AME MX at O s t e e n ' s - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - , by Tom COTley
POMONA, CAL., Nov. 5, 1972 - In the
Senior action the going was easy for
Dave MilleT, on his long, low and fast
Costella -Special Proto with a build
Sachs 125 powered engine, mu~d the
start with clutch bummers. The other
Senior threat Bob Brooks got a good
jump on Miller bu t soon Dave caugh t up
and zap-ped Rrooks when his Carabela
flamed out. This gave Miller the edge for
the rest of the day.
The second mota was a big snore for
Dave again with only a few 125 nippers
tTying to buzz him while he took it
easy, but in the third mota Miller met
starting line hassles again when his chain
derailed. He finally got it together again
to finish the third moto' and to win the
overall.
Brad Lynch had one other foe to
worry abou t while winning the first
place status in the 125 Junior class.
Tom Devore on a blue Rickman 125
was playin'- see-saw with Lynch but
drew a second place. Both Lynch and
Devore were closing the gap on Senior
Miller who must have been just taking it
easy with no one else in his class to
worry about in the second mota.
The 100 Junior class was kinda
shrunken today. This gave star Jeff
Sanchez (Hod) an easy win with only
Kevin Klinzing on a Yamaba 100 to give
him a run for his money.

VICTORVILLE, CAL., Oct. 29, 1972 The third "round of the "Suzuki Series",
co-sponsored by the High Desert Racing
Association and National Racing
Association, weTnt off witbout much to
talk about, other than the fact there was
a small al tercation in the minicycle
class.
For those of you who were there,l'd
imagine you'd agree, THE race was the
minicycie, 70(c event. I'm not sure
David Oller (Han) would agree with us
on that point, but [ am sure Brian UTile
Jet" Myerscough (Han) would agree.
Good old Brian got to gain' so darned
AMC
fast, he left the remainder of the field
about a half-lap behind - on a very legal
rna hine, as everybody found out.
While all members of the racing
Myerscough and Renshaw families
weren'l present, good old George
Renshaw (Yam) showed up for the
Minicycle (GOcc) race and (you guessed
it) romped.
My story would have been downright
dull without those tluee minicyciers to
spice it up.
Fourth round of the "Suzuki Series"
gets underway Sunday, as the High

IRVINE, CAL., Oct. 21. 1972 - The
250 Junior gang has in its ranks a very
fast Maico rider named Bill Conroy
who,
until
recently,
had
total
dominance over that class, but then
along came another Maico rider named
Jon Miller who has shattered Conroy's
monopoly of the class.
In the firsS mota of their race,
Conroy grabbed the lead righ t off the
bat, and went on to win, with Miller
about 100 yards back in second. The
second mota appeared as though it
would be a mirror image of the first
until lap three when Miller got together
and began to move. It was near the end
of the last lap that Miller snuck around
Conroy and just barely won the mota.
What excitement! - what tension! The
last mota would be the decider.
A very rare thing happened in the
Open Novice class - there was a tie. Not
just a two-way, but a three (count 'em),
three way tie for first between Frank
McNab (500 BSA), Suzuki pilot Mark
Sullivan, and Ray Baal (Hus). AMC is
going to give each rider a first place
trophy.
The third mota of the 100 Novice
class was the best single duel of tbe day
featuring Ric Roberts on a Hodaka and
Bul· mounted Randy Schloe. Roberts
grabbed the lead ri~h t off the line with
Schloe just behind. In lap three, the two
of them were neck and neck up the
straight out of the canyon. Schloe kept
it on longer and got a wheel on Roberts
in the last tum before the finish line and
he went on to win the moto and overall.
In the last race of the 250 Novice
Junior class, Conroy got a great start
and soon snatched the lead with Miller
just a few feet behind. This went on for
two and a half laps, then Mi'lIer saw'·liis·

chance - made his move - and grabbed
the lead. Conroy, who was now in
second,
seemed
disheartened
and
dropped back to fourth. Even so, he got
a second for the day.
One is beginning to see a lot of
gutless silencers that don't do much.
Also saw two displays of poor
sportsmanship. The first was a 200
Intermediate who was knocked down
. by a Junior in a turn. Both riders fell
but got up. Even though it was the
Junior's fault, the Intermediate felt that
it was necessary to insert his foot into
the Junior's gas tank with great force.
All he got was a sore foot and the
distain of onlookers.
.
The second was a dangerous stun t
pulled by another 250 rider. I know
abou t this one because I was the victim.
In the third lap of our first mota, I
came around tbis guy in the tum just
before the check tower and that put us
nearly
wheel-to·wheel
down
that
st.raigh t. RatheT than let me by (we were
in the middle of the pack), he pushed
me in to the check tower. I hit the
tower, not hard, but it made me go aU
over the track. If anybody else had been
around, I very likely would 'have hit
them, too.
I didn't relate this to you for
vengeance, In fact I was as much in the
wrong because I found that I was
compelled to do some vigorous fist
waving. The bad part was that it took
place in an area with many spectators.
Spectators come to the motorcycle
races to see the skill and daring, not to
see poor sportsmen. For that, they can
stay home and watch t.he Roller Derby
on T.V. If they do that, the parks won"t
get their bread, and w~thout the bread,
the quality of the track goes down.
