part of the problem Another problem area Se__ahurst Washington is there are too many races in a calendar year Pro CanAm The 1984offroadraceseason sources we need such as promoteseighte vents Washing is fast coming to cl close At this spectator money an effective ton Off Road does five races time the officers of Pro CanAm contingency program or even Wes tern Off Road organizes Racing would like to thank the provide course and equipment seven events the Boomerang and hundreds of people who have improvements We have always Kamloops do three or four and supported us this year as well as offered a wide range of classes the group in the Tri Cities area the previous two years Thank and prices to entice all racers to had one or two last year That is you workers racers families participate to ensure a large field 24 to 26 races that we know of crews and all the individuals and but it doesn t seem to be an maybe there are more Who businesses who have donated working We have an excellent do we think we are kidding That time money and products to crew to handle everything from is too many races for our help make the races successful tech scoring race control and population number of active Than ks to the land owners the even tow rigs We have people cars money we have to spend government officials everyone out there who spend a lot of their and so on There is not o ne racer who has helped make the time making your race safe in this area who could afford this program go including those who There is only one thing missing kind of schedule This is obvious have attended every event and Enough cars to make the classes juSt in our events the occasional racer who competitive and afford a lot of Another sore point here that participates whenever possible prize and contingency money is needs discussing is EXCUSES A special thanks to all missing We have worked We hear how the race should In spite of all this I feel I must overtime to acquire a race series have been run where it should stand on the proverbial soap box sponsor but it doesn t go very have been that it was too muddy to share a few words and far when they find out how short or had too much dust too many observations I have been our entry list is and how small rocks and all that We hear how involved in off road racing since our attendance figures are many turns there should be on a 1972 as a crew member Thereareonlyafew veryfew short course that there are too owner driver and now promot who arewillingtocooperatewith many jumps that the jumps are er I feel totally qualified to offer the few demands we put on too high or too low and more an evaluation of off road racing competitors The biggest about the course We hear that in our northwest area Tobevery demand is pre registration If it the cost is too high or too low honest it stinks There are seems like an old story it is We that there are not enough cars approximately 350 to 400 need early registration for very that he wouldn t let me pass and raceable vehicles in Washington obvious reasons cash up front on and on Oregon Idaho and British to pay expenses that must be paid Sometimes part of these Columbia but we are lucky to in advance Remember we are comments and complaints are get 40 entries for a major event operating as a non profit valid and we always welcome The only conclusion is that we organization and we are in no feedback so we can improve our have nothing more here than a danger of losing that classifica program We are not so naive hobby sport I do not mean that tion We need advance that we think there is no room f r_o ad racing as a hobby is bad registration to provide confi for improvement but let s make 1t 1s Just not what we are trying to dence that we are going to have constructive com men ts not do enough entries to meet expenses _bitches and maybe even pitch in Pro CanAm Racing was and provide a payback and to do to help Most negative comments formed solely for the promotion the little things like print and come from the same people no of full time professional racing distribute a program so potential matter what the conditions are to develop our sport as it should spectators can anticipate seeing they have always come from the be and to reward those who something if they show up and same pe_o ple and hey have a lot compete on a regular basis pay for a ticket To those of you to do with stagnatm the _growth Before you misunderstand we who are faithful in this we thank of off road racmg m the will always welcome and have a you I know some promoters in Northwes _Let us_all show a little place for the budget racer this area do not require pre more posmve attitude and help However the way it is now we registration But remember in make the sport r o w cannot develop the revenue these races you are fillers On the posltlve side Pro CanAm will be promoting races in 1985 with some changes We intend to offer an attractive The First Anniversary Issue of program for the

Check the details on page 25 CHEVROLET AT INDY A joint venture leading to th e production of a new Chevrolet Indy engine was announced by Chevrolet and the new venture also includes race team owner Roger Penske and a British engine building firm Ilmore Engineering of Brixworth England This project is to test theories about the transfer of high performance technology to mainstream production engines A Chevy spokesman said We know we ll be asking engines in tomorrow s production cars to do more with less more work less mass and smaller displacement Under the plan Chevy engineers will be assigned to Ilmore and they will have access_to GM _technology and facilities particularly those relating to aerodynamics lubricants and test analysis The new engine is one of the first such powerplants designed from the ground up as a turbo and it will be the first Chevrolet engine designed exclusively for the PPG Indy Car World Series Chevrolet said the engine project would not affect the division s support of its naturally aspirated push rod V 8 and turbo V 6 engines in Indy car racing as well as in SCCA IMSA and NASCAR venues Look out for a screamer in the modified mini truck sho

additive but mixes with and uses the crankcase oil to carry its unique ingredients to metal surfaces It has been race tested and proven to produce longer engine life and reduce frictio n SCIDA has

40th birthday they lost all their water Now unknown to Michie Well there was an ice chest in the truck so they dumped the Malcolm had been doing some water from it into the radiator arranging When they arrived in and covered a few more miles Acapulco and got to their room But then the water ran out and it was gaily decorated for the they still hadn t reached the occasion and there were 30 of

