JUNE 22 Cruising was out and coo king it was in on Anderson Dry Lake Blvd., this weekend in Lucerne Valley . Th e sta rt here was so fast that if it took two kicks to sta rt yo ur bike , you were o ut of contention. Dust was a bit o f a pro blem , but it did not seem to bothe r A.C. Bakken as he stuc k h is facto ry Hu sky in sixth gear and took the race , leading wire to wire . Sec o nd to th e bomb was Ron Bebo foll owed by " Lil " An d y Kir ker . Un like A.C ., Ro n had so me problems and bro ke out o n th e firs t lo op . This moved Kirker into seco nd position, but this was not to last as TIm Bowman was coming o n hard after a ho hum start and passed him when Kirker missed a turn .
