Just I Z • Freon C6-11 is ant i-foaming and By Art McNamee north of town is Sunrise Valley Cycle Park. 'Now no one would think that out here on the big dez there would be anything but sagebrush, joshua tree and jack rabbits. But there it is. big as life - a real motocross track. The desert is flat but th e track is not. There are lots of jumps and hills , turns and a couple of straightaways. The track also comes with built in whoop-de doos . . Saturday was motocross school day. 1 understand it was a good class with lots of riding tips , but when I became the proud owne r of a new alternator, regulator, battery, etc. , r was only eight hours late for class. On Sunday there were three motos so everyone had lots of racing and a chance to make up for mistakes made in one moto . Movin' Marvin Olsen got lost in the first Masters' moto, Ron Miller didn't even slow down to look . He led gate· to-wire . However, Olsen came back in the next two motos for .the overall win . In the Senior Expert class Ken Williams and Chuck Woody battled it out with the lead changing like a woman's mind. Ken hung in to win the moto, but Chuck was the day's winner. New Expert Ray Sanchez did it to the Experts. He got the ' lioleshot , crashed, did a front wheel landing and won. Manny Dauber's bike seized, but till then he was moving! Bill Bird flew in for a second place. Sanchez held on to win overall, ahead of ' you rs truly and Bird. . Tom Vetter and John Said went at it in the Amateur class. John held on for five laps, but Tom got by and took the lead and the win on his way to the overall. Said didn't figure in the final results and the runner-up positions went to Len Sciacco and George Meyer. In the Novice class, Gene Uebelhardt showed up to dominate the first moto. Dan Kawashina, Dan Harris and Wayne Powell were nip and tuck all around the track. As the checkered flag waved, it was Kawashina, Harris and Powell in that order for second through fourth , Harris kept going through the next two motos to take the overall win. > o • One year fa ctory warranty 1: 0 ~ . , J SR EX: 1.

Pete Hames has got to have one oj the fastest 250cc Yamahas around and has picked up a good sponsor in Bill's Pipes. The first head to head duel came in the Money short track where Ross Klatt, a rider on his way up, got the jump on Hames off the line. Chris Cannon was third and Bobby Garabedian , sporting his new Pro number , fourth . It didn't take Hames long to find his groove as he came low out of four and slipped under Klatt to take over the lead by the second lap. Garabedian did the same thing to Cannon and moved to third. Klatt gave Hames a run for his money but was unable to catch him and had to settle for second. Garabedian held off Ca nnon to take third. ')'I"he 250cc Money half mile was almost an insta n t replay of the short track only this time Hames took the leadlfrom the start with Klatt second, Garabedian third and Cannon fourth . Aithou gh there was no place changing the racing was very close with good defensive riding on the part of everyone. nW ayne Rainey led the troops on a merry chase in the Open Money half mile and the guys were hard put just to keep him in sight. Don Waffle, still gftting used to his new 750cc , came off the ' line second but Danny Perkins slipped under him and locked in behind Rainey for the duration . Waffle held Scott Shoup at bay to pick up third. Dave Peters continued his domination of the Open Amateur/Expen class but it was not without its moments. Off the line for the heat race there was a chain reaction crash in~the first turn that took three riders out. Luckily everyone was able to return to the line just a little worse for wear and Peters went on to claim the win. In the main Peters was dialed in and got a super drive off the stan. Riding buddy Steve Eldredge locked in behind him and Don Waffle claimed the third. Waffle found a hole and got . by Eldredge but time ran out before he could get a bead on Peters and he settled for the second. Double wins were scored by Randy Howard in the 250cc Novice and Jimmy Rosa in the 125cc class. Jimmy Snow came about as close as you can in the Mini division but went down on the last lap of the short track which left the door wide open for Roger Thompson riding a Yamaha made up of every spare pan he had. Snow did win the half mile going away. .. 7uu:l 'n 7uwet, 1U,U B3 E. Cokndo· IIIvd. ,...,... CA t1107 213-795-2711 . 120 W.Cypnu Ave. Bu"'_, CA81502 21 3-845-71 6 1 .35'
