Rohi Holbert, Wayne Booth, and Jack
Hicks took home the top cash today at
Southwest Motocross Park.
The 125 Experts saw another chapter
in the continuing Steve Stackable-jack
Hicks feud. The pair swapped wins in
the first two heats. L, the third moto

and Gene Fisher. Don't get too smug.
fellas. Rumor has it that speedy Ray
Dasch has built himself a super,
reed-valved 125 CZ while recovering
from his leg injuries.
There was a disappointing turnout for
the 250 Expert Class with most of the
middle motors opting for the Junior
bash. Booth cruised to an easy victory
after first heat winner Ricky Lloyd
lunched his gearbox. Attendance in the
250 Experts should inc,rease shortly
because several top Juniors are ready to
get their feet wet racing with the money
boys.
Bill Kasson debuted the new 380 CZ
in Texas by copping a third in the Open
class behind Jack DeBoe and Holbert.
Kasson. Scott Elliot, DeBoe. and Dave
Dismukes swapped places continually as
they chased the lightning-quick Holbert
around the rocky track. Robi was
almost unable to finish the last moto
because of an eye injury from a flying
rock. but he managed to hold on to the
big Husky for four more laps to ensure
his overall victory. A University of
Texas student, Dismukes, impressed all
who have followed his racing career as

Peterson Wins
EI Paso IX
By Dane Askins
EL PASO. TEX., May 16,1971 - David
Peterson came all the way from Silver
City. New Mexico, to pick up the top
cash in the 250 Expert class today.
Peterson set the stage by putting his
Ossa in the lead on the first lap of the
first moto. Although pushed hard by
Dick Wingfield on a.Maico and Bryan
Treadway on a Montesa he was never
headed.
The second moto was again a wire to
wire run for Peterson. Winfield pulled in
second and Treadway third. The final
mo to started like a replay of the first
two until Peterson dropped it near the
end of the first lap. Treadway went on
to win the moto with Bill Wight second
on a CZ. After a little difficulty in
restarting Peterson was able to move up
through the pack and pick up a third.
This was all he needed for the overall
win. Treadway and Wingfield took
home second and third place money.
The Open Expert class was very
similar to the 250 class in that Lanny
Wilson led the first two motos from
start to finish, but he also had trouble in
the third. Forgetting to tum the gas on
he found himself trailing the pack in the
first lap. Quickly remedying the
situation, however. Lanny was able to
power his big Suzuki into the lead for a
clean sweep for the day. Dick Wingfield
(Mako) and Jon Wilson (CZ) took
second and third. Conspicuously missing
from today's Open class action was
lIat7y West who injured his foot last
week at the La Laguna track.
Cliff Atchley. who claims Forida as
. his home but is presently stationed at
Fort Bliss. rode his reed valve Bultaco to
a clean sweep in the 125 Expert class.
Placing second and third were Tom
Wabler (Bul) and David Spencer (Pen).
Another cle'\ll sweep was scored in
the 100 Expert class where Dave Miller
riding a Harold Tiede·man tuned Hodaka
easily turned back all comers. This little
machine really runs and Miller did right
by his tuner. never being headed the
entire day.
Many local racers have mentioned
that they would like to see the newly
formed New Mexico Racing Team at
some of the EI Paso area races. Maybe
they will soon.
