Next month's Dusty Times will have full coverage of the event, but here's a brieflist of the winners. The overall victory went to Robert Whitted and Carl Haynes in their Class 10 car, who drove the 240 miles in a time of 4:00:23. Other winners were: Class 112-1600, Doug Cowell and Randy Anderson; Class 1 ( unlimited open), Greg Sanden and Larry McCallum in their Baja Bug; Class 100, Jeff and Wayne Schwaia in a two-seater; Class 9, Jack Hettinger and Steve Reynolds in a Funco; Class 8, Perry McNeil in his Ford; Class 5-1600, John Holmes and Ramsey El Wardani; and Class 7,Jim and Jon Hurley in a Ranger. THE HDRA PAHRUMP STATION 500 took place a week later, in the blistering Nevada desert, and the overall win went to Rob Gordon in his Ford pickup. Class winners were: Class 1, Bill Church (solo); Class 2, Danny Lerner and Ron Brandt; Class 1/2-1600, Tom and Bob DeNault; Class 3114, Dave Ashley; Class 4, Jack Johnson; Class 5, Marty Hart and Mike Hallett; Class 5-1600, Darryl, Wayne and Alan Cook; Class 6, Steve Russell and Neville Sharp; Class 7, Roger Mears; Class 7S, Rob MacCachren; Class 7 4X4, Jerry McDonald; Class 8, Rob Gordon (first overall); Class 9, Norm Lester and Dave Ramocinski; Class 10, Bill Poe and Fred Ronn; Class 11, Saul Zambrano and Jeff Strait; Class Mini Mag, Rudy and Charlie Townsley. For a full report, see next month's Dusty Times. THEW ALKER EV ANS DODGE/JEEP/GOODYEAR TEAM will be trekking northward to Crandon, Wisconsin for the Labor Day weekend Brush Run. This event, always a big hit with mid-western racers, has had a hard time attracting Californians because the SCORE Riverside bash has always been too close in timing. This year, with no Riverside, and no Phoenix either, there's time to go see what all the shouting's been_ about. Walker will be driving his Class 8 Dodge and his short course Comanche, and Steve McEachem will be there with the other Class 8 Dodge. It's a full team effort, and Rob MacCachren will drive his short course Comanche, as well as his Class 7S desert Jeep. And Brian Stewart will fill in for Evan Evans in the Class 6 Cherokee. mE MICKEY THOMPSON ENTERTAINMENT GROUP anounces that its Off-Road Championship Gran Prix Awards Banquet will be held Saturday night, December 9, at the elegant Bonaventure Hotel in downtown Los Angeles. Ticket order forms will be available starting in September, at the Denver Mile High Stadium event, but it's also possible to make early reservations by contacting MTEG headquarters at (714) 938-4100, P.O. Box 25168, Anaheim, CA 92825. Tickets are $40. each, and the dress code for the banquet will be "coat and tie required". SCORE INTERNATIONAL reports that they're already taking entries for their popular Baja 1000 Endurance Safari. This event, for non-professional off-road adventurers, runs concurrently with the Baja 1000, and will begin at the start line right after the professional race starts, and then will follow the same course, ending in San Ignacio, about 600 miles down into Baja. While not a speed event, the Safari is a real test of a driver's proficiency on the difficult roads and trails of Baja, and penalty points are given for arriving too early or too late at each checkpoint. Only those who have not driven as a driver-of-record in a SCORE or HDRA event are eligible to enter. And entrants are invited to motor on down the highway, after their finish in San Ignacio, to join in the festivities in La Paz. ON A SAD NOTE: Mike and Gayle Schwellinger, still grieving over the loss of their friend and race partner, Les Erickson, who died during the Parker 400, were hit by tragedy again, when their daughter, Pamela, died in July. Pamela was just 22 years old, and her family would like her racing friends to know that she had become addicted to cocaine, and that she died from an overdose. As Gayle explained it, "She came from a good home, a family which was a family.", and she was a beautiful, well-liked girl, with many interests and friends. She loved off-road-racing, and traded weekends at work to be able to attend with her family. And still, even with so much going for her, she was somehow attracted to the drug, and it took her life. The Schwellingers are hopeful that by making Pam's friends in the off-road racing circles aware of their tragedy, they may prevent a similar tragedy in someone else's life. ANOTHER LOSS: ·Ten year veteran off-road racer, Roy Taylor, died on June 22, victim of a malignant brain tumor. He was 53 years old. Roy, who most often raced in Class 5-1600, was a member of the Chapala Dusters, and attended most races, either supporting other racers in the pits, or racing himself. He began his racing career with his nephew, Steve Taylor, as his co-driver, but since 1982 had teamed with his son, Mike. Among their racing memories are a second place in the first Frontier 500, a first at the Fireworks 250, a firstattheGreatMojave, a fourth in the Mint, a third in the San Felipe 250, and a third in the Baja 1000. And in 1988 Roy and Mike finished second in Class 5-1600 points in the HDRA/ SCORE Desert Series. Roy is survived by his wife Sandi, his daughter Renee Jones, and his sons, Russell and Mike. Our condolences to his family and friends .. and another eight ounces 15 to 30 minutes before. The experts say that while you're exercising you should drink three to seven ounces every 10 to 20 minutes. Put a big water container in your car, and have bottles at every pit, in other words. After exercising, you're supposed to drink enough to replace the fluid you've sweated off-at the rate of one pint for each pound lost, and eat normally. One more important thing to remember is that no matter how good it tastes when you're thirsty, beer is not a good way to get the fluid you need after prolonged exercise. In fact, alcohol is a diuretic, so that rather than replentishing the water you've lost in perspiration, beer can promote dehydration. Some people say that beer gives them carbohydrates and potas-sium, but the time for those nutrients is before the workout, (or race), not after it. And anyway, beer isn't a very good source, with only 13 grams of carbs and 89 milligrams of potas-sium in 12 ounces. A 12 ounce glass of orange juice would provide 39 grams of carbs, and 89 mgs of potassium. And, if potas-sium is your big worry, eat a banana. Dusty Times

