SACRAMENTO, CA, SEPT. 27
By Larry Ulrich
After a summer's rest. the desert
riders were again in pursuit of
Oregon Motorcycle Riders Association desert points as K&S Enduro Racing of Bend put on their
IeCOIld race.
This event might have been a real
bummer had it not been for mother
nature. It had nOT rained in the Bend
area for IeVera.I months; one of the
wont droughts ever. The dust was un·
real and the trails were treacherous
with rocks hidden, under ta1cum
powder·like dust and wheel grabbing
ruts. K&.S had to file for permit with
BLM months in advance and had no
choice but to have the event on that
date. Friday night it started to rain,
raining lightly mOlt of Saturday, and
then a1m0lt all night Saturday and
Sunday morning. The sandy soil packed
down just like a beach at low tide. The
rain let up shonly after the 10 a.m.
stan and a better race could DOt be
asked for.
nus daen area 20 miles east of Bend
is adjacent to the U.S. Forest Service
land and K&.S had planned to stan the
race on BLM land, then venture south
onto the Forest land for about a 55
mile loop. With the dry conditions.
the Forest Service said no at the last
minute and K&.S had to run a shoner
course. Turned out to be a 26 mile
course run three times.
Young Brad Tumidge jumped into
the lead and it looked Iilr.e he was
going to repeat his last three overall
wins. His 495 KTM ran all right down
a real fast road only to seize just past
checlr.point two on a trail.
Joe McConniclr., riding an Open
class Husky, went on for the overall
victory. Rick McUne was second
overall and second Open rider. Cliff
Humbard was right behind. and at the
finish line he found htat he was fint
250cc Expert.
The course was very challenging
even though it was only a total of 78
miles. There was a new trail on a side
hill, a few roclr. piles, some nasty, deep
sand dunes that got worse with each
puling lap and then thoee fast sections
that toolr. their toll of pistons and
cylinders.
Old Timer Expert Denny Olson
took his fint fint place in this class.
Olson. a Maico rider, was quite proud
of his trophy and of his Maico. This
