Jack Johnson regained the lead by first gas, followed by Hill, Harden and Welch. Glen Wischmeyer was holding on to the top 250cc spot, in fifth overall. At the second gas it was still Johnson in the lead, but the Baja 1000 winner blazed into the pits pointing to a front flat. Harden emerged from the pits in the lead, with Kevin Welch only seconds behind. Shortly after the pit Harden bailed heavily going up a hill, and "Kool Kev" Welch tOQk the lead, until he tossed his chain and sheared off the bJake rod. Johnson had barely left the pits after changing the front tire when the rear went flat, preventing him from challenging Harden. Scot motored in for the win, followed by Johnson. Hill took third overall, first 125cc. In the 250cc clas-s it was a strong three-way battle between Glen Wischmeyer, Bobby Davidson and Chuck Rush, with Bobby edging out Glenn at the finish for fourth overall and Rush behind them in sixth overall. In seventh came Welch, nursing a loose chain and with no rear brakes. Eighth overall, first Over 38 was Joe Freedom from Provo, UT.

Sampson wins Santa Claus Family enduro By Jim Bowman LUCERNE, CA, DEC. 12 . Scott Sampson rode his Kawasaki KDX250 to the overall win today at the California Racing Club's annual Santa Claus enduro to top the almost 600 riders that showed up. Sampson was the only rider to zero the course and his wife told us later that it was just one of those days where it seemed he could do nothing wrong. Sampson's only regret after the event was that he wasn't able to credit his new sponsors, Track 'n Travel KTM/Maico with the win. Sampson will have a KTM support ride through Track 'n Travel for 1983. As usual with eRC family enduros, the course was easy, but the timekeeping and speed averages were tricky. A 30 mph special test separated the better riders and a wellhidden secret check exactly three miles past check one caught the likes of Dirt Bilr.e Magazine's Tom Webb, Rick Daniels, Bob Keirns and Larry Woodruff running hot. The special test on the second loop did a pretty fair job of separating the top 10 riders. Samps0':l scored ~he only zero, there were SIX one-pOInt scores and three two-point finishes. Randy Kemp was second overall and second 250cc AA and led the onepoint scores over top 2~Occ. AA pilot Bill Fullmer Jr. and wlOOlng Open AA rider Grant Palenske (Maico West! O'Neal/Jones/Spectro/ND/KRW/ Swallow .Tire). Fullmer, who was riding his factory sponsored 200cc water-cooled Cagiva, had one of the more remarkable rides of the day as he rode without an odometer. His Cagiva did come .adequately. eq~ip ped, it's just that ItS readout lO kilometers wasn't much help. Two B riders broke the top 10 today, tying for ninth overall and turning a few heads. Dirt Rider Magazine's Bob Carpenter rode with Palenske and lost just two points on the way to the finish. Carpenter shared the Overall B honors with William Edward Cooke. Carpenter was first Open B and shared the number-two Two Man Team honors with Palenske. Cook won the 250 B class. • Results OVERALL: 1. Scott Sampson; 2. Randy Kemp; 3. Bill Fullmer Jr.; 4.