When we folded Class 14, for unlimited 4-wheel-drive vehicles, into Class 3 to allow for "grandfathering" the trucks already built, the intent was that these dinosaurs would be allowed to race out their days in the same configurations they ~ad been originally built to run. If we hadn't made a place for Class 14 vehicles this season, they would have been rendered obsolete, and the owners would have lost their investments in them. We didn't think that was fair, and of course the Class 14 owners agreed. In fact, nobody really disagreed, although not everyone in Class 3 was overjoyed to welcome these one--off hybrids into an almost pure stock class. Clearly, it was never intended that Class 14 vehicles be allowed to develop new capabilities, to get faster as the season progresses and to widen the gap between Class 3 and Class 14 4x4s, only to run out their remaining races under the rules. Just as clearly, that's not what has been happening. There have been several complaints within the combined class that this or that competitor has been "moving things around" to improve his vehicle. The technical committee wasn't set up to inspect each vehicle closely for changes in suspension type and wheelbase, for instance. Even the competitors themselves aren't sure who is doing what to his vehicle in this class, because no records have been kept. Well, the holiday is over. Beginning with the HDRA Nevada 500 we'll be looking at the "as is" reference to trucks in this category as it is listed on page 52 of the rule book more closely. That's a pretty open rule as it is written, but from now on the intent of the rule will be enforced.

