BABY PRO WINNERS M Terry and John Handlein of San Fran~isco, Calif., got lucky this week as they not only correctly identified the BABY PRO as being Bob Grossi, but also were picked up out of our giant vat into which all correct guesses were dumped. A neat little check for $5 goes out to these two for a job well done in deducing the winning name. A breakdown on the clues: "Lynch City" is, of course, Hangtown, the Dirt Diggers North M.C.'s yearly bash; the teammate on the 4th was fellow AMXT member JUld Husky rider Bryan Kenney, who topped some of the world's best in France on July 4th of all dates. Next week, we'll have some more juicy clues for another BABY PRO which is just going to knock your eyes out. " g: N co AMXT CONTRIBUTORS· ELLIOT SMITH, Capetown, So. Africa; G.C.

Pessey, Schultz Share at Ascot By Eric Raits GARDENA, CAL., Oct. 22, 1971 David Pessey and German motocross ace Werner Schultz shared honors at Friday nigh t's Ascot Park motocross. Pessey and Schultz faced off against each other in two classes and came out even; Pessey won the 250 Expert class and fmished third in the 500's while Schultz won the 500 class and earned a third in-the 250'5. Schultz lost all chance for a win in the 250 class when his chain came off in the first moio. He rolled to' a stop while in third place behind Pessey and eventual second-placer Phil Jacobson, slipped the chain back on, and tried to continue but the chain refused to stay in place. Jacobson cost Schultz another stab at a win in the second moto. The pair went into the first tum side by side when Schultz turned on a dazzling flash of speed in an attempt to pass. Jacobson turned on the speed, too, but lost control, taking himself and innocent bystander Schultz off the course. Pessey took over the lead and won. Pessey, Jacobson and Schultz finished one-two-three in the last moto. The 500 Expert class became wide open when Bill Payne dropped out while leading the first moto. Schultz overcame some poor starts to beat out OVER 1,000 Mike Todd for fltst place. Payne took advantage of Jeff Wright's absence to notch a win in the 125 Expert class. Payne was challenged hard by superlative efforts from Joe Scotland and Tom Cook. Scotland and Cook Hvened up what normally would have been a rout for Payne. They finished second and third overall. Damp air prevented the afternoon's watering from being ground out during practice and the track was sHppery in places. After nearly a season of only a handful of falls in Ascot's high speed first turn, nearly every division had trouble. Junior winners h'ad a hot night with the exception of the 100 class. Mike Kuwahara took over the lead [Tom Angel Posca in early going and kept looking over his shoulder for h.is brother to catch up. Brother Norman Kuwahara moved up and caught Mike only to stall on a turn and let a couple of riders break up their sibling act. The 125, 250 and 500 class Juniors dominated John Erson (son of Sig Erson of camshaft fame), Darrell Wood and Ron McClellan pulled the difficult feat of winning both their respective heats and the final events.

SUPER JOE TO SEEK INDOOR JUMP RECORD Super Joe Einhorn, the Northern California jumper who, in the past month as (1) announced his acceptance to Evel Knievel's 25,000 challenge, (2) obtained the Triumph Motorcycle Corp. as a sponsor, (3) cleared eigh teen cars in practice (Knievel's record is nineteen), and (4) has now announced his plans to break the indoor record that Knievel set at the San Francisco Cow Palace over a year ago. Einhorn will be making his record leap while performing at the "Cycle Circus", a new concept in motorcycle entertainment, on December 11, at the Cow Palace. Produced by International Sport Cycle Expositions, Inc., "Cycle Circus" will consist of two performances in one day, featuring the top stuntmen in the county. Billed as the "world premiere" of the show, l.S.C.E. plans to travel the show to major U.S. cities after the Cow Palace date. "The major problem at the Cow Palace", claimed the 23 year old motorcyclist, "is running room. The main arena is not large enough in itself to get up speed for the jump and have any room left for braking. Consequently, III have to use the main lobby for my starting poin t, perform the jump in the arena and use one of the arena exits for stopping. It will be 'hairy'." The Cow Palace record claimed by Knievel was eleven cars when he performed during a local short track event to a standing-room-only crowd in early 1970.
