RIVERSIDE, CAL. Feb. 1, 1970 - The
High-Jinks M.C. motocross course in
the Canyon Crest area is truly awesome.
, There are lots of ups and downs, rights,
lefts, off camber stretches, dr op- offs
and of course, the water crossings.
The stream cros sings became muddy
after a few laps and they were a real
quagmire by the end of the day.
As many as 50 riders at a time lined
up for a shot at the course and the
abundant trophies . While the whole
course is pretty spectacular, the water
hazards seemed to be the undoing of
most of the competitors. Almost every
r ider Gopped, slithered or pushed his
machine through the wet.
In addition to falling in the mud, 100cc
winner Jeff Wright had chain problem
with his Rickman Hodaka In the flrst
two motes, Jeff and persistent Don
Elddie on a Hodaka nearly lapped the
enUre field in the final moto, Dale

Walter added up enough points with his
Sachs to pick up second behind Jeff.
Brian Kink and Larry Roeseler rode
Yamahas to first and second In the 125
race. The part of the course that wasn't
wet was dusty. So, if your spark was still
alive after the water hole the dust would
,foul your plug if the air cleaner wasn 't
Just right.
Earl Roeseler picked out a good line
and rode a smooth, almost uneventful
race to nail down the 25~Open honors
for the day. Earl's Yamaha was followed
across the Une bY the Os sa of Jim
Orcutt.
The High-Jinks believe in rapid service so despite the overwhelming tur nout, trophies were available that afternoon to anyone who waited around for
the results to be announced.
