For the first time the AME went to Elsinore for a day at Rawhide Park. In most of the AME races the class that always draws in the smokin' competition is in the 250 contest. In today's 250 battle it was Bill Shonnard (Mai), Bob Rowe (Mai) and Richard Franklin (CZ) doing battle. Bill Shonnard who used to be a CZ man switched to a Maico and with satisfying results. He slipped away from the rest, witb a scott free overall. with mucho Indian Dunes MX by John Grou t VALENCIA, CAL, Nov. 12, 1972 Following Saturday's daylong downpour, individual lakes had been created in every tire print. The turns could have served as trou t·rearing ponds. And the racers - after a lap or so resembled schools of salmon, swimming upstream to do their thing. Picking the winner of a particular heat race was an easy chore: He was the "gen t" still clad in leathers - the others were wearing mudpacks. The smart guy was a fellow with a helmet ornament that looked like a beer can .. .it wasn't; it was a Coors periscope. The program should have been promoted by the L.A. County Harbor Patrol. All machinery should have been subjected to a test for determining seaworthiness. And yet, 177 motorcycles turned ou t for the 1st annual 1972 Muddycross.

Oddly enough, considering track conditions, the three of them won all three of their motos. Experts riders looking mighty goodbut still getting mud kicked into their faces by the aquatic champions - were: Bob Bayle, Jeff Zumwalt, Jed Drummond and Larry Hentschel. Pat Dailey became the only Junior-ranked grand slammer, when he whipped the Open class during three straigh t sets. Runners-up to winner Dailey were (I think) Wayne King, Randy Reinhard and AjS-mounted Mike Hendrix. Other Junior top-guns included: Jeff Drummen (100), Craig Sbuler (1.25), Scott Farris (125), and Terry Biner, who grabbed a 2-2-1 finish amongst 2505. . ... ~; .. ~ 'I I ,,1.
