or the second time this yea r, California pla yed host to two days of
off-road events, vintage style. The
site was Glen Helen OHV Park, and the
attraction was old motorcycles in competiti on. The Ame rican Historic Racing
Motorcy cl e Associ ati on (A H RMA )
sanctio ned the festivities, wh ich d rew
40 entries to the British Bike Magazine
National Tri al on Saturday, and over
200 riders on Sunday for th e Vintage
Iron N ational Motocross.
Starman Productions ran a smoo th,
well-organized trial on Saturday, round
five of AHRMA's National series. Trialmast er '''Smili n' Jim " Cameron did a
terrific job of giving riders a challenge,
as th ere w ere virtually no tie sco res,
and pl ent y of po in ts lost fro m tr icky
(but safe) turns.
Th e o nly ti e ca rne for th e win in
Modern Classic Ad van ced , wh ere tw o
riders each dropped 15 points. However , Baker sfield 's Barb ara Don Carlos
piloted her Yamaha TY175 to the most
cl ean s (26), four m ore th a n Alan
McHugh, to earn the win. Three points
back in third was Rob Bush, compe ting
in his first-ever trial aboard a beautiful
Bultaco Sherpa T.
Th e ci ty of Bak ersfi eld g re w b y
another trophy, courte sy of Steve Martin (Matchless), w ho shrugged off the
distraction of scoring sectio n six fo r
most of the day, then playing catch-up
to win Pr em ier Heavyweight Exp er t.
Ernie Stair was second in his first ride
aboard a new sho rt-s tro ke 400cc AJS,
while Pet e Ford took third wi th his
BSA Gold Star .
Matt Parsons r od e a n ex-Yr no
Vesterinen Sh erp a T to the Mod ern .
Classic Master-class victory, one point
clear of Larry Varnell (Bultaco). Mon tesa-mounted Greg Carter was third .
Th e circuit w a s fa st and s moo th
when racing began Sunday morni ng for
the CRC-promot ed motocross. Englishman Sim on Ch en ey, so n of fa mous
chassis build er ' Eric Ch eney, scored a
couple fo r th e four-strokes wh en he
ro cke ted to wins in 30+ Exp ert an d
500cc Exp ert aboa rd a trick Ch en ey
BSA B50.
Each moto showed the sheer power
of the big thumper as the pack raced up
the starting hill , with Ch eney inching
away the entire di stan ce. In the 500cc
Experts, Gr eg Carter (Ma ico 440) and
Ariz ona' s Kevin Kru gh (H us ky)
swa pped second- an d third -place finish es, with Carter earning the runnerup spot overall.
There wa s a three-w ay tie for the
ove rall in 30+ Exp ert; Chen ey' s 3-1
tally gave him the adva nt age over a
pair of Hond a Elsinores piloted by John
Greenway (2-2) and Ty Erqui aga 0 -3).
An oth er double-class victo r with
some serious horsep ower was Ch arli e
Beck, riding a Maico with a new Steve
Ad ams-built engine. Beck swe pt all four
motos of the 40+ and 500cc Intermediate classes. Second in the 21-rider 500cc
Interm ediate field was Jeff Mullins, followed by the Bult aco Pursa ng of Ed
Lowenberg. Second spot in the over-40s
went to Rich Smit h, w ith Bob Spic er
third on his new Rickman BSA B50.
Arizo na boys took home some woo d
