Nov. 2, 1969 - On Sunday the Port Stockton Motorcycle Club presented their near-perfect High Sierra Enduro. This amazing accomplishment was pulled off in a very small town full of bills, with absolutely no raliroad, yet called Raliroad Flat. OVer 500 riders sbowed up to match wits with the beautiful Mother Lode terraln and a large assoriment of clocks. Under blue skies and 80 degree tem. peratures, four riders per minute started at 8:01 a.m. over the 85 mile course consisting of 75% smooth fire roads, two very rough uphill sections, several low river crossings, and a wide variety of large rocks.

Nov. 7, 1969 - A large spectator crowd witnessed the Altamont Motocross Friday nigbt as about 90 riders warred for glory. 11 was doubtful whether the spectators were watching the sky or the races, as the sky was covered with threatening black clOUds. The evening turned out to be a success thougb dry, with good racing. The 0-125 class turned out to be a good · : chase. A rapid, fellow named Marchand led the race for 7 laps on his Yamaha, but tina1ly gave way to Steve Foster, who was riding a Sachs, for the win. John Andersen from Davis, Calif. came In on a Penton for a second and Howard Hendry, also on a Penton, look third. The Jr. & Sr. combined always makes for an interesting race and that's just what It was, with Gary Newman from Walnut Creek riding his C- Z to victory. The OPen Jr.-Sr. event was the main show of the evening with the fast Ed Edgyed, from San Jose on a Mateo, showing the rest bow to hang onto that J •• I ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• : WATERPROOF AIR FILTERS wi th "FILTRON" FOR Maico $19.95 Bultaco Kawasaki Hodaka - CARBURETOR: COVER : YAMAHA : DT·l : AT·l: CT·l: AMAL : CHAMBER M FFLER 9.95 I" stinger IX" stinger • 2771 El Camino, Redwood City, Cali!. 94061, .....

On a clear day, with a telescope, one can see the cars c1"lOSsing San Francisco Bay Bridge some 120 miles away. (There's not mucb air pollution in Northern California.) Althougb no time was allowed for a lunch cbeck, there was a gas cbeckabout 40 miles from the start, which required crossing a major highway. Naturally, the California Highway Patrol and the Calaveras County Sheriff Department was there in full force. However, contrary to public opinion, the law was all smiles and helped alleviate major traffic problems. The course itself was very well marked, a bit dusty in some areas, but basically perfect. This year's High Sierra Enduro was probably one of the largest spectator enduros ever held. Behind every tree and bush and most turns, lurked bundreds of uns!'.aven hunters with large guns and bright 6range vests. Although there were some reports of hunters changing course markers, this is the first time I've never gotten lost on an enduro. The only compla1nt, and a minor one at that, came at the 5th and final check point. The enduro started at RaIlroad Flat and finisbed some two miles from the pits. This was an inconvenient for the wives and friends picking up riders, to say the least, because of probably the first traffic jam In the history of Raliroad Flat.. Altogether, the High Sierra Enduro was a tremendous success and the Port Stockton Motorcycle Club sbould be congratulated for pul±!ng on a great sbow.
