March 3- The Groundsbakers M.C. of Las Vegas sponsored the first European-type scrambles race ever held In SouUtern Nevada over three mUes of rugged desert terrain In the foothills of the Black Mountains south of the city. The course Included varied sections encompassing a short desert portion, a mile of rough dirt road, a steep 25-foot drop Into a half-mile of gravel wasb and three severe uPhill climbs back onto the start-finish section. In spite of the severity of the terrain, average speedS In excess of 36 mph were turned In by winners In both classes. Two, hour-long races were run, the first for 0-125cc machines and the second for 251cc and up. The little bikes provided spectators with some of the most spectacular and frequent action ever witnessed hereabouts as the 15 entrants charged hard over the powdery course. Sachs-mounted Casey Folks led all the way to capture first, followed by Tom Scales on a 125-Penton. In the big bike race thirty hot twostrokes and one Harley Sprint -chruned over the course led by Max Switzer on a 360 Greeves. Bad luck caught the leader when no other bike could, and sidelined the big Greeves with carb trouble on the last lap of the 60- minute go. Bill Hill on a 250 Greeves swept on to win, followed by Terry Griebel (360 Greeves). Bob Mikulski (250 Husqvarna) was highplaced novice. Riders and spectators agreed that the first European scrambles was a complete success and that the course was the most Interesting and chaiienging ever prepared In the Las Vegas area.
