Voices A CLASSIC RACE•••A GREAT WEEKEND! (Continued from page 57) Saddleback Well. it seems as if Ronald M. Hooven has already wrillen o[f Saddleback Park with no prospects of re-openin~. I myself wrote a letter to Mr. Hooven in October reg-ardin~ Saddleback Park and receivedanexact duplicateofwhal Alan R. Isley, President of the Motorcycle I nd us try Council. received as printed in Voices (Cycle News, December 12). Mr. Hooven must have already hundreds of the letters which I and Mr. Isley received because many of my friends have re(:rived duplicates also. It was a sad note when addlcback Park closed and I know that there are thousands of moto-enthusiasts includin~ myself who have not taken this lyin~ down. I grew up with Saddleback Park just over the hill from where I live and miss it more than anythin~. I used to go out to Saddleback after school on the weekdays to practice on its very-demanding motocross track for the weekend raci ng which always seemed to attract the top professionals. Saddleback Park has held many races, not just weekend motocross, but AMA National motocross, NMA World Mini Grand Prix,theCZ World Championships, the National FourStroke Championships, Baja Cross off-road racing, hilL limb events, speedway, world class observed trials. But mo t of all, Saddleback Park was the hean and blood of motocross. We can't let addleback die. GREG REEDER Santa Ana.

Quite often I go i 1110 motorcycle shops and I see silicone spray sitting on the lubricants rack gathering dust as if people don't know what to do with il. Here are some tips to help you use silicone spray. I. Waterproofing electrical system and eleclrical wiring. On an older bike Wilh a cracked or dry wiring harness. spray on silicone spray and rub it into the material. Not only will it waterproof but also bring the rubber rna teria I back to Ii[e. 2. For weather stripping and seals inside saddle bags and scoolboots. Spray on silicone spray, wipe it in and keep seals fresh and pliable. 3. As a cable lube. The new cable with Teflon and plastic linings will not stand up 10 the solvents in light lubricants such as WD-40. Silicone Spr.lY is an excellent material for cable lubrication. 4. Selling or working on din bikes or ATVs? Spray silicone up under the fender on the tank and in the wheels. Then after sinking your vehicle in the mud, wash itdowlI with a garden hose and the mud jusl .falls off!! 5. Got a problem with bugsgelting slUck to c'verythill~?
