Three-Wheeling Rodeo By .John Miller WAUSAU, WI, OCT. 2& By 11 a.m: the first ThreeWheeling Rodeo was about to kick off, even though there was still snow on the ground from the two inch fall the day before. Three surrounding dealers - M&J Sports, Inc. (Honda), Nonhrider, Inc. (Yamaha) and Safari Sports (Kawasaki) - decided to get together and sponsor a Three-Wheeling acitivity, not just one event, but four events. The Rodeo was held on a fonner landfiD site which had been appropriately plotted out for each event. The majority of the 80 acres consist of sand and water. The first event to start off was the sand drag race. A total of three Junior classes would be run, 0-110, 111-200cc and 201-0pen. The drag course was about 200 feet long with several small bumps in the course, to make things more interesting. After the drags were completed, round two of four events toolt place. The pulling contest was a contest that called for a homemade skid, which measured about three feet to six feet with a metal bottom, and a heavy-duty chain being also used to hoolt on to the three·wheelen. The course started on ~ ~ w~ (l'adua~!~cre~ uphill. Bob Schult was the winner in the 1l0cc class. Bob pulled the skid, plus four cases of soda, almost to the top of the hill. In the 111·200cc class, Allen Weinkauf on a Honda pulled 15 cases of soda about halfway up the hill. It turned out to be a very popular event with the four·stroke machines; however, in the Open class, the two· stroltes had problems because of gearing. In the Open class, Dave Staszalt cleaned house with his home· made XL5&0 three·wheeler. Next event up was the Wheelie Contest in which they had the riders start their machines rolling on a flat sandy surface, lifting the front wheel at the marked area. The riders eventuaIly croued a small creek, a slight incline and finally up a rough hill with ruts. In view of the difficulty of the course, very few riders completed the section. Joe Ludwig ended up winning two of the cIaSIICS on an ATC70 and ATCI8&s. The main event of the day was the Scrambles or MotOCl'OlS race. It captured the mOlt attention of the 66 entries. The trad. for the fourth event consisted of sand and water (mostly water). Throughout the day, the water in spots varied from six to I & inches deep; to say the least, everybody racing got extremely wet. With temper' atures dropping from an afternoon high of 4& degrees it got plenty cool. There were even heat races· in each .class, with the biggest class being the 1l1-200cc which had two semi·fmal races and then the final. The 2&Occ class was, of course, the fastest, you should have seen the mud and water flying. Dean Scidmore from Schofield, WI, ended up the winner riding a new '81 Honda ATC 2&OR. In view of the fact the weather' was not the greatest, the spectaton' comments were very favorable and of course the enthusiasm and the glow on the entrants' faces said it all for our fmt annual Three·Wheeling Rodeo.
