Off road racing tough-gregarious and talkative, had been ens the character. October 1988 THE HORA NEV ADA 500 was a silt bath for most contestants, but half of them survived to take the checkered flag. Brian Collins survived the best as he led overall most of the way with Bruce Graves riding shotgun. Collins drove the Class 2 Chenowth to the overall victory in much the same cool fashion he displayed when doing a similar overall victory run last March at the Gold Coast 300. Bill and Brian Church won Class 1 in a new Raceco, and Doug Fortin, Jr. won his third race in a row, topping all the Class 1-2-1600 racers. Oddly enough, all of the above were driving white race cars. Other class winners include Matt Pike and Steve Hummel in Class 3, Rodney Hall and Jim Fricker in Class 4, and Gary Bates and Don McAfee in Class 5. Bob Knight and LeRoy Hansen won Class 5-1600, and the Moser Brothers triumphed in Class 6. Larry Ragland ran away with Class 7, and Frank Vessels scored another win for Chevrolet in Class 8. Class 7S went to Mike and Pat Falkosky in a Toyota, and Dave Simon and John Johnson won Class 7 4x4 for Ford. Nick Gross and Joe Valentine won Challenger Class by nearly two hours in the LaPlant, and they are looking good right now for the overall points championship. Craig Watkins and Greg Aronson got the win in Class 10, and Don German came out of the north to claim Class 14 by an hour in his Chevy powered Jeep. No Class 1 ls finished, but we think Ramon Castro got the furthest and fastest. We'll have the foll story next month. THE MINT LIVES! Since the sale of the Mint Hotel and Casino last spring to Binion's Horseshoe Hotel and Casino (just next door to the old Mint), there have been many rumors flying around about the fate of the classic off road race.Just prior to the HDRA Nevada 500 there was a press conference at the Horseshoe Hotel that cleared the air. The race will return for its 21st annual run across 400 miles of rugged Nevada desert on April 22, 1989. Now called the Binion's Nissan Mint 400, the race has the enthusiastic support of Binion's Horseshoe Hotel and Casino. The race will be the third stop in the 1989 eight race HDRA/ SCORE Desert Series, ·and it will be promoted and sanctioned by the High Desert Racing Association. "We're excitei:I over our involvement with the Mint 400," said Jack Binion, Horseshoe president. "We're committed to expanding the number of participants and enlarging the audience reach of the race television coverage world wide. We're convinced that this can become a major international attraction." Current plans call for a return to the old, rugged and slower than this year's Mint 400 course. While it is still in the planning stage, the format calls for the start/ finish to be at the International Speedrome near the main gate of Nellis Air Force Base. It will be a return· i:o the famous rock pile and other landmarks on the course used from 1975 through 1985. Nissan serves as the name sponsor for the race, and General is the "Official Tire". THE ADRA HIGH COUNTRY 150, run out of Taylor, Arizona, over the . Labor Day weekend had some new winners out front. Fresh from his Class 5 victory at Riverside, Pete Sohren zoomed the same Baja Bug to first overall in · the Pro Division. Sohren ran the Class 5 in Class 2 in Arizona, and won by six minutes over Dwight Lundell in a Mazda powered Class 2. Ron Brown finished third overall among the Pro Division drivers in his Class 2 Chaparral.. Doug Boelman won the overall Sportsman honors. Watch for the full report next month. RED LINE SYNTHETIC OIL CORP. has recently become interested in off road racing. They make a full line of synthetic lubricants for transmissions and transaxles, engine oils, diesel fuel catalysts, gas treatments and lead substitutes. Involved in many forms of racing and with high performance vehicles, Red Line intends to fill the gap in off road racing left by H.P.S. Judging frof1l the brochure, they have one of everything you might need. If you are interested in more information, contact Red Line in Martinez, CA at (415) 228-7576 to find a dealer near you. APPLE PIE RACING will be making its debiJt next.season, and the team is trying a new concept in off road racing, using all American made equipment for both the Class 1 and Class 2 race cars now under construction. Apple Pie Rac;ing principals are K J Howe, Bob Griffiths and Sandy Howe, all of Las Vegas, Nevada. They plan to prove that one need not use Porsche, Hew land and other exotic foreign made components to win in the unlimited classes. Currently the team plans to be ready to race in mid 1989, and perhaps even ready for the Binion's Mint 400 in late April. KEN CO is another company getting seriously involved with off road racing. Based in Milford, PA Kenco is a division of Sparkomatic Corp., and they make all sorts of good things for pickup trucks and vans. Kenco is entering the off road racing venue with their Kenco off road Lights and other products, which already adorn Mike Lesle's Jeep Comanche Class 7 4x4 and Scoti: Douglas' Class 7S Ford Ranger, and others as well. Kenco markets its full line of accessories nationwide, and look for them on continge_ncy row.next year, if not sooner. THE BADGERLAND SPRINTS, a SODA points race at Chilton, Wis-' consin, had a good entry on hand last August for the short course event. Greg Smith won over Dave Hameister in the 12 car Class 1-1600, and a similar number in Class 2-1600 saw Scott Taylor take the victory from Greg Smith. Ron Kartman, followed by Terry Wolfe, led the half dozen 5-1600s to the flag, and John Znidorka bested Gary Gottschalk in the quartet of Class 6 machines. There were five starters each in Classes 7S and 8. Scott Taylor won over Tom Hockers in the mini truck bash, and Pete VanDehey beat Dennis Ferdon forClass8 honors. ChuckJohnson won theClass9/ 10war, and yes it is the same Johnson that races the desert in a 7S truck. The biggest fields were in Class 11. Dennis Riemer took top &pot in single seat division over Mark Steinhardt and Jeff Jones. Curt Gerald won the two seat dash over Darrin Parsons and Mark Steinhardt. Class 13 honors went to Lowell DeGreef over Tom Jensen. Rhonda Smith won the Ladies Buggy race and Shari Recla won the Ladies Heavy Metal bash. · (more TRAIL NOTES on page 8) Dusty nma

RIVERSIDE IN PHOENIX-At a press c:onference during the last Score race at Riverside, Sal Fish announced that next year the event will probably be held at Phoenix International Raceway. He said he was also looking at Sears Point in northern California, which would allow the race to be held on the traditional August date. If Phoenix is the final choice, the event will be scheduled sometime in October of 1989. Future plans include taking the race to Palm Springs at the track, in the planning stages now, to be built by Frank Arciero, Sr. Stay tuned! WRC CALENDAR CAPERS -Off road racing is not the only form of motorsport that has date conflicts. The Swedish Rally is to take place on the second weekend in January, right in the middle of the Paris-Dakar event next year. The Swedish organizers were advised that a move right to the beginning of the season was essential if they were to retain their status as a qualifying round in both the Manufacturers as well as the Drivers series. Following FISA's edict that Europe is to lose one round of the Makes' series next year, this unpopular move was agreed by them. The calendar crisis has been caused by the unusually early date for Easter in 1989. For reasons of safety on the roads and availability of workers, it is necessary for the Safari to be held at Easter in Kenya. This crisis also means that the Rally of Portugal will have to move back into February, another unpopular move because of poor weather at that time of year in Portugal. This latest development will come as a shock for Paris-Dakar. The FISA urged them to start the event at Christmas this year, and to shorten the event to 15 days. The reasons were to create a gap between Paris-Dakar and the Monte Carlo Rally, then assumed to be again the opening round of the WRC series. Paris-Dakar organizers agreed to the changes, and will now find the reasons given by FISA have been changed! OJIBWE RALLY RESULTS show that Paul Choiniere won a close battle in the Minnesota woods over Richard Kelsey. Choiniere, with Scott Wein-heimer navigating the Audi Coupe Quattro, won by just 13 seconds over Kelsey and Harry Ward in a Mazda 323, and both cars were in Group A. Doug Shepherd and Joe Andreini wc-n Production GT Class in a Dodge Daytona Turbo and were third overall. Bruno Kreibich and Clark Bond won Open Class in an Audi Quattro, and Niall Leslie and Brian Maxwell took Produc-tion Class and tenth overall in a Toyota Corolla GTS. Richard Kelsey was subbing for Rod Mill .n at Ojibwe, as Millen was in Indonesia where he took second ovecall and first in Group A in a Mazda 323 4WD in the Starko Rally. Indonesian Beng Soeswanto won the rally, part of the new FIA Asia Pacific Series, in a Group S Metro 6R4. MARATHON RALLY RULE CHANGES - FIA has announced that marathon cars will be subjected to homologation procedures in the future, starting from 1989 and gradually increasing after that. The long awaited rule changes have brought a partial reprieve to the Supercars, typified by the Peugeots, but by 1990 the premier marathon formula will be much more restrictive. The 1989 rules specify that three classes will be run. The (irst category, " Normal Cross Country" must be based on homologation, one thousand examples of the type with the same engine, but the chassis can change, wheelbase and body, etc. The "Improved Cross Country" category rules closely follow the Improved cars currently running in rally raid events. Catalogs can be used for eligibility instead of homologation, and the main technical innovation is that the method of aspiration must remain the same. For "Prototype" category, the most important changes are that the induction diameter at the turbine will now be limited to 45mm, and that minimum weights will apply; 1200 kg for two wheel drive, 1300 kg for·4x4, and an extra 100 kg for normally aspirated cars with engines over four liters. Additionally, all prototypes must have side doors. The major changes will come in 1990. FISA has continued its passion for name changing. Single-country events will be known as Cross Country Raids, multi-country events as Cross Coun-try Marathons. Of course the body which has rubber stamped these changes is no longer the Executive Committee-;-- it is the World Motor Sport Council! THE RUMOR MILLS were operating at full speed during the Score Off Road World Championship at Riverside. Perhaps most surprising was the . since confirmed tale about the Toyota team switching tire brands for the 1989 season. Apparently the Cal Wells team for both stadium racing and the desert series will be shod with Yokohama tires next year, forsaking the BFGoodrich rubber they have used since day one in competition. Apparently the brand switch order came from way up in the board rooms ofT oyota and Yokohama. Oddly enough, the Toyota Class 1 truck for I van Stewart was missing at the HDRA Neyada 500, since some special parts needed to be race ready did not arrive in time. Another interesting story has Larry Ragland returning to unlimited class competition in 1989. Well on his way to the 1988 Class 7 championship in the Chevy S-10, Ragland will drive a "funny" Chevy truck . in Class 2 next season, going for the overall honors. There is no word on who, · if anyone, will inherit the ride in the quick Class 7 Chevy. SCORE INTERNATIONAL IS ON THE MOVE. Score is moving to new and bigger offices on the first of October.

. . SCORE on ROAD WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP The Last Hurrah at Riverside Raceway By Jean Calvin Mitch Mustard had his Chenowth flying at Riverside, and he took second in his Stadium Class 10 heat race, then survived a tough dice to win the Taco Bell Challenge grand finale race to take the trophy home to Colorado. For years off roaders have joked about the first, second and · third annual , last ever event at Riverside International Raceway. In 1988 it really was the last race, not only last off road race, but any kind of race at the venerable facil-ity that has seen the best drivers in the world from all forms of motorsport compete on its u-nique road course. Unfortu-nately, with the closing an-nounced in most media since June, the-off road fans apparently believed it. The crowd last August was dismal, no better than the first event back in 1973 on the weekend that ushered in the gaso-line crunch at the local station level. The off road course was another fine product of Dick Dahn's bulldozer brigade, a bit rough to start with, -as usual, but pared down by race time to a rough but managable course, sim-ilar .to the route last year. The sur-roundings did not match the tidy race course, and it looked as if the Raceway had been closed for Kevin Probst brought three Berrien cars from Illinois to race, and he was second in the first stadium 10 heat, but failed to finish the finale. Photos: Trackside Photo Enterprises some time.Trash was stuck on the fences before the off roaders arrived, the chain link fencing along Thompson's Ridge was fall-ing down, and, well, you get the picture. It was startling to look across the long back straight of the road course and see, just behind it, a Mervyn's Department Store, and other structures of sim-ilar size -still being built for the soon-to-be shopping center. For sure, this was the last time a spec-ta tor race would be held at Riverside. Score stuck to their traditional four day format for the 16th Annual Off Road W arid Champ-ionship, sponsored in part by Stroh's Brewery. Thursday was a . quiet day with no track activity. Registration began early, and tech inspection and contingency row opened at noon, as did the Okla-homa land rush to stake out pit areas for the private teams. For-tunately it was pleasant weather, j~ff Elrod flew his tidy VW bodied UltraStock over the lumps in the esses to second in class and second overall among the five classes racing. Robby Gordon was on form at Riverside, taking the lead in the Chevrolet Heavy Metal Challenge midway in the fray, and Gordon went on to the overall victory, and his 4th in a row Class 8 title in Jim Ven ab/e's '66 Ford. Robby Gordon won the first race at the last ever Riverside, driving his Chenowth to the victory in the first heat for Stadium Class 10 cars. Bob Gordon led the second Stadium Class 10 heat wire to wire in his Chenowth, and he finished seventh in the 38 car hectic main event action. Greg George took off fast and never looked back in his Mazda UltraStock, and he not only won ths class he won the multiple class race overall. . " Page 10 October 1988 Dusty nmcs

