Drag boat racin
_ picking up spee

By GUY BERTRAND
Writer

When describing the sensation of drag boat racing,
Gary Bergeron is seldom at a loss for words.

And justiliably so. Bergeron is the man’behind the
voice at drag boat racing and one of the many men
behind the scenes of the racing circuit

Incredible,"? jumps out of Bergeron’s mouth
when he talks about the sport he works for, supports
and loves.

And as one of the directors of the Drag Boat Racing
Association, Bergeron beams when the circuit brings
him tp Castlegar

it’s great here,” he says. "We're treated very well
by the city

And when the talk turns to the racing conditions in
Castlegar, Bergeron is equally enthusiastic

The river here has the best water for a race site

Good water for racers is the smoothest possible
conditions. It enables the drivers to have greater control
of their boats.

Boat racing is like drag racing on gravel,"* ex
plains Bergeron alluding to some of the problems of
controlling a machine skimming along at 180 miles an
hour

“Racing at those speeds is like running your car at

230 miles an hour,” Bergeron says.

With these machines ranging anywhere from
$20,000 to $40,000, drivers feel the pain of a crash in
their wallets as well as their bodies.

“Imagine driving your car at 60 miles an hour and
stick your head out the window,’ he says. ‘Now open
the door and step out. A crash feels something like
that.”*

Quite a risk for the racers when sometimes their
only reward is a trophy. However, things are getting bet
ter fiscally and competitively

“1 think we want to keep going in this direction,”
Bergeron says when asked about the future of the sport

I like this style where youtravel around and build up an
annualevent like here in Castlegar

Bergeron has been the voice of drag boat racing in
B.C. and Washington for five years and prior to that he
was handling one of those 1,800 horsepower nautical
jets. He also lends his vocal chords to the International
Hot Boat circuit jn California and Arizona

So when it comes to comparing B.C."s homegrown
talents with the boys from the South, Bergeron speaks
from experience:

“In Oregon and Washington Id match our racers
boat for boat,” he says.

But down in California and Arizona they have a
longer season and the competition is a little better,
Bergeron explained

“Some of the racers do head down to the World
Championships in Arizona,’ he added.

From, the early beginnings racing in Mission, the
racers are now ona eight-race circuit which covers B.C
and Washington beginning in April in Mission and win
ding up back in Mission in October

“Cities are paying us to put on the event,”
Bergeron says. And those dollars go a long way in
making the trips away from home a little easier to finan:
ce, headds

“Most of the money for these boats comes out of
the racers pocket,"’ says Bergeron. **We have some
small sponsors but no major ones.

But when it’s all said and done the voice of boat
racing still has one word for the sport that has given him
as muchas he has given it

Jays enjoy Sox roost

BOSTON (AP) — Junior Felix
drove in four runs and, along with
Nelson Liriano, fueled a four-run
fourth inning Saturday that started the
Toronto Blue Jays to a 10-2 victory
over the Boston Red Sox and their 11th
straight American League baseball vic-
tory at Fenway Park

Felix and Liriano each had two-run,
two-out singles in the fourth for a 5-2
lead. They had three hits apiece, and
Liriano had three RBIs for the Blue
Jays, who have not lost at Fenway since

tory. He was replaced at the start of the
sixth by David Wells, who pitched
three scoreless innings. Tom Henke
worked the ninth for Toronto

Boston’s Mike Boddicker, 3-5,
allowed six runs on nine hits and three
walks in 5 2-3 innings while losing to
Toronto for the sixth straight time sin-
ce 1986.

Toronto took a 1-0 lead in the
second as Moseby singled, stole
second, moved to third on an infield
out and scored on Liriano’s squeeze

sixth, three more in the eighth and one
in the ninth.

George Bell walked and McGriff

batters but walked Rance Mulliniks,
filling the bases.

right, scoring Bell and McGriff

Labatts edge way
into first place

By GUY BERTRAND
Staff Writer

When the top twWo teams of any
league meet it’s expected to be a hard
tought battle

Thursday night's Castlegar Com
mercial Fastball League showdown
between ‘tirst-place Banjos Pub and
second-place Labatts was exactly that

But when the dust settled Labatts
was sharing the top of the CCFL heap
on the strength ob its 1-0 victory. The
win gave Labatts four wins and only
one loss as the black ‘mark on its
record. Meanwhile, Banjos dropped
its second straight game as its record
tell to tour wins and three losses.

