Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Speed fanatic: Dan Gavigan takes off in his supercart, a 240-pound vehicle that can accelerate from 0 to 100 miles an hour in nine seconds. A lot of people think we're nuts, getting into such a small machine that goes so fast and has no roll bar or seat belt - but they handle well, he says.
