NEWS BRANTFORD-BRANT OBITUARY: Harold Brown, 1934-2014

By Susan Gamble, Brantford Expositor Wednesday, July 16, 2014

The patriarch of the Brown racing family, Harold Brown, died Sunday after a long battle with cancer.

Mr. Brown, 79, a stock car racer, was also the founder of Brown Auto Service, an Eagle Place business institution.

“He had four loves in his life,” said his brother-in-law Ken Spencer.

“They were his wife, his family, his business and motor sports.”

Known as an honest and talented mechanic, Mr. Brown built the business over the years and was followed in his work by his son, Doug Brown, and grandsons Mitch and Jake Brown.

“During the past six decades, Harold extended the life of many a vehicle with his mechanical magic,” said longtime friend Peter Ham. “And he always demonstrated a keen awareness of his client's financial status and flashed his trademark smile.”

Brown Auto Service is more of a going concern than ever these days and could “last another 50 years,” says his son. Even with his advanced years and health problems, Mr. Brown loved to be at the shop where he would greet old friends and chat to customers.

The same family members who followed Mr. Brown into business trailed after him into the world of racing, following the circuit from April to September where the four Browns gathered a team of fans and helpers.

“He had a passion for racing that he passed on to me and to my sons,” said Doug Brown.

Mr. Brown was a steady player in the game, winning his share of races and even more admirers for his calm, gentlemanly demeanour.

“He didn't let the highs be too high or the lows too low,” said his son.

“He went to his last race on June 6 and it was the night my youngest son, Jake, won his first race. It was pretty cool that he got to see that.” In business, Mr. Brown was as loyal to his customers as they were to him, often working late into the evening to ensure their happiness.

He doted on his wife of 53 years, Gloria, and they enjoyed cooking or creating crafts together. She died in May last year.

“As a young man, he was a pretty hip guy with a hot set of wheels and a mischievous grin,” said his brother-in-law.

“He spent a lot of time courting (his wife). They danced and even skated on occasion at various spots and arenas in the area.”

Through the years, Mr. Brown also supported his children in their non-racing passions, attending numerous hockey games when Doug played and frequenting and volunteering at daughter Susan's figuring skating.

Aside from his son Doug Brown (Lori) and daughter Susan Brown (Scott), Mr. Brown also leaves his grandchildren, Mitchell, Jacob, Benjamin and Aiden, and sister Joyce Teasdale.

A celebration of Mr. Brown's life will be held Thursday at 11 a.m. at Dennis Toll Funeral Home, 55 Charing Cross St. with interment to follow at Mount Hope Cemetery.

The family has asked that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in memory of Mr. Brown to the Stedman Community Hospice. [email protected]

Mitch Brown scored his third straight A-Main Feature win at Brighton Speedway on Saturday night (July 12th) in Southern Ontario Sprints action out duelling Glenn Styres of Ohsweken in the 25-lap chase around the 1/3rd-mile clay oval in the Belleville/Quinte area in Southern Ontario.

Brown started on the pole for the main event and bolted to the lead quickly over front row co-starter Paul Pekkenonen of Brockville with Styres charging up quickly from his second row starting spot to challenge the Brantford competitor for the lead.

Despite a group of restarts before the halfway point, punctuated by a red flag at lap 13 when Shawn Sliter rolled on his side in turn four, the duo broke away from the field over the final 12 laps often running nose to tail and side by side in a frantic battle for the win.

The final 12 laps ran were run without incident with Brown stretching his lead to nearly 15 car lengths before the top pair hit lapped traffic. It looked as though Styres would get his chance to make a move for the lead when a pair of lapped cars broke Brown’s momentum.

However, the Brantford, ON native held off the hard-charging Styres for the victory.

Alton, ON native Keith Dempster was third. Tecumseh, Michigan pilot Dain Naida was fourth and Brockville, ON driver Paul Pekkonen completed the top-five.

Brown, Kyle Fraser of White Lake, ON and Chris Jones of Picton, ON won the qualifying heats.

BAD LUCK PLAGUES BROWN BROTHERS AT OHSWEKEN - Friday July 11, 2014

Mitch Brown was embroiled in the chase to the checkered flag in Ohsweken Speedway's A-Main on Friday night when the nose cone on his Sprint Car was broken during the running of the 20-lap A-Main.

The shattered parts brought out the caution flag forcing him to restart at the back of the 20-car field. Despite a desperate charge to get back into contention when racing resumed he could only manage to work his way back to thirteenth spot in the finishing order -his worst finish of the 2014 season.

Jake Brown also had a bad night nearly flipping his racer when a rear tire blew in the apex of turns one and two just after Josh Shantz’s right front tire flew off in turn 4.

Brown's crew had him back on the track for the restart where he managed to bring his #1-10 Crate Engine Sprinter back to a respectable fifth-place finish.

Both brothers won their qualifying heats at the 3/8th-mile oval.

MITCH BROWN STRONG AGAIN AT OHSWEKEN Brother Jake Brown Flips - June 13, 2014

With the weekend of racing for the Brantford racing brothers starting on Friday the 13th and a full moon partially hidden by late evening clouds Mitch Brown raced to a solid second place finish in his qualifying heat then settled for a comfortable fifth place run in the 20-lap A-Main.

For brother Jake, who won the June 6th Crate Engine Sprint Car feature at the 3/8th-mile oval, the results were devastating as the youngster crashed his race car on lap four of the 15-lap chase.

The driver of the APC, Port Dover Auto Parts, Strodes Express and Brown Auto Service who started tenth was battling to get around some slower cars when he and Ohsweken's Robbie General made contact in turn 2 sending Brown's car into a wild flip and roll eventually coming to rest on its wheels. The June 6th winner was uninjured, but the same could not be said for his car.

Ryan Hunsinger of Caledonia went on to claim his second Crate Engine Sprint Car feature victory of the season.

JAKE BROWN EDGES BACK INTO STRONG RACING

FORM FOLLOWING FLIP

Jake Brown appears to have recovered from his June 13th flip in his #1-10 602 Crate Sprint Car and is determined to chase down Ryan Hunsinger and Aaron Turkey in the division's battle for the inaugural Championship season.

Since that flip which came one week after winning his first feature of the season, the teenager has motored to six top-five finishes in the next seven races up to July 28th at Ohsweken including three runs in the top-three.

It appeared he was on his way to win number 2 on July 28th but he found the high line around the 3/8th-mile oval a little too loose and dropped to third with three laps remaining.

There was little doubt he was disappointed by the results but may have learned a lesson from his lane choice.

After eleven nights of racing at Ohsweken Speedway, Jake Brown sits third in the Strickland's 602 Crate Sprints divisional standings 43 points back of leader Ryan Hunsinger and 23 behind Aaron Turkey of Ohsweken.

With just five races left in the 2014 schedule for the 602 Crate Sprint Cars, Jake will have to race aggressively but feels there's still enough time to make a serious run for the title.

Wayne Johnson Tops at Ohsweken Speedway Mitch Brown Battles Way to 8th after 14th-Place Start -July 25 2014

Jim Huppunen and Dave Dykstra led the 19-car Corr/Pak Merchandising 360 Sprint Car feature to the green flag. Dykstra grabbed the early lead off the initial start, shuffling Huppunen back to second.

Johnson grew his lead to nearly a half lap as he ran through lapped traffic in the caution-free race. Johnson set a new track record for a 20- lap 360 sprint car feature at 4:55.961 en route to the victory. Stewart used a lapped car to get by Huppunen on the final corner and steal the second spot.
