Saddleback Park played host for
the Sportsman Racing Associa tion's New Year grand prix. The
start of the 1979 season was held
under threatening grey skies that
finally turned into a reality.

crowd pleasers including jerry Booth,
20 , who rides under the. nickname
"Peg,leg ." Booth, who lost his right leg
in an electrical accident two years ;