Then came Jeff Elrod, VW Sohren IJIP which lasted all weekend, not too hot and usually a light breeze was blowing. The expected busy time on Thursday on contingency row did not materialize. Most on hand had expected a heavy entry for this final off road race at Riverside, but it did not happen. Only a few classes had full fields, and some of the entry went straight to tech instead of passing through con-tingency row, or did not even arrive until Friday. So, the con-tingency donors had long periods of time to talk to each other, without a single vehicle visible down the aisle. Friday the practice started early and the mechanical destruction kept pace. The sharp jumps on the switchbacks caught a bunch of drivers in various classes, some really mashing their steeds. Each class was given two practice ses-sions, and usually the classes were combined as they would be for racing. There was a subdued atmosphere in the pits, despite the many repair jobs in progress. Many folks mentioned the lack of hangers-on who usually do their pit watching on Friday. For sure, traffic, both pedestrian and vehicular, was well down from previous years in the pits. After short practice sessions for the classes running on the day, the Saturday action began with the first qualifying heat for Sta-dium Class 10. It was the only class big enough to require quali-fying heats. Jerry Whelchel got the hole shot on the long charge to the first turn from the green flag. But, Robby Gordon was right behind him, and before the lap was done young Gordon had the lead. By the fourth lap Gordon had a good margin over Whel-chel, who had Kevin Probst right behind him. After a slight gap, next came Larry Noel, Al Arciero, Mike Withers, Eric Arras and John Sprague, aff having a pretty good go. Midway Robby Gordon had a hefty lead, with Probst and Whel-chel having a good dice for second, and Kent Castle was in Dusty nmcs the middle of this fight, but a lap first quad moto, ran away and hid down. Just to the rear Withers, from the pack to win overall in the Arciero and Arras were nearly side by side, the best show of this heat. At the flag Robby Gordon won by a goodly distance in his Chenowth over Kevin Probst, Berrien, who had a similar dis-tance on Jerry Whelchel and Larry Noel. Al Arciero finished fifth, followed in by Eric Arras, Tommy Croft and Mike Withers, all on the lead lap. Next came the first motos for the motorcycles and quads, each with a mixed bag of classes involved.Terry Fowler won over-all in the bike dash, and Donnie Banks took top honors in the quad race which mixed desert classes and stadium quads. Both of these heats featured a bunch of crashes on the tricky course: The second Class 10 Stadium style qualifying heat had an all new cast of 20 cars and more close racing than the day's opening salvo. Bob Gordon took an immediate lead that he would hold all the way, but he sure had to fight to stay out front. By the second lap the trio of Frank Arciero, Jr., Mitch Mustard and Brad Castle were nose to tail fight-ing for second, and not much · further back Danny Rice and Marty Coyne were side by side. Midway both Mustard and Arciero had closed up tight on Gordon, and several cars were parked around the course. Earlier Matt McBride had done a spec-tacular endo, several in fact, down in the switchbacks. The three way battle up front continued all the way to the checkered flag; although positions didn't change, they were so close it was any-body's race all the way. Bob Gor-don did win, keeping these heat victories in the family, Mitch Mustard was a close second with Frank Arciero on his bumper. Marty Coyne was fourth, with Danny Rice, smoking heavily, next. All were driving Chenowths.

Mike Lesle refurbished his championship winning Baja Bug to lead the tight pack in Class 5-1600 all the way, flag to flag, for the class victory In Stadium Class 1 Frank Arciero.Jr. won the drag race to the first turn, and he stayed out front by inches all the way to the checkered flag in his Chenowth. Rick Boyer sailed his Funco into the Stadium Class 1-2-1600 lead midway in the ten lapper, and he flew on to win the tight battle in the class. Larry Ragland had an easy day in the Chevrolet Mini Metal Desert Challenge; with no opposition after one lap in Class 7, Larry led overall to victory in the Chevy S-10. David Anckner sailed his Baja Bug to second in Class 5-1600, staying close to the leader until the last few laps in the mixed class event. Mark DeNunzio took it easy over the tough moguls in the esses, and at Riverside he was declared the Class 11 winner, with three laps done. Wes Elrod executes a one wheel landing in the esses in his Mirage, and he went on to take a hard fought for second place in Stadium Class 1. ~ and Parsons were doing the same in Class 5. Mike Lesle had a good lead in Class 5-1600, at this point his was the last car that hadn't been lapped by Greg George. It really got confusing trying to follow the various classes. Greg George easily won overall, fol-lowed in UltraStock Class by Jeff Elrod. Tjelmeland faded late in the game, and Lloyd Castle went out early. Pete Sohren led George Seeley, Jr. to the flag in Class 5, as Parsons retired with a broken cv joint. In Class 1-2-1600 Doug Fortin, Jr. moved in to challenge Mike Williams for the lead, as Mac-Cachren stopped on the course to attach a coil wire. By lap 8 young Fortin was firmly in the lead as Williams was circulating on three wheels, but still finished third. Doug Fortin went on to win Desert 1-2-1600 honors, fol-lowed in by Jim Fishback, Sr. These three were all that covered nine laps and Fortin was the only one to cover ten laps. Class 5-1600 started out busy, but gradually Mike Lesle in-creased his lead to win easily. Lesle, a former desert series champion in Class 5-1600, had refurbished the car just for the "last Riverside." Dave Anckner nailed second in class, followed by short course racer Mario Pan-agiotopolous, Kathy Fay, Norm Francis and Stacy Fay, who lost her turns from the flag. In Class 11 Mark DeNunzio did his three laps to take the win from Andy Diaz, who also covered three laps. The final race on Saturday combined the Stadium cars in both Class 1 and Class 1-2-1600. It was a bad move for scoring as there were bags of duplicate car numbers in the two classes. With over active water trucks, the early race mud baths make numbers hard enough to read without hav-ing pairs of cars wearing the same number. Half the entry in Class 1 were Stadium 10 cars, having another go at the track. As he has in the past, Roger Mears was driving the winged, V-8 powered Chenowth of Karol Vanzant, and making a bid for his 21st victory at Riverside. But, Frank Arciero and Bob Gordon had big engines in their Chen-owths, so it could be a real race. Also lurking on the back of the ~:-ic ·.~•ere the Stadium Toyota trucks i;r Mike Lesle ran second overall for a time, but settled in to a pace that took the Jeep Comanche to the Scott Douglas got a few wrinkles on his Ford Ranger, but he also won Class 7S in the desert challenge and finished a strong second overall . win in Class 7 4x4 and fourth overall. • Pagc11 Dultyflma

Dwaine Walters took the early lead in the accident marred Challenger Class race, and his T-Mag took the victory over 21 other starters in the big class. Robby Gordon took off like a bullet in the race for desert Classes 1, 2, and 10. With Ryan Thomas riding along, the teenage team scored the victory in Class 2 and overall. C.. of Ivan Stewart and Steve Nlillen. But the trucks took a delay start, explaining -that they were just testing for the next day, and they only went a couple of laps. In Class 1 Frank Arciero won the drag race to the first turn, but Mears was right in his wake, with Kevin Probst, Berrien, in close followed by Bob Gordon. Mears lost the front end on the first lap, and Arciero stayed right out front, hounded by Probst and Bob Gordon, along with Robby Gordon on the second lap. At this point, we think we have the numbers straight, Tim Riordan was leading the 1600 bash, fol-lowed by Rick Boyer and Robert Matthews, and yet another Mears, cousin Lance. Midway in the ten lapper Frank Arciero stretched out a good lead over Robby Gordon. Lee Wuest-hoff was next, followed by Wes Elrod, Art Schmitt, Bob Gordon, Kevin Probst and Billy Beck. The 1600s, we think, were led by Rick Boyer, and Steve Sourapas had moved up to second, followed by Robert Matthews, Carlos Zuniga, Andy Anderson and Dana Van Noort. As the Class 1 race wound down, nobody was close to Frank Arciero. Robby Gordon was run-ning second, followed by Elrod, Wuesthoff, Schmitt and Bob Gordon. There was no doubt that Frank Arciero won the race, but there was some doubt about the next few places for a time. By our count Wes Elrod was second, fol-lowed by Robby Gordon on a flat, Bob Gordon, Art Schmitt and Billy Beck, all that covered ten laps. Several of the above were initially DQ'ed for bypassing a jump near Turn 6. But they were later reinstated in the above order. It seems nothing was said at the driver's meeting about it being mandatory to go over the jumps instead of around them, but it was mentioned at the Sunday meeting. Of the 14 that started in Sta-dium 1-2-1600, many fell out on the rough course, including some of the early leaders. Once he gained the lead, Rick Boyer held it all the way to victory, even though Steve Sourapas got close in his Mirage. Robert Matthews was a good third, followed by Dana Van Noort, the last one to cover the nine laps. Sunday brought out the truck racers. It started with the Chev-rolet Mini Metal Challenge for desert Classes 7, 7S and 7 4x4. Early Friday morning the Simon brothers had suffered a bizarre accident. Right off the start of the first practice Paul Simon did a tri-ple endo in his 7S Ford, and incredibly landed on top of the 7 4x4 Ranger driven by his brother Dave. After a lot of work, both trucks were ready to race on Sunday. There were three starters in Class 7, but it wasn't much of a race.

Although Al Arciero did not see the checkered flag, having lost a wheel, he ended up second in Desert Class 1, as attrition was very heavy.

and Al Arciero was second on the road, leading Class 1, followed by Richey, Mike Lund, Class 2, Ron . Brant, Class 1, and Stiles. Mark Barnes had the Class 10 lead, fol-lowed by Bob Austin and Craig Watkins. These notes are not the result of taking down car numbers, since in this race the cars were too muddy to read the numbers, and we hopefully tried to be accurate just by recognizing the desert racers.

On lap 6 Paul Simon hit the wall on Tum 6, handing the 7S lead and second overall to Scott Douglas, with Spencer Low close but unable to make a pass. Lesle was now fourth overall, and to the rear the war still waged between Jerry McDonald and Mike Ran-dall, with Scott Taylor in the middle of the sandwich. Larry Ragland won overall and Class 7 by a mile. Scott Douglas hung on in second overall and took the 7S victory handily as they stretched out at the flag. Spencer Low was third overall, second in 7S, followed by the 7 4x4 winner Mike Lesle. Scott Taylor was next, third in 7S, and Rob MacCachren was fourth in his Jeep, a lap down as were Mal-colm Vinje, Toyota, and Larry Noel, Ford. Dave Ashley drove his Ranger to second in 7 4x4, Jerry McDonald was third in the Chevy, and Wayne Demonja was fourth in a Mazda as Randall faded on the last laps. Next up were the 22 in Chal-lenger Class, and the race started badly. The defending champion here, Danny Ashcraft did a whole series of endos on the first lap. Both he and his co-driver were injured, Ashcraft with back trou-ble and Carol Primeni:ell with a ·broken ankle. Half the field got caught in the resulting traffic jam. After one lap Dwaine Walters had the lead in a T-Mag, with Larry Dimmett, Giti Gowland and Don Rountree close. After three of the eight · laps Walters had a clear lead, and there had _ been another, less serious wreck in the esses. Rountree now had the Sandwinder in second, 'closely followed by Dimmett, Gowland and Rich Richardson. The leaders were lapping many of . the cars delayed in the two wrecks. Then Rountree. and Gow-land collided on lap 4 and the 'Tree broke a ball joint, and-neither came around again. Now Richardson and Kenny Freeman · had the best battle going, followed at some distance by MiJ<e Wil~ liams. Dimmett was dragging not one, but two rear flats, and only nine made it through five laps. Dwaine Walters continued to increase his lead in the T-Mag, and scored an easy victory after eight tough laps. On the penulti-mate lap Rich Richardson was second by half a car length over Freeman, who was followed by Williams. But, on the last lap there must of been contact in one of the switchbacks.-Kenny Free-man got his Bunderson home second with W illiams right on his bumper. Richardson ended up fourth, nursing a left rear flat. The desert chargers with the Dustyflma hot engines were ne-xt on the schedule with five in Class 2, five in Class 1 and ten in Class 10.

Although Jim Stiles lost the power steering on the Raceco early in the desert unlimited race, he . carried on in the battle to take Class 1, his second in a row victory.

