Felly And King Take -Three Hour Marathon Story and Photo by Bob Grant CARLSBAD, CALIF. July 19, 1970 - The Brush Baron MC hosted a three-hour team scrambles here today on a course that resembled a miniature Grand Prix. The course began on the drag strlp, went down the quarter-mUe, then took a 90 degree right onto the rough. From there it wound for about two mUes of sharp ditches, short straights, tight off-camber turns, and sllppery down-hUls, and then back onto the pavement for a quick burst past the pIts and rIder changlng area and back down the quarter-mUe. The Open Experts took off exactly at 9:00 a.m. In a llve-englne, In gear, drag race to the end of the quarter-mUe. First bIke to the end was the Husky of Baja 500 winner Gene Fetty. Following immediately after the Open class were the 250 and 125 classes. Fetty continued to Increase his lead for the first hour before turning over to partner Scott King. King, despIte some dIfficulty staying on the course, kept the lead before again rellnquishIng to Ferry who came 1n for the win. The tightness of the course was ev1qenced by the fact that you had to go all the way down to sixth place to find the next Open bike, the CZ's of Bob Goodman and Mono Fox. Second overall was the 250 CZ team of Rocky Rudolph and his dad, J.G. RUdolPh. Third overall and first 125 was the team of Eddy Foland and David. Rheaume on Yamahas. They were followed closely by another 125 team, that of Davey Davis and Bob Frauenberger. The Novice race followed getting underway at on o'clock.After three hours of frantic rIder chang1ng and a tough dusty course the team of Gordon Jaspar and Marvin Dunscomb rId1nga250Husky and AmerIcan Eagle took the checkered tIag for fIrst overall. They were followed by the Open NovIce teams of Gary Bennett and Gary Moon on Huskies and Jeff BaIrd and Jim Lenhart. Fourth overall and first 125 was the team of Mark Miller and Paul Brinkman. FIrst In the 100 class was the team of Stephan Bebeck and Gary LIttle. There was only one bad not after a good day of racing. It seems there were quite a few items stolen out of the pits. One grouP was caught, and It seems that one big guy was putting uP these two llttle guys to lltttng tool boxes, helmets, leathers, etc. One pair of leather pants were recovered and can be cla1med at the Carlsbad Pollee Department.
