Sell Wins, Kroll Leaves St Louis With Point Lead - August 3, 1986

August 3, 1986
Horst Kroll
Horst Kroll of Toronto, with his second place finish at the SCCA Can-Am race in St Louis, was heading home for the season finally at Mosport, with the point lead.

Lou Sell sat on the pole and lead from start to finish. Bill Tempero with a 5th place finish, now sat second in the standings, and was clearly the man Kroll needed to beat at Mosport.

After narrowly missing the championship the season before, Horst purchased one of the former Canadian Tire Frissbees driven to the 1983 Can-Am Championship by Jacques Villeneuve Sr. With a strong backup car, Kroll approach the 1986 season much more aggressively than ever before. Anything other than a title, and the 1986 season would be a huge disappointment.