Joey Moore also parked with problems. Midway in the eight lapper Stewart was still ahead of Evans and MacCachren held third in his Jeep. Next it was Roger Mears, Sr. and Steve Millen, coming back from a starting line problem. Dave Ashley pitted for a fresh tire at this point. On lap· 6 both the Mears Nissans were out, Sr. with engine trouble and his son was also missing. Now Ashley was puffing white smoke from the back of the Ford. Through seven laps, only five were still in motion. Coming off Thompson Ridge for the last time Ivan Stewart led the survivors with Walker Evans still close, and they finished 1-2. Before the final two turns, third running Rob MacCachren bailed out of his smoking Jeep that had some sort of engine fire. Glenn Harris finished third in this high attrition rur~, MacCachren was called in fourth and Steve Millen in fifth, also a lap down. The Taco Bell Stadium Class 10 'Challenge field held most of the 3 7 entries, the biggest race of the weekend and it was a real bang-em-up sample of stadium racing. Off the line Jerry Whelchel led Ron Carter and Mitch Mustard, but by the end of the lap Carter was in the lead, Mustard was second and Whelchel was third. ~. Carter and Mustard had a real dice going, joined on the third lap by Whelchel and Kevin Probst, all nose to tail. At the end of three rounds, Mustard had a skinny lead over Carter I with Whelchel and Probst very close. By now· both Arciero brothers were out of it, as were several oth-ers, and on the next lap Carter limped to the pits: · Halfway it was tight between Mustard and Whelchel, and Marty Coyne was a distant third, followed by Lee Wuesthoff, Probst, Eric Arras and Larry Noel, but positions changed con-. stantly. The Mustard/ Whelchel dice went on through eight laps, then Whelchel gained the lead. Now Coyne just held off Wuest-hoff for third, Arras was next fol-lowed by Noel, Bob Gordon and Art Schmitt. Robby Gordon bad disappeared early in the race. Jerry Whelchel messed up his front end on a jump on the last lap, and Mitch Mustard had a good trip to victory.

Don Adams had an easy cruise to victory in Class 3, his Jeep Wrangler finishing a lap ahead of the only other entry in Clas, 3 at Riverside. Larry Schwacofer ran second in Class 6 through the very last turn, but won the class taking the last checkered flag at Score's Riverside races. Whelchel, and Danny Rice. A weird accident happened after the checkered flag between two ten . lap finishers. Scott Galloway turned left too soon after the flag stand to head for the pits and was struck by Phil Carter, Jr. Both cars ended up in the Turn 6 seats, with . Galloway's underneath Carter's. When they got everyone out, only Carter seemed to be injured, hav-ing hit his head and wrist very hard. The final racing event of the day, and ever, was the Chevrolet · Heavy Metal Challenge with five classes, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 14, making up a field of 23 rigs. Class 8 was the largest with ten starters, Class 4 had five, Classes 14 and 6 had four each, and there were two in Class 3. We only counted 23 on the parade lap. Some never got far off the start, including Walker Evans. Ken Kincaid did a wild roll-over in his Class 14 Ford, crashing into Evans' Dodge, which took out most of the side and a wheel. And, three more didn't cover a lap in Class 8. riding along in the Dodge, went on to win Class 4 · and finish second overall. Jack Johnson strong armed the Nissan to take third overall, second in Class 4. Steve Kelley was fourth overall, second in Class 8, the last of the ten lap finishers. Dave Shoppe, with wife Linda riding along in the Ford, was the fastest of the nine lap finishers, fifth overall and third in Class 8. Minnesota racer Greg Gerlach got in nine laps for third in Class 4. Meanwhile in Class 14, Jerry Daugherty led most of the way in his much raced Chevy 1;3lazer, and Jerry took his second Class 14 title at Riverside home to Colo-rado. Dave Ashley ran his desert 7 4x4 Ford in Class 14, and finished second ahead of Bill Dickton, Dodge, all three covering nine laps. In Class 3, it was a pair of Jeeps. Don Adams circulated at a steady, stay-out-of-~rouble pace to win class honors by a lap over Rich Severson. It was Frank Vessels who led the pack into the first turn, fol-lowed by Jack Flannery, Jerry Daugherty and Jack Johnson. But Vessels parked in the switch-backs, and Jack Flannery led after one lap over Jack Johnson and Rod Ha!-l, all in Class 4. The four wheel drive helped a bunch in the early laps on the muddy track. After a cautious start, Rob Gor-don had his Class 8 Ford in fourth, with Steve Kelley right behind him followed by Greg Gerlach. But, Flannery pitted with a flat tire on the next lap, and Jack Johnson had the Nissan in the lead, followed by Robby Gor-don, Rod Hall, Steve Kelley and Greg Gerlach. Flannery came roaring oack onto the track, worked up to fourth in Class 4 in four laps, and then the steering shaft broke on his Ford. The final class on the traek was 6, with three in motion for half distance, then the Rambler sedan retired. Out front all the way was Dale Jordan, and his El Camino Chevy had a huge lead early in the · race. Then he got mud in the radiator and backed off some because of overheating. Then, on the last lap he caught sight of Larry Schwacofer, '5 7 Chevy, closing up on him. So, Jq_rdan stood on the gas out of the last turn onto the pavement, slewed out of control and landed _straddled on the cement retaining wall by the grandstands, about 50 . feet shy of the final checkered flag at Riverside International Race-way. Larry Schwacofer, with Sid Spradling out for the ride, cap-tured the last checkered flag at Riverside and the Class 6 honors. After four laps Jack Johnson had the lead but _Robby Gordon was closing in, and Rod Hall wasn't losing any ground while Kelley's Chevy held fourth ahead of Gerlach's Class 4 Chevy. Next lap Gordon was right on top of Johnson, who later reported the power steering went out early in the race. Gordon made the pass at the end of the lap and that was it for the overall title in the Heavy Metal ranks. Robby Gordon con-tinued to lead, not by a lot but by a comfortable margin, to win overall in the· '66 Ford Class 8 truck with which he has been ' cleaning up on the desert. At the end of lap 6 Rod Hall passed Jack Johnson at the finish line, and Rod, with Jim Fricker Dusty nma Well, it was over, and some-where the fat lady was singing, no doubt.

1600 WINS OVERALL Mclrking Takes Fudpucker's Budweiser Superstition_ ISOV By Judy Smith Photos: C&C Race Photos John Marking drove the Jimco all the way with Gary Cogbill riding shotgun in a trouble free race that Marking won overall as well as taking the Class 1-2-1600 honors. Fudpucker's Budweiser Super-stition race draws off roaders to one of the hottest parts of the desert, at just about the hottest time of the year. The August event, which doesn't start until 6 p.m., is situated at the edge of a nameless drylake, just northeast of Plaster City. Or you could say, southwest of Westmoreland. As the bikers, who'd done their racing in the morning, left to find air conditioned motels and cool-ing showers, the car and truck people moved in, and settled limply around the lakebed, to wait for the start time. Even Fud, usually the most energetic person at a race, was ensconced for a while in the shade of the sign-up booth, cool drink in hand. Temperatures hovered at right around 115 degrees, and the wind, rather than cooling, blew silt, which stuck to sweaty bodies, and gritted up the tops of soda pop cans. But as race time drew near, everyone crept out from their air conditioned motor-homes, and the shade of their canopies, to take the cars through tech, and then attend the drivers meeting. · As Fud described the course he specifically noted one short cut that had been popular with pre-runners, and told the racers that it was a no-no, stating that he'd have a cheater checker there. A quick run down of the rest of the course, and a review of the rules, and they ,were ready to stage. Fud started the cars one every 15 seconds on this 60 mile loop, which some had predicted would be traversed in less than an hour. The course was described as "nice", with lots of sand, and hardly any rocks. There were some "disorienting" mud hills, and also a difficult area called the "Snow Cones", which drivers were inclined to want to short cut, along with a couple of fast straights. The whole track was in the shape of a skinny cloverleaf, and came close to the start/ finish area on the dry lake a couple of times, making it easy to get back to the main pit in the event of serious problems. There were five checks, in addition to the start/ finish, but drivers were not required to stop at any of them. The rules declared that cars would go through the checks in single file, and that there'd be no passing within the flagged off area that marked checkpoint territory. Nobody made it around in less than an hour, although a few came close. The two Unlimited class cars, who were first off the line, both had major troubles on lap one, or maybe they would have broken the one hour time, but as it was, Kirk Kontilis in a Bade-noch 's chassis, was the first Unlimited car around, in an hour and 14 minutes, after running about 20 miles on a flat. Cecil Wright, with overheating prob-lems in his Mazda powered Hi Jumper, which sports a Mazda body these days, was only three minutes behind him in second place. Kontilis had a pretty good second lap, but then lost third gear on lap three. Still, he con-tinued to lead, as Wright spent a long time in the pits on his second Robert Whitted and Carl Haynes moved to Class 5 at this race, and turned fast laps for the class win, and they also placed a swift second overall. lap, repairing damage done after running into a concrete block. Kontilis went on to take the win, pleased that his new rear suspen-sion worked, and Jeff Wright ran the last two laps in the Mazda, to bring it home second, but very late in the evening. Class 1-2-1600, which runs with no restrictor plates in the Fudpucker races, and often fin-ishes very well, started as the second group. John Marking, in a Jimco, had the lead at the end of the first lap, followed by John King and Ken Snyder, in their ORBS, only two minutes later. In third place it was Jeff and Randy Anderson, in a Goodsell, and then it was Bob Hummel and Kevin Basore, Jimco, fourth, fol-lowed by John Lind, in a Mirage. They were all within six minutes of each other. · Marking, who usually co-drives with Gary Cogbill, in SCORE and HDRA races, had Cogbill as a passenger this time, and they still had the lead at the end of the second lap. Hummel and Basore were now second, as King and Snyder got high centered, lost 15 minutes getting unstuck, and lost second place. The Andersons held on to third, Lind was fourth, and King and Snyder had fallen to fifth place. As Cogbill pointed the way, Marking built his lead, having no mechanical problems at all. At the end of the third lap he had 16 . minutes on second place Hummel and Basore. The Andersons were still third, King and Snyder had moved back up to fourth, and Lind was fifth. Marking kept pushing hard, and Cogbill thought he would revert to an old bad habit the team has, of rolling the car, but he kept it on its wheels, and took the win. And they had the overall victory along with the class win, making a good reason for a mighty big celebra-tion in the Marking/Cogbill entourage. Hummell and Basore finished second, the Anderson team third, and King and Snyder, who'd run well except for that second lap, were fourth. Lind was fifth. The Class 10 cars, who'd been expected to finish in front of the 1600s, had a tough evening of it. Half of the field broke on the first lap, and the rest of the evening wasn't any too e·asy either. Dennis Green's Jimco, with Mike Julson at the wheel, was in the lead at the end of the first lap, with a time of 1:01:40, the fast lap of the race. But Mike and Jim Zupanovich, in an ORE, were just seconds behi_nd him, at 1:02:18. Jim Sherman lagged a bit in his Jimco, since he was running on a right readlat. At the end of the second lap it .was still Julson in the lead, and the Zupanovich car was still close, though it had dropped back a few minutes. Sherman never finished that lap. The Zupanoviches were leading at the end of the third lap, by about 40 minutes. Green, who was now driving, had had all kinds of trouble. He was. running with no brakes, and spent a lot of time repairing a caliper. But he went on, determined to finish. A spark plug wire came off on the last lap, and he couldn't stop to fix it, because his starter was dead, and he wouldn't be able to get going again. So he pressed on, stopping in at a friend's pit for help, and then went on to finish, surprised and delighted to find that he was the first one there. The Zupano-vich car had suffered terminal problems on the last lap, and never got to the finish. . But Green's heroic efforts were in j_eopardy, as a checkpoint team reported that on the second lap the car had passed within a couple of the "no-passing" zones at checkpoints. A hearing was held in front of the Competition Committee the next morning, and the upshot of it all was that, as the rules require, the car was docked a lap. However, that turns out i:o be less drastic thaQ it sounds, becuase, for some odd reason, although it was docked a·lap, the team ended up with the win. Even though the Zupanovich car had ,.. ·.;,. Dennis Green and Mike Julson had a goodly amount of troubles on course, but in the end they put the Jimco home first in the Class 10 action. Despite getting stuck in the "Snow Cones", Brian Goodrich and Doug-Jennings led every lap in Class 5-1600, and won the nine Bug class by six minutes. Jack Hettinger and Steve Reynolds got lost in the mud hills but still got the old Funco home for the victory in the close competi-tion in Challenger Class. Stuart and Tod Teuscher have a habit of winning Class 100 at Fud's races, and they again drove the immaculate Chenowth Wedge to the class win. Page 18 October 1988 Dusty nma

been in front at the end of lap . three, the lead position had reverted to Julson and Green. Fudpucker told us that it had something todo with the fact that the rules were originally written · for motorcycle races, where he rarely has only one contestant left running at the end of a race. He said he would have to rewrite the rul~s to suit the cars. And he did. Fud told us that after running afoul of the above situation he has put together a rule book for FR T events, and it will be available at his next race, the Plaster City Blast, on October 1st. Fud has also added a lineup of Class Representatives to his organization, to be sure that each racer has a person to present his view to the promoter. Class 5 at the Superstition race was small, but determined. Bob Whitted and Carl Haynes, in their pre-runner, which had been Larry McCallum's race car, had decided t6 see what it was like to race with a big motor, lots of wheel travel, and some extra shocks. They usu-ally run in Class 5-1600, where they do very well, indeed. This race proved not to be too chal-lenging, as their only competition, Greg Sanden and Larry McCal-lum in Sanden's car, ran afoul of something on lap one and lost over an hour. So Whitted and Haynes ap-plied themselves to the problem of getting around the course as fast as they could, while staying out of trouble. Running at a very steady pace, they had themselves in fifth overall at the end of the second lap, and at the finish line they were second overall. It turns out they liked racing in that class quite a bit. Sanden and McCal-lum, with only one clean lap the whole evening, did finish, a little over two hours behind them, for second. The 5-1600s were the next class to go, and Brian Goodrich took firm hold of the lead at the end of lap-one, with two minutes andJ 7 seconds on Jim Beeson, who ran second. In third it was Tim Lawr-ence, a veteran co-driver, but with his hands on the steering wheel for the first time, and he was only 4 7 seconds behind Beeson. Ken and Duane Basore ran fourth, about nine minutes later, and eve-rybody else was having serious troubles. Goodrich built his lead to about six minutes by the end of the second lap, with Beeson still second. Peter Brown, who'd taken over for Lawrence, lost a few minutes, but still held third, with the Basores steady in fourth place. The Lawrence/ Brown team again changed drivers, putting Tim's dad, Steve, in for the last two laps. Goodrich, feeling a bit weary, put DougJennings in for the third lap, and Jennings, nearly a foot shorter than Goodrich, had some trouble seeing over the dash-board. But, in spite of sliding the car over onto its side for a few -They had just a fad under three moments, he ran a good lap, and minutes on Jack Hettinger and held on to the lead.