Should they be restricted or allowed to be more open? So far we have heard nothing from the competitors, and if we don't hear anything we will be forced to make our own decision on shock towers for the 1991 -92 rule book. Also needed is input from Class 7 competitors on the issues of requiring windshields or not and use of dry sump lubrication systems as optional.We've heard quite a bit from the manu-facturers so far but nothing from the competitors themselves. Work on the 1991-92 rule book is proceeding in Classes 4, 5, 5-1600, 9, 10 and 11 with no complaints or problems brought up by the competitors. Classes 1 and 2 are scheduled to have a class representative meeting as this is written, and it may be held before you read this. Time is running out for consideration of racer comments on changes needed in the rule book for the 1991 and 1992 seasons. We are going to need all the rest of the input by mid-August at the latest, or your views cannot be effectively considered as we start drafting the new rule book. So if you have anything to contribute, now is the time to do it. You may recall that we argued in favor of pre-runners being set up safety-wise as if they were race vehicles to help prevent tragedies like that one that befell Steve Centurioni in Nevada last April. We have had a lot of positive response on this position in the weeks that have followed. Even as recently as the HDRA Firecracker 250 competitors have come to me and expressed their approval of the idea. Nobody has brought his pre-runner in for a checkup on safety devices, but if anyone did, we wouldn't be opposed to doing such in-spections. Dusty Times

HDRA'S 18TH ANNUAL FIREWORKS 150 Bob Richey Takes Overall in Close Battle By Judy Smith Photos: T rackside Photo Enterprises -Taking second in Class 2 and third overall was the quick Porsche/Raceco of Steve Sourapas and Matt McBride. varied from historical precedent, in that the race started in the morning rather than at four o'clock in the afternoon. But, unlike last year's when the temperature soared into the 100s, this year a friendly breeze kept temperatures down to a tolerable level somewhere in the nineties. Friday's day long contingency parade had benefitted from the breeze also, much to the delight of continge·ncy donors who sat on the pavement of the Barstow Community College parking lot. the parking lot behind the Community College and traveling in a counter-clockwise direction for a distance of about 60 miles. The northernmost point was at the college, and at its most southerly the trail swung below Stoddard Mountain, then looped back northward, crossing Stod-dard Wells Road, and heading up into Stoddard Valley. It doubled back upon itself, to Boot Hill, and then headed north again, past the Slash X Ranch, up the wash, and through the hills and back to the college. All classes except Class 11 were to complete four laps, and the time limit was 11 hours. Class 11 was to do three laps in that time ixriod. After racing for the lead all day Jong, Bob Richey drove his Class 2 Porsche powered Raceco to first in class and the overall victory. This event was the first HbRA race under the leadership of new president, Danny Cau, who took over the helm just weeks before race day. Cau, who's been the race operations director for HORA for some time, purchased the corporation on June 14, from Tom Spiel and Edna Lott, widow of the organization's founder, Walt Lott. He was thrust headlong into the complexities of corporate leadership with the Fireworks, where he and his slightly reorganized HORA team debuted their new colors on official shirts of blue, white and fluorescent pink. The officials were always easy to spot. The drivers' meeting was held at 6:30 a.m. in the parking lot, and the start was at 7 a.m. Surprised spectators and pit crews, who'd dressed for Barstow in July, stood-around shivering and watching their goosebumps multiply, as a cold breeze came in from somewhere, delighting the racers. It didn't get really warm until about nine o'clock. The 255 starting dri._:ers staged themselves, and got their vehicles to the green flag with litcle fuss. The fifth event of the season, the HORA Fireworks 250, at Barstow, was won by Bob Richey in his six cylinder Porsche powered two seater, after an all day battle that went right down to the wire. Although Richey was the first contestant to cross the finish line, he had to wait a suspenseful eight minutes to learn whether Robby Gordon, in the Ford pickup, was going to nudge him from the overall position. When Gordon Llid arrive, the times were so close that it needed the official computations ofHDRA's scoring team to determine that Richey had prevailed, by a slim 59 seconds. This year's race, like last year's, The course for this year's race was mostly old stuff, starting in Cars wen: off the line one every 15 seconds, with Class 2 in front, as has beetl routine this year.

But, since Eric Arras had the point position in his new Raceco, it wasn't a big surprise when he came around, still the first car on the road, and leading the whole thing, with the fast lap of the day, at 1:13:52.5. Running second b~ind him was Richey in his Porsche powered Raceco, only two and a half minutes back, and looking very smooth. Brian Collins, in a Porsche Chenowth, was third, also close, and Mark Hamilton, in a Porsche Raceco, ran fourth. Tom Koch, who's switched from Class 1 to Class 2, so he wouldn't have to start so far back, ran fifth in his Porsche Raceco, only three minutes and 24 seconds behind Arras. Collins moved into the lead on the second lap, with a minute and a half on Hamilton who was now second. Koch had moved up to third, Richey was fourth six seconds behind him, and Arras, who'd finished the lap in the lead, had lost enough time with his ~ .

