It's really nice to have a dog to ride with again." John learned by accident that his famous dogs are descendants of an ancient breed called Basenji. John now holds Expert classification in the desert but while he was still a Novice, Kookie Sr. had already earned Expert with District !l7.

The Open race was the last race of the day and it was Craig Adams who took his KTM in for the win. Jimmy Odie, making his first ride on a 400cc Suzuki did his best to make it a competitive race for Adams and finished second. The 1!l5-pound Odie commented after the race. "There's JUSt not enough butt to hold that big thing down. It was a tireing race."' Also putting on impressive rides were Randy Hollenbeck, Bill Saltzman, Dan Dibb, Keith Fearing, Rusty Clarke and Paul Huffman_ The results of all five races will be tallied after Elsinore, the second of the second-part series. .~ Lawrence, Hansen, Brown fake IRCI CRC series opener By Keith Clemons ORANGE, CA, JULY 22 Five hundred eager racers jammed Saddleback Motorcycle Park for the first round of the IRC/California Racing Club Tri 34 Race series.