No one else finished either. · The Big Truck class was led by Danny Smail and Herman Meis-ter, in a long-bed Ford, who had a nice secure-feeling 23 minutes on Perry McNeil, also in a Ford. McNeil, always a charger, had been blowing U-joints on his truck, and when he'd had to stop and change the fifth one, he finally decided he'd probably better slow down a bit. Mike Smith, in a Spencer Low four wheel drive Nissan chase truck, ran third. Mike had disconnected the front wheel drive for this race, since there was no 4WD class. The other trucks in the class were hav-ing troubles, and after long first laps, none came around a second time. Smail and Meister continued to lead, having a good race, but McNeil closed the gap some, and was 21 minutes back after two laps. Smith lost a little time, but still ran third. After three laps Smail and Meister still had 16 minutes, but· they had to pull into their pit for repairs to a broken spring. Tha_t cost them 20 minutes. McNeil lost his exhaust, but that didn't slow him; and he charged · ahead, with Smail and Meister pushing furious£ y to catch up. But the broken spring had lost the race for them, and MsNeil crossed the finish line in . third in the mini truck. The Small Truck class started next, and by the end of the first lap the Ford Ranger of Jonathan and James Hurley had the lead, followed by Al DeLaRosa and John Pekarek in a Nissan. Steve Fenton was third in his Datsun. But at the end of the second lap, with the Hurleys still in front,. Fenton moved into second place, and DeLaRosa and Pekarek never appeared again. Fenton, with a severely bent front A-arm, was stuck in the silt on the third lap, but still came out ahead, finishing that lap before the Hurleys, to get the win. The Hurley team, who lost a. whole hour, took second place on the basis of their three laps. It was too late in the evening for either vehi-cle to take off to try for a fourth lap, so Fud declared their race over after three laps. There was only one Class 6 entry for this race, the Corvair of Chuck and Mike McCormick; but they didn't even ·get to finish· the first lap. It was still 85 degrees as the race woundto·a close at approximately 2 a.m., and the wind, which had kept the course clear for the rac-ers, was still sandblasting the pit folks. Many thanks to Andy and Chuck DeVercelly, who gra-ciously allowed us to enjoy the comfort of their air-conditioned motor home during· the race. It was a life saver.

Robert Connor came off the front jumps in just about the same manner as Cumberworth, but was also saved from an ultimate roll. Wallace had claimed second place by this time with Dave Vander-missen Jr. also trying to show the hometown crowd his superior racing abilities. After being out for several laps, Probst was back in the race, but too much time and laps had gone by for him to make any serious moves on the leaders. Dave Jr. put on another show for the fans by moving· into second place and started to put the chase on Pops, but as the checkered flag came out it was obviously a Bark River· tribute as Dave Vander-missen, Sr. took first followed by Dave Jr. and Todd Wallace in third. The Class 11 two seater event was next on the schedule with eleven entries. Now a lot of credit has to be given to Class 11 driver Darren Parsons. It seems Darren couldn't get off work, so he gra-ciously allowed his wife Paula to fill in for him.

There's typical U.P. race week-end weather every year, which includes hot one day, and rain-the next. Well, Saturday pretty well took care of the hot, and Sunday definitely looked like a day for rain as ten Class 11 single seaters took to the track. As the green w;is shown, it was Andy Zipperer, Curt Gerald, Jeff Jones and Darrin Parsons fighting for the lead. Dar-rin quickly overtook Jones, but Jones retook the third place spot · almost as quickly. By the third lap Zipperer was already sitting on the sidelines watching the race as the new leader Curt Gerald took his position. Dennis Riemer started to move in on Parsons, who shortly after had mechanical problems and was scratched from the rest of the race. Jones had moved up to second, but it was Mark Steinhardt who slid ahead of Riemer for the third place fin-ish behind Gerald and Jones. The Class l-1600s opened the door for some good hard racing as eighteen buggies hit the course led by Jim Wiggins and Scott Taylor. Jeff Sakovitz found himself sitting sideways at the bottom of the funnel, and Dave Hameister had a problem with his hood, which came loose over the jumps and flew up to block his view. Scott Taylor had moved past Wiggins to take over first place with John Greaves slidding into the second place spot. Wiggins managed to hang onto third, but Jeff Probst was working his way to the top, starting with Jim Wiggins, as he passed into third. Cory Friday had a little problem with his air cleaner, finally losing it on the track, fqrcing him into the pits, where his pit crew installed a new one, and duct taped it into posi-tion. Scott Taylor had mustered a. substantial lead, b u t Prob st wasn't ready for a third place fin-ish. In a last ditch effort Probst overtook Greaves on the white flag lap for second place with Greaves coming in third and Jim Wiggins finishing fourth without his left front tire. The Class 7 and 8 pickups took the midday run with Dennis Fer-don taking the pole with Dave Hockers, Roger Lindsay and Pete VanDeHey·and Chuck Brand fin-ishing off the Class 8 contestants. Hockers, running hard overtook Ferdon to steal away the first place ·position with VanDeHey overtaking Lindsay for third. The rain had started to come down quite heavy, and the mud was get-ting to be a bit much for the big truck's cooling systems forcing most of them into pits, overheat-ing. Ferdon was one of the unfor-tunates who pitted, losing second place to VanDeHey, but then it was VanDeHey's turn to pit, a lucky break for Ferdon as he retook his second place spot right behind Hockers. Roger Lindsay, who always finishes the race, out-lapped VanDeHey for third place. Scott Taylor took the early lead in the Class 7 event while the other three drivers, Tom Hockers, Mark T oburen and Brian Farrell came down the ' funnel nose to nose. Scott Taylor's race only lasted one lap and it was Hockers' run for first place. Brian Farrell also was victim of mechanical problems leav1ng Mark T oburen in second, uncontested. The last points race of the day was reserved for the Class 1 single seat modified buggies, and it was Tom Schwartzburg in the lead with Art Schmitt and Kevin Probst being the aggressors. Both Probst and Dave Vandermissen Sr, 'were running the track with smoking engines, which got the best of Probst as he was out of the race in the early stages with a blown engine. Vandermissen, however, just kept plugging along. Sc h m it t was really pushing Schwartzburg hard as the rain continued. Shortly after the tim-ing tower, Schwartzburg suddenly seemed to be having problems, and got rear ended by Schmitt who had be.en running right on his bumper. Schmitt got by Schwartz-burg who only made it,a few feet further down the track before coming to rest near the· impound area. Dave Vandermissen, still smoking moved up to the second place hole with Lee Wuesthoff coming up for third. On the white flag lap Schmitt also started puf-fing smoke, and everybody won-dered if there was still enough power in the engine to get Schmitt across the finish line. Well, there was, and the Pennsylvania driver took home the first place check with Dave Vandermissen and Lee Wuesthoff taking second and third with Todd Attig coming in fourth. Ten big trucks, 4x4s and Class 13s gathered together for the Graham Trucking Heavy Metal Championship with Mark Seidler, Marc Pelletier, Jack Flannery and Greg Gerlach taking the top four spots off the start. By the end of the first-lap, positions had already changed as Pelletier was no longer in contention, with Gerlach in second followed by Flannery and Bill Lohf. A minor slip on Ger-lach's part by going wide on a corner was a fatal move for the General Tire truck by leaving an opening for Jack Flannery to move into second, followed by Lohf, forcing Gerlach down to fourth. Pelletier who was fighting to get back in the top four, went too hard over the front jumps, endoed and rolled finally landing upside down. John Znidorka who was running close . to Pelletier, gave the brakes pn his Class 6-the stress test and just missed hitting the rolled over 4x4. Although the cage of the Pelletier "truck was pretty well crashed, Marc was able to get out on his own and was going quite well. U nder the yel-low flag situation Flannery was able to make a little ground on Seidler, and passed as soon as the yellow was off to take first place right to the end.

Limited Championship. With the wave of the green it was Mike See-feldt, Ron Karlman and Scott Taylor down the funnel first. The · 5-1600 of Karlman went a little squirreley in the mud, bumping into Taylor, then running into the course marking tires, then spun out. Taylor was able to get out of some of the mess and continued on with his race, but lost serious ground. The new leaders included Seefeldt still in first with Kevin Probst and John Greaves in second and third. By the second lap Probst was really putting the heat on Seefeldt and by lap three held the lead with Seefelt now in second. The rest of the race was pretty calm and as the checkered flag was waved, it was Kevin Probst, Mike Seefeldt and John Greaves in the top three positions. There were thirteen entries for the A-1 Auto Paint Unlimited Championship with Probst and Schwartzburg causing the com-motion at the start of this race when Probst slid in the mud, slid-ing into Schwartzburg, with both cars landing in the pines at the bottom of the funn~l. The buggies survived much better than the pines, and the red flag was brought out for a restart. Two cars were already out of the race as the restart took place, but Tom Schwartzburg got another chance for first place as he led the team down the hill and past the pines. He was followed by Scott Taylor, Scott Schwalbe, Lee Wuesthoff, sporting a flat tire and the smoking Dave Vandermissen, Jr. Tom Lohf spun out coming down the funnel on lap two and Scott Schwalbe passed Schwartz-burg on the same lap to take over first place, with Vandermissen Sr. and Todd Attig running a tight second and third. Schwalbe was forced to pit and Vandermissen landed the first place spot with Attig still in hot pursuit. Attig found himself out of control for a moment, hitting the course markers, but continued on racing hard, finally overtaking Vander-missen. Schwartzburg had moved back up to third place and was running a consistent race. Dave Vandermissen seemed to disap-pear on the white flag lap, and it was reported that his buggy died up by the cemetery, putting Schwartzburg into second place, Lonnie Andrews seemed to come up from nowhere, and got his four-seater around Schwartzburg at the last moment to take second behind Attig. The last two races of the day pitted the women racers in head to head competition. The Heavy Metal ladies ran first with Karen Heidtman taking a good lead fol-lowed by Brenda Lemke and Shari Dusty nmc1 Recla. Lemke overheated and only finished one lap, and by the half way point the only two run-ning were Heidtman and Recla, and thus after seven laps, the winner and runner-up. Sandy Therriault snatched the iead posi-tion in the buggy class followed by the Class 11 drivers Chris Gerald and Paula Parsons. Chris got by Sandy for first with Paula closing in. As the three went past the tim-ing tower, Paula too passed Sandy then put a successful rush on Chris for first . Sandy retook second place pushing Chris down to third place followed by Lisa Andrews in fourth. The Bark River Lions Club as usual put on one heck of a race for the enjoyment of both spectator and racer making the thought of the 14th Annual something to look forward to.

-Bonneville Off Road Racing Report The season opened last April with the Fools Gold 200 at Wend-over, and despite high winds that weekend there was a good turn out of racers. The Saturday race program enjoyed beautiful weather, a little cool during the parade but warm enough by race time. Several of the 1-1600 cars elected to invite the unlimited entries into their fold, and the class ran as unlimited. The unlimited class ran in close quarters for most of the distance · with Mike Baker taking the lead on the second lap and holding on to win the class. Steve Siddoway ran very well, but had a flat tire on both the sixth and eighth laps, which cost time. Dan Baker, in his first off road race, was up to second . after two laps,J ,Et then This is the system run by most off road race winners destroyed the shocks and suspen-sion. Steve held firmly in second place after five laps, by three min-utes, but a quick seventh lap by Dan brought them in with Steve ahead by exactly ten seconds. Steve had a flat and Dan an even quicker eighth lap to take second place by a shade less than four minutes over Steve. Dan was 15 minutes behind overall winner Mike Baker who had a trouble free run, fast lap of 34.52 and he was first overall with a total time of 4:36.55. The largest class was 5-1600. The Wylie, Green and Gottschalk entry was out with a broken rear torsion housing on lap l, but the others stayed in a tight pack for two laps.

