TOM TAYLER, director of the Mt. Prospect Park District, said the park has only has had a few bleachers for limited seating during local Softball games. But. he said, the agreement between the team and park district calls for erecting bleachers that can accommodate up to 3,000 spectators for the Storm. "We'd like to think we'll get crowds that large," said Knudtson.

"and we'll certainly add more seating if they get bigger." The Storm played its games last year in SoutlUvest suburban Bridgeview's Windy City Softball Complex, a permanent facility with seating for 3,000, parking lot, and permanent reslrooms and refreshment stands. Knudtson said he was disappointed with the following of his team last year at Windy City. He said he felt more interest could be generated by locating it in Mt.

and old tire By Mike Conklin WHEN LOU KNL'DTSON plaveii football for Cop College in Iowa nearly 20 years ago, he gained a reputation as a lineman who played dangerously. As owner of the Chicago Storm, Knudt'-on apparently still is working on that billing. With the season opener less than 90 days away, 'Knudson says he's ready to tackle another year of pro Softball in the Chicago area with no manager, a few no training plans, no schedule, and no What he does have, Knudfson announced Tuesday, is a new suburban site which he thinks will help build interest in the Storm, -an underwhelming favorite with 'Chicagoans everywhere last summer.

This was just short of Ihe fastest lap ever at Kyalami, 1:15.2, set by John Watson in a Brabham-Alfa last year.

But it was under the 1:15.95 that won James Hunt the pole position in his McLaren last year. Ferrari team leader Carlos Reutemann concentrated his efforts on a new Ferrari 312T3 chassis and was unable to get within two seconds of Villeneuve time. Ex-Ferrari team leader and current world champion Niki Lauda of Austria was the closest to Villeneuve's time, hitting 1:15.74 with his Brabham-Alfa BT45.
