The Great Race The race of the century, and it was held right here at Lakehead! On the bright and sunny Oct. 16 afternoon, 7 racing teams were lined up at the start, ready and waiting. Count down, and then off!! Across the road and down the sidewalk. Oooppsss!!! Yes, you were supposed to go down the ramp, not over the railing; a slight casualty but the race goes on. Up the stairs, change runners and hurry to the finish line. It was a close encounter with the transit bus (acts of God even happen in shopping cart races) so Degree IV takes the lead and keeps it to the finish. Racing in The Great Shopping Cart Race were none other than Big Jim Slade with his harum. Snoopy and (Yes) the Red Baron, one other Degree II team and one entry each from Degree I, Tech II, Degree III and Degree IV. Many thanks to SAFEWAY STORES for supplying the racing vehicles and to Bill Wiltshire for delivering them to L.U. and back. Construction is already underway on a multi-million dollar track for the 1981 Summer Games so don ' t forget to tune up your cart. RESULTS: Neely, Pawson, Ward McCormack, Essau, Stevens Kutz, Feunekes, Grant Nesbitt, Dillabough, Graham Day, Anderson, Doyle Wiltshire, Beresnevicius, MacPherson Bush, O ' Reilly, Czempinski
