Bill Wonder

There is something about racing which gets into the blood more thoroughly than a good dose of Castrol R and those people who cannot do without it are an inspiration to all of us who secretly harbor Walter Mitty fantasies about outduking Michael Schumacher into the Karussel at the Nürburgring or outbraking Jackie Stewart into Moss Corner at Mosport. Such a person is Bill Wonder, who has been smitten with racing for six decades starting with his first race, the 1953 edition of the Twelve Hours of Sebring where he finished 14^thoverall, partnered with his friend, Bill Wellenberg in an MGTD. Bill went on to fly commercially with various airlines but never lost his interest in racing. John Wright spoke with Canadian racer about his six decade long racing career.

So, Bill tell me how you got started in road racing. That’s always the inevitable starting point.
