SRA Desert Relay Race by Lou Whitney Photos by Dale Coats ADELANTO, CAL., july 8 _ The flrst ever desert relay race was run today by the Sportsm6.n Racing Association 'and by all indications, we may see more of this unique event. First of aU, most riders had a tough time aeciding whose bike they would ride as it seemed that each partner wound up with shifting on the wrong side, or too short a handlebar, or the the wrong smelling oil, etc. Then there's the monumental decision of who rides in the dust to the bomb for the number one lap (there were six in aU), and who gets to visit with the otber waiters on the line for rider change. The basic procedure was simple, wen thought out, and effective. The starting line paralled the pits was separated by streamers and about a 60 foot safety lane (also part of the course). AU gassing and repairing operations were accomplished on the starting line by the twO riders, no spectators allowed for safety sake. Each lap the riders would zap down the lane between the pits and the line, puU up to their buddy, tum the scooter over, and invariably let the clutch go too soon. The course was about ten miles long, and contained all sorts of country to practice the art of precision balance at high speed. The bomb was located on a hill leading to a two or three mile flat go-go section which gave the faster riders an opportunity to put some space between them and the more cautious types. Then a half mile or so of twisty and rocky canyon uphill sorted things out a bit more before settling into an enjoyable assortment of trails, hills, sand washes, and hoops. After sorting out the Amateurs (two of them), two 18 year old brothers, Gary and Mark Anondsen brought their 250 Yamaha in for the Novice win with Russ Farvour and Dean johnson's 250 Yamaha righ t behind them. First Beginners and third overaU were Ken Clark and Ken Winkler (must have been Yamaha's day). In fourth slot was the father/son team of Ron Farmer and his 14 year old, Bob, hustling their 400 Husky to a first Open Novice. The surprise of the day was eighth overaU team of Mike and Don McElfresh on a 125 Yamaha. Normally this would 'be no great thing except that these are two of the biggest racers in the desert, and the little scooter looked like a pogo stick on the line. Rick and Bob Zamora, aged 13 and 15, herded their little Yamaha in for the top spot in the Trailbike Novice section while Keith and Greg Smith (15 and 14) did it to the other Trail Beginners on a 90 Kawasaki. 1-------------------------------------------------------------------1, I }!~::~ ... a: ;yB~~~~~ ff!Tlt1G~t ~ve.nts location I, All must be received by noon Thursday to appear in the ,upcoming week's Cycle News.
