expense of the idea of the enduro. It's
sort of like throwing out the baby with
the bath. From a terrain pain t of view,
the SoCal Hare and Hound was a better
enduro than any of the enduros this
season, which is kind of disappointing.
You get all worked up for a really tough
enduro (as advertised) and you finish
before lu.nch, not really even tired. Next
year however, Dave says, it's going to be
different. "You see that range of
mountains with the snow," he pointed,
"That's where we're going."
The fairly high speeds of today's TUn
gave Rescue 3 a busy day. They treated
two broken legs, one broken wrist, one
collar bone and one foot. They also
responded to a TUmor that had been
circulating to the effect that since there
were no open Sundays for the enduros
next year, they would be busy with
races every Sunday and would not be
able to cover enduros. Not necessarily,
they saId. If th.ey can possibly manage it
they'll split their forces and cover both
events.
A host of good riders competed in
the Last Chance Enduro and almost
everyone had a good time. No results
are available of course, but a persistent
TUmor has it that Gene Burcham won it
on his big Triumph. It was a good run
for a Triumph.

of the trail
In one of the most furiously contested trailbike battles ever Jack Morgan rode his
Hodaka to victory in the l00cc class in the Barstow-to-Vegas Hare 'n' Hound.
With over 2000 riders starting this was the largest race of all times. Terry Clark,
Mitch Mayes and Jeff Wright took the early lead, bombing past most of the
bigger bikes before hitting the first gas check 45 miles out. From their on it was a
seesaw battle with Wright and Mayes finally dropping out with bike troubles. At
the end Jack Morgan rode his Hodaka past Tom Brooks to take the victory in one
of the roughest trailbike contests of all times.