tour for their friends including their rooms at the Las Brisas a tour of the city a boat trip and the surprise birthday party for Michie Nice man Incidentally Malcolm with his win at the Frontier 500 seems to have a tight hold on the race for the HORA overall points title If Vinje and his co driver Mark Hansen do win it will be the first time since 1978 when Doug and Don Robertson won the HORA series that a Class 5 team will have won an overall points race There s just one event the Frontier 250 to go Speaking of Mark Hansen we were pleased to note that Mark was co driver in the winning Class 5 car at the Frontier 500 while iis father Leroy co drove to a win in Class 5 1600 with Bob Knight Congratulations to both the Hansens for their wins it must be a nice feeling And speaking of

City it was hot and dry for the Labor Day 12 Hour but a total of 47 teams showed up to try for the maximum amount of laps in 12 hours time Sad to say none of the 6 50 drivers got an official finish In fact Howard H jelm did not record a lap in his Class 2 entry but he gets starting points anyhow Clark G illies and Steve Ooley had no lap times showing either in their Class 10 entry Clark was the overall 6 50 champion in 1982 Dick and Kay Young were doing very well in the ten car field in Class 10 which is C in AMSA While they had trouble on the fourth lap they got running well again and completed six laps with excellent times then vanished from the charts Dick garners only the starting points too Moving on to the SNORE 250 staged on ragged bits of the Mint 400 course this year another trio of 6 50 drivers were on hand Failing to make even one of the four rugged laps was J Duncan Brown Doing much better in fact leading Class 4 after three laps was Vern Roberts with Bill Donohoe codriving the Jeep Honcho But the report was that the Jeep was stuck in the infamous dry lake and it failed to come around at all on the fourth lap Doing the best of all but doing it the hard way was Frank Snook in Class 1 with Eric Arras co driving the McDonald s Raceco Snook got lost in the dust on the first lap and had to retrace the route got running again in good shape only to lose a wheel Arras did the last two laps and was picking up time when the engine fell out on the ground which cost first place However with aid from the chase crew and a come a long Arras brought the Raceco in second in the eleven car class The result put Frank Snook in even more of a lead on overall 6 50 points for 1984 Through the SNORE 250 Frank Snook has amassed 181 points The Frontier 500 results have not yet been tabulated for 650 points They will be on tap next month as the series winds down with the final two events the SCORE Barstow Classic and the HORA Frontier 250 Holding strong in second on 650 points is Class 2 driver Danny Letner whose second at Parker and third at the Fireworks provide him with 130 points Bill Howard Class 8 was third before the Frontier 500 with 115 Dusty Times points and his strong fourth there will probably move him into second However Vern Roberts and company finished second in Class 4 on the Vegas to Reno run so they too could be second heading into the December races that wrap up the 6 50 schedule Tune in next morith Rounding out the top spots before the Frontier 500 are Bob Renz 98 points Cal Wells Jr 94 and Marshall Mahr 91 Mahr is bound to move up also as the 60 year old Jeep driver won Class 3 in the long point to point race in Nevada Another one moving up as a fmisher in Dayton is Jack Irvine the Class 10 driver holding 79 points going into October Clark Gillies added a little to his total at Cal C ity to hold at 76 poi nts followed by Len Newman 68 J Duncan Brown 63 and Dick Young 62 Filling out the top 15 of the more than SO

Pony Express Here is my one year subscription to Ousty Times I would like to thank you for your good coverage of our S O D A and Berrien Autocross Series Keep up the good work and thanks again I agree with Jim with proper promotion and marketing desert off road racing can become a viable motorsport in everyone s eyes television etc because desert off road racing is where fr all began and it is still the most exciting for racers and spectators alike Dick Metz Rhinelander WI I just read the excellent Soap Box editorial by Jim Short in your October 1984 issue Although Jim states things that many of us have been saying for years he gets them all down in a concise succinct way His mention of Bill France and NASCAR prompted me to write because of another feature of off road racing that is often bandied about as a problem I have often heard from many sources that desert off road racing will never be viable in the future because it is confined to the southwest and Baja and that is why short course or stadium racing is the way of the future I disagree with that prognosis as does Jim and I like to cite the fact that NASCAR is primarily confined to the southeast and yet has grown to be one of the premier forms of motorsports in the U S today u 1 HERE succe_ss on your paper and I hope it is around for many years to come Brent V Martin Burnaby B C Canada The October issue is on its way along with a sub form Brent Canadian subscriptions are 15 00 a year in US funds Thank you and our other correspondents for your kind words about Dusty Times accomplish the sam_e goals I wonder if these people today are concerned enough to sit down together and do something about it today Tom Copper Alpine CA We well remember the early efforts and the forerunner of the Rough Driving Committee which was the R C C rep at desert races Only time will tell if unity can come out of all the talk but a look at the 1985 calendar listings does indicate that the excess of races in the southwest will be with us again in the coming season Thanks for the complimentary copy of the September issue of Bill Sanders Dusty Times Enclosed is a check Associate Publisher for 12 months more I hope my Four Wheeler Magazine subscription can begin with the Canoga Park CA October issue which is to carry a story about the Crandon The magazine is great I never We agree with Jim Short also Wisconsin Brush Run

