A local man, Doug McGregor of
11R2 Kippen, left early yesterday
morning for Winnipeg where he
will be one of,. 400 snowmobile
racers taking part in a gruelling
500 mile cross country race from
the Manitoba capital to St. Paul,
Minnesota.
Doug, who is a farmer, says
snowmobiling is his hobby, "an
expensive one". He's never
competed in a long cross country
race before but competes in the
O. local snowmobile circuit "just
about every weekend".
The weather in southern Mani-
toba and northern Minnesota this
time of year is not the best.
According to Doug:the tempera-
ture these days' is ' about 40
degrees below , zero. "Yo:ir
biggest problem is to keep from
'freezing."
The snowmobile racer says he's
•
gotten the warmest clothes he
. could find- "I've went more
money than I ever have in my life
on clothes" but there is no way of
telling if they'll be warm enough
until he's actually in the race. He
will be all alone on the snowmo-
bile and will meet his crew, Frank
Bruggcr of Scaforth and Marty
Martens, of Huron Tractor in
Exeter at scheduled pit stops'
every 75 miles.
The race, called, the Inter-
national SOO, is the Grand Prirof
snowmobiling. Most racers come
from the,U.S. Doug's machine, a
hand-built John Deere model, one
of only 800 made, and two other
snowmobiles from Woodstock are
the only entries that he knows
about from this area,
The race runs for three days
and the rough terrain almost
completely wrecks the snowmo-
