The 1980 season begins at Westwood on April Sth and 6th and Mahood has am- bitious plans for what is likely to be his last year in the Formula Ford class. It will be important to string together enough victories to establish his credentials for a professional Formula Atlantic ride in 1981. The key race in_ those plans will be the Canadian Stars on ice at The skaters, who range in age from three to 40, will provide a most colourful display as their costumes reflect the theme of the show. Truly a group effort, the Skaters, choreographers, technicians, costumers and organizers are all working together day and night to produce this year’s “STARS ON ICE” and looking for- ward to having one of the most successful.

National Championships at Mosport in September. The financial assistance of Pentax of Canada has ac- cordingly been stepped up from last year in anticipation of reaching this goal. One of - Mahood the ways reciprocates on his sponsor's involvement is to make himself and his car available for promotional displays — such as the Photo & Travel show at the PNE March 12th to 16th, where the race car will form the centrepicce of the Pentax booth and Andy and his crew will be on hand to discuss racing with the spectators. Together with team manager, Bruce Gold- sworthy, Mahood is already laying the groundwork for a Formula Atlantic program next year. This highly professional series for formula cars will be sup- porting three Formula One Grand Prix races in North America, and is very similar to the Formula 2 series m Europe. A winning season this year could be the key to a major racing career in the future.