John Holmes was back another minute and Bob Chris-tensen was over four more min-utes behind. Deane Johnson had steering problems and retired after three laps. After three laps Guy Young was in first place by 18 seconds on Chris Klick and Rod Sorenson was another 34 seconds back. John Holmes was running con-sistent times but dropped back from the leaders, and Bob and Kathy Christensen were three minutes back of John. Young had trouble on lap 4 , and Sorenson turned fast lap for the class and led Klick by 14 seconds. Holmes was five minutes back, followed in four minutes by Young. The fifth lap put Klick back in front by seven seconds over Sor-enson, Young recovered third place followed by John Holmes, who then withdrew in a contro-versy over blocking on the course. Klick turned a quick lap and Sor-enson rolled, losing 15 minutes, while Young ran steady on the last four laps. At the finish Chris Klick won Class 5-1600 with a time of 4:59.18. Guy Young was about 12 minutes back in second, followed in another three minµtes by Rod Sorenson, with Bob and Kathy Christensen in fourth, another six minutes back in a very close finish. The truck class fell on hard times with several potential entries breaking before the start. Jerry Tydeman won it all in his big Class 4 Ford with a seven lap time of 5:44.05. In for second was Elbert Emley in his Toyota. The Sportsman class title went to Dave Bosgieter who broke in two races last season. This time the V -8 powered Vega led from flag to flag. But, first timer Todd Egbert kept the heat on and was close most of the way, but he had to make a pit stop for repairs and was second at the flag by 1 7 min-utes in the four lap race. The Ladies race ran on a short-ened course for about 30 minutes on Sunday morning, with three entries. Paula Bosgieter won the dash, followed home by Sue Sor-enson and Kay Magill. The Desert Cactus 250 ran on the same basic course as the sea-son opener near Wendover. Once again Classes 1-1600, 10 and unlimited cars ran together. Mike Baker drew first off the line in his class and ran dust free for fast lap of the day with a 32.45 time for the 23 miles. Mike was a shade over a minute ahead of his brother Dan, and Steve Siddoway was just a few more seconds back, fol-lowed in two minutes by Cloyd Oleson in his newly purchased Chenowth. Rick Holt and Gary Hogan both had problems, with Holt on the trailer after one lap, but Hogan, despite more trouble, kept on going. · Mike Baker had problems on lap 2 and fell behind Siddoway and Dan Baker, and they ran within seconds every lap through October 1988 ~ ¾ Mike Baker, from Ogden, Utah, started the season right, as he drove the 1-1600 Bunderson to the overall and Unlimited victory at Wendover. the fifth, when Steve pitted for 20 minutes. Hogan was replacing spindles on the middle laps, and Oleson blew his engine. Mike Baker fried his distributor on lap 7, and Dan Baker was also in the pits for repairs, which put Siddo-way right back in the race. At this point the overall win was up for grabs between Steve, Dan and John Holmes in his 5-1600, and the next two laps were so close that nobody was giving odds. Then Holmes went upside down briefly on lap 9, and Dan was leading by about two min-utes. Steve set his fastest time on lap 10, to set up an exciting finish. The stop watches were out as Dan Baker limped the last 500 yards and Steve was pressing in. At the flag Steve Siddoway won by 1: 19 over Dan Baker. Next came Mike Baker, Gary Hogan, and Cloyd Oleson and Rich Holt. Class 5-1600 was a flag to flag run for John Holmes, in with a 6:23.44 overall time and third place overall. Holmes ran flaw-lessly except for an easy roll on lap 9. Some of the others were not so fortunate. Guy Young had igni-tion trouble and went out after four laps, and Chris Klick hung it up after running real well through lap 4, then the ring gear broke. The Jim Magill/Rod Sorenson team ran steady all day long to keep the pressure on Holmes, but were down by 15 minutes at the flag. Bob and Kathy Christensen turned in one of the steadiest drives of the day with less than five minutes difference from the fastest to slowest laps, and they were third. The Baja Bug of Greg Wylie, MaxGreenandCliffGotts-chalk finally mastered their pre-vious woes and ran steady laps to a fourth place finish. The truck class was down in numbers but not in enthusiasm. Curtis Christensen and Mike :"1itchell had a new Toyota at Wendover, facing the Toyota of Elbert and Scott Emley. It was a surprise when Dave Bosgieter decided his V-8 powered Vega was a good match for the rice burners and jumped up from Steve Siddoway, of West Jordan, Utah, has three outright victories in 1988 in his new'this season 1-1600 Chenowth, and he leads overall on points. <. \:X:;l,.i/oiJiitY 'i~ Chris Klick, of Ketchum, Idaho, tests the Utah desert during the Twilite 200.

Sportsman Class. T he Emley Toyota left the line first, but the Toyota with Curt Christensen at the wheel showed its strength with a quicker lap than the others, and the Vega was second. On the sixth lap the Mitchell Toyota had broken motor mounts and spent a couple hours in the pits, and Bos-gieter was close enough to take the lead. The Emleys had ignition problems and retired after six laps, and they donated their throt-tle linkage to the Mitchell truck. Howeve~ Bosgieter still looked strong, although keeping the speed was getting tougher with failing suspension. Starting the ninth lap the · lead was down to one minute over Christensen/ Mitchell. The Toyota was running good and outdid the sagging sus-pension on the Vega for a ten minute advantage at the check-ered flag. The Wend over Express was held late inJune n~ar Delle, Utah, and we have no report on that race. From the points it appears that Steve Siddoway won the buggy class and Rod Sorenson took 5-1600 honors. Mark Brad-shaw apparently won the Sports-man dash, with Dave Bosgieter in second. The Twilight 200 ran in July, also at Delle, with a big thunder shower just before the race. The new course featured a figure 8 crossover at an· existing cross-roads, although a couple of entries that didn't pre-run got off course for a time. Dan Baker rolled on his way back to the course, and Bob and Kathy Chris-tensen didn't go far enoug):l to get their car dirty before a broken spindle put them on the trailer. Bob's other car, the Challenger driven by Dean Allred, didn't get much fa rther when the trans broke. Other woes included a broken engine in the Elbert Emley Toyota, a broken steering box in the Rod Sorenson Baja Bug, and ignition problems for Rick Holt. The lead on the first lap changed several times. Mike Bob and Kathy Christensen bring their 5-1600 Baja Bug from Clinton, Utah to race, and they have done quite well this season on the tough desert.

Chris Klick and co-driver Gary Brennan got their second win of the season in the hotly contested 5-1600 Baja Bug class. The d_uo had a healthy lead on the Greg Wylie/ Max Green team when the time expired. With midnight the time limit set by the BLM, the cars were stopped after completing five laps. The third spot went to the Guy Young entry piloted by Craig Holt and Greg Mark. Dan Baker, of.Ogden, Utah, really wrung out the pre-runner and took second overall, just 1:19 out, in Unlimited Class at the Desert Cactus 200. There were five entries for the Powderpuff race on Sunday morning, and they toolc off for 25 miles of serious racing. They left-the start with two first timers in the field, Alison Levin/Craig Clark and Sue McFarland/ Eliza-beth Lucido.

Over the years the format has changed from a couple of long laps in the desert to shorter mileage and more laps to cover. The race is a popular event, this year taking place on July 30. -It is unique, the only desert race that both starts and finishes in the darkness. It is designed to e~cape some of the searing desert daytime heat around Las Vegas, Nevada in July. The 1988 edition took place about ten miles south of Boulder City, off the old Searchlight Highway. This year there were few complaints of heavy dust, and many got wet. The wind blew up to 25 mph a.t the 8:00 p.m. driv-ers' meeting, and later in the eve-ning thunder and lightening storms plus flash floods plagued parts of the race course. At one point water was running three feet deep through Checkpoint 2 from fl.ash flooding. The drivers were told that complete light setups were mandatory for this event, and anyone spotted without lights, front or rear, would be pulled out. · The Unlimited cars in Class 1 and Class 2 started promptly at 9:00 p.m. and were led off the line b Tom Bradlt>y Jr. Class '\nd Cl.ass 1-2-i.60<.i fo owwi, th.

Soon after the start Checkpoint 2 radioed that a man with a gun had arrived, expressing concern over the- race using the road to his mine. The problem was resolved by SNORE officers. The weather worsened too,.and by 10:00 p.m. the winds were in excess of 40 mph. After one lap Troy- and Tim Herbst led the Unlimiteds in their two seat Chenowth, at 4 7 .11. But, Aaron Hawley was close at 4 7 .18, followed by LeRoy Van Kirk and Rick Rowland, 49.38, all three leaders in Class 2. Doc Ingram led Class 1 over Chic Spina, but Spina did not cover another lap. After two laps Hawley picked up some seconds with fast lap of the race of 46.45, and he and Herbst were tied to the second for the overall lead. Tom Bradley Jr. was back about three minutes in third. Van Kirk/ Rowland were now about five minutes back in ~ourth in this close contest. Midway Ron J3auer was miiss-ing, and the eight car starting field was down to six. Hawley had some steering problems and Herbst took a lead of four min-utes over Tom Bradley Jr., and Hawley followed in another cou-ple of minutes. Bradley went out on the fourth lap with axle woes, and five of the Unlimiteds were still charging through the night. Four laps into the race the Herbst brothers had a seven min-ute lead on Hawley, with Van Kirk/ Rowland back another four minutes. Doug Fraser moved into fourth ahead of Doc Ingram, who was driving the only surviving Class 1. On l;ip 5 Hawley gained five seconds on Herbst, and somewhere in here the Herbst car had been stopped and questioned about the lack of taillights. Van Kirk and Rowland had an hour and a half lap and were seen no more, nor was Fraser still running. Troy and Tim Herbst kept up the pace to win the race overall and in Class 2 with a time of 4:46.32-for the six laps. Aaron Hawley was second in class and overall, in with 4:57.42. Doug Fraser was third in Class 2, his five ·laps six minutes faster than those of Rowland and Van Kirk. Doc Ingram was the Class 1 winner with four laps done. Class 10 had five starters and they were all close on the first lap.

Midway Ellenburg held the lead by just over a minute over Her-man Salaz, and Centurioni, with Larry Job co-driving, was back three more minutes. Salaz turned a third lap time of 50.29, fast lap for Class 10. Centurioni and Job had the lead on the next lap, about three minutes ahead of Salaz, as John Ellenburg broke a tie rod and dropped ten minutes, but still held third. After five laps the bat-/ de raged on between Centurioni/ Job, two minutes up on Salaz, and Ellenburg now was just ten min-utes back. Both McGillivray and Bradley were out of the race. Herman Salaz retired on the last lap, but still placed third. The ORE of Steve Centurioni and Larry Job won Class 10 and fin-i~hed fourth overall in 5:21.34, over 13 minutes ahead of John Ellenburg, who was sixth overall and the last to finish six laps. Class 1-2-1600 fielded- seven cars and started out to be a tight race, at least up front. Rob Mac-Cachren led the first lap with a 51.13 in his Valley Performance Chenowth. Paul Kline was next at 52.48, followed by Pat Dean, 52.56, and Brad Inch, 53.01. While the others slowed on lap 2, MacCachren got faster and led Paul Kline by eight minutes, and Dean was another minute back. Brad Inch was out of the race with failed power steering, and nobody else was close. Kline disappeared on the third lap, as did J.D. Saunders, and the field was down to four. Mac-Cachren whipped off fast lap for the class, 48.51 to lead midway by 13 minutes over Pat Dean, and Rob picked up another four min-utes on lap 5. Rob MacCachren not only won Class 1-2-1600, but he finished third overall with a total time of 4:58.49. Pat Dean, racing o~t of the Valley Performance stable also, finished all six rounds for second in class and fifth overall, and teenager Pat just started off road racing this year. Both Gary Sewell Jr. and Patrick Galliher completed five laps, in third and fourth spots respectively.

But he did finish the five rounds, over· two hours behind the winner, but the second place finisher. There were 16 starters in Chal-lenger Class, and some started out very fast, and, only one retired on the first of five laps.

Steve Thompson was four minutes down in third, and Bryan Pennington set fast lap for the class at 55 .36, only to have -more trouble on the next lap. Doug Castillo and Steve Evers-meyer were both missing, and both Duane Smith and Steve Gooselaw had over two hour middle laps and vanished.

Daryl Nustad opened up another five minutes on the field on the last lap to win the Chal-lenger Class with a five lap time of 5: 17.50. Bryan Lutz stayed with the program to finish second, at 5:26.00, eaxtly ten minutes ahead of Steve Thompson.

