Consequently, the riders row to put his ATC 250R well into an early lead. John Andre and George Neary fell into an immediate and fiery battle for second. David Nealy began to work his way forward, passing Andre and Neary during lap two and moving into first on lap three when the front-running Chester experienced some problems on the back course. Andre grimly held onto second but Tracey Dickson jammed the only Yamaha into third. I missed the number of the early leader of the Odyueya because of muddy number plates but it's probahly ok with him. He was piloting a very special machine which bore little resemblance to an odyuey expept that it had four wheels. It also had a humongous engine (a Maico, I'm told) which developed the most IeVfie case of indigestion I've ever seen in things mechanical. Amazingly, it would stan and run, son of, but resolutely refused to clean out. After ten minutes of wheezeing and barfmg (by the engine), the driver was forced to concede. Mike Lekich moved i.n.to his accustomed lead Odyuey pOIltlon and .remained there throughout the race. On that same lap, Steve Huger took up second but was not able to fight through traffic on what was a tight course for the three and four-wheelers. Huger had to settle for second but got a first in class. Chester's problems kept forcing him funher and funher back. Finally on lap six, he left the track for a prolonged pit stop, which included a liberal dousing with water to combat the heat. He eventually rejoined the race but was never able to make up the lost time . After the race, one of the Odyuey pilou complained that the course was too rough for Odyueya and ATVs. He refused to believe me when I told him that three years ago, CRC held desen races averaging 25 miles in length o~ some of California's more exotic terrain. and that those races often included ATVs and Odysseys. Although I covered many of those races, I only rode the courses on a bike. Perhaps some of you who raced those evenu could write in and tell the newer riders what that kind of racings involvedl m Results THREE-WHEEl CLASS 5: 1. Trecay DIckaon (Yoml. CLASS s: 1.
