OK , here is one to laugh at. Turn 8, Mosport, 1966, Copper DKW, yours truly probably scorching the track at about 1 min 48!!! Driving attire: golf shirt and slacks. one Lap belt. CC stands for Canada Class, a 1000cc open wheel class.

My fastest lap ever in a much newer car, in 2001, was 1 min 27.9 seconds. ( About 101 m.p.h. average speed.) That is progress in handling, tires and power. I was also wearing a 3 layer Nomex suit, full face SA helmet, Nomex boots and gloves.

The second picture is my last event, in 2001, with Penni, Stephen and Tina crewing as well as Marlene, who is taking the photo. That season enabled me to say I had raced one season or more in 5 decades- 60's,70's,80's,90's,and the new millennium.
cheers,
Peter Barker