-FOX IUVERFEST CHALLENGE Baja by Green Bay · Text & Photos: Walt Schwalbe Greg Gerlach flew his Chevrolet to a flag to flag victory in the first Class 14 heat, but trouble in the second round dropped him to third. The Fox Riverfest, held at the Brown County f:airgrounds by the "Bay Area Optimists" and sponsored by McDonald's Res-taurants·, The Green Bay Press Gazette and WFR V-TV is a week-end event. The activities include water sports, logging, fire fighting, fireworks, sky diving and off road racing in a multifaceted program that fills the weekend. The water activities consist of a water ski show, rowing clubs in action, boat radng, including antiques and outboards, and a hovercraft demonstration. Area fire fighters from eight communi-ties competed in water fights. Lumberjacks were represented by logging displays, demonstrations and log roUing. The off road rac- · ing, sanctioned by the Superior Off Road Drivers Association, was promoted by Richan;! Gilson of Wrightstown, WI. Because of a drought, fire bans were in effect and promoter Gilson spent Friday having gallons upon gallons of water dumped upon• the clay track. Although the surface was muddy at the start of the racing, it didn't take long for dust clouds to appear. The Saturday racing program staned with Class 11, with a good entry of 14 cars. Dwayne Wal-kowski led off the start, followed by Curt Gerald and Jeff Jones. Gerald went qut after one lap, and Jones followed Walkowski to the checkered flag. Glen Cummings and Mark Steinhardt came in for the third and fourth spots. Next came Dennis Reimer, Tom Arendt, Terry Strotzhein and Chris Ward. Only three showed up for the Class 10 battle, so the 10 heat ran with Class 5-1600. Todd Attig was out in front off the start, but he lost it in the 180 degree turn at the end of the first lap and never fully recovered. Todd Wallace grabbed his chance at first, but his lead was short as Scott Schwalbe powered around him in the next turn. Wallace stayed right on Schwalbe the whole distance to make an exciting race, but no error was made. It was Schwalbe first, Wallace second, and Attig third. -Class 5-1600 held five starters. Jeff Therriault led off the start fol-lowed by Terry Wolfe and Ron Karlman. Karlman overtook Wolfe after about five laps and then proceeded to work on Ther-riault. Karlman zoomed past Therriault with four laps to go, and went on to win the race. Ther-riault was second and Wolfe third, with Jim Rolefson and Paul Dallman bringing up the rear. Class 14 produced four entries, and Greg Gerlach was out in front for a flag to flag victory. Mark Seidler followed Gerlach all the way to the flag. Jack Heidtman came in for third spot in spite of ·being docked a lap tor course cut-ting and ecessary roughness. A hal ozen Class 13 rigs started, running at the same time as the 4x4s. Lowell DeGreef pushed out in front and stayed there for the distance, Sheldon Scray and Dave Vorphal ran hard trying to catch up. Vorphal, run-ning a Konit zer appearing machine, passed Scray in the third lap. It ended with DeGreef first, Vorphal sec6nd and Scray third. Don Liegeois, in a machine that reminded me of Sam Konitzer, took fourth, down quite a few laps. Ten started the Class 2-1600 battle. It was Mike Brue out in front, but not for long as condi-tions were very slippery in the mud. Gerry Parent led momentar-ily, but it was Scott Taylor, work-ing up from midway in the pack, who took the lead very early in the first lap, as most had trouble hand-ling the slippery corners. Taylor moved way out in front, followed by John Koran and Dale Borge-moen, who parked early giving the third spot to Brue. Taylor worked his way through the pack to take the checkered flag first, followed by Koran and Brue. In fourth it was Jeff St. Peter, fol-lowed by Doug Motto, both down a lap. Gerry Parent, Mike Sorensen and Bill Bowles finished in that order. Class 7S fielded five trucks, and Scott Schwalbe sailed to the win in the first Class 10 heat, dropped to second on Sunday, but won the class on points for the weekend. · Ron Kar/man had to work for his overall win in Class 5-1600, but he won both heats and the big points, in the SODA series as well. they raced at the .same time as moving from the back of the pack, Class 6.

Dave Hackers barely leads Dennis Ferdon in tfie second Class 8 Mark Seidler led the second Class 14 heat wire to wire, and with a heat, and after a race long battle Hackers took the narrow victory. 2nd on Saturday, he won the weekend points overal(in Class 14. Lowell DeGreef had a wire to wire win in his interesting looking Class 13 in the first heat, and he also finished second in the Sunday race. was passed by Dennis Ferdon in a 180 degree tum when everyone lost it except Ferdon. Gregorie took the lead back and raced to the checkered flag. This was a race of slipping, sliding, turning arounds and back ups to be able to go again. The race was held to eight laps because of conditions. Mud in his radiator caused Den-nis Ferdon to slow down, and then stop. It also took Pete Van-Delley out. At the finish it was Da_ve Hackers in second, Steve 2.elton third, followed by Roger Lindsay and Chuck Brand. Class 11S had a dozen starters and this was another slipping aml sliding event. Curt Gerald went flag to flag in first place, followed by JeftJones. Dwayne Walkowski moved from halfway back in the field to take third spot. Andy Zip-perer held on in fourth place, and his was the last car on the ninth lap. With eight laps done, com-pared to 14 for later classes, Cliff Holiday was fifth, followed in by Gerry Cote and Tom Robinson. The second Class 10 heat saw Todd Attig in the lead from the start to the checkered flag, fol-lowed home by Scott Schwalbe and Todd Wallace. The second Class 5, 1600 heat was a race for Ron Karlman all the way, as he put a lap on the field by the finish. Terry Wolfe took second and wasn't challenged all day. The lastthree places changed d4ring the race; but at the flag it was Jim Rolefson -third and Jeff Dusty nma Therriault in fourth. The second Class 2-1600 heat featured a clean start until the first turn, and then a pile up happened. It sorted out, and the second turn had another big pile .up. By the end of the first lap it was Scott Taylor in the lead, followed by John Koran to the checkered flag. Mike Brue settled into third spot on the third lap, Jeff St. Peter came in fourth, a lap down, as was Doug Motto in fifth and Gerry Parent, following in sixth. Class 13 had a close race in the second heat. Lowell DeGreef started out second and was threatening leader Dave Vorphal from early on. Sheldon Scray stayed right there to keep them both racing, until overheating set him back. Don Liegeois moved from the back of the pack up to the third flace at the finish. It was Vorpha first and DeGreef second, while Tim Jensen settled for fourth. In the second Class 14 heat Mark Seidler led off the start to a clean victory, but he was kept honest by Jack Heidtman, just behind him. Greg Gerlach had trouble at the start, and finished third, on the lead lap. Jon Kaempf led off the Class 6 second heat, but was overtaken by John Znidorka in the fourth lap. Kaempf was out, moving Allen Fannin to second. Fannin then moved passed Znidorka to take first place at the checkered flag. Third went to Gary Gottschalk, Scott Taylor won both heats in Class 2-1600, but he didn't fare as well in the same car in 1-1600 action, but was second for the weekend. down many laps. Class 7S was a flag to flag romp for Scott Taylor, who was fol, lowed to the finish by Tom Hackers and Willard Hawley. In the second Class llS heat Jeff Jones held the lead for six of the 14 laps. Quite a difference from the mud of the earlier heat when only nine laps were covered in the same time. Curt Gerald exchanged the first and second spot with Jones for a few laps, and it was Gerald in front when it counted. Mark Steinhardt took third spot, all the way, followed by Kent Ewert. Cliff Holiday was down a lap in fifth. The second Class 1-1600 heat was restarted with the first and second spot off the line a repeat. Dale Borgemoen had a flag to flag first place. Jim Wiggins lost his second place to Scott Taylor with two laps to go. Scott came from sixth spot way back in the field for his second place finish. Dave VanDenElzen settled for fourth. Bryan Frankenberg came in fifth and John Greaves was sixth. In the second Class 8 heat it was Dave Hackers, Dennis Ferdon and Pete VanDeHey running close at the start. VanDeHey went sideways and Hackers and Ferdon went out in front to the checkered flag in that order. Roger Lindsay came in for third, down one lap, followed by Steve Zelton in fourth. It was noted that fifteen laps were made in this second heat, compared to the eight laps made in the mud of the first heat. Karen Duquaine led the first two laps in the Women's Heavy Metal race, but was overtaken by Shari Recla in a vehicle called 'Sha Boom, which went on for the win. Duquaine took second, followed by Sue Mullins and Marilyn Schultz. In the Women's Buggy battle Chris Gerald, in a Class 11 car, took the first place in a four vehi-cle class. Bobbianne Nelson rolled her Class 2-1600 car. It was right-ed and off she drove to roll it again without making lap one. Kathy VanGheen, driving a 1-1600, came in for the second spot. So the race ended, a race the gods must have been watching over. It quit raining just in time to allow Sunday's racing, and even though it was rough on the first few classes, it was done. I heard it said, if you want rain in Brown County, just· throw an off road race, and that is mostly true judg-ing by my experience at Green Bay.

t, t ., ' David Ashley Flies at Glen ~elen Miller Off Road· Challenge By Elaine Janes Photos: Trackside Photo Enterprises w: The Cross Cars/Odysseys provide some of the most entertaining and the closest racing at Glen Helen, with whole packs battling for the lead most of the time. David Ashley took his Motor-· craft/ Fairway Ford/ Bosch spon-sored Ranger and made a rough course silk smooth especially " Animal Leap" where Ashley flew higher and further than anyone else. Names familiar to Stadium Truck racing were on hand getting fine tuned for Score's Riverside. In the first heat the only one to challenge Ashley was Joey Moore in his Wayne's Machine/ General Tire/Pro Gas Chevy. The other two competi-tors never made it to the line. In the second heat Walker Evans came out charging putting his Jeep in the lead and never looking back. Ashley followed him home, content to save it for the main event. Again the only two to make the grid were Ashley and Evans both Riverside residents and friendly rivals. Ashley got the drop on Evans off the line and it was the beginning of the end with Ashlev taking total command. RING IN THE NEW YEAR ON THE DESERT Race in the BUDWEISER DUNAWAY · DASH Sat., Dec. 31, 1988 New Year's Eve Party After the Race Info: FUD (619) 427-5759 Page 31 Walker also had his big Dodge Desert Truck on hand and Evan; his son, was feeling out his BFGoodrich/Sports Fuel Datsun as they put on an exhibition that proved why he is considered one of the best. . Class 10 was full of surprises and some new faces. The first heat had Gary Dillon from Sepulveda in his Dillon Construction/ Funco Rabbit make a spectacular move on the first lap that took him from fifth to first in one trick pass. He liked the feeling so much he stayed in front for the rest of the race. Chuck Adamson, from Hermosa Beach in his Body Glove/ Funco/ Vellion VW, locked into second and held off Vince Tjelme-land of Yorba Linda in his General Tire/ Sabina VW for one lap and Randy Rhinehart from Culver City in his W eh-Cam/ BFGoodrich/ Funco VW for two laps to take the second spot. Gary Gall of Fontana was more than happy to move into third when Rhinehart was sidelined. Rhinehart got the jump on the field in the second heat but it did him no good when he was again out of it by the end of the first lap. Gall was again the man on the spot and took over the lead and never looked back. Dillon looked to have second locked up but Dave Bonner of Riverside in the Martec Pacific lnc./VW Rabbit snatched it away on· the last lap to drop Dillon to third. It was an unevent-ful main as Gall led the way fol-lowed by Dillon and Rhinehart. The first heat of 1-2-1600 had Andy and Leslie Anderson in their Lompoc based VW out on top and doing one of their catch me if you can numbers. This time the scenario was changed on the last two turns of the last lap when Steve Bishop of Westminster in his Bishop Racing VW did the catching and came up with the win. The Andersons were second and Carlos Zuniga ~f W estmin-ster in his Zuniga's Auto Body VW rounded out the field in third. . In the second heat Zuniga got out on top with Rick Boyer of Bakersfield in his Independent l'ipe and Tubing Funco VW, in second and Bishop third. Bishop ran into trouble early on and Anderson had taken over third on the second lap. One lap later the Andersons again played hop scotch but this time they went all the way to the top dropping Zun-iga to third. Anderson had the win with Boyer keeping his head and the second place and Zuniga was third. The main was a wire to wire romp ·for the Andersons. Zuniga was out second but with three laps done he was a victim of broken tie rods and could only watch as Boyer took over second and held off Steve Bishop for the rernainin~ Rick Boyer drove his Funco to second place in the second Class· 1-2-1600 heat, and after much shuffling, Boyer took second in the main event too. October 1988 Gary all led all the way in the second Class 10 heat, and he did the same-act in the main event to win handily and take home the winner's purse of $486.

In the second heat Wiggins shot off the line followed by Mario "P" and Stacy Fay. Mario was loaded for bear and in one lap had taken over the lead. W iggins' problems were just beginning as Fay liked the second place finish and decided to repeat. Wiggins was definitely having some major problems as he kept falling further behind letting Curve) Fer-guson of Fountain Valley pick up the third. The Main event was clear sailing for Mario as all Fay and Ferguson could do was follow him home. The Challenger Class had more entries than usual whifh is always a plus for spectators. Snow Thornsberry of Lake Elsinore in Millerd must have taken a speed reading course because he was out on top in the second heat and ,immediately started putting daylight between himself and the rest of the field. Conlin got off second but the distance that Mil-lerd opened up was just too great and time was just too short to do anything more than finish second. Antonio Cortez of Anaheim was third all the way.

