in this photo of the 1966 Canadian High Point Champion,
Dixie CS-1
that was taken at the 1967 Nationals in Guntersville, Alabama. He's not
sure of the hull design, but it sure looks similar to a Jones conventional.

sends in this information:
Owned and driven
by Gaston Deschamps from Valleyfield. Dennis, (my father-in-law) would
venture to say that Gaston was truly the first racer in Valleyfield of
the more "recent" generation. Gaston started racing in around 1965. Russell
began racing around 1966 by in the 850 class and moved up in the 145 class
around 1969. I asked around and everybody thinks that the Dixie
no longer exists. Gaston Deschamps died about 10 years ago. (Note: Ben
