Davis ~ founder of Ter rycable - and the rest
of his class started on the sa me line as the "kid s"
in the Vet Expe rt div ision. Leading the pack into
turn one was Vet Expert Brad Mcleod, followed
by Calif orn ia Racing Club's number-o ne- plate
hold er Leo Saul. Da vis was next with Randy
Titlem ier, jack Rolen and the rest of the la rge
Senior class in tow.
As the rid ers cleared the step-up leading into
a triple roll er , Sau l made hi s only bid for the
lead when h e trie d to jump past McLeod . It
rrught' ve wo rked except for the fact that he also
ca rried the extra speed in to the comer, forcin g
him to the outside of the berm and leavi ng the
inside line ope n for Mcleod.
As the ride rs beg an their trek into the back
section, McLeod had already opened up some
bre athing room on Saul , and by the tim e the y
reappeared fr om th e ca ny o n , McLeod h ad
pu lled out of the Yamaha rider's sight. Davis
was a strong third until he stalled his KX250 in
the tight hairpi n corner leading up to the scoring- tower chicane.
Rolen took advantage of thi s and motored
by, but Davi s wa s u nd er power before los ing
more position s. Davis quick ly closed the gap on
Rolen, bu t get ting by the Yamaha rider proved
to be more of a challenge. For the next three laps
the t w o battled ba ck a nd fo rt h; w ith Davis

Krause quick at Dirt Diggers
Winter Hare Hare Scrambles
By Matt Freeman
RED M
OUNTAIN, CA, DEC. II
Pau l Krause and his KXSOO sailed to an easv win
at th e Dirt Diggers M.C. Win te r Hare~ ha re
scra mb les at the Red Moun tain OHV area.
The eigh th annu al Winter Hare, which is trad itiona lly held under moist conditions, was the
last event o f the year for the A.'AA District 37
racing series. Nearly 250 riders show ed up to
ba ttle the d ust and to collect crucia l, year-end
po ints .
The Dirt Diggers laid out a Sa-mile loop that
cove re d hill s, ro cks, h igh-speed ro ad s, sand
was hes and lot s of virgin terr ain . Dus t turned
ou t to be a major factor in the event also.
"We get rain almost every year for our race,"
said Tom Hammond , the dub preside nt. "1 was
hopi ng for more than just so me sp rin kles last
nigh t, but I guess not."
At the start, Krause and his Kawasaki teammate Rex Staten crested the top of the mile-long
uph ill bom b running neck and neck on their
0!Vn separate trail s. Howe ver, by the time the
two hot lines filtered down to one, Krause was
in front of the hard-charging Staten.
"1 was right on Krause's rear whee l afte r the
bomb," said Sta ten, who had alread y sec ured
the District 37 number- on e Vet plate in ea rly
No vember. Aro u nd the second chec k. Krau se
threw up a rock, and it brok e my gas filter. My
bike sta rted boggi ng do wn , so I had to stop and
cut the overflow hose from the gas tank and use
it as a gas line. Six or seven guys passed me
while I was stopped ."
One rider that p as sed St at en wa s
RUTS I Rocket Re x Racing-b acked Abe Ba u mann, wh o ironically was Staten 's main competition for the Vet Open Expert class .
As Krause finished the first lap and left the
pits to complete the second, he had opened up a
one-min ute lead over Baumann. In less than an
hour Krause completed his second lap on the 34mil e loop, taki ng the win . The Team Green l

I Sidi I Pow er Bar I Brid ges ton e I Tsubaki I Su nstar/lMS/ Ccet-spo nsored rid er finished the 68mile race in jus t under an hour and a half with
no setba cks.
" I wa s first a t the bom b and had a really
good da y," said the ha rdly fatigued Krause after
th e fi ni sh . " 1 had a g rea t pit, a nd my b ike
worked su per. The course was reall y fast an d
