GILROY DEALER GEORGE HALL OPENS MODERN CYCLE STORE by Donna Griffith There are two things hindering me from giving a comprehensive report on the Grand Opening of George and Joanie Hall's Motorcycle Store. (I call it a store because it has the exclusiveness of an established and reputable shop but the refinements of store.) One is the fact I'm comparatively new to the sport of motorcycling, the other is that I'm a woman. When it comes to telling about machinery and equipment, I'm afraid I couldn't tell you what there is and what there isn 'C I do know that there is a machine shop, that it comes equipped with a mechanic and that it looks businesslike - at least as far as machine shops can look business-like. About the demonstrator motorcycles, I can tell you they have Triumphs, Monte~as and Hondas because the manul'll.cturers were thoughtful enough to put the names right on the machines. However, these hindrances turn into assets because the place and not the shiny, new motorcycles was what I noticed. Therefore I can tell all about it's appearance. Located next to the area for vie wing slides and movies from the library George has started, there are parts and accessories. There are more parts and accessories on the upstairs mezzanine. Showers and dressing rooms are conveniently provided for men and women. 0. '" .1i: ... '" = r-: 'OlI = ~ ~ lo:J :c: lo:J ...:l t.l ~ t.l Joanie's experience at interior decorating is evident. The display area is spacious, light and airy. Exposed aggregate floors complement the color scheme. Eversthing in and about the store is attractive and tasteful. The atmosphere is relaxing and comfortable. This !itore is going to give a boost to public opinion about motorcycling and is also probably going to attract more women to the sport. ELSINORE NIGHT SCRAMBLES by DOD Wallen The hot afternoon at trackside gave way to a comfortable night of racing on saturday, August 5th, undoubtedly a relief to some of the day racers who make it to Elsinore. Small Bike Experts Quite a war indeed built up here among pnly 8 to 10 riders. The first heat was won handily by T. Warren on a Bultaco Lobito that really scoot-s. Tom is now riding and working for Bultaco Western and came out to ride the 100 Bultaco and a 200 that's a mixture from 3 other Bultacos. Tom worked hard all night with tbe two bikes and won a second in the Moto. A hard man to stop in any class, but also riding a. 100 Hodaka has been and is G. Bailey who on this night won the 100 Moto. won the 200 Moto and came in third in the 500 Open Expert. Bailey's ride in the Sweepstakes will be long remembered because it looked like the 100 Hodaka could hold back the big hikes for about 3 laps; that is, until C. cargo came by like the proverbial night freight. Quite a little excitement came before the races, as it often does in the pits. B. Spier broke a throttle cable on his Horxla and had about three guys working trying to jUlYrig something that would work. which it did. enough to get Spier a thi rd in hi s Moto. The usual cast was on hand for a good night of racing in thi s class. C. Cargo won the moto on his BSA Sb noting star. Thi s bike is equipped with the C. Cargo Zip Kit. Clutch rode real steady all night, winning the sweeps also and was looking forward to Sunday's race at Ventura. J. Kato, also on a BSA, got the seeond place favors in this class, charging hard after Clutch all night, and Bailey on a 360 Greeves took third. Of interest is that distance does not seem to be a factor in motorcycling. Joe Flores, who has been up in salinas on vacation. drove four hours tbis evening to get to Elsinore for some sport. In the Open Novice class. the interesting battle for first took place between two B. Tondro's. both on Triumphs. Father and son, battled hard, a·nd the son won. Stuff And Things It was a very good ni gilt and not such a late one, in that things went along smoothly with not too many interruptions. The TropQy presentation was good, too, as one of the last trophies presented was to N. Benton who broke his ankle four weeks ago on a Triumph Cub. Norm received a special Hard Luck Tr0phy that looks like a monkey-like man, holding a steering wheel in on.e harxl, and all bandaged up.