Unlike most tracks, here the women get to run the first thing in the morning, or at least the women buggy drivers do. This popular time spot brought out three Class 11 women and four limited engine drivers. ·The limit-eds took the front row and it was Kathy VanGheem who took the holS! shot at the wave of_the green. Rhonda Smith suffered a bad start, but being the expert driver she is, she stormed her way right to the top by the second lap leav-ing VanGheem in second. Lee Dallman suffered a round of bad luck when she rolled the Class 5-1600 "Froggy's Toy", but it didn't stop there; the Bug righted itself, and in the confusion, Lee , engaged the gas pedal instead of the clutch, and after taking out one tree, finally came to rest nosed up to another tree. Track workers sped to the scene only to realize Lee's nightmare hadn't quite ended. It was obvious from the horseshoe shape ·of her wrist that there were broken bones. A consultation with the EMT's sent her on another ride, this time to the hospital where surgery was inevitable. The good news came later that afternoon when reports came back to the track saying Lee was out of surgery and doing fine. Meanwhile back at the races, Paula Parsons snapped up the Class 11 lead, but she too got too close to a tire and ended up with a broken spindle and a lost first place spot. Chris Gerald quickly moved up to the top spot and ran it to -the checkers for the first fol-lowed by Dawn Ward in second. The men started off their day of racing with the Class 4 event, with the addition of a Class 3.

he put it in all the right gears to lead all the way from start to fin-ish. Bill Shirm piloted his Class 3 Jeep quite well to hold the second place spot for half of the race, finally being overcome by Jack Heidtman who went on to take the second place finish. The only buggy race scheduled for Sunday brought out the Class 9, 10 and 5-1600s. The Class 10s took the line first with the lonely Class 9 of Chuck Johnson takin~ a delayed start of 15 seconds. Chuck was just out there trying out the car, running only for his own entry fee, but it was hard to tell he was out there just for the fun of it. The Class 5-1600s moved up to their starting posi-tions and awaited the green in their class. Scott Schwalbe led the Class 10s with quite the finesse, with the Michigan boy, Todd Wallace running number two. Robert Connor also tried to take out a tire, and Chuck Johnson was on his way to blowing everyone's side panels off, as he moved from fifth to fourth to third in three laps then on to the top spot, leav-ing Schwalbe eating his dust. As the checkered came out, Johnson ran a good race screaming his Class 9 to an unrecognized first place, with Scott Schwalbe com-ing in to claim first in Class 10, followed by Todd Wallace and his Michigan counter part Dave Vandermissen, Jr. Six Class 5-1600s came off the start with Terry Wolfe in the lead, followed closely by Ron Karlman. The two veteran Baja Buggers continued on to play a game of musical chairs for the next few laps with Wolfe being first, then Karlman, then Wolfe, then Karl-man. But, suddenly there was no Wolfe, and it was time for a Sun-day ride for Karlman. Jeff Ther-riault allowed the two rivals to battle themselves to oblivion and then stepped into the second place spot after all the rivalry was over. Jim Rolefson ran strong to John Znidorka drove hard to make up the 30 second staggered start to not only win Class 6 going away, but he beat all the Class 7S trucks too. Mark Seidler ran a strong race in the combined Classes 4, 14 and 3 event, and he led in his Class 14 rig from the start to the finish line. · Scott Schwalbe drove to first place in Class 10 at his home track, but he finished second overall behind Chuck Johnson in the combined race. the third place spot until mechan-ical problems left the door open for Paul Dallman to outlap Rolef-son by one lap to claim the third place finish. Pete Van De Hey led the first half of the Class B race, but a late pit stop put his truck out of the race that Dave Hackers eventually won. The Class 8s left a cloud of dust too thick to really even see who was leading at the start, but when the dust cleared, it was Pete Van-DeHey out front with Dave Hackers and Dennis Ferdon being theagressors. VanDeHey held the lead for almost half of the Class 8 race until a trip to the pits put him out of the feud. Don Gregoire, Jr. took a leap off the jumps coming into the hairpin, and seemed to ride his front bumper for the longest time before landing, then hitting the big tire. The hard jump didn't seem to bother him as he just kept right on racing. Dave Hackers took over where Van-DeHey had left off with Frank Hood coming up after Ferdon's breakdown to run second. With only two laps to go, Hood found his truck didn't want to go any· further and Old Reliable 899 came up to give Roger Lindsay, the driver, a second place trophy. Class 13 features a variety of body styles, and this high flying creation of Tony Votis finished fourth with a smoking engine.

Page 36 outside Japan. Unable to compete against the European political expertise and quick-reaction engineering capabilities of the European manufacturers, the Asia Pacific series is the obvious opportunity for the Oriental teams. The rally itself maintained its four day format, this year the final day saw a full day's activity, but with a much less energetic first day compared to last year. The first day was a big disappointment because plans to run a three lap Superspecial on a horse track were wrecked by FISA's post-Portugal Rally pronouncements. Then there was a bizarre devel-oprnent at stage 4. The Waitemata City Council this year adopted by-laws limiting smoking in pub-lic places, and refused the applica-tion for road closing rights for the stage because of the Rothmans sponsorship of the rally. The first day had already been a short day of rallying. It was decided to run one of the earlier stages twice. Only 51 km of stages were run on Saturday, making the first leg little more than a half day's tour of the Riverhead Forest, just 30 km north of Auckland. Thrown in for spectator fun were three other stages, the first one right October 1988 New Zealanders David Strong and Jeff Grove had some woes, but they kept the Daihatsu Charade G Tti moving to take the Group N lead late in the rally and also place ninth overall. -after the start at the Auckland Domain in the heart of the city. Then, after three forest stages, there was a stage through a quarry and round an industrial estate, and the final one, in darkness, round another industrial estate, all on asphalt. Haider made best time at the Domain by three seconds from McRae, while Shinozuka was third in the four wheel steering Galant. Things were to change drastically when the rally reached Riverhead, however, for the Maz-das of Ray Wilson and Neil Allport were considerably quicker, and Allport was in the lead. McRae was nowhere to be seen! His engine had failed after just 2 km of stages, making his long journey from Britain a real loss. On the third stage Wilson was again quickest, and Shinozuka lost some 20 seconds with a blocked gearbox. The same prob-lem had happened on Test Dry, so it was decided to withdraw the car. Others were having problems too, Bourne with brake cooling, David Officer with exhaust cool-ing, and Tony Teesdale, engine management computer on the Mazda. Allport was holding second place through the forests, but in the quarry he hit a rock and lost 15 seconds, then spun on the final stage, ending the day in fourth place. The star of the show was Wil-son. Fastest on all three Riverhead stages he arrived back in Auck-land with a 24 second lead. He has only one national rally win to his credit, and here he was leading a World Championship Rally! Haider was content to be lying third. It had been a strange day; only three cars had retired, another two were allowed to start, but were then excluded for arriv-ing at the pre-rally pare ferme too late. Ray Wilson began the second day in the lead. Two stages on asphalt began the day, and both were taken by Haider. But then the ensuing gravel stages were 4x4 territory. Teesdale's Mazda was going much better and actually made best time on stage 13. David Officer was still off the pace, but one of the big surprises was the performance of the British Group N champion Simon Stubbings, whose mildly modified Mazda was now lying tenth. Allport edged into sharing the lead with Wilson on stage 14, and got ahead on stage 15. This was the first of two consecutive asphalt stages, where Haider once again was the fastest. Next came the two T olco-roa forest stages and the surprise was that Haider made best time on both of these. Stubbings' engine failed, so now Haider was the only European left in the event. Allport had front transmission trouble, and Wilson had an eight minute flat. Haider was out front and pulling ahead, and at the end of the day 16 seconds separated the top three Group N cars. The third day of the New Zea-land Rally was one of the most extraordinary in the history of World Championship Rallying. Haider held on to a lead he never expected to keep, and increased it from seconds to nearly 20 min-utes! Ray Wilson set off in 11th position and came back in second place. Six of the top ten drivers retired or were badly delayed, and a Group N Suzuki was in tenth place overall. The drivers at Rotorua awoke to the clatter of rain on the coof, and the third day was four wheel drive stuff, and it had rained all night and the rain was getting heavier by the minute. Immed-iately the day started Bourne had to change a gearbox, and on the second stage Allport went off the road for 25 minutes. Teesdale moved into second and was catch-ing Haider, fast. By stage 22 Tees-dale was in the lead, and on stage 23 he was off the road backwards and upside down in a fence. Dusty nma

World Championship Rally of Argentina Text & Photos: Martin Holmes - . Rudolf Stohl and Ernst Rohringer flew the Audi 90 Quattro on a SuperSpecial and to fourth in the rally, the WCR debut of the 90 model. At home on the Cordoba stages in the mountains, Jorge Recalde and Jorge Buono took the Lancia Delta lntegrale to victory, the first for Recalde and the first World Championship win for a South American driver. Jorge Recalde became the first South American driver to win a World Championship Rally, when he won his home Rally of Argentina. He avenged the memory of throwing away his chances here last year, and he matched the times of his team, mate Miki Biasion tnroughout the rally. It was an event in which both Lancia drivers suffered troubles. After taking the lead on the first day, Recalde lost it when he hit a rock, damaging the front suspension. Later, on the third section, Biasion stopped for about 7½ minutes with electrical trouble, giving the Argentine an unexpected three minute lead. Third place went to privateer Lancia driver, Austrian Franz Wittmann, who also damaged his car in the rocks on the same stage where Biasion stopped. Still second place for Biasion puts him even further into the lead in the World Drivers' Championship. The size of the entry in Argen, tina was impressive with 81 start, ers, even though the top profes, sional level was very poor. Having won the Manufacturers' Champ, ionship in America, Lancia went with the two cars for Biasion and Recalde. Franz Wittrnann's Lan, cia had been upgraded from HF 4WD to lntegrale standard. Rudolf Stohl had an Audi 90 Quattro for this event, while Georg Fisher'.s Audi was the ex, works car he drove in the Olym, pus. These five cars were in a class of their own. The rally route was very much like last year, except two stages went in reverse direction. There were two S'-!perspecials, one at the start on a horse track in suburban Buenos Aires, and the other on the third day at Cosquin. The car, nival atmosphere at the Palermo Hippodrome was infectious as the rally began. The organizers wanted the 40,000 spectators to fully enjoy themselves. The Superspecial stage was just 3.07 km long, with many chicanes and both a water crossing and an artificial ramp jump at the end of a straight. Some drivers thought the ramp would be an easy jump. But, Wittmann was the first of the three Lancias to fly unexpectedly high into the air, and he landed heavily on the nose of the car, and broke the oil cooler. "They must have raised the ramp you know," Dusty nmc1 he said, facing a·long night's drive towards Cordoba with possible damage due to the lost oil. Others had damage also. Maciel broke his transmission and had tci be pushed out of the arena, Raies broke his gearbox, and Ricardo Pasialso broke a gearbox, all three driving Renault 18GTX cars. Wittmann was surprised when the times were posted and his was the fastest by about four seconds. No one knew until they arrived in Argentina that the organizers had cancelled the four hour rest halt in Cordoba before stage 2. The transit from stage 1 to stage 2 was a hefty 740 km all night drive, after which the competitors were sent to the first series of stages. In these mountain stages close to Cordoba, Recalde was King, 18 seconds faster than his teammate on stage 2, and another 13 on stage 3 before Biasion got the edge on him in the other two. Biasion explained that he was having hand, ling problems. The "King of the Pampas" was 20 seconds in front when the cars finally reached the Cordoba sta, dium. Lancias filled the top three places. Ernesto Soto was three minutes back in fourth, but where were the Audis? Stohl had rolled one and a half times after hitting a hole, and lost over seven minutes. Fischer's service car was late reaching Argentina by boat, so he shared resources with Stohl, and Fischer hit a bank and rolled on stage 3. Soto apart, the 170 bhp Renaults were having a dreadful time. All the others were being headed by the 150 bhp Regattas of De Giovanni and Bescham and the 145 bhp VW Gol 1.6 cars of Uruguyans Gustavo Trelles and Luis Etchegoyen. Many more had time delays and a lot had hap, pened in just five stages. The second leg stretched from Cordoba across the hills to Mina Clavero and Villa Dolores and back. Mina Clavero is Recalde territory, he was born there, and this is still his family home, even though the little town is in the back of beyond. With Biasion starting the day 20 seconds behind, this was the moment for a grand attack by the Argentine, to put as much distance between him and his teammate. Last year Recalde threw away this chance with a spin, and this time he spun again. He lost little time, but Bia, sion had taken seven seconds off the lead. Recalde pulled back five on the second stage, but on the third stage he spun again, and again dropped seven seconds. On stage nine Biasion took six seconds back, Recalde now was five seconds in front, and on stage 10 the Italian gained another three. The gap was QOW two seconds. But close to home on the last three stages, Recalde showed his local knowledge. The gap increased to five seconds, then to 13 and by the return to Cordoba, Recalde led by 15 seconds. Wittmann had been continuing along in third place. On every stage of the day he was third fast, est, even though he broke an anti, roll bar, which broke a rear drive, shaft, and cost him a one minute time penalty. Fourth/lace driver Soto was far behin , driving a rally of his own. Starting in 13th spot was Stohl in the still dented Audi 90 Quattro. There were few other happen, ings in the day.