for Arcadia CA W arid Championships in it years in the past through Best wishes for continued O R C A and R C C to Blush Blush r vAS r I would like to address this letter not only to my fellow members of the Checkers Off Road Racing T earn but to all racers friends supporters and fans of desert off road racing Sal Fish President of Score International was at a recent meeting of our Checkers club Sidetracked from his initial purpose of telling us that the Baja 1000 would be in Baja hey he came to the subject of how we might bring more money to the sport He was avid on one idea that we as true desert rats can do a lot to help ourselves For the media to realize that we are out there and what we go through to be out there we have to tell them ourselves If a promoter goes to a media person and says I am putting on a race you should come out and cover it The media guys say why should we Who is going to watch it or read about it So what we end up with is a major manufacturer coming up with OUf IN FRON v fH A 30 INUf LEAD ON n E NE f CAR N0 HJN6 BU CLE AR D SE Rf Al lEAD OF E ALL OF A SUDDEN B A ROD LETS oH the money to cover the sport and something like a Dawn to Dust Nissan advertisement I am behind companies advertising the sport but we cannot ask them to do that and then expect them to give us money too We as the desert race supporter fan have to let these media people know that there is an audience out there They need figures they can show the sponsors when they present the bill for covering a Frontier 500 or a Baja 1000 They also need to know what to cover editorially Do you remember your first off road race I do I went to the Cal 400 where it almost snowed I was entranced by the people and mystified by the race cars I had no idea what was going on especially when the peopie near us said the car they just pitted was in first place I alrel dy knew that the car had been lapped by the first car but it was in a different class which I didn t know So it goes with the media people They don t really know what is going on and we all act like well why don t you know We must all write letters make phone calls and let these people know how big a sport desert racing really is and how much bigger it could be If you would like to help I have a list of media names and addresses I will send you Tell them who you are and that you would like to see them cover desert races Make it personal It does make a difference Let s keep our racing alive by starting at the best place we have ourselves Nels Lundgren 1038 Harvard St Santa Monica CA 90403 We have

from Michigan did not make it through the silt to the first check and that would have been a good bet The Madison Chevy vanished from the charts later on Larry Schwacofer and Sid Spradling won another Class 6 title going all the way to Dayton in just over 16 hours Only three were on the line to contest the Class 7 honors At Check 1 Mario Alesi came through first about ten minutes ahead of Manny Esquerra But Alesi s Nissan apparently stuck in gear at the checkpoint stop and it had to be pushed to his pit Reportedly the Nissan got rolling again then had front end troubles at Check 3 got fixed again but did retire later in the game Meanwhile Manny and Tudy Esquerra set a hot pace in the Ford Ranger had no serious trouble and rolled into Dayton in a quick 12 50 the winner for the third year running in Class 7 and they were a quick 25th overall really impressive on the tough course that is tougher for the late starting classes The dozen starters in Class 7S dwindled away quickly in the first legs Well ahead of the pack after 51 miles was Willie Valdez in his freshly painted Ford Ranger His major competition Spencer Low Paul Delang Nissan was reportedly stuck in the silt but they did get rolling after an hour down time Tom Peltier and Bob Klingenberg got the 2 WO Jeep CJ 8 through Check 1 in good time but faded from the scene later on While most of the field was out by nightfall a hot race developed between Valdei and Low Low closed the gap to the front runner to just 23 r p inutes at Gabbs But on the way to the checkered flag Low rolled the Nissan and did a lot of body damage The crew found the truck but they had to cut the top of the cab off to make the truck Robert K ight and LeRoy Hansen won a real battle In the 5 1600 war 29 minutes to the good at the flag a double victory for the Hansen family Leading at one time shifter problems dropped the Bug of Dan Naylor and Max Razo to third at the flag in 5 1600s and they were happy to finish road w orthy Meanwhile Willie Valdez was in Dayton the Class 7S winner in a fine time of 15 47 Low got rolling probably a little sideways but he finished second and last in class with about 2Q minutes left on the time a lowaru e Class 5 has shrunk to nearly nothing with only four starters at Sloan At the first check Malcolm Vinje Mark Hansen had a couple of minutes on Byron and Jo Smith and the other two were well back in the silt The Smith Bug retired at Tonopah It was a popular victory in Class 7 Sas Willie Valdez drove hard all the way to win over a dozen starters by literally hours It was a tough run for Mike Baker and Bob Scott but the Utah team kept plugging along in the Funco and finished a good second in Class 9 Page 14 and Vinje and Hansen rolled on to not only win Class 5 the only finisher but they took 20th overall on time and also consolidated their overall points lead in the HORA Desert Series The 5 1600s came out strong fot the Frontier 500 with a ga l le of 13 on the line most of them strong competitors For sure they came through the first check in a single dust cloud or so it seemed Leading the pack here on the road was the first starter Mike Lesle next came Bob Knight LeRoy Hansen Larry Las Vegans Norm Shaw and Manny Cortez clawed their way up to second among the 13 5 1600s and finished second In the close contest Starting out slow with breakage Larry Schwacofer and Sid Spradling put the old Chevy in drive and cruised into Dayton the Class 6 winners Naylor Razo the Craigs and Fersch with only 12 minutes between them all At Beatty Dan Naylor Max Razo were first on the road apparently leading on time as well with a couple of minutes in hand over the Dunns who had a fow minutes on the Craigs and Knight Hansen were about five minutes back while Fersch had fallen about 15 minutes off the pace On to Tonopah and now Knight Hansen were first on the road and on time the Dunns were next about 20 minutes back just ahead of Shaw Cortez with Fersch close Naylor Razo dropped back a good bit as their Bug kept locking up in second gear and the only cure was a stop take off the shifter plate and rattle the gears by hand At Gabbs Knight Hansen had a fine lead of half an hour over Shaw