... ~ co c... 100cc class caught in the first tun). By Fred & Josie Bond HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIF., June 7, . 1970 - Twice a month the Huntington Racing Association stages a motocross on what amounts to a vacant lot, right in the middle of Huntington Beach. Evidently all promoter Don England needs to put on a race ts a bulldozer, a water truck, and a P.A. system. Thts continuing series' won't thrill Gary Bailey and the boys, but it sure proviQes just what Sunday racers everywhere dream about. The track, because of' the limited space available, is extremely tight, narrow," and full of jumps, holes, bogs and all manner of other things calculated to provide the mtsery that makes motocross .something more than a bumpy TT. Apparently England and company have hit the right combination, as you always see the same faces at H.R.A. events, and everyone has a good time. Some of the best competition at Sunday's races was provided by the usual horde of Hodakas in the lOOcc class. These boys really get down to business eVerytime - out, with Bruce McDougal taIdng honors for the day. The outstanding dice of the afternoon took place in the Sweepstakes race Grand Final H.R.A. style. Bruce Mc Dougal and Mike Hayes on their lOOcc Hodakas put on a fine display of riding talents, trying to stave ott John Maynard on bts 360 Malco. in the last lap Maynard managed to power by Hayes but the checkered t1ag fell on McDougal much to everyones surprise.
