What is "AYR"? </div></div> Ayr's a small Southern Ontario town, click here... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ayr,_Ontario Besides a few Movies being shot there, Ayr may be more well known now as the town where the GM Dealer County Garage was located and a young man named Al Stager ordered/took delivery of what later became Ryan's '69 W31 Post!

an Ayr is also a small town on highway 97 just east of Galt, now called Cambridge. The street racers that cruised King St. in Kitchener and met at Tim Horton's coffee shop on Ottawa St. raced on #97 outside Ayr but mostly on Wellington St. I remember a very hot W30 '70 442 that was around but not Ryan's W31. The W30
Raced at Cayuga in the early '80s and was sponsored by Bennett's Chev/Olds in Cambridge. I never raced #97 but watched several races, I was a Wellington St. racer. The last time I drove my high school car, an SC/360 clone, was on Wellington St. at about 2.30 am racing a very hot black Duster with a 340 and 456 gears. I could keep up but the gear got him away first and I could not get past his back bumper....The best part was getting a ride back to Tim's in a '69 Black 69 El Camino SS 396 bench seat 4 speed. The 360 poked a hole in the block in 3rd gear, and was never fixed. |
