See S.R.D.S. ~ ~-J:============================='=:'================= ~'" in Cycle News'" • STILL WAITIN' There is a 500 Expert rider that is vastly underrated and you people refuse to admit he even exists. His name is Gary Harris and he rides a 400 Husky with no sponsorship. The past two CMC races he entered he has received two seconds, once behind Dave Smith and the next time behind Ron Roberts. I was at those races and watched him come from behind and dice with the leaders. Then I wait for Cycle News to get here but I don't see why: one week has an in-depth study of Brenton Rhoades' broken collarbone and another one is a story concerning Billy Urban's rituals and practice. Not to knock either of the two bitchen riders; I'm waiting for you to recognize the excellent rider that Gary is. What about it? That's the supposedly "big" class, I wanna hear about one of the big riders. SOCTT SNAPP No 447 DOUG BISHOP No. 521 La Mesa, Calif. WRONG HAND Tom Culp's article on the 4 Ace's G.P. at Willow Springs was good, but wonder why he never mentioned Jim Hall, who 1 believe, took first 250 Amateur on a Bul PurSang, riding for Lancaster Bultaco Shop? If he didn't, then we've all been shaking the wrong hand of a super-swell rider. The 4 Aces put on a well organized VOICES OF THE WEST event, by the way. THE GOGGLE BUNCHER Lost Coyotes M.C. Lancaster, Calif. DEAR MR. PAULL: Talk about messed up. How can we tell if you are in a club or not if you don't put the name of your club on the rider application? Are you ashamed of the Sled Riders or something? Our club members always put the name in the space provided so the club always gets poin ts, too. As for the address and phone number, Cycle News kindly prin ts a Club Guide. We have one cut out for all our members to refer too. We have sent a Club Guide to you along with your trophy. Hope you can make good use of it in the future. Helping out in desert events at Saddleback Park? We never heard of a desert event there - motocross, yes, but never a desert event. When they have one let us know so we won't have to drive so far. LOS ANGELS M.C. Sun Valley, Calif. PUFFS AND PANS Re: Mr. Swift's article, "PPers: learning the hard way". --The date was Oct. 10, 1971. --The promoting club made a concession to let the Powder Puffs run separate as there was not enough PP entries to constitute a class and were to be abbreviated motos as per the girls agreement before any races were run. --They were set up on the program fourth out of the nine, not "tucked away somewhere". --The race was not started too soon as they were due at the staging area, then on the line, while the previous moto was running. Lost gloves are not the problem of the promoting club. --True, the PPers did not complain, except Nancy Payne. --File a protest against what? Be$Oause the starter didn't waiting for a glove hunter who had over 15 minutes and the several hours, mentioned by the writer, to be ready for her event. If Mr. Swift was assigned to cover the event for Cycle News and was paid for same, he should be arrested for taking money under false pretenses. HUSBAND OF A PPER TO THE VICTORVILLE VALLEY SHERIFFS On Sunday, October 3, 1971, The California Enduro Riders Association held a 200 mile Enduro. Our club had eigh t en tries in this particular rough and difficult event. One of our riders had to leave his inoperative motorcycle on the course some 15 miles from the intersection of Old Woman Springs Road and the Soggy Dry Lake access road Assuming that the rider, l'atrick Hubbs and his teammate Lloyd Coats would be able to retrieve the bike, the other members left after the event and returned to Los Angeles.
