Patric k's Day .weekend . It is a mind-blower. Every small-bore specialist and a lot of big bike riders from California and points east seems to be entered. Maybe the thou for first has someth ing to do with it. That should be some racing as everybody's tu ner tries to get the last fraction of horsepower out of those Iittle engines. We see that Greg Robertson , Bill Grossi , Larry Watkins, Rex Staten, Ch uck Bower, Bryar Holcomb, Ken Zahrt and John Rice managed to get both a ride and the entry fee together and that's just a portion of the "name" riders. It will be interesti ng to see how the out-of-staters do.
