AT NOON Brown Bests tBig 4' By Larry Knop Photo by Gary Payne LEHl, lITAH, April 18, 1971 - Today's Lehi Challengers motocross was the site for a long-awaited showdown among Utah's "Big Four" Open Class Experts. Bob Brown, Frank Myers, Preston Gerber, and Don Fuller are the riders and Maico, Suzuki, Husky and Yamaha are their bikes. The Challengers had laid out a complete new course in their old gravd pit. It was rough and many narrow places made passing diffiuclt. Two big water holes stopped many riders from even completing one practice lap. Finally, a heavy rain Saturday and a snow storm during practice guaranteed super traction in the wet sand and slippery mud. When the green flag came up for the Open Expert class, mud flew 20 feet in the air as 17 bikes dived for the first corner. Dennis Packard broke free of first lap, but then Brown broke into the clear and was gone. By the end of the moto he had an awesome lead over Myers, second. The third moto was Brown's from the outset, giving him a perfect score of three wins" He's now the one to beat in Utah motocross. The Lehi course really separated the riders and showed where the competition was. The 250 Experts were almost as exciting as the Open Experts. Woody Lawhorn had to work his Ossa to its limits to beat a vastly improved Gary Mikkelson, whose new CZ gave him a lot more speed. Mike Pearson didn't have it much easier in winning the 200 Expert class on his Kawasaki, but Cal Crosby and Peter Crandall ran away from the 100 and 125 classes, riding a Suzuki and a Penton respectively. Peter did wheelies much of the last lap just to keep himself amused as he completely outclassed his competition. A good turnout and a good day's racing for regional points.

Who?? That's what the spectators were wondering. Previously Dennis had not been setting the Utah motocross scene on fire, but Sunday he showed that the established riders have a new face to contend with. Back in the pack, Don Fuller's sock air filter just couldn't stop the water. Preston Gerber dropped out with a broken connecting rod. Meanwhile Brown had forged into second just ahead of Myers. Bob started cutting into Packard's lead, but Dennis was still the odds-on choice. He was really moving, but with less than a lap to go, the pressure got to him. A little too much throttle, a berm gave, and Dennis was down. Brown went past, 'l.nd then he bobbled and went down. Bob was up and running again immediately, though, to take first for the moto. In the second a pack of four riders contested for the lead throughout the By Terry Newfarmer EUREKA, lITAH - The Cherry Creek Hare and Hound, Utah's most famous race, which was plagued with troubles last year (some rider-caused, some club-caused) faces a new challenge this year - the requirement of a $2,000 cash bond by the Bureau of Land Management. Robert Nielson, state director of the BLM, explained the thinking behind the bond: "The Environmen t Protection Act of 1969 requires us to insure against destruction of the ecology... Even though the Salt Lake Motorcycle Club has cleaned up its area for the last ten years, we're not sure what spectators might do." He added that damage could be in excess of the bond amount. David Spencer, who is in charge of laying out the course this year, said "the bonding companies will gladly post this bond for $20 - if they get $2,000 cash as collateral. Nevertheless, we'll come up with it from somewhere, if they don't change it to a reasonable amount, so we can have the race_ Rep ortedly, other recent bond amounts have been: Cedar Valley Hare Scrambles, $100; Wendover Team Hare and Hound, $200; four-wheel and dune buggy Jerico Sand Rally, nothing. Dean Kingsford, state representative of the American Motorcycle Assn. suggested the possibility of a lawsuit, based on "this discrimination. n "That whole area is criss-crossed with sheep trails and litter from sheep camps, but they aren't required to post a cent," he said. The race is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. May 16, 14 miles west of t!}e J mco turnoff from US 50/6, in Juab County, Utah. lpril30tb BARGAINERS BAZAAR &AUCTION ~ dealer liquidation ~ . . . . .-... .....-... ~- ~-.- TIPS FOR AUCTIONEERING I f you have a bike you want to sell. you fill > '" :E ~ w Z W ACTION FOURS W1LL FEATURE HONDA 750 EXHAUST SYSTEMS AND HIGH PERFOR.....NCE ENGINES AT FRIDAY"$ CYCU SWAP.Q.RAMA.
