i It's Rogers At Austin Motocross By John Blanton AUSTIN, TEX. Nov. 30, 1969- Inst1ga.ted last month as a 100ec class, the "novice" competition for beg1nDers was advanced in November to 125cc to allow a wider range of machinerY. OVerall class winner was James Sloan on a KawasaJd, with a first, a second and a th1rd. He usually rides a larger bike, but JohD LougbUn, wbo quit his engineering job to race motorcycles full time, scored bis first local win in the 125cc class on an Eagle. He took three wins ahead of James Haecker (Yamaha) and Charles Eller (Yamaha). Tbe tightest racing came in the 250cc class wbere it appeared at first that Wyman Priddy (Malco) would dominate with three wins in a row. But by the th1rd heat, Robi Holbert (Ossa) found that he had a shot at second place overall- if only he could ease PriddY out of first Iii this last round. Robi led early in the race, but by the final laps he had slipped to PriddY, and he began to plan a desper- ate strategy. As the two leaders charged for tlie f1n1sh line, the crowd came to its feet. As PriddY sbut down for the rough terrain beyond the line. Holbert charged on, full tilt, past the Malco, past the finish and end over end. He was still laugbing wben they got to bim. Tbird behind PriddY and Holbert was Bill Kasson on a C Z. Four different marques filled thefirst four places in the Open Class overall results. Pat Rogers (Husqvarna) was first with three wins, followed by Ramon Dasch (CZ), Joe Rachel (Malco) and Dean Burton (BSA).

Dec. 6, 1969 Saturday was a really big night at Els1oore. A total of 53 races f1lled the night with excitement. The 200 Experts were fantastic. L. Bird and K. Tennis were fighting for first while L, Hardison was speeding up from last to first in bis last two motos. But L. Bird came in first over all, and Tennis and Hardison tied for second. The 250 Experts were also putting on a good show all night. R, Powell barreled in first on a Kawasaki. V. Hannon crossed the line second, also on a Kawasaki, ahead of B, Bertels wbo took th1rd on a Bultaco. All the men in this class tried really hard for first, and the way their heats and semis were finished, no one could tell wbo was going to win. Tbe 100 Novices were really putting on a show - everyone wanted that first place position. R, Morrison on a Ka wasaki captured first, K. Miller, also on a Kawasaki] won second, B. Hosford on a Bultaco flnished third. Tbe Powder Puffs had a Uttle competition; a m1n1bike was ridden by the Utilest Steeber in the tbird moto.