Frank Vessels and Jon Nelson burned the desert course with the second fastest lap of the race, but a few laps later they cooled to finish second in class. Rob Myerly soloed his Bunderson up front until the motor mounts broke on the last lap; he got a quick fix and finished a very close second. Dusty Times driver's change, which happened before he got to the start/ finish checkpoint, to drop to fifth place, three minutes and six seconds behind Collins up front. So it was still a very tight race. told what they saw. It boiled down to a problem with inter-preting the way the flag man waved the flag, a common problem in the heat of a race, and ·the upshot ofthe affair was that no penalty was assessed, although Richey was to receive a letter of reprimand. That meant that his victories stood, and he was finally able to relax and celebrate. Positions changed hands again on the third lap, and now Hamilton took over the lead, and he had the overall lead also, but Richey was only 33 seconds in back of him. Koch was still third, and all three of these drivers were going to do all four laps. In fourth place now was a fresh driver -Matt McBride, who'd just taken over for Steve Sourapas, and was only 22 seconds behind Koch, but had flattened a front tire on a rock. And following close behind .-him was Mike Lund, with navigator Buzz Combe on board, in a non-Porsche Chenowth that . hadn't had power steering since the first lap. At the end of his third · lap, Richey had been given a black flag, and a little red card. He asked the flag man what that meant, but trying to communicate through the pumper helmet was a lost ' cause, and he didn't understand what the flag man told him, except that he obviously wanted him to go on. So on he went, but found it hard to concentrate on his ' driving, because he kept wonder-ing what the black flag had indicated. His pumper helmet gave up on that lap, but that was the only problem he had, and as Hamilton, who'd been racing close with Richey all day, lost his rear suspension, Richey took over the lead for good, and came to the finish line first.

McMil-1 in pulled n t~ ~ of the race immediately, .r TRl•MIL BOBCAT · CHROME Richey found out that the black flag and little red card meant that a ' report had been made about him by some course official, which , necessitated his attendance at the Competition Review Board at 8 p.m. Until then he would not know what his official finish was. But unofficially, he'd won both the overall and Class 2. McBride, who hit the same rock again and had another front flat, brought the Sourapas car in second, and Lund, whose pit hadn't been able to repair the steering, was third. Hamilton was fourth, losing only 14 minutes with his suspension woes, and Arras, and co-driver Frank Snook, who'd had several flat tires, finished fifth. They were all still within 15 minutes of one another - any one of them could have done it. DUAL CAN BOBTAIL FOR BAJA BUGS The complaint against Richey was that he had run through a checkpoint.

