It didn't rain at De An:la, in fact the weather and the track condition combined to make a great day for 'crossing with Moreno Valley M.C. Today was also a great day for Randy Rios who won the large trophy for earning the highest point total in a nine week period. Randy won by a large margin. He will hold the M.V.M.C. number one plate for the next nine week period. December 1 will start the new point run for another big trophy so come on out, Try us you'll like us! Another good thing happened today was, the Tareo man was out and he donated cans of chain lube to all the first place guys in all classes. Mike Stevenson won all three motos in the Open Junior class. . The 250 Beginner class was won by Randy Lincoln and Tim J ones took second. Wayne Franz and'John Petrey were tied going into the last moto and they knew it. because they were both riding hard, then Petrey fell and gave Franz third place all to himself. John Field won the 250 Junior class. Randy Rios took second in the class. The 250 Expert class was won by ReRie Dunlap on his CZ. The 125 Junior claaa wu the race to By The Shadow STODDARD VALLEY, CAL., NOV. 4 William Sears (CZ), proved to be the toughest competitor in Stoddard Valley on Sunday, as the Riverside-based California Racing Club decided on a four-hour Hare -Scrambles to get 'riders in shape for the Barstow to Vegas Race. In addition to be in g the first overall competitor, Sears was number one Open Novice, second place in the event going to Dennis Hill, who was second Open Novice competitor. The test was so tough, only 30 competitors finished the race (we hope things will improve a bit come the Barstow to Vegas Race). A big surprise came way down at 24th overall, where Sigrid McAllister (Ric), took honors as number one Powder Puff competitor, Unfortunately, her husband, Dan, was among the DNFs. I wonder what that means? And there was even a Minibiker who finished the tough race, Billy Sears (it figures, his dad was number one), was the first in the Minibike class. Perhaps we should enlarge on that just a bit tough Billy was the only Minibker finisher. And to round out the other- top riders within the Top 10 finishers, Bob King (Suz), finished third overall and was first 250 Novice, while C. Ahuero (Bul), was fourth overall and second 250 Novice. • "' , . , , -
