Clinton News-Record, 1987-05-27, Page 441 ATV racers take to the track For the fourth year running, CRC Pro- ductions will be bringing their All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) racing organization exper- tise to the fair. Aside from organizing the races at the Hully Gully track, CRC is responisble for organizing races for about six different fairs per year. Chuck Collins, President of CRC, is ex- pecting this year's racing to be a crowd pleaser. "It will be pretty fast paced ac- tion," he said. Anywhere from 45 to 70 racers are ex- pected to take part in the races. Mr. Col- lins expects some will be coming from the United States, along with local riders from Lucknow, Mitchell, and Clinton. Some of the local racers will include Paul Farquhar, Curtis McCone, Steve Taylor, Rob Thompson and Jason Hayter. Approximately 12 different classes will be taking part in the races. Of these dozen classes, six will be modified or suped up machines, five are expected to be stock classes and one will be for beginners. Different races will be run within the classes according to engine size. The sizes will include 200, 250, 350 and 500 races. Before the races can get underway, the people from CRC will be busy setting up the track. After six truck loads of dirt are dropped off, Mr. Collins said it will take from two to two and a half hours to get the track set up. The dirt is dumped and molded on the racetrack at the Clinton Community Park. Once it is completed it will cover the straightaway in front of the grandstand, and carry a bit past the grandstand at each end. To challenge the riders, and provide the spectators with some entertainment, Mr. Collins explained the truckloads of dirt will be formed into, "about four jumps, a few stutter bumps, some woop-de-does, and straightaways and corners." The winners in the stock races will take home trophies, and those that win in the modified categories race for 100 per cent payback. In last year's races, Mr. Collins won all three mod classes. Other local riders who did well included Jeff Chuter, Steve Taylor and Paul Farquhar. The riders will be taking to the track for their practice sessions at 6 p.m. on the se- cond night of the fair, June 6. The races will follow at 7 p.m. WELCOME TO THE CLINTON SPRING FAIR McCREA NOVELTIES VISIT OUR BOOTHS for a FREE L— HAUGH TIRE AND MUFFLER SUPPLY 1T0.