Herbst's luck didn't hold out, and he felt his motor going away, and with it his win, on the last lap. Church, whose car had been endoed in practice just two weeks before the race, and had had to be rebuilt, had no further troubles, and took the win, which bumped him into the lead in class points. A disappointed Troy, who'd also lost the overall win at his last race ( the Baja 500) because of a last lap incident, fin ished second, a minute and one second behind him. Brown and Hibbard were third, and no other Class 1 cars made four laps. The Class 8 trucks were next off the line, and Frank Vessels put together an awe inspiring lap of 1:14:56.6, the second fastest lap of the race to take the lead. He had that Chevy around the track in a time that was only a minute and four seconds slower than Arras's time, and he ran without dust! Robby Gordon ran second in his Ford, only a minute and a half later. Robin Tulleners was third in his Ford, followed by John Gable, in still another Ford, who'd already had a flat. Walker Evans was fifth in his Dodge. Dave Shoppe, Steve McEachern, and Dave W esthem had all lost a half hour or more with various problems. the trucks. Gordon had a big lead at the end of the third lap, and he had the overall lead as well, but what should have been a quick stop in his pit turned into a disaster when the truck wouldn't start. It took his crew seven or eight minutes to locate the /roblem, a faulty switch, an the overall lead melted away. Vessels was now seven minutes back in second place, and Evans held on to third. But Gable had come up to fourth again, and Tulleners, after losing 40 minutes or so on lap two, was fifth. Gordon tried hard to regain his overall lead, but couldn't quite do it, though he thrilled the spectators around the course in the attempt. He was especially fun to watch at the very beginning of pit row, where the cars came up a little rise out of a downhill wash, onto the ridge behind the church. Some of the buggies flew beautifully there, and darned if Gordon didn't make that truck fly every bit as gracefully as the buggies. It landed quietly, didn't rebound, and never looked out of control, as opposed to many others, buggies and trucks. The fans had their cameras snapping like mad every time he went by. He got the win, his second thi~ year, and that moves him up to third in the Class 8 points. Vessels finished second, 12 minutes later, followed by Evans, Gable, and Tulleners. The Class 10 cars went next, and while they lost a full third of the 27 car entry on the first lap, twelve of them did manage to get to the finish line this time. Rob Myerly had his long~legged Bunderson in the lead on the first lap, with Mark Barnes second, 34 seconds behind him in a Raceco. Craig Dillon ran third in his ORC, another six seconds back, and Greg Aronson was fourth in a Toyota powered Raceco, less than a minute behind him. In fifth it was Gary and Dick W eyhrich, in a Raceco. Myerly held onto his lead, but he lost his motor mounts, and had to make a long pit stop at the end of the lap, to have the crew strap it together. Barnes and Dillon followed along second and third, and Aronson was still fourth, and they were all still very close. Now Mike Williams, after losing about 10 minutes on the first lap, moved his MECO into fifth place, about 10 minutes back. Barnes took over the lead on the third lap, as Myerly's pit time On the second lap Gordon, who later said he'd pre~run nine times, and that it helped in the dust because he knew where he was, took over the lead, with nine and a half minutes on Vessels, who was starting to have flat tires. Evans had moved up to third, 13 minutes behind him, and Larry, Jr., and Chris Minor were fourth in their GMC, 25 minutes later. Gable, who hit a rock and lost a driveline and had to limp in for help, was down to fifth, close behind them. The extra roughness of the course was taking its toll, and the race was nowhere near as Carefully pacing themselves in the third spot for most of the race, paid off with close as is_ generally expected of a solid second place finish for Mel Vaughan and Dan Reynolds.

Then it was Curt and Lou Farrar, in an ORE, having a very good day, and, on their tail, Tim and Tom Bums in a Raceco. It was all still very close, and any one of them could jump to the front if the leaders had a problem. The Smiths had taken a big gamble. They decided they needed to lighten their car a bit, so they left out all their tools and didn't carry a spare tire. That was chancy on this rocky course, but so far, things were working out. After the driver change they continued to lead, and now they had over three minutes on the second place DeNaults, who'd had to correct their jetting, which had been "too fat" for the first two laps. J.D. Ward and Gary Johnson now moved up to third place in their Brut, the Farrars ran fourth, and Jim Sumners and Rob Tolleson were fifth in their Mirage. Tom Malloy and Andy Anderson, who'd lost their third gear, were sixth in a Raceco. lt was still a very close race, and a simple thing like a flat was enough to lose a car about five positions. The series points leaders to this race, Scott and Bill Reams, were having nothing but trouble, including flats and hitting something so hard they bent their rear suspension so a full size tire wouldn't fit, and they couldn't quite get up into the front runners at Barstow. The Smith's luck held, they had no trouble at all and no flats, and with a really quick last lap, got their win. The DeNaults, who also had a good day, were second, followed in by the Farrars, who said that their day had been "perfect, fantastic!". The Bums team finished fourth, and in fifth it was Malloy and Anderson, doing a remarkable job with no third gear for a couple oflaps. The DeNault's second place put them into the lead for season points, edging Reams by just one point. In Class 7 Manny Esquerra had the first lap lead in his Ford, two minutes and 40 seconds up on second place Larry Ragland, in his Chevy. Ragland, whose new Class 2 Chevy isn't finished yet, had opted to run with the old truck again, but in Class 7 where it was originally intended to run, rather than in Class 2. As Ragland put it, the old truck is "a little out~ classed in the buggies."

