~GOOD Cl,' ~ lo:I :c: lo:I tl :>.. U DAY AT BAYMARE By David Smead ' BAY MARE, CALIF" Aug. 9, 1970There was good racing at Bay Mare tb1s weekend. In the two moto bash, Fred Joehnck and Steve Allen tied for top honors In the first division of 125 NovIces. They both rode like they deserved to be first so it's only fair to have a tie. The second division of 125 Novices was put down by Steve Armstrong who has become a regular winner at Bay Mare. Second man in the group was Jim Hale. Another familiar name, John Egizl, sho\fed uP as third in' the. results. The third division of 125 Novices fell behind Kevin Porter. Never far behind was Don Armstrong. Ron Rakisits, a new Amateur, put1ton the 125 Seniors when he charged to a first and third. Bruce Baron led the first race but crashed. In the second race he rode uPri~t for the win to get second overall. Lon Peterson, on "vacation" from the Army and still nurslng an Injured leg, managed a fifth overall. One more year and he will be a regular again at the races. The 250 Novices, Division I were shown the way home by Jim MacDonald. Mike Plunkett got the most out of the lessons, a second. The second Division was 1'Ion by Joe. Scarber. Joe Bonnello was second. The 250 Seniors put on some DeSoto type action. John and Ron held drill on the troops. The result would have read DeSoto, Ewing, DeSoto but Ewing got d1squa.1l.fled for pit racing. The Open Novices were given the Mike Renno message. He looks like one of the fastest Novices around. N, HUdson made a good attempt at staying with him and was second. The 500 Seniors were treated to some more DeSoto. John won both races easily. Some of the fiercest racing of the daY occurred between John Rice and John Maynard. Maynard managed to stay ahead last in each race so he took second honors. In the Sidehack bash it was Jack Moffltt and Nick Sateros all the way in both races. Bob Moffitt and Mike Wall had a little tougher go to nail down second. Bay Mare Cycle Association put some teeth In the no pit racing rule. Here is the list of d1squallfled Jl1t racers: Bob Ewing, - 19, Ron Jones - 625, John Webb - 380m, Paul Roady- 805, Numbers 255 and 552 also made the list. Cours'e cutting dlsqua.1l.flcations were: Gino Bayle - 814m, Larry Krueeer - 391. and BUI Kelly - 331m. All disqualifications were made by the District 37 referee. We've avoided the bad news as longas possible. First - there is no more all night camping at Bay Mare. It appears that certain parties are drinklng, acting obnoxious and sett1ng off fireworks. Those certain parties were said to have inclUded some teenage girls and Walter 0' Dell, owner of the land at Bay Mare. If this Is the case, it seems a little inconststent to blame this trouble on the riders as was done at the riders meeting. In any case the edict is, "No more overnight camping."
