This com ing Sat urday, June 29 Is the
Grlp sters night race a t Elsinore, and
they have taken one s tep torward In promoting membe r ship In District clubs, U
you can s how a valid membership card
In one ot our clubs your en try tee will be
$1. 50 Instea d ot the usual $2.0 0. It will
cost the m a little money but It will sure
make those ot us who work to uphold our
s por t teel pretty goodl Congratulations,
Grlpsters.
You've pr obably noticed the genUe
needling the Stumpjumpers have been
giving J im Hunter over a tte nding thei r
Saturday night run In J uly In the Cale ndar ot Events (Jim just doesn' t like
Elsinore, period), so we checked with
hi m tor an oUicial statement on whether
he will r ide either race. James E. repli ed, UNo , I think I'll stay home or rlde Perris: These are point runs and John
R. needs the points real bad . I don't
want to have to beat him. They migh t tak e
his r ide away It this goes on." Next
wee k we' ll print John R's reply (It we
can t),

Before we change the s ubje ct alloge ther ,- by now It Is a matter ot public
record that the Gr lps ter s and Tom Paschal who owns Elsinor e are being sued
tor a halt-a-million dollars each by a
chap who was Injured there last october
at the ir last night point run. This was
the crash where John Rice broke his hip
and this man broke a leg. As this case
develops we'll keep you W ormed as to
what happens as this type of s uit could
attect all ot us an d scrambles In general.
Other news on the scrambles scene, for
the guys who have been holler ing so Ioud-'
1y abo ut the lightweight point s ys tem and
the polllts received by the Powder Putt class ~ lI'o avoid any triction the Assoclation went to the Competition CommIttee
and asked tor a new standard tor paying
points. From now on they will be paid
points trom the t1rst column which will
lo wer the number ot poi nts they receive
each r ide as they will no longer be class ed In with the toial number of 100 NovIces •. As Dick Kouns , Llghtwe!~ht Steward, pointed out this also lllwer s the
number ot points tlie 100cc
riders
receive . Anyway, the point schedule has
been changed and the ladies will be paid
points like the 50cc class and to those
who sobbed so bl tterly abo ut the low
numbe r 'plates so me or the gals hlive, we
suggest that the y take a loo k at some' ot
those low numbers 50Cc riders carryl
The DIrt Diggers are going ah ead t ull
bore 'wlth plans tor their J uly Cham pionship scrambles at Corriganville (no , I
will NOT call It Hope town). This Is nota
molo-cross ei ther but a scr ambles similar to what we are all used to riding so
don't chicken out because you think you'll
end up with some thing like the Vlewt1nders Grand Prix which was a tough
