os Gatos kudos A well deserved congratulations oes to the Los Ga tos M.C. who put n a tru ly outstanding hare scramles at Hollister Hills SVRA on March 4. The Pubic Hare is by far the best ross cou ntry race at Ho ll ister for oth origination (sic) an d course ayout. The L.G.M.C. must really work ard to cu t all of those new trails: os t clubs who p u t races on at the pper ra n ch usually run the same o ld eat-up fire roads . This year, there will be four hare crambles at H o ll ister, and this racer onders why some of th e clubs don't .ry to find n ew areas to race. It seems :0 me two races a year a t this faci lity is .he rig ht number. - < BIG KAWASAKI FACTORY SPRING CLEARANCE SALE! THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY-APRIL S-9-1~11 .

Everyone deserves l second chance, so I p honed on vlarch 13,a nd th e recorder said, " Rain rr shine, we will run." So I drove th e iour and 15 min utes to Carnegie to ind th at the o the rs that had dri ven to he track were ret urning beca use the ace was cancelled ...d ue to rain? Or :o u ld it be tha t due to the small turnru t there wou ld be no profi t? It is my m de rsta nding tha t Carnegie a lso :ancelled a race th e prior week .
