What's Jack Morgan up to anyhow?" DMCA Scrambles - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - By "Wild Bill" ADELANTO, CAL., July 30, 1972 The 250 CZ of Loyd Morgan, 250 Husky of Dave Horine and David's Ii'l brother, 100 Yamaha of Jeff Conners, bl<:w the 360 machines of Terry Fish (Yam) Less Brown (Hus) _and Mike Morales (Yam) in the weeds. That was the top six places overall in today's DMCA ScraJllbles. This was no small bike course as I saw front wheels in the air for long yardage, repeatedly. Fast, but out of the dust cloud popped th<: Iightw<:ightsiirst. The fu-st 250 Beginner was Stan Oberst on his rast Bul. This class being so large, I don't have more of their results at this time. Th<: 100 Beginner class had Phil Helferich (100 DKW) between Mike Boltz (Hod) in front and Rod Lew (Hod) third to make a "HO-DKW·KA u -sandwich. For less confusion, it was Mike I, Phil 2, and Rod 3 for the class. Powder Puffs had a fme tum out There was one fme machine in shining red and chrome with little dust being loaded up for the trip home. Getting the results, 1 can see why. The pilot, Patti Ho, did in the rest of the Powder Puffs. Patti had the advantage with her 250 Husky. (HOT TIP: Husqvarna makes structural steel, Viking sewing machines, superb firearms and "trick" competition motorcycles.) Anyway, Patti Ho is the gal to beat. Would you believe, DMCA presented II 0 trophies from' their last even t. This club really gives brass, up to 24th in their largest classes. Today was in the cool 90's before the 9:30 start. This heat wave sprouted some full bloom pit·racers. There are just so many peopl<: in an organizatiOn putting on the race, and a lot of welcome volunteers, but they are bustin' it whije making the cour~ as safe as possible, etc., etc. They don't have time to be babysitters to pit racers: Please, adults control your mini s and adul ts con trol yourselves. ", The course, for those who mis~ed this one, was the same as the last od July 9 only run backwards. Par for DMCA was lots of bright orange ribbon aI\~'i>lenty of lime to make a well marked course. 1 did not get any finn dates on DMCA's next event so after reading M'?tocross Cat, check the events. -
