M N DOUBLE HEADER AT SADDLEBACK " '" C> e, N " Cl N '" " a - U Y ou 'd run t oo if a two h eaded man w as c hasi ng y ou . By Rich Hoffman IRVINE, CAL ., April 16 , 19 72 Movies , mudh oles and mad ness took over at the CMC Motocross at Saddleback Park today. Fro m the time the gates opened t his morning you could tell it just wasn't a normal day. R umo rs had b een going around that part of a movie would be shot on location at the park this day , but who would h ave guessed t hat it was to star a two-headed man o n a motorcycle. It was really a mind-blower watching some d ude cruising aro und Saddleback with two heads. T he n the re was th e m udhole th at caused almost as mu ch excite ment. Wow, you would have tho ugh t that it was o ne of Evel's snake p its th at way so me r iders were crying. So after practice, it was bypassed and everyone was happy except for one guy wh o complained to a park employee that he spent all of h is practice lear n ing how to ride thro ugh it and now it was o ut. Now to t he madness as CMC rid ers turned ou t in reco rd nu mbers today with well ove r 300 entries, th e largest turno ut t his year at Saddleback. Sabre Pro d ucti ons (the peop le b eh ind the two-heade d man) pu t - up S100 in th e 25 0 E xpe rt di visio n today and it was Gaylo n Mosier (Mai) who made out like a bandit as h e took ho m e S 140 fo r his win ning efforts, but h e deserved every penny as he stormed to the lead in the second moto with so me of the most im p ressive riding this repo rter has seen all year. T he hard luck story o f th e day goes to second overall 250 Expert Ray ' Eierstedt, a lso on a Maico. Eierstedt actually tied with Mosier with a first and third, but by virtue of Moseri's win in the final moto, Eierstedt had to settle for second an $ 70 less at the pay window. Bruce Baron (Pen) rode to a first and a fourth to outpoint 1\1. Roth in the 125 Expert class. It was consistency that paid off in the 500 Expert eve nt as M. Anderson never won a race but came .o ut on top with two seconds. Greg Smith (Mai) and Mark Nohr (Mai) each won a moto but finished low enough in the other to give Anderson the win. It was a perfect day with 38 m o to s of good racing, a neat track, b eau t ifu l weath er and, of course, Saddleback's two-headed man. (Results on page 40) DAVIDSON GETS AMF AWARD J oh n A.
