TT Wi'" HOT Sauce
By Bill Harmer
TIJUANA, Mexico, Sept, 29, 1968 Husqvarna mounted moto- cross ace Bill
Silverthorn dominated the Exper t 250Cc
class to win handily at the latest TIjuana
Motor cycle Ass ociation's TT races held
at the Autodr omo de TIjuana. Riding for
the flr s t time as an Expert, Kawasald
pilot W
ayne Clarke sur pr is ed the field
with his ski llful racing to capture second
place In fron t of vete ran Yamaha jockey
Joe Phillip son ,
The much hoped for contest between
District 37' s John Spr ague and the Dis tr ict 38 " Bord er Bandits" falled to
ma ter1lLllze , Per haps It was jus t as well
because the only San Diego Open Expert
" Hot shoe" to make the s cene was
W
ayne HosakIL on Mike Garrett's Gold
s tar , A vital wire br oke and r obbed him
of V
ictory.
The Open class was sparsely attended
and Novlc:es r an with the Experts, By
running second In the fl r s t two motos and
winning the third , Novice Bultaco pilot
Tim Leque capt ured top point honors,
Rich Rlbley, who won the first moto on
Mike Garrett's Nor ton, received second
place honors,
SILl Peluso who promtses to take over
the lead In the IOOcc Novice standings
now that Earl Roloff and Wayne Clarke
have been advanced to Expert status,
rode his yellow and black Yamaha to an
Impressive second position behind Roloff,
Ray Vanderpool after re-Injurlng his
knee In a hay bILle smashing crash during
D
practice had dlfflculty slttlng his Yamaha
and felt fortunate to get a third In the
hotly-contested Elqlert event,
In Mexico, It Is O.K. for a rider to
enter more than one class with the same
bike, which caused a slightly amusing
occurence. A man was complaining to
the judges that he didn't think It fair that
his son , who had a 125cc machine, was
forc ed to r ace with the much bigger
200cc bikes, Imagine the look on his face
when he was told that the first three
finishers were riding motorcycles of less
than IO
Occl Nothing more was said about
the poor little 125cc bike,