Cortez _Naylor Razo were coming back strong only a few minutes out of second place and Fersch was healthy again about ten minutes back The Craigs had dropped about half an hour When it all sorted out at the finish line Bob Knight and LeRoy Hansen roared into Kelly McDonough and her brother Dave did a terrific job in the Class 9 Funco Dayton the clear winners in and the young Las Vegas team won the class honors 15 28 Victory was sweet for LeRoy Hansen because his son Mark and Malcolm Vinje and their crew the Class 5 winners were waiting with the champagne to celebrate the double win for the Hansen family After a see saw race across the top of Nevada the pink and white Circus Circus Bug driven by Norm Shaw and Manny Cortez was second in 5 1600 about half an hour back and hap py to reach Dayton Naylor Razo had more gear changing woes and arrived third another 3 7 minutes in arrears but they were 47 minutes ahead of Todd and Tom Craig With their Bug coming unglued in the A rally car is not often an off road racer Guy Light found out near Goodsprlngs where his Olds Omega succumbed to the rough _terrain night Rich Fersch and company November 1984 and Jim Dunn and _Dan Naylor

The BFGoodrich Western Off Road Nationals By Homer Euha11k 1 Phow 1 1111 Flick Ro J t out to overtake Rick Jones loyed the fast course won two of the three heats in Class 10 in his Funco and Carter won the class honors for the second time at Tulare Where s the Jumps rang out from the back seat as we arrived in Tulare for the BFGoodrich Western Off Road Nationals It appeared there was a mistake made and someone had forgotten to install the usual monstrous jumps and bumps associated with short course racing Little did we know that we hadn t noticed a significant mound at the start finish line and the ruts and bumps were to appear later Practice started right on time and many drivers yawned then meandered to their cars to try this unusual looking short course track But talk about pumped up once they came ba k in Typical of the driver s reaction to the track was that of Ron Carter Carter was said to have cracked his helmet with an ear to ear grin when he was asked how he liked the fast track Ron knew what he was getting into though since he won the last Tulare Class 10 event Practice got really dusty so the water trucks were brought out before the combined classes of 2 and 5 were brought out Class 12 1600 also ran in this first heat with three entries On the start it was Randy Rhinehart that captured the lead from his front row starting position Dan Naylor brought his Bug from fifth into second and began pressuring Rhinehart halfway into the first lap On the second lap Rhinehart lost traction on the watered down track and Naylor managed to get by for the lead By the third lap Naylor caught the 1 2 1600 cars and started lapping them with Rhinehart still in hot pursuit By the fifth lap the dust started to rise and the racing really got hot but time ran out on Rhinehart as Naylor took the checkered Third place went to Don Kennedy and Craig Redding finished fourth i head of Ed Parmeter Mike Goodbody won the 1 2 1600 class and with Glenn Harris h d a handful in Class 1 with the giant economy size Bruckmann Porsche but he ran second all day and second on the points said his leg was broken least six times in front of the It was Ron Carter that was crowd Rappa got up seemingly putting pressure o n Glenn Harris more hurt about his flat than and Tom Norris was close by anything physical Trini looking for a hole to get around Camarona went on to win the Carter Jerry Whelchel was really A TC event but was a half a lap driving hard to overco111e his behind the Yamaha cycle of Ken competition that this twelfth place starting position Nolan class offers Goodbody was and John Swift was right on his Class One unlimited took on followed by Jeff Elrod Robert tail The action remained the a new meaning as Volker Stout finished third same with attempts made at Bruckmann brought out his 300 Class 10 drew the most entries every corner and down the horsepower Porsche powered with 14 total and 14 was plenty straights Ron Carter and Glenn Funco with his secret weapon for this tight and fast course It Harris made contact over the big touting 15 inch wide rear tires was Glenn Harris that came off jump but Harris held onto the Finding a way around those tires the pole position to take the early lead Harris was doing a was Jim Fishback Jr as he pulled lead and Glenn was followed by remarkable job driving his out into the lead and went on to Bob Beetley and Tom Norris On California Gold desert car with a win the first heat Glenn Harris turn one Lou Peralta lost traction Class 10 engine and the car really who finished second was driving as Don Miguel ran under his car took to the fast course Rick Bruckmann s car and really got and left both hung up in the Jones who was running in ninth airborne over the front jump middle of the turn Due to a stood his car on its nose over the Then on the third lap a shot of concession truck sitting in the jump but managed to pull it back hydraulic fluid shot up 30 feet as infield the starter couldn t see the up without loosing his position the top of the right front shock mishap and it went unnoticed Harris went on to win but he blew off Harris had little chance This left Peralta and Miguel in knew Carter was right on his tail of catching Fishback then and the hands of two course workers Third went to Tom Norris and had his hands full keeping Fritz and a couple of photographers Whelchel finished ahead of John Kroyer from getting around in and their attempt to separate the Swift the corners These three finished two proved hazardous as the The 3 Wheel A TC s were next in that order and fourth went to pack came around for lap two with only tw9 entries and one Al Baker ahead of Rick Bower One flagman tried to warn the motorcycle ran with them Craig As the green flag went up for racers but they seemed too eager Rappa Ranells was the early the Class 2 and 5 cars second to get the inside lane causing one leader but he misjudged the small heat it looked to be a repeat of of the course workers to get jump coming out o f the big the first heat as Dan Naylor put clipped by a tire and later reports sweeper and flipped his Honda at his Class 5 buggy out front and Randy Rhinehart took second Rhinehart and Naylor were running away from the pack and began lapping the field on the third lap Naylor suddenly developed engine trouble and headed into the pits and Rhinehart was all alone for