... .... Woodland Track Draws 201 By N.A. W1ll1ams WOODLAND, WASH. Dec. 28, 1969 • Woodland'S Winter Scrambles could have been anyone's race with a turnout of 201 riders and a large spectator crowd on a hright sunny day. The track was dry and fast. It was a little rutted after the day's races but not had for the amount of traffic on it all day. The only rider to take both a Trophy Dash and A Maln was Ed Herrmann on a Tri. in the Open class. The rest of the races generally went to the rider that got out in frontfirst and could stay there. Some of the riders got in front by over riding themselves and went down on one of the corners to watch the steady racers go by. (Results on page 17) ... I ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• iNSTOCKTON Ed (101q) Herrmann leads some of the more than 60 250cc riders at the Woodland Winter Scrambles. Ed came back later In the Open class to nail down both the A Main and the Trophy Dash. BismarkTrialsters Shiver Through Freezing _ r a p s T By Jack Duncanson BISMARK, N. DAK. Dec. 21, 1969- In the snowy and cold wilderness of the Missouri River bottoms, the Capital City Cyclers held an En glish Observed Trials, December 21, 1969. ' The weather was miserable, the trac- tion was poor because of the two to three inches of snow that covered the ground, and the riders were frozen because of the sub-freezing temperatures. The Ten Sections that were run were as miserable as the weather. The ground was frozen and snow-covered, and the logs were wet and slippery wblch made the riders work all the harder to keep the bike under them rather than on top of them. Steve Bauman of Bismarck, on a borrowed 125cc Penton, rode to first overall in the slippery muck. r, Jasper KIeinjan of Bismarck on a 125cc Penton edged out Wes Shoina of,Minotby three points, 27 to 24, for the gold In the o to 175cc class • • In the 250Cc A class Jasper Klelnjan on a 250cc Yamaha squeaked past Gene Bartholome of Bismarck on a borrowed 250cc Yamaha, 23 to 24. 250cc B rider Keith Larson, riding Jack Duncanson's 250Cc Yamaha, put on a stunning display of Trialmanship by losing only 25 points for first place in the B class and a very good 4th overall. Not bad for a beginner. Mark Small of Bismarck rode to a very close second on his Kawasaki by losing Y 2 points more than Keith for a 27 total. In the big class Steve Bauman earned some more gold by riding his 250cc Ducati to fir s t with a 29 point loss. Dick Fahlsing also on a 350cc Ducati rode to 4 points behind Steve with 33. Curtis Builds Plastic Parts That Don't Break Most motorcyclists fall off once in a wblle, and break things. If this happens to you, Curtis Plastics should have Just the replacement you need. Curtis Plastics started when the owner, George Curtis, wanted a fiberglass fuel-oil tank for his racing bike. Unable to purchase this item, he manufactured one to fit. When he showed up with it at the local tracks, other racers wanted to buy a copy. Curtis then branched into the manufacture of seat-number plate units, wblch are popular on many different machines such as Dick Mann's Peoria TT w1nn1ng BSA and Jim Rice's BSA. Curtis is presently engaged with the prototype fiberglass for Yankee Mtr. COLISEUM CYCLE and ACCESSORY CO. MAIL ORDER KAWASAKI -~ MOTORCYCLES 3958 E. 14TH ST. OAKLAND, CAL.
