Victors and spoi ls - the top two teams attack the bubbly. Jeff Wright (wiping) is
being brave about it all: " BoY. that stuff is (yecch !l really good'"
front end after Winchell bent the triple
clamps and fork legs in a crash near the
end of the third loop.
The first Amateur team finished
sixth. that team being J .C. Ray and
Kern Parke (370 Suz], their first major
race. In the early going they were up to
fourth. but eight seizures set them back
sligh tl y . After this first taste of big-time
desert racing, theyll be entering the
Mint and the Baja together.
Kaplan and Eddy continued on as
first small bike; actually they were the
only ones in class to finish. at ninth
overall despite several cases o f lost
brakes. They deserve a lot of credit for
going down the steep. rock-strewn face
of Galileo Hill without brakes. But they
were topped by Dennis Greene. who
rode the last part of the first loop on
the back rim. After changing wheels on
the 250 CZ. Greene's partner Phil
Stumbo had a trouble-free loop, gave it
back to Greene. who ca me u p with
another flat tire.

The DRA set up a Semi Pro class for
No vices this year, to give the green-plate
ride rs a chance at some m o ney . Solo
rider Daryn Wyatt (360 Hus) took the
lead on t he first loop after Randy
Martin got lost. Wyatt led the first two
loo p s but bro ke on the third. giving the
lead back to Martin and his partner Wes
Finkle on a 400 Yamaha. They kept the
lead on the last loop in sp ite of a broken
spring on the shock. Robbie Voight and
Mark Mizu (250 Yarn) were fourth at
the halfway point, moving into second
on the third loop. Mizu was suffering
the effects of a bad cold that had lasted
for a week. but he kept the team in
second despite four soil samplings at
various points around the course on the
last loop. Chuck Fowler and Sid Perry.
riding a 400 Yarnaha, completed the top
three. Jeff Cannon and Rick Wallace
(Yam) were the first small-bike team to
finish . Thirteen-year-old Kenny Upp
(125 Yarn) rode 150 long miles by
himself to fmish first Solo rider.
Since Ron Burpo didn't have to
worry about cars the course featured an
incredible amount of variety. Steep
downhills, loose rock uphills, fireroads,
pavement. choppy cross-grain stuff and
a few single-file ca nyons. There 's a lot
of difference between desert racing and
off-road racing.
The entries amounted to 25 teams in
the Pro class and about 30 entries in the
Semi Pro class. Which apparently is
about par for big money races such as
th is.
