eutings can be until you take 'em with a
Rec-Pac. This spiffy new accessory rides
easy on your back (or your passenger's
if you pack double) and carries all those
amenities you'd like to take along if
only they could be carried easily and
safely, without regard to bouncing and
crashing over rough terrain. Well, now
you can. with this new invention from
Cycle News Products. We use ours (we
have two of them) to keep our cold
drinks and cameros, etc. handy when we
cover events. The Rec-Pac makes a
comfortable s1001 when we feel like
sitting down. It sure beats tying stuff all
over the bike when we head out for an
overn igh ter, ann it rides comfortably for

any tength of time, thanks to a cunning
padded strap arrarigement. It's easy-on,
easy-off, too. Just slip the arms through
the loops and pull the strap. Once you
adjust your balance to compensate for
the Rec-Pac, you forget it's there. It has
no effect on handling. O-rings are
installed at handy places to fasten extra
gear like sleeping bags, firewood, or
wh a thaveyou. With dimensions of
9xI5x22" it gives you 2,970 cubic

State Championship Trials
Final preparations are in progress for
the first round of the California State
Trials Championship which will take
place October 22nd at Indian Dunes
Cycle Park in Valencia.
, The S tate Championship now held
by Lane·Leavitt of San Francisco wiJJ be
challenged by such outstanding riders as
Richard Bledsoe and Mark Eggar of San
Diego, Kevin Walker of Newbury Park
and a host of other top riders.
Several Trialsmen from out of state
are expected to try their skill against

EL TORO:CAL., Oct. 13, 1972 - So
Friday the 13th is unlucky? Not if your
name happens to be Don Stenersen.
Donny's luck held as he and his CZ
swept the 250 Int. This last in a long
string of such wins clinched the grand
prize in the Mabee's Tire Series. The
three·way tie for first was only decided
by the final moto.
Bryan Menne had already swept the
100 Junior I, but Menne was down on
total motos won during the last seven
weeks. As of last week, Dave
Messersmith was in favored position,
and the first two' motos of the 250 11
seemed to better his chance. Dave had
only to win the final race to take first
prize, a set of Mag wheels. But it was
not to be.
Messersmith messed up, not getting
his usual lead. He tailed leader Ray
Schubert the first lap, but by the last
lap and the- all-important finish was
third behind Darrell Keen and Don
Pfaff, two Suzuki moun ts. Keen got
second, and Dennis Briggs and Don
Pfaff followed overall. Even though
Messersmith won the race, that third

California's best. From California's
mother country, Spain, will be master
rider J ordi Permanyer giving support to
the Mon tesa team.
While the Championship applies to
master class, all classes, novice through
master will be riding. Kids class through
age fourteen will also be open. Trophies
and finisher pins will be awarded to all
classes.

saw his chances'of winning the series go
down the tubes. -In addition, that finish
put Menne second and Messersmith got
the worst of the three·way tie.
Finally an Expert showed up in the
winners list t but it wasn't Dave Carlson
expected as of last week. Ajay ace
Morris Malone beat out Carlson for fifth
spot and the helmet prize. Morris did it
with a 250 win, a very near thing with
Jon Derhammer sizzlin' on a CZ.
Davy Carlson was down to his last
holdout in the 125. There he met up
with Jeff Vidic (Pen) and Murray
Hoffman (DKW) , two 125 whizzes.
They proceeded to whiz their way to a
one-two finish in that order. Appm;ently
it was all Davy could do to stay in third.
That allowed Morris to pass him in
points, leaving Carlson sitting in sixth.
Bill Zuehl (Yam) found first in the
250 Junior lover Chuck Williams (Hus).
In the 100 11, Rick Wever (Yam) took
top spot, as did Daniel Snow in the 5,00
on a Suzuki. Rick Stehle (Bul) topped
the 125 Juniors Division 1, but Steve
Hesse couldn't believe he'd won
Division II. We can't understand why.
He won each moto.
