A m ateur Brian Eck tries a fears o m e rock sectio n in a C.A.T. trials. Foyout-foxes C.A. T. Trials competition By John Williams REATA PASS. AZ. SEPT. 10 Central Arizona Trials Expert Tom Foy showed why he is number one by winning the season opener and besting his nearest competitor. Steve Bigler. by 20 points. Tom said; "The only trap that gave me any trouble was number nine.'" This was a killer for all riders as it went straight up and over a huge boulder the size of a house , down into a ravine and right, turning up a hill of soft dirt that would defy a mountain goat. Trap number seven was almost as difficult , snaking up a 70 or 75 0 hill of loose rocks and dirt, in and around boulders and cactus. with an almost vertical rise at the top . John Ruggles, usually riding non trophy. showed number one Amateur rider Dan Williams how to do it. Getting around the combination Expert-Amateur traps , John Ru ggles ended up with only 67 points. with , Dan Williams coming in second with 79 points. Ace of the Novice class. Dave Finley won with 42 points, which put him into ' the Amateur class for the next Trials. ' But he couldn't wait . so he rode Amateur in the afternoon and finished sixth. All the riders were of equal opinion; all the tra ps were very challenging. Reta pass is one of the favorite areas for the C .A . T . members . Trap number 10 was a sure stopper for the spectators, going up and over a granite boulder approximately 20 feet high and 30 feet in diameter. Part of the trap required riding alongside of the boulder on about a 45 0 angle for about 15 feet , then turning off camber to the 'right up and over to the gate. Number four was also a goodie with a line going through narrow passage ways then left tum and up and over a boulder the height of the cycles standing on end. Pretty Patty Giemsoe, Semi-Novice , with only 43 points lost, came close to ousting Kerry Dare with 41 points for first place. Tom Roydon came in third with 45. The largest class. which included a number of new riders , was the Beginners. George Naidl showed them how it is done by turning in only seven dabs. Norman Whinnery and John Jackson both had 20 points and eight cleans and had to go to the ones to find out that Norman came out best man. Mark Carter on his new Bultaco touched 42 times on his very first Trials ride to take the Junior Beginner class. This also earned him a quarter page story and picture in his area newspaper. • Results EXPERT: 1. Tom Fay 28 IBull; 2. S'""e Bigl.. 48 ISuz); 3. Bebe Sarver 64 IBull ; 4. Ron Seum B2 IBull ; 5.
