Capt captures crown at
Checkers Hare and Hound
By Dave P. Meadows
LUCERNE VAllEY, CA,. FEB. 25
Jeff Capt was the man of the hour, persevering
through ha rsh wea ther to finish the Cheders
M.e Hare and Hound in first place.
The b anne r d ropped fo r the unsuspecting
one-loop riders at 9 a.m. and they headed ou t
onto the 44-mile circuiL On the other side of the
road, the two- loops wer e prepari ng for their
start which was to be at 9:.30.
At abou t 9:15 the tem perature plummeted and the valley was engulfed in a cloud , cutting visibility to less than 100 yards . The twoloop start was pos tpo ned from 9:.30 to 10 a.m.,
a n d at 9:30 a .m. Lucerne Valley was fully
engulfed in a snowstorm. Man y racers returned
to the pits to try to weatheiproof themselves ,
donning ski masks, heavy gloves, riding jackets,
ra in su its and, for the totall y unprepared,
garbage bags. At 10:00 a.m, the banner dropped
for the racers who would attempt two loops on
the snow-covered course. Leading the parade at
the bomb was Vet -ela ss racer Abe Bau mann,
followed by Paul Krau se, Eric Hallgath, Stev e
H engeveld, a n d Billy Fullmer on h is fo u rstroke. FIrst Amateur ride r was Tom Finch . The
Novice start was led by Charlie Powell Ill, who
seemed unaffected by the falling snow as h e
sped by the bomb.
The Checkers decided to hal t the race after
just one loop as the temperature co n tin ued to
drop. "This turned out to be a w ise decision, as
all the racers were having troyble negotiating
the course under such severe Conditions. Major
problems resulted from cold hands and p oor
visibility.
In the end it came down to who could reach
