurt, either. Sponsorships, such as Sunoco's, carry much of the cost burden but until a racer is es- tablished, big dollars are involved. "Money dictates what happens in racing," Rob agrees. "I spent about $60,000 of my own money in my first year of racing." ONLY HE CAN SIT ON THIS CAR - Rob Fellows, race car driver and a strong contendor for this weekend's Molson Indy race in Toronto, was in Seaforth last Friday as part of a 50 -stop Sunoco promotion tour across Ontario. Rob brought two of his cars with him to Archie's, including the Z28 which Danny O'Reilly is taking a gander at, and spent the afternoon meeting and greeting Seaforth motors ' • rt enthusiasts.

Nico Peters considering PC nomination BY NEIL CORBETT While the Huron County Provin- cial Progressive Conservatives expect to have three or four nominees run for the party can- didacy, so far no one has put his or her name in. But past candidate Nico Peters says he is giving it serious consideration. Peters is an ordained minister of the Christian Reformed Church, a cash crop and poultry farmer on RR 4 Seaforth, and the Southwestern Ontario regional president of the Heart and Stroke Foundation. He says he sees an opportunity in the pending retirement of Liberal MPP Jack Riddell. "This area does not unseat an incumbent easily," says Peters. He adds that Huron County re-elects politicians who are doing their job. He says Ontario Premier David Peterson showed what he thinks of Ontario agriculture when he ousted Riddell from his cabinet while he was out of province last summer. "You're not called to a telephone booth at a conference and dropped from the cabinet," says Peters, adding that Riddell received no explanation for his dismissal. "That's a slap in the face to rural Ontario." Peters says that majority governments do not make for heal- thy government, and "the last thing the Liberals need is another person in an overbloated caucus," says Peters. Peters is a familiar face in Huron County politics, having run against Riddell in 1987. WHYTE EROS. FARMS 444.

R.R. 2 - SEAFORTH 527-1143 NDP to take a 'no -sin' Green election stance The next provincial election may see environmentally friendly cam- paigning practices, and no more of those lawn signs. The Huron New Democratic Party has issued a challenge to the other political parties in the county to agree not to use campaign signs. Huron NDP president Heather Klopp wrote the presidents of the other parties asking for agreement that candidate signs not be used. "If we can all agree not to use the signs we can reduce the waste of materials used to make the signs and the visual pollution of our highways," she wrote. The NDP says that if the party has not heard a response before Friday, July 27 "We will assume you are not interested in this idea and will have to consider other sign alternatives." Klopp says limiting campaign expenses would be a nice outcome of a sign -free campaign, but the primary reason is to save the en- vironment. The NDP will be holding its nomination meeting to select a party candidate Aug. 1 at 7:30 p.m. at Central Huron Secondary School in Clinton. Nominations for the candidacy will be taken from the floor on the night of voting. Party members must have been members in good standing for 30 days prior to the meeting to vote for a nominee. Election planning chairman Tony McQuail says he expects an elec- tion soon. "Certainly all the indications are for this fall, the way the government is giving out money," says McQuail, quoting announced school board capital grants and interest rate rebates for fanners. "We're going to be ready, and we're going into this election with a nest egg."
