TRINITY TRAILSTERS TOSS ROUGH ONE By Tom Dilli ng Hosts of the Bigfoot Enduro, the Trinity Trallsters M.C . of W1ll0w Cr eek, Calif. held a rough s crambles March24. A group of trophy see ker s (rom the Eureka-Arcata area were on hand to see how many of the trophies they could take back down the mountain. The course was laid out twisting around the parking lot of the cl ub-own ed T.T. track, then up a steep rocky secti on, alo ng a narrow , ridge, an d back down to a jump tha t had so me of the racer s r eally airborne. The jump was near the gentleman's sanitar y fac ility an d for some reason seeme d comforti ng as you sail ed ove r the jump. After the jump was a long sweeper that had so me of the racer s showtng off thei r fla t-tracking style . Then ba ck Into the sho r t turns of the pa rking lot. Due to the la r ge amount of entries In the 0- 125 class three qualifying heats were r un wtth the top four of eac h transfe rring to the Main. All classes were then run off In three heats of seven laps each. The wtnner of the 0-125 class vias Burn t Ranc h resident B1lly Huett.

The 250 " A" cla s s had some of the best racing of the day as Billy Law and Robin Foley spent 21 laps trying to ge t by one an other. These two were partners In the Fa r West M.C. Endurance race a couple of weeks ago. But dur ing this goaround they didn't even look li ke mild ac quaintance s . The fi nal tall y showed Robin with two fi rsts and Bill wtth one . Law used a Greeves a nd Foley his Honda. The Open Class came up wtth an other battle betwee n two Expert rated riders, Lou Br ero a nd Gordon Kuhnle .

Due to the extreme hea t they have decided to r un events In the cool , cool, cool of the evening. It's going to work out great, too. Go to Willow Cre k Saturday evening, do a 11 tti e racing, stay al l night, play a lIttie golf on tha t grea t nine -holer and spend the rest of Sunday me ssing around a nd dr iving home.