Wayne Kuzyk led off the game tor
Labats and-guickly stroked-a single
Don Savnkott then sacriticed Kuzyk
to second and Bruce MeMillan's
double gave Labatty all the offense the

would need

Labatts cherished that quick strike
in the first because Banjos pitcher Eli
Soukeroft allowed only three hits the
rest of the way

it was a story of missed oppor
tunities in the other dugout. Banjos
had the potential tying run in scoring
position in every inning but the fifth
and seventh. Labatts’ thrower, Joe
larasott managed to get the crucial
out when called upon and Pete Ev
dokimott came on in relief to get the
save

new team,"’ Langston said after his
second start following his May 25 trade
to the Expos from the Seattle
Mariners

“*T felt a little pressure coming into
this league. It’s the first time I've been
in a pennant race. I've got something
to prove."’

‘lt was a tough situation for
Langston, but after all, he led the
American League in strikeouts,’ said
Expos manager Buck Rodgers. **That
showed what he’s made of. I'm sure
we've got ourselves a pitcher.”

After Montreal scored a run in the
first on Tim Wallach’s RBI double, the
Phillies tied it in the sixth on Ricky
Jordan’s second home run of the
season

In Philadelphia's 12th inning, the
Phillies once again loaded the bases,
this time with one out. Reliever Steve
Frey got pinch-hitter Dwayne Murphy
to ground sharply to first baseman
Andres Galarraga, who fired home for
a force, then took catcher Mike Fit
zgerald’s return throw for an inning
ending double play.

GREAT DEFENCE

We had great defence tonight,””
said Rodgers, ‘‘especially by
Galarraga and Wallach.”

Wallach did his part in the seventh.
The Phillies had runners at first and
second with two outs when Chris
James hit a screaming liner down the
third base line. Wallach made a diving
catch with his body fully extended to
end the inning.

The Expos finally won the game in
the 13th to give Frey, 1-0, his first
major-league victory. Spike Owen led
off with a walk off losing pitcher Greg
Harris, 1-1. Rex Hudler ran for Owen,
but was forced at second by pinch-hit-
ter Mike Aldrete. Aldrete moved to
second on Harris’s wild pitch and went
to third when Dave Martinez grounded
out

Atter Tom Foley walked, Galarraga
grounded sharply down the third base
line. James made a diving stop, but
could not make a play as Aldrete
scored the winning run

Langston allowed only one run and
five hits in eight innings, while striking
out nine and walking two.

The Phillies’ hitting miseries con:
tinue. In Their nine Tosses, Me Phillies
have scored 21 runs, and in their last
three games, they have scored five
runs, allon solo home runs.

Fred McGriff and Lloyd Moseby
also homered for Toronto. McGriff’s
homer, his 12th, led off the sixth in.

out and none onin the ninth.

ill hopes

World Cup downhill winner said

lt makrs the first time since 1978
there will be no men’s World Cup
downhill races in North America

The last hope Canada and the U.S
had was that one of the Scandanavian
countries would be unable to provide
proof of confirmed television coverage
of one of their races

The FIS had insisted on that proot
because in 1988, with Italy’s Alberto
Tomba and Pirmin Zurbriggen of
Switzerland engaged in a battle for the
World Cup championship, the final
race of the season in Scandanavia
wasn’t covered by television

Without those guarantees, Canada
and the U.S. could have approached
the FIS with bids to hold me
downhill races.

TOUGH TALKS
Read, the Canadian Ski Association
and the United States Ski Association,
had negotiated hard to keep the races
in North Amerjca. They were rebutted
by the Eurogean majority on the
World Cup committee and the FILS.

Read said that while Europeans
recognize the importance of downhill
to the overall ski racing circuit, by
dropping North America trom next
winter’s schedule “‘they’ve turned
their back on perhaps their most
lucrative market

Read said Europeans felt Canada
and the U.S. had adequate, World Cup
exposure next fall, what with the
technical side of the schedule opening
in-North America and the women
downhill races. As well, he said
Europeans felt North America has had
more than its share of races the last two
winters.

““L think it’s partly a reaction to the
number of races in North America
because of the Olympics (in Calgary in
1988) and the world championships (In
Vail, Colo., last February),"’ said
Read

“But they forget those events should
