He thought too that often it was difficult for riders to find just where the Inspection was being held. Discus s ion followed but no a ction was taken as several s crambles-throwing cl ubs including Nobl e (Orange County) and Ham (Spor tsmen) reported they had never had any difficul ty with com plying with the rule of holding an inspection . Several mi nor subjects were dis cu s s ed includin g that of keeping the desert clean. Trash Is always a problem and not everyone seems to be r esponsible enough to pick up after themselves. As VicePresident Lynn Wineland poin ted out, " Keep our desert clean, It' s the only one we have."

In desert events It's up to the discretion of the host club as to whether they end the whole race when the winner comes through. To make sure riders aren't lax , about sending for District numbers when they know they are going to r ide District events , Ros s (Greyhounds) suggested that the rule of making pie plate riders ride Exper t be enforced.
