A two-time Canadian Driving Champion, Eppie Wietzes won in everything he drove, from a Sunbeam Alpine to Comstock Mustangs and GT-40s and finally to a flock of very quick Formula 5000 cars. He won back-to-back Canadian Championships in 1969 and 1970. Then headed south to star in the Continental (F5000) circuit where he did himself and his country proud.