The rally, heading back towards Cordoba, paused for the Super Special on the new interna-tional motocross course at Cos-quin. On the two kilometer course up and down a dusty and windy hillside, Recalde thrilled the crowds by beating Biasion by a second. Then came the final stage of the day. Miki Biasion suddenly stopped on the stage with a blown fuse, that took seven minutes to fix. The lead passed back to Newlealancl (from page 36) Bourne was charging hard and got back in second, only to have gear-box failure again. Halfway through the day the rally was unrecognizable. Allport lost another 25 minutes, this time on his roof. Tortoise Haider was fighting off the hoard of hares, and the Opel was now running far ahead of the others with a 15 minute lead toward the end of the day. It was all quite eerie. At the finish for the day, Haider held an 18 minute lead, Allport was up to Lancia. · Recalde. Then came more drama. Witt-mann hit some stones on the road and his car shot into the air and landed heavily, on its nose, and the right side rear suspension was wrecked. Officials were aghast as he drove into the pare ferme on three wheels. What would they do? How could they permit the car to continue in such an unsafe state? The organizers decided to allow Lancia mechan-ics to enter the closed area to fix the crippled Delta, timed as they worked and the driver would be penalized accordingly. Five mechanics were given the job in 18th, but far from happy with his engine and decided not to restart. Haider hoped the final day would have no nasty surprises; certainly it was a relief to see stars in the sky that night and a warm sun after dawn. After three stages Haider voluntarily checked in to start five minutes late, so that Ray Wilson would have the dubious pleasure of opening the route and clear away some of the little stones. Nobody had much of a go at the head of the field. But, in Group N there was unexpected life. After Seiichiro Taguchi, Mazda 323 4WD, had the morning and they took just four minutes to get the car driva-. ble again. The decimation of the local crews continued unabated. Miguel T orras suffered endless gearbox trouble, and Claudio Israel broke the rear suspension on his Toyota Corolla. The Fiats were faring no better. Bescham had given up the day before and his Regatta teammate De Gio-vanni hit a bank in the dust which damaged the steering and finally retired with engine trouble. After the rush and tear getting Wittmann's car running again, there was little to report on the led at the opening day Domain stage, Masakazu Goto, Mazda, led right through to stage 22. On stage 23 he went off the road, and Sano, Toyota Celica, pulled him back. Taguchi also went off, los-ing less time, and took over the lead. Goto then displeased his sav-iour Sano and collided with him trying to pass, while Taguchi damaged his radiator and differ-ential. Taguchi went on until stage 26, where he retired because of accident damage, leaving Goto in the lead until his gearbox failed on stage 33. This left the Suzuki of Murray Walker in front, but final day. Ninth place man Alber-tengo disappeared, which brought the Group B Fiat up to tenth place, and the Suzuki of the Chil-ean Urrutia up to tenth place for FIA standings. Recalde's victory gave the Argentines something to be excited about for the locally entered cars had fared badly. The highest placed Argentine entry was that of racing driver Juan-Maria Traverso in the Renault 18 GTX. For the second time in three years Argentine entries were beaten by the Subaru of Chilean driver Jose Celsi who was fifth overall. Even in Argentina the Lancia catching fast was David Strong, who finally passed Walker with only three stages to run. Of the 51 starters, 24 finished the 1979 km route, of which 611 km were stages. Josef Haider and Ferdinand Hinterleitner won Group A and overall in the Opel Kadett GSi by nearly 19 minutes. Ray Wilson and Stuart Lewis got the Mazda 323 4WD home second, followed by Malcolm Stewart/John Kennard in an Audi Coupe Quattro. David and Kate Officer finished fourth in the Mir-subishi Starion Turbo, followed by Ross Meekings/ Steve March, Delta lntegrales rolled to a 1-2-3 victory. Jorge Recalde and Jorge Del Buono won by over 3½ min-utes over Miki Biasion and Tizi-ano Siviero, who were about 25 minutes up on Franz Wittmann and Jorg Pattermann. Rudolf Stohl and Ernst Roh ringer got the Audi 90 Quattro home fourth, another 1 7 minutes off the pace. Miki Biasion now has a 38 point lead in the drivers' points battle, and the following five drivers are all also in the Lancia stable. Now the series leaves the New World for a return to the Old World with the Rally of 1000 Lalces in Finland, late in August. Toyota Corolla 16 V.

The Group B winner was the team of Chris Clarke and Graeme Robertson, over an hour behind the winner, driving a Datsun 1200 pickup, however that got into Group B. Ross Meekings and Steve March kept a steady but not spectacu-lar pace to bring the Toyota Corolla 16 valve to the finish line in fifth overall. Looking more like a Baja Safari entry, this 1200cc Datsun pickup carried Chris Clarke and Graeme Robertson to the checkered flag, the Group B winners at that. Among the leaders for some time, the Mazda 323 4WD of Neil Allport and Robert Haldane went out on the 30th stage with serious engine trouble. SCCA Southcm Pacific Division Pro Rally Report By Lynnette Allison, Steward a beautiful Mazda 323. Mike has been a co-driver, driver and event organizer during his years with our Pro Rally group. Mike was considered a "new" competitor for about four years, theq some of the "old timers" realized he was making a name for himself. They figured it was better to have him "join them than beat them", so he was coerced into stepping in as an organizer at Glen Helen OHV Park, then a new facility. Mike created the first Glen Helen Ral-ly sprints: Our 1988 season opened on October 17, 1987 with a great event at Glen Helen. Mike also put together "882" on Feb-ruary 13, 1988. Limited to one event per season, Mike earned twenty championship points as an organizer. trading seats with Mike as driver, Paula offers a great challenge to competitors in any class. Paula started rallying as a driver while still a teenager, managing to become one of the "old timers" before the age of 25. A strong competitor with a heart of gold, Paula earned 40 organizer points. points for 1988. Leonard Jensen is a Pro Rally competitor from way back, who returned to the flock just a few years ago. Running an immaculate Mazda RX-7, Leonard met his match at the Cliffs of Gorman in 1987 when his car rolled over a few times. Taking revenge, Leon-ard opted to organize this year's event, and it became two events on the same weekend. Leonard earned 20 championship points for his efforts, and he didn't have to roll the car to do it. The 1988 Southern Pacific Di-vision Pro Rally Championship series is about to close. The results from the Hungry Valley Rally and Got My Fill Hill Rally were not in at press deadline, but, current point standings indicate an outstanding year of growth with the inclusion of many new teams in our special Pro Rally community. Allow me to honor, however, some of the "old timers" who have worked so dili-gently to create these many rally events for you. Each event organ-izer, in accordance with the 1988 Pro Rally Rules, earned organizer points toward the season's champ-• ionship. Congratulations! And thanks. Paula Gibeault, working with her husband Mike, created one of Southern California's golden events, Rim of the World. Often Rob Cherry started as co-driver with infamous Mike Whitman in a striking orange Datsun 510. Rob is known as the only co-driver to tell his driver to slow down because the sound barrier was meant to be broken only by jets. Mike is now an airline pilot, and he may yet be trying for the air-speed Pro Rally Champion-ship. Rob moved into the desig-nated "old timers" group in 1985 with his first Prescott Forest Rally. This year's Prescott Rally ran with a full bore Co-efficient 3 rating, earning him 60 organizer Roger Allison was snatched by Mike Gibeault in 1971 to operate as co-driver, and Roger now operates as co-driver, driver, ser-vice crew and general leader in rally sportsmanship. One of Cali-fornia's unique rally organizers, Roger created the concept of course worker assistants, running seeding stages during the day, spe-cial timing clocks for rally con-trols, and was the first to incor-porate the National/FISA timing and control system into So-Pac Divisional events as a standard practice. Roger and Randy Hens-ley created the first East of ln.dio Rally in 1981, which evolved into the Indio Endurance Rally series. With two National events in the traditional time slot, he offers a new event for 1989, El Camino A Las Estrellas Rally. For his work on the Indio Rally, Roger earned 60 points. There is a new event in Nevada, and it is a must. Everyone should plan on the Mason Valley Rally, October 15-16, 1988, headquar-tered at the Casino West in Yerington, NV.

Bobby Bramblett raises some red dust in the corner, and Bobby, GORR A 's Challenger Class is growing each race. Here one of GORRA 's faithful, finished a strong third on the day. newcomer Steve Langley leads the Lithia Automotive racer out of a tight turn. Georgia Off Road Racing By Bob Rule Photos: Keith Williams, Lithia Automotive Like all races, the start gets a little tight heading for the first turn. Here Mickey Smallwood leads Bob Rule and the rest of the field from the green flag. The Georgia Off Road Racing Association has been around since 1974. Their 1988 racing season got started late, but it will end with a bang. The premier event is the Thanksgiving 250, a Six Hour Enduro. The highlight this season is the fact that GORRA has a permanent race site, 45 acres just south of Atlanta. So the club has a place to race for as long as they want it, and, all the work done this year will still be around to enjoy next year. The August race at Vienna was fairly quiet. The weekend started on Saturday night at the Colonial Inn at Exit 36 on I-75. A pool party and good ole fashioned bull session highlighted the evening. One nice thing about all GORRA events is they are family affairs, even a buU session. N<>thing was planned for Saturday night, it just happened. Now that we have our own race course, we would like to see some of the semi-retired GORRA members show up again. The race format held the usual five lap heats and a SO mile com-bined feature race.'The only excit-ing thing about the heats was Tra-vis Hurst's return to the driver's seat. It was the first time since his mishap at the Florida 400 in March. He drove the family Chal-lenger Class car, and when the heat was over he had both a frown and a smile on his face, if that is possible. The smile - his back felt great. The frown - his new motor was a dog. He said he guessed wrong and it was back to Dusty nmc1 the work shop. The Hurst car was done for the day. Another noticeable event in the 1600 heat was Sammy Herrell. He , did us all in again. Starting dead last, he led the first lap and every other lap the entire day. Dennis Aiken drove the only 1600 car that could stay in the same lap with Sammy. Newcomer Steve Langley wori both the heat race and the feature in the. Challenger Class. This is our fastest growing class, and next year we should really have a good field of cars. It's a great way to get started in racing or to just have a fun Sunday afternoon. The feature race combined all classes, with 10 starting first, fol-lowed by the 1600s, then the Challengers. Mickey Smallwood did not start the feature due to broken suspension on his 1600. Bob Rule broke a clutch cable on his 1600 working on lap 5, and lost five laps. So much for his day, but he finished fifth. James Hes-ter, driving the Hurst 1600, was running a strong race and broke an axle on lap 22. Ronnie Whig-ham's 1600 was driven by himself in the heat race, and by Charles Lowery in the feature. A bad back keeps Ronnie from full time driv-ing. Charles has not been around for ·a while:'and everyone was all smiles to see him back. He hasn't forgotten how to drive either, fin-ishing fourth on the day. Bobby Bramblett drove stead-ily all day and finished.third on'! lap behind the ieade and in a lap all by himself. Denni Ai in chased Sammy Herrell all day, and finished second, about 15 seconds behind the flying Sammy. This was Sammy's third straight · victory. Seems like every year we have a new strong front runner. Wish my turn would come up! I've also been asked to DITTO that for Bill Porter, Jack Thomp-son, etc. Sorry fellows, there is not enough room. Everyone must be getting used to the track. No one turned over this week. Good job fellows. · News from the pits includes the insurance regulation that bans children under 12 from the pits. They must be on the spectator side of the fence. There is a good news - bad news story about Dennis Aiken. Dennis, along with four other GORRA entrants, ventured to the Crowder Pits in Tallahassee for the three hour Fast ;unning Sammy Herrell is having a-great year in the 1600 class. He took his third win of the season, leading every lap in his heat and the 50 mile feature. race on Labor Day weekend. Dennis came home with the first place gold. The bad news is that it was his last race in the southeast for a while. Dennis is moving back to Jackson, Michigan in Sep, tember, but he says he will be back for some races next year. We wish you well, Dennis. The 1988 General Meeting will be Saturday, October 22nd at the Colonial Motel, with a new name of Econo-Lodge. Proposed rules changes will be discussed and th_e officers for 1989 will be elected. Sunday will be race day with a SO mile feature event. As of August 21 the GORRA points battle in two of three classes is very close. Sammy Her-rell leads Class 1-2-1600 by four points over Dennis Aiken, who is 16 points ahead of Bobby Bram-blett. Keith Williams has a two point lead over Mike Isola in Challenger Class. Grant Dale leads Class 10 by a big margin, 104 points to Lindy Herrell's 68.
