DEALER INQU IRIES IN VIT ED Marshall wins Weeks 100 , ~y Bob Tarnai WEEKS , NV , A PR . 30 Charlie Ma rshall padded his Distx].~t 36 Cross Country points lead Sunday at the Weeks 100. Marshall had the hot line to the smoke bomb and th e only dust he saw during the four 25-mile loops was from lapped riders . The town of Weeks (its more like a historical landmark on th e roadside) was 'on ce a remounting station for the Pony Express , and with a State Park ca m pgrou nd a nd over 40 ,000 acres of BLM land nearby, (d on 't forget to wr ite those desert closure lettersl) th is area is well sui te d for a fam ily week end. The run to the bomb went ac ross a dry lake bed that was once part of a ncie nt Lake Lahonton. Aft er th e bomb there was a sa n dy' road with lots . of whoops, T his section saw Ray Hinson's d ay end ab ru p tly after he a nd another rider tangled in th e bumps. T his prompted some recognit ion to Rea ct for the use of th eir time , manpower and equipment. It makes the desert a little less lonely, knowing th er e are fou r-whee l drive units with CBs close a t hand . Just before th e road open ed up th ere was a fifth gear ju m p t ha t made me feel like Larry Roeseler looks. WOWI T he n th e course went on through some m ud puddl es, a nd ou r-to som e op~n sp aces with a wide open San Jos e MIle sweeper that led ou t past two well marked road crossings and on to a t ra il f.:illof rocks . " -At the top of the next hill , t":'o bundled -up checkers (it started to ram and the wind was blowing like 60mph) . marked cards and sent you ' on you r way downhill . The way ba ck -showed some of the clubs humor (a , Quiet Hospital Zon e sign on an engine-killing downhill) and some of th eir imagination by using a couple of neat sections of washtype trails to get back to a long top' gear road along the base of the . mountains that put you in welcome sigh t of the pits for gas, liquids, bandaids and out for another loop . Yellow plate 14, Charlie Marsha!l, wheelied h is Husky CR p ast the p.ts with hard-charging Randy T eel doing th e same . R andy was flying till a flat slowed him down to third . Mark Jones gra bbed second and the winner of th e Doyle Cross Country race, Conrad Sti tser , was fourth . Bill Onga pulled a come-fro m behind win in th e Old Timers class and J erry Ketchum led a large group of Vet Nov ices to th e fin ish . John Borrows and Rick Ramsey took th e Vet Expert and Amateur class es respectivel y, whil e Jenni Miles got the Powder Puff brass. . Randy Osb orne a nd J eff Km g were t h e top two 250cc Novices and Hemilene W icks rode with the guys and finished with only Bob Hy lton , second, a nd Mik e Williams, first , in front of her. This event was a first time effort thrown by th e Cro ss Country Associ ation with eight m embers and lots of volunteers. They gave 30 % trophies and nice finisher pins and gave a desert rider a good tune-up for Virginia City. Resu lts VET EX 1. John Bo rrows ; 2. Ron Keeping. : VET AM : 1. Rick Ramsey. VET NOV : 1.

The W inston Drag times were running behind the tree lights for the four-wheel lovers . and CMC m otocross on an all new track. Two h undred and fifiy-eight rid ers jammed in for practice with th e showoff first lap led out by Movin' Marty. It was a long program and ran well into the wee hours. Th e riders were especially understanding.

Pa t ca ugh t the lead from the gate. but slid out on a new right hander. By th e time he dusted his lea th ers he was passed by E~ledge, wh o went on for the m oto win . Jacobson took command of rnoto two and put th e win up for th e overall. A busy guy Pat 'was, overall winner with aces in both 125cc Pro and Open Pro classes for a lion's share of the money. Cory Klaudt (Kaw) put a spark up for Kent Kawaski in the rugged I25cc Junior division. With enough riders gathered to hold their own race , the bikes were divided in to three heats and only the top six went to the main for the CMC slots . Klaudt didn't have any trouble with a win in division one heat. Cory Rot off in . the right pos ition in the main , but second moto winner John Christian, Jr. (Suz) was lo cked up in the back. Heat three winner Marty Plumb (Suz) did a mid-start , pushed up to th ird at th e flag to score just behind Scott Tyler's 2-2. Future Pros took th e spotlight in the I25cc Intermediate ac tion as T om Dougherty (Suz) eased through two wins for th e over al l. Tim Davis , J r .