an easy victory Don Kennedy finished second and Craig Redding came around for third In Class 10 action everyone seemed to be in turn one at the same time Jerry Whelchel drove over the roll edge of John Swift as Swift pitched his Funco sideways for the corner Everyone else was bouncing off of each other and the action remained tight all Jim Fishback Jr was busy at Tulare here moving in on Gary Dillon Fishback through the second lap Then won everything in Class 1 and was second in Class 10 Ron Carter pulled ahead of Whelchel for the eventual win The California Gold teammates of Glenn Harris and John Swift were dicing for third place and Swift recent 1 1600 winner at Ri versicle managed to get around Harris until Harris repassed on the sweeper before the front stretch Fifth place Rick Jones got sideways going into turn one on lap four and threw up enough dust to hide his car but Jones held on to finish fifth Fortunate to finish at all Harris pulled into the pits and discovered his shock rod had broken off and had gone into his Centerline but the wheel was Jeff Elrod came from the north to put the Donsco 1 2 1600 up front in the iinal still holding air heat was second in the first heat and won the points With the top of the shock _ Randy Rhinehart had a good day in the Funco Class 2 winning a heat in combined 2 5 and winning the class cash on total points as well Page 10

Mike Goodbody started out fast and took top sp9t in the first 1 2 1600 battle but had to settle for second in the main and on points welded back on and no piston inside to absorb the rough stuff Glenn Harris amazed everyone by putting Bruckmann s super Porsche out front on turn one of the open class second heat Jim Fishback Jr stayed on Harris tail waiting for his chance knowing that Harris would have trouble in the corners Fishback s chance came on the straight instead of a corner and as they both came over the big jump it was Fishback that took the lead and went on to win four laps later Fritz Kroyer moved up and challenged Harris at every corner but once Harris got straight and pressed down on the pedal it was up to Kroyer to catch up Fourth place went to Al Baker ahead of Rick Bower Randy Rhinehart sat on the pole position for the Class 2 and 5 Main event but it was Don Kennedy out of turn one first with Rhinehart in hot pursuit Rhinehart jumped further over the front jump to take the lead going into lap two Dan Naylor did one lap then pulled off with engine problems Rhinehart knew he wasn t in for a comfortable drive as Kennedy and Craig Redding stayed in striking distance throughout the heat Striking distance wasn t close enough as Rhinehart won followed by Kennedy and Redding It was Jeff Elrod that put his buggy out front of the 1 2 1600 class Elrod was closely pursued by Mike Goodbody with Robert Stout in a distant third position Goodbody made sevei al attempts at Elrod but had to settle for second Putting 14 cars into turn one really gets things happening in Class 10 action The front four of Carter Harris Whelchel and Swift were elbowing one another all the way into turn one and Carter managed to shove his way to the front Harris was hot on Carter and it looked like the lead was up for grabs but Carter held on John Swift followed Whelchel into turn one of lap three and Whelchel got sideways causing Swift to jump over Whelchel s front end for third Whelchel found the gear he was searching for in the corner and caught up and got around Swift on the next lap Carter was pulling a small lead over Harris and Jim Fishback Jr was moving up through the pack Whelchel got sideways on the back sweeper and pulled off the track with a broken transmission During the confusion Swift dropped two places as Fishback and Rick Jones got by Harris caught Carter on the front Dusty Times straight to make his move and nearly had it until Carter slipped inside pushing Harris out allowing Fishback to get by Fishback put his sights on Carter but had some trouble with lapped cars John Swift moved around Fishback until he was spun sideways by Fishback on the next jump Fishback held on to second and Carter went on to win another Tulare event with Harris taking third over Rick Jones and John Swift was fourth Jim Fishback Jr jumped out the early leader in Class 1 the girls going for it That is until the flag went up On the start it was Gina Harris that jumped from third into contention for the lead with Jody Carter and Jamie Carter who were running neck and neck Harris got into the loose stuff outside turn one and the Carters exited first The Carter sisters were bouncing off one another until Jody pulled ahead Harris got going and around Janae Carter and put the move on Judy over the jump for the lead but again she went wide on turn one Gina found some traction and pulled out in between the Carter Dan Naylor put his swift Bug into the victory in the first Class 2 and 5 heat but clan and was sandwiched until he was sidelined with mechanical trouble later in the day the trio put Jamie Carter into a followed by Glenn Harris in the slowed by lapped traffic Kroyer trash barrel Just before the white Porsche powered Funco with finished third ahead of Rick flag Jody Carter caught Harris little or no front suspension Bower and Al Baker had to settle and tangled resulting in Carter almost spinning into the fence Harris felt Kroyer tapping on his for fifth Just when everyone thought It was Gina Harris taking the door for the first three laps but Harris kept the inside line and the action was over a Powder win driving her first race Let me held the power on to pull a small Puff event with seven cars was tell you this girl came over the lead Harris would use all the added to the agenda Everyone front jump just as high or higher power he could muster down the knows that short course racing han most of he guys Jody straights then muscle the car can get aggressive so most of the Carter was close by for second around the corners Al Baker was guys snickered at the thought of and third went to Kay Williams running fourth until Rick Bower found his chance and slipped by on turn two Fishback went on to a comfortable win afte Harris was oH 1

