CAL. ,JUNE 23 A disappointingly light turnout of the faithfu l showed up for today's point run as the Sidehackers held the third 0-37 TT point event run here in about as many weeks. T he small scene didn't stop anybo dy from h a v in g a good t ime, especially t he Hackers themselves as they treated everybody to an exhibi tion sidehack race, displayi ng their usual and unusual antics and cutups o n t he track. II was hot and everybody had their tongues draggi ng the ground before it was all ove r. Because of the small turn ou t, the Novices, Amateurs, and Ex perts were co mbined in the Open class . Here, there was some super good riding going on. and du e to his consistency in all th ree mo tos , J ohn Sp rague (Tri) took it all home over the likes of Keith Moss (Yam ) and Kirk Redding (lIIai). In the Sweepstakes, I\like I\linnig lo o ked like he had it made all the way down to the last lap, that is until Steve Fortune (Bul) made his move and took the lead to the end, with Mike second, followed by another small bore pilot, Steve Woskoski (Yam). Even tho ugh Steve Fortune won, I'm sure that the small bore domination until then left a lot of riders psyched. After the main program was over, the Sidehackers put on a little show of th eir own with only the machinery and lunacy that they display. Sidehack setups ra nged fro m t he inc redibly trick . super Ho nda of pilot I\like Haller and passenger Charlie Swenson, down to the smallest hac k ever made - an I\IR 50 Ho nda m ini -Elsin or e hack p iloted by Eric (age eigh t) and Brett (age five) Haller , two of the yo ungest side hac ker s ever.
