Craig Searl has a hobby that is quite unique, he restores cars. Craig first became interested in restoring cars after watching his dad restore a '66 Corvette. Although it's hard work, wan- ting to see the end product of the car and having compliments about how it looks keeps him motivated. Craig is fairly new at remodel- ing. His '65 Mustang Fastback was the first, and even though there will probably be more, he doesn't want to make a career our of restoring cars. Craig's advice is before start- ing, pick a car that you like and that is in your price range. Also have a general knowledge of the kind of car you want .

His training varies depending on the season. In the winter he trains with weights and in Feburary he usually gets out his bike and rides 20-40 miles a day. J im has been interested in cycling for quite a while, but didn't get truly serious about it until his sopho- more year. Bicycle racing is a very exciting and colorful sport which is very time consuming and very expensive. Believe it or not it is considered one of the most dangerous sports in the world, he told LIS. Every racer has special requirements they have to meet before they can race. They have to purchase a license from the United States Cycling Federa- tion, their bicycle must pass safety inspections, and they are required to wear a hard shell helmet. It also helps to have a very light bike. One challenging race that jim competes in is the Criterium. A criterium is a race which usually takes place on a course 112 mile to 1 mile long. Included in this course are several 90 degree corners. This is what make the criterium so dangerous. The length of the race varies from competition to com- petition. jim participated in races at Moline, Muscatine, Walnut, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waterloo and several other places. He rode away with places of Sth, 11th, and 15th. Jim seems to have mastered this sport although it's a challenge. He advises that if you ever get the chance to see a race, don't pass it up. 137
