Old Sol smiles on
Sunny Valley
By Jerry Mathel
SUNNY VALLEY , ORE., OCT. 19
Rainy So uthern Oregon skies
cleared and Sunny Valley lived up
to its name for the opening of its
Moto-X season. The pit area took
on the appearance of a family reunion
as old friends greeted each other and
found new ones. There j ust aren't any
strangers at this track. Even if you
didn 't know a soul you soon had a
dozen good b uddies, an invitation for
coffee, breakfast o r whatever. Track
operator Ray Co peland m akes it a p oin t
to get to know every rid er by his first
n am e.
Rain had left the short, twisty track
in primo condition, with a minimum of
dust an d a m ax imum of tr action.
Kei th Stricklin do minated all three
motos of t h e minib ike class with h is box
stock Honda X R and on several
occasio ns 100 ked like he m ight give the
100s some tro uble.
Ya maha mounted Bruce Smylie made
it a grand slam in the 10 0 class, co ppi ng
all t hree motos.
The 175 Junior cla ss was also a three
fo r one. Californian Cecil Ari spe , aboard
a Yamaha YZ, fought off a to ugh field
of riders. Each mo to saw a battle as
Kawasaki
mounted Troy
Arispe,
Duncan and Kirk Russe ll (Yam )
scratched for the rlead. : but] each time ,
Arispe seem ed to kee p right on truckin'
as th e other riders t ired and slowe d.
The 175 Senio r class was a three way
scrap between Ch ris Washburn (Hon),
Dave McRae (Yam) and Todd Chestnut
(Ho n) but in the final count it was
Washburn with two wi ns and McRae
o ne. Each of the three had a second.
The 250 class was the largest of the
day and h ighligh ted by the flawless ride
of Bultaco mo un ted Bob Co nners. If the
kid ever made a mistake it certainly
didn't show. He motored to three
straight w ins with his o nly serious
challenge co rni ng in the third moto by
Can-Am mounted Bruce Harshman.
Harshman passed Conners on several
occasions but couldn 't quite mat ch
Conners' pace and in the last laps
decided he had better cool it.
Bob Decker took top Open class
honors with a brand new Suzuki 370
wh ich certainly has got grunt. Bob
grabbed the wins in two m o tos,
dropping one to Bultaco mounted Do n
Durrant.

Jammers semi proMX opens Sacto
OHV park
By Sallee Hilton
SACRAMENTO , CAL., NOV. 2
Sacramento Co un ty (somewhat
reluctant and skeptical about the
whole idea) pu rchased approximately 500 acres o f ru ral property
previously known as McGill Cy cle Par k.
The park was closed down fo r a year
and a half, and has now re-o pened as a
motorcycle recreation area. In an
attem p t to make the park pay some of
its own operating expenses, it was
decided to allow clubs and p romoters to
run co mpe tit io n events. The first event
at
S.O.H.V .P.,
hosted
by
the
Sacramento Jammers M.C. was the
co un ty 's first en counter with sanctioned
motorcycle
competition,
and the
J ammers p assed the test !
Pat Richter (CZ ) swept the Open
Expert class with two wins and no rider
. could get close enough to worry him
after the first tu m of either moto,
Danny Leet. (Mai } was in line for the
second o verall pay , but he was p ut out
of the race wi th a melted spark plug
wire .
Eighty Ex pe rts signed up, and 33 of
them were in the 250 class. The sign up
sheet read like a "Who 's Who." Wayne
Reedy (Suz) got the hol esh o t, hotly
pursued by Ra ndy Los h (Bul), Do n
(Bul), Charles Halcomb
Sandretto
(Hu s), Kevi n He nry (Bul) and Mike
J enn ings (C·A) . Lo sh to o k over th e lead ,
Reedy wen t do wn , and t he gro up
co n tin ued to m ix it up . Henry set tled
into second an d Halcomb th ird . floyd
Davis (Suz) wo rked his way up fro m
23rd off the line to ace o ut San dre t to
fo r fourth at the checkered. It nearly
caused h is pre gn an t wife to deliver at
trackside !
On the second go Losh held onto first