THE TOYOTA VAN By jean Calvin It has Ample Space in a Small Package 11 i Viewed from the side the van looks like a ground blimp but the shape is aerodynamic providin good handling and super fuel economy It has been on the market about a year and the Toyota Van has definitely found a slot in the all purpose transportation market It may well be the 1980s successor to the original box from Volkswagen However the Toyota offering is far fro m a box in exterior design with a wind cheating aerodynamic nose and a total shape with a low drag coefficient of 0 40 Th e aerodynamics do give the vehicle an odd and quite different look from the standard van but inside it has acres of space for either people or cargo or a combination of both Power for the van is the two liter four cylinder Toyota engine with extra urge from the electro ni c fuel injection providing 90 horsepower While two liters doesn t sound as if it could haul a laden down van around the model on test was also equipped with a five speed manual gearbox and the gearing was absolutely right for performance The van was loaded with over a half ton of copies of Dusty Times for the journey to the Frontier 500 and also the usual survival gear ice chest and luggage for a desert race plus two bodies The van climbed the steep grades between Los Angeles and Las Vegas with ease dropping only from fifth to fourth gear The performance is amazing from the small engine and it also delivers what is probably the best fuel economy available in any kind of van The Toyota averaged over 28 mpg on the highway and fell only to around 25 mpg in stop and go On the fully optioned van the dash cluster has full instrumentation two trip meters a full bore radio just over the center console ice maker The rear lift door on the van came with its own window wiper and defroster very handy in the morning mists of autumn in Neva da driving while carrying a heavy cargo load Actually when the load lightened the fuel economy only went up a few points The drive train is relatively conventional with rear drive and the engine parked between the two front seats on the van The engine is covered with the plush carpeting that covered everything o n the super optioned unit on test Engine access is limited and just to check the oil the snap in carpeting must be removed The relatively short wheelbase 88 inches and the overall leng h of 175 4 inches and 66 3 inches in width make the van a joy to slide into crowded parking areas While the tires look small they are standard size 185 75 14 Dunlop steel belted radials The ride is great on rough city streets as well as on the highway Only in severe crosswinds which plagued the whole trip to and from northern Nevada does the van get squirrely at highway speeds but so does most any truck type vehicle Power steering and brakes help the ease of driving and the big armchairs for the two front seat riders ha d myriad adjustments and were totally comfortable during three full days o n the road The second seat holds two people comfortably and the third seat will hold three more adults with ample leg room There is still some cargo area left to the rear under the full lift rear door when all the seats are installed The rear seat pops out in a minute when more cargo area is needed The van had every option in the book and a radio that had dozens of lights and knobs Front and rear air conditioners had separate controls with the rear controls next to the second seat Other options included rear window wiper and defroster a pair of sun roofs cruise control in fact all the goodies including the ice maker on the center console The ice maker works The middle seat holds two people comfortably and they have their own climate control knobs to the left of the seat and another sun roof ahead of the Mreat only when the air conditioning is on but once the ice is made the box keeps things cool for many miles Along with the super deluxe Toyota van pictured here there is a more mundane model with all the seating and general station wagon features and a more budget minded price Also last spring Toyota introduced a cargo version of the van with only front seats and a vast expanse to the rear It works well as a panel truck For 1985 a few changes in the van have been made There is a redesigned rear window wiper and a repositioned power door lock switch for more convenient operation The final drive ratio has be en lowered on the automatic transmission models too If you need the space and people package provided by a van check out the Toyota and enjoy the space and great fuel economy as a bonus C O R E PIT TEAM C O R E offers unique pit services at western desert races a family oriented club with social activities and much more for its members C O R E also has a program of one time guest pit service for out of the area competitors Get all the information on C O R E Jim Branstetter President 818 881 6708 17453 Runnymede St Van Nuys CA 91406 With all three rows of seats installed there is still ample space for normal weekend family luggage under the vast rear door Page 22 November 1984 The front armchair bucket seats are infinitely comfortable on the long haul with a variety of adjustments and movable center arm rests Dusty Times

RALLY OF 1000 LAKES Showdown for Audi in FinlandText Photos Martin Holmes Hail the new champions First overall was the 4 x 4 Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 crewed to victory by Ari Vatanen and Terry Harryman in Finland Quattro the Champion is Dead Long Live the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 The 1000 Lakes Rally was the event that Audi feared the day when a rival proved that Audi s production bas ed competition car had been living on borrowed time waiting for another car to do the job of winning gravel rallies better When Stig Blomqvist arrived at the finish in Finland in fourth place Audi gained their second world championship for makes but Peugeot stole the headlines Blomqvist had driven the old long Audi as usual the new Sport Quattros again failed to finish and even the two Lancia Rallys long proved to be obsolete were ahead Despite the three official team Audis and several private cars the German monsters scored only six best times out of the 51 stages The sole Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 driven by Ari Vatanen had taken 31 stages with no apparent effort and the two Lancias of second placed Markku Alen and third placed Henri Toivonen had taken nineteen With Peugeot committed to enter every world championship rally in the future the question now is not whether a Quattro can win a champion ship again but whether they could win even one world rally again The Peugeot project is obvious but the impact comes when you realize their car was conceived before four wheel drive had proved itself in rallying This was their third event the first time they led until crashing the second they led until