The charge to the bomb with that familiar face out front, Tom Brooks (DKW). Unfortunately. he managed to get off vigorousiy.
Jack Dailey (Hod) was first Trail
Amateur. and the only traiJbike I saw
for a long, long stretch in there. Pretty
ro ugh going for you fells? Neil
Christman (Puc) got across for first in
Division 1\ Lightweight Amateur class,
and Ch ris Bengtsson on a Monark was
first 125 Novice.
Joy Malis, the pretty, petite ballet
teacher, was first girl today on her
Rickman Hodaka. She summed up what
all the guys had been saying when she
pulled up to the finish line, grinning,
"Hey, that was really neat.' That was
one of the funnest courses all year."
I suppose somewhere in this story
should be mentioned that Larry
Pfutzcnreuter, sporting a new DiffBrake
on his 250 Bultaco, was first overall. If
Pfutz can win his class in every race for
the rest of the year he can keep his
number one ligh tweigh t plate away
from
Fishback. Incidentally, Jim
Fishback got off hard on the way to the
bomb. got on again. and was too dizzy
to hang on to it, crashed again; started
again and rmally had the good sense to
quit before he broke something.
For winning overall, So Cal MC
presented Pfutz with a bottle <)f Wild
Turkey and gave him, along with the
rest of the class winners, a chance to
win a live .turkey. (This is the Turkey
Run, remember?) All they had to do
was catch them.
The trouble started when So Cal
decided to give the girls a ten yard head
start in the foot race. Pfutz planted
himseIr on the girl's line and said "You
want equal rights? I'll give you equal
rights." But he couldn't hold a straight
face and once he started cracking up he
was easy to shove back to the guy's
starting line.
With ber head start, Joy was able to
capture one of the birds, and Larry.
coming from behind. managed to grab
one of the turkeys. Don Grieve got off
at the road crossing and knocked
him se If silly.
Nobody was really sure exactly how
one gets a live turkey home from the
. desert, except Joy, who found a
gunnysack. And those who did manage
to get them home are going to have a
hard time keeping the kids from making
a pel of it before dinner time on
Thursday.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
~ee va' at the finish line in Las Vegas.
Pretty foxy form for a little scooter way out in the middle of the desert.
Ooomph. Well, I know which line not to take.
