Lucerne Valley - Red Mountain - Plaster City - Searchlight - Sidewinder Road - SuperstitIOn Mountain - Jean - Rand Mountains - Lucerne Valley - Red Mounta Desert Hotline Palenske best at CRC Roadrunner family enduro By Jim Bowman RAND, CA, OCT. 17 Maico West/O'Neal/Jones sponsored Grant Palenske lost just one minute and 82 seconds today at the California Racing Club's Roadrunner family enduro and was the only rider to finish with a one point score. Palenske, also sponsored by Spectro, ND spark plugs, KR W helmets and Swallow tire, took the win over Yamaha-mounted Bill Fullmer Jr., who motored his 175cc bike to second overall, just one second ahead of Dirt Bike magazine's Tom Webb. The 1982 Roadrunner enduro turned out to be challenging to both expert and novice level riders. Course designer Larry Langely worked hard to please everyone and it really paid off. Webb said after the event, "This is one of the best that CRC has had; it was definitely the best first loop they've run. I hope they keep getting better." The first loop of the enduro used lots of easy trail and very little fireroad.. The single-loop riders wet.:e challenged by a 24 mph trail section, while the two-loop pilots were challenged on the second loop with a 36 mph special test through rolling hills and rocky trails. A special treat on loop two was a winding rocky downhill that was run during free time at 6 mph. Because it was run in free time, the better riders were free to boogie, while the beginners had a chance to ride safely, without the pressure of trying to stay on time. Family participation at the CRC enduros is high and it seems some people won't let anything get in the way of their competition. For example, consider the case of John Barnett and Mary Roger. This couple stopped at the Outpost on the way to the enduro, were married and woke up early the next morning to ride the event! Another family happening at the Roadrunner was the top Parent/Child team effort of Fullmer and his father Bill Sr. Sean and Harry Keast were the top Parent/Child team in the category where one teammate travels one loop and the other two, and Greg and Debbie. Newland were the top Husband/Wife team. Topping off the first loop action were three riders who all scored zero points. Todd Johnson won the first loop overall with a score of one second, while Kathy Herndon scored just 22 seconds to edge Shauna Hopkins by six seconds for the loop one runner-up honors. • Results OVERALL: 1.