minor problems sidelined them The decision to e nter only one car in Finland instead of two was made long ago They are still more interested in gaining experience than winning Audi split their efforts between the security of the old two valve car and the idiosyncracies of the four valver Winning the championship rather than the rally was their objective If Lancia won Audi simply needed to take third place In the end Lancia came in second and Audi s fourth did the job Blomqvist eased off later in the event letting Lancia s back up driver Henri Toivonen take third place But for the first two stages the Swede had actually led though his subsequent ease could not disguise Audi s eclipse The results showed only two Audis and three four wheel drive cars in the top ten but this is part of the mystery of Finland Despite the gravel roads four wheel drive is not an essential ingredient for Finnish success You need power instead Technical lay little advances part _on inthetraction 1000 P Lakes Whatpushesupthespeed is increasing horsepower better handling and the aggression of the men behind the wheel Former world champion Bjorn Waldegard from Sweden has often said it is difficult to win the 1000 Lakes because the Finns fight so hard to beat each other there is no room for outsiders At the head of the rear wheel drive entry were the production based Toyota Celica Twin Cam Turbos claiming 370 BHP some fifty more than the Lancias and a hundred more than the Nissan 240RSs cars rallied in basic specification form For the second year running Nissan finished the best normally aspirated car a long way off the pace but in seventh place overall up one spot from 1983 Things did not start well for eventual winner Ari Vatanen Two days prior to the start there is a practice day This two hour session has grown in importance and is now quite the equivalent to pre qualifying sessions at a Grand Prix The venue is a popular stage close to Jyvasklya called Humulamaki only 3 7 km long and possessing a well known series of downhill jumps The Peugeot was slow 1 47 and was seen to float too much Alen did 1 41 and both Toivonen and Hannu Mikkola Audi did 1 42 Michele Mouton found the wrong springs fitted to her Audi but she still made a 1 44 Illustrating the popularity of rallies in Europe there were 10 000 tickets sold to spectators for the practice session in a countty with only one tenth the pop u lation of Britain While the Lancia Rally is now termed obsolete Markku Alen and 1 kka Kivimaki drove the Group B beauty to second overall on the 1000 Lakes The joke in Jyvaskyla is that the post summer rains start when the 1000 Lakes Rally begins This year the rains came the moment the second leg of the event began For the third year running Blomqvist made fast time on the opening stage but Alen took the second stage quick time However Alen s time was discounted when the stage was cancelled rare in Finland after the British driver Julian Roderick crashed into the crowd at the famous bumps In recent years the crowds have encroached onto the stage as the trees behind them become more dense and it was lucky a major disaster did not occur The organizers take immense care in safety matters and an ambulance was on the scene in three minutes Alen made best time on the riext four stages and was soon ahead of Blomqvist and pulling away Mouton spent a lot of time tryingtogetherSportQuattroto handle well On the ninth stage Alen spun out and dropped ten seconds Vatanen had begun to 2 ___ Arriving a fine seventh overall was the Nissan 240 RS driven by Erkkl Pitkanen and Rolf Mesterton the best finish for a non turbo car Per Eklund and Dave Whittock drove their Audi Quattro group B to top spot for private entries and the team placed sixth overall While it was his sixth world rally victory over the years Ari Vatanen brought Peugeot Its first ever world rally win with the 4 x 4 Turbo 16 Page 31 Michele Mouton and Fabrlzla Pons had myriad problems with the Audi Sport Quattro and were forced to retire due to the roll over damage November 1984 Bruno Saby and Jean Francois Fa chille did very well in the Renault 5 Turbo placing eighth overall and were

THE MANISTEE TRAiLS PRO RALLY Rod Millen Wins His Second of the Season B v Rav Hay mth Photos Trackside Photo Enterprises Overall victory was sweet for Rod Millen it has been several months since the prototype 4 x 4 Mazda RX 7 rally machine has tasted victory Early in September the sixth round of the SCCA Pro Rally Series took place on the coast of Lake Michigan It was the second annual Manistee Trails Pro Rally The town of Manistee Michigan was perfect for a Pro rally although the place is best known for its fine fishing The town s population became well involved in the whole rally picture Two blocks on Main Street were closed off for the Pare Ferme impound and hundreds of people flocked to the area to have a look at the high horsepower cats that would rally throughout the night The weather was expected to be pretty hairy with winds reported up to 60 knots and rain was forecast on and off all night The drivers considered the rain to be a gift from heaven Knowing that the road conditions were primarily sandy the competitors figured the rain would help keep the s urface packed down and so it d id The roads were in excellent shape for racing _ All the top dogs in the rally world were there including Rod Millen in his 4 WO Mazda RX 7 John Buffum in t he mighty A udi Q uattro and regulars like Jon W oodner in the Peugeot Turbo 505 and Bruno Kreibich in his Qu a ttro Ge n e H e nd e r s on sho wed up with his AMC Eagle SX 4 but this time he _ was competing in the open class It seem s he feels he belo ngs in the majo r leagues so he beefed up the 4 x 4 sedan to run in open class Stock Production ranks had its regulars too entries such as Guy Light in his Oldsmobile Omega and the ever so surprising Doug Shepherd in the Dodge Shelby Charger Walter Boyce was out in his Volkswagen GT I The amazingly exciting GT Production Class battle continued with Steve Nowicki in his 160 HP Nissan 300 ZX contesting Richard elsey in his Mazda RX 7 and John Crawford wasn dar behind in his dynamic Dodge Daytona Turbo Z The rally began right on schedule at four on Saturday afternoon with an exciting spectator stage in a Manistee industrial park The competitors faced one half mile of pavement one half mile of black cinder and two tenths of a mile of sand and the stage finished up on a raised dike The entire stage could be seen by all the spectators The start of the rally