Two Day Memorial DayMXat Bloomfield By Mel White BLOOMFIELD , CA , MAY 25-26 Dirt Riders, Inc. of Sonoma County celebrated Memorial Day and inaugurated the terrific new water system on their Bloomfield 1. o-'ICC e-e ~ Z. ().6~ 7·11 property wit h two days of the kind of mot ocross you d ream about. The new well a nd underground pipes meant that wat er was avai la ble at all times to every pa rt of the track . T he du st could be knocked do wn on any section with out stopping the ra ce and without making any muddy spots. The motos were run by time, not laps - 30 m in utes for the Experts/Juniors, 20 minutes for everyone else, plus one la p. In two days the riders here did more ra cing tha n they do on four Sunda ys elsewher e. The hard working club members who made the dream of excellent MX close to home a reality in Somona County deserve the highest praise and congratulations. This track was devel oped by a handful of private cit izens to satisfy their own need , which it admirably does , but there still ex ists a broad public need totally unmet both here and in most other California corn munities. County governments can tap the State Green Sticker fund to finance solutions to the unmet and growing recrea tional needs of their constituents. Perhaps the work of Dirt Riders, Inc. in Sonoma County will inspire them to get moving on such projects. On Sunday. the 250cc Experts and Juniors raced first , using a stagger start. Lance Ca ner on a four-stroke Honda had the holeshot and led a couple of laps before the lead went totally to Ted Cabral (Suz). Craig Schulz (Hon) holeshot the Junior portion of the moto with Wiley Craig (Suz). Berkeley White (Suz) and J im Jepsen (Yam) following. Jepsen quickly took over the lead and with White and Craig following him as the Juniors began closing the gap separating them from the Experts. By mid-mote Cabral was far ahead and Carter was still second , but Jepsen had dropped behind White and they were now running fourth and fifth overall. By the time th e whit e flag came out White and Jepsen were into th ird and fourth which became second and third when Carter apparently ran out of gas after 30 m inu tes and could n' t complete th e final lap . The second moto was holeshot by T roy Decoque on a Husky in the Expert po rtio n with Cabral second and Palmer th ird.
