This week there was a bike there to chal1engeh1m. WUlle Anderson, a San Diego County Probation Officer, bought a 125cc Yamaha Enduro and the old master-tuner, Earl Roloff, Sr. rebuilt it on a Van Tech frame and 12 year old Earl, Jr. rode it, but we'llhave to wait to see how it will do against Vesco's twin as Don and his entire crew have gone to Bonneville for the speed trials. There were not enough 125cc Expert entries to make UP a class, so little Earl had to run in the 200cc division which he won ·handily.