was made more exciting when it started to rain on Back on form Steve Nowicki and David Stone slid through the pouring rain in the Nissan 300 ZX to win the GT cfass and place sixth overall Dodge Daytona Z Turbo wiz John Crawford with Craig Marr navigating sludged through the mud to take second In GT class by about a minute Dusty Times the first stage Rod Millen was first away having drawn number 1 and the race was on in typical Pro Rally weather conditions All went wellthrough the early stages then Richard Kelsey came into a service stop claiming we have been slimed meaning the roads were getting very gooey Kelsey is now being identified as a Nowicki Buster Steve Nowicki himself reportedly had overheating problems in the early evening with the Nissan because of mud clogging his radiator Mike Purzcki had overheating problems as well in his Jeep Scrambler and he had to sit out a few minutes on Stage 3 Bruno Kreibich blew a radiator hose also on Stage 3 and lost a full minute Gary Eaton got a new kind of hotfoot heading into the first service after Stage 5 The turbo in the Peugeot was so hot it set the carpeting on fire Walter Boyce broke a throttle cable and lost seven minutes before the first service and John Buffum was having undetermined engine problems However the problems couldn t be found and Buffum still managed to hold a slim lead over Rod Millen The familiar rally pattern developed with Buffum gradually putting more time on Millen each stage Stage 14 seemed to be just another stage but it wasn t for the leader John Buffum Somewhere on that stage Buffum went for a down shift missed the gear and flipped the Quattro bending every corner of the car and rounding off all the edges Buffum limped into the service_ Doug Shepherd and Linda Wilcox dug through the deep mud in the Dodge Shelby to take a whopping fourth overall an first In Production stop which was a long one combined with the dinner stop and had already lost well over 12 minutes He knew his service crew could work wonders and that they did The ace mechanics of Libra Racing went to work with a lot of help from a local spectator who was driving a street Quattro They pulled back a fender with a tow strap connected to the front end and rocked the car very gently to avoid damaging the radiator When the hour stop was over the battered Quattro was ready to finish the rally and Buffum went on determined the regain the lost 12 minutes However the Audi was not entirely together arnfit was seen on a few stages with the doors flying open only one tail light working and there were other problems The result was a second victory of the season for i iioi The Michigan town of r anlstee looks like a back lot set at a mov e studio except for tt e rally cars parked in pound on the main street After suffering a hot foot from an over zealous turbo Gary and Carolyn t aton got back on track for a finish fifth in GT class November 1984 Rod Millen and the RX 7 navigated by R Dale

THE Al CAN 5000 RALLY High Aclvent ure in the Far North Photos Satch Carlson By Bill Bryan Race organizer Jerry Hines rented his Dodge Coll to John Kelley and Dan Goodwin lo r the Alcan 5000 and the l nt pid team came in second Some months ago Jerry Hines of the Rainier Region of the SCCA sen f out flyers announcing the J oin 5000 It was listed as a Time Speed Distance Rally from Seattle to Anchorage and back to finish in Victoria British Columbia The starting date was September 22 the entry fee a mere 300 plus another 490 for hotels and a ferry boat trip It was quite a bargain compared to fees on other long distance events in recent years I immediately sent in an entry as did Doug Kopp of Palm Desert making a two car team from the Indio CA area Neither of us wanted to miss the Cannonball of the north which it truly turned out tq be If Brock Yates had thought of this it would be produced and directed by Hal Needham starring Burt Reynolds mushing north by dog sled pursued by Jackie Gleason and Dom Deluise Actually it was produced and directed by Jerry Hines starred Satch Carlson Craig Chantslor Jim Cucurull in a Saab 900 Turbo pursued by Tom Grimshaw Bill Brooks and Bill Banger in another Saab 900 Turbo The choice of car for the monumental event was critical and it had to be sturdy to get to and from Seattle from the desert as well as over the rally Doug Kopp chose a Saab 900 Turbo and my son David and I took the 1984 Toyota fuel injected shop truck Added were Michelin street tires Smittybilt roll cage and an extra shock per wheel was installed We were off for Seattle in mid September The rally started in Bellevue Washington with an 85 64 mile odo check After five Halda gear changes and 3000 miles we never did match the rallymaster s mile The first TSO section called regularity in the rules ran for about 22 miles at a 35 mph average speed Everyone like us who didn t understand what we were doing really built up penalty points Next came a nearly 80 mile transit with a 55 mph average speed which placed us in Canada Next came a Monte Carlo section fast for 80 odd miles then another regularity into a transit to the overnight stop at Williams Lake Great prime rib Day 2 began at mile 4 77 8 l headed to Fort Nelson with the next test an uphill regularity After 120 m iles Satch Carlson went by waving five fingers We switched the radio to Channel 5 and received humorous dissertations about driving skills and later on a report of a moose along the road At mile 959 it started snowing and soon we took off on a gravel road At mile 1006 the defroster was having difficulty keeping the ice off the windshield and the headlight pockets were full of ice and mud so we used the running lights The finish of Day 2 came at the Fort Nelson Motor Hotel and no one had any complaints Day 3 began at eleveri in the morning and py ten at night and mile 1733 we have done several regularities almost run out of gas seen deer and moose passed a thousand lakes eaten lots of cheese and crackers and consumed gallons of coffee and _ made a fuel stop at White Horse in the Yukon After the Dawson Creek regularity on a Monte Carlo section we rounded a corner and found most of the rally cars stopped to observe an Aumra Boreafis The Northern Lights were too spectacular to miss and who cares about the penalty points At mile 1845 a moose ran into the side of the The J oyota shop truck tumed racer lrom Indio held together well and Bill and BFG van_ and the lady u the next David B ryan finished in good time with a real finish gas stop said that the moose are in heat
