AME Rawhide MX By Jack Collin ELSINORE, CAL., OCT. 21 _ It's hard to decide if the best _spectator races are the thoroughly convincing clean sweeps, or those motos where overall standings are in doubt until the end. AME's Rawhide events produced a regular portion of both. Nancy Dagg (Cl) turned in a sweep in the Powder Puff, as did Beginners Willis Amaradio (Hon) 125, and Jeff Long (Cl) in the big bore. Intermediate Ron Shaub punched his 250 Maico home first in his events, Tom Hudson did it in the Junior division with his 500 Husky and Pete Maly (Cl) closed the door on everyone in the 250 Senior class. , Now that's convincing! But it do~sn't d~scrib~ th~ int~r~st th~ 125 S~niors g=aat~d with Gary Hub~r (P~n) in hot pursuit of Jim Hal~'s division point I~ad.

Th~ strong finish gav~ Hub~r a s~cond ovaall b~hind th~ st~ady riding of K~n Ehl~rs (Hus). Tony D~ Latorr~ (Mon) captur~d th~. • convincing and exciting fashion at Indian Dunes Friday night. Exciting because Cole, had to come from behind in each event. Vic Tripke (Yam) and Mike McAtee (Pen) swapped second and third positions in the first two sets, sometimes leading, sometimes challenging Cole all the Jway. In the fmal moto, Cole had trouble at the gate and was fifth at the first tum. From that fust tum, all the way to the wire, it was a scrambling battle which saw Cole finally emerge the leader by the fourth la~. Tripke and McAtee finished 2 and 3 overall. Th~ 250 th~ir share and 500 S~niors contribut~d of lm~ ~cbniqua on th~ well groom~d track. J~ff Blix (Yam), Tom Bat~s (CZ) and Randy Stubbs (Yam) finisb~d 1-2-3 ovaall in th~ 250 circuits.

Orange Bowl of Motoel"oss By Tom Corley ELTORO, CAL., OCT. 19 Davy Carlson is makin' Orange County International Raceway his track to pull in the money on against some of the fmest 125 Experts in Southern California. After two straight wins in the past two weeks he was feeling up to it again. He booted his Mission Honda CM 125 Elsinore Motocrosser again to take the win away from top name rivals as Bruce McDougal, Bruce Baron, Ken lahrt, and Rick Sheren. K~n Zahrt in past w~~ks would g~t th~ jump on things and for a whil~ Carlson had troubl~ passing, y~t by th~ ~nd of th~ night won it all.
