MIDWEST CD Ie ,.....-----------..-. IANOJHER NEW ONE FROM I ./ THE STREET 350'S ARE HEREl SEE THEM II e SSAGE By Fo rd Reid If the first Ohio sc r ambles of the year meant any thing, It was probabl y thatlt i s going to be a good year, if It ever warms up. Th at afternoon In Febr uar y when th e Dux Mo torcycle Club of Toledo was brave enough to Invite everyone up to the course In Michigan It was cold. 15 degr ees cold and windy. Windy enough to blow the gr ease off your hands . But people came, lots of people . 61 of them raced and put on a show about as good as any yOlt'H see in the summer. Th e Glass Ci ty Motorcycle Club I s about halfway to their goal for th e flghtthe-hel m et-law fund. Things , It l ook s to me, should be going mu ch better . These guy s are spending thei r time, and mo ney, to fight something for all of us and should be getting more support . Th e bi gges t donation so far from a club has been from the Cleveland Chapter of the Hell's Angels. T hose guys must r eal i ze what~ls happening. All of us should and we ought to get behl nd the Glass City bunch morally and flnanaclal- Getting back to the meaning of It all, It might hav e been Husqvarna. The Swedes looked good and If they can go like that all summer It's going to be tough In the 250 and 50'0 classes. !y . The new Penton Six Days looked good, too . But then you've got to remember Pentons were riding them and those guys could make a motorized baby carriage l ook gr and. To m Penton finished fir st I n th e 125 class on a 125 Penton but he was pushed by brother Jeff on a 100. The Penton bikes are designed f or enduro/moto- cross / hare s c ra m b 1e s competi tion but they still l ooked good on th e T T track. They ' r e a little high for a TT machine but they should be com petitive and give some Buls nightmares all through the warm weath er . ;*~#\I'£W FINDERS 1 ~ h I ~I b U I~ Ie ' --ETA B MOlO (2 13) ME ()-.J31 3 (7H) 535-:l6-t7 ( 213) 86 9-0600 DESERT- .-l TT SCRAMBLES 3-31-68 Lost Coyotes Hare Scrambles 3-24-68 Mesa S peedway 1st Jack Morgan 3rd Jim Jackie" 4th Bob Belt 5th Eric Jensen 7th Ed Crowell lOth Frank Morgan 1st 100cc Expert Jim Meguire 3-22-68 Trojan Speedway 1st IOOcc Senior Dale Hopkins 2nd lOOcc Senior Gary Bailey 1st IOOcc Junior Milt Hayes 2nd 100cc Junior Gary McKenzie MA Y 25 and 26, '968 Albertson's Movie Ranch T ak e Ventura Freew ay To Westl ake, T housand Oaks Turn off Go No rt h to Ran ch GATES OPEN 1:30 BOTH DAYS SUN.