Esquerra had a time consuming problem on the second lap, and Ragland moved to the lead, with Wayne Lee and Marc Cartwright, in a Chevrolet also, taking over second place. Mears had some kind of rear end problem that cost him about two hours, and he was a distant third. Esquerra was fourth_, andjones, as a bent beam battered one of his coil-over shocks into ruination, tried repairs that didn't work, and then was out. On the third lap Ragland lost a rear axle housing, and needed an hour for repairs. Lee and Cartwright moved to the lead, Ragland was second, Mears was third, and Esquerra was fourth. Once fixed, Ragland was quick, and he took over the lead again, as Lee and Cartwright had ignition troubles. And it was Chevy one and two, as Ragland took the win, with Lee and Cartwright second, just four minutes later. Mears and Esquerra were third and fourth, and no one else finished. Esquerra maintains his lead in class points, and Mears is a close second.

And in fourth it was David Simon, in a Ford Ranger, who thought something was wrong with the steering of his truck. He was only four minutes behind Swift. Simon may not have liked his steering, but that didn't stop him from ticking off the fast lap for the class on lap two, at 1 :27:08.0, and taking over the lead. Swift fell to second, a minute back, and John Deetz, Balch's co-driver, was third. Ramsay and Lesle, who'd lost about eight minutes were fourth now. Simon put his brother, Paul, in for the final laps, and had his pit crew change to a different tire during the driver change, hoping to improve the steering. Paul said it steered just fine. And he held the lead, and now had a decisive 16 minutes on Balch, who was back in his truck and had broken a rear axle. Darren York and Steve Schlachter had moved up to third in their Ranger, and Bud Sebelius and Mark Johnson ran fourth in a Jeep Comanche. Simon relaxed a bit on the last lap, ran trouble free, and brought the truck home first. Balch, who had now broken a rear spring, finished second about a half hour later, and both of them were ahead of the w;nning Class 7 truck. In fact, Sebelius and Johnson, in third, had a quicker time than the winning Class 7 also. The Simons had had a pretty good sized hold on season points going into the race, and their win gives them a nice cushion, with John Swift in second place.

Keeping their Class 9 Sandhawk in the tight lead pack all race long to finish in fourth, just one minute down, was Mike Currier and Joel Stankavich. Don Adams and Larry Olsen placed their Jeep CJ in second place and remained there all the way to the finish. MacCachren bounced back into the lead at the end of the third lap, and Robinson was second again, as Lesle and Mann moved into third. Fourth palce was in the hands of Douglas, and Low was fifth, obviously having problems, with two longish laps. MacCachren's fuel pumps fell off, and he used duct tape to hold them in place, but he had to stop over and over to re-do the tape. Eventually he ran out of tape, and had to procure a new supply, all of which took quite a bit of time. Robinson, in the meantime, having nothing more troubling than one flat and an unfastened hood, sailed on by and to the finish line to get the win. MacCachren was second, about 23 minutes later. Low, with things going well on the last lap, zipped up to third place, while Douglas finished fourth. Fifth went to Chuck Johnson and Johnny Johnson, in Chuck's Ranger, who'd lost time on the first and third laps with a broken spring. MacCachren retains his points lead. The 5~1600 cars were next off the line, and their leader was Darren Hardesty at the end of the first lap, with a minute and 48 seconds on Cameron Steele in second. Five seconds later came the Cook brothers, Darryl, Alan and Wayne, in third, and then Larry Rosevear ran fourth, two and a half minutes later. Rosevear had rolled his car, and the passenger side was badly damaged, with the door and rear quarter panel virtually demolished, so that they'd had to use bungee cords to hold the door closed. Vince Alcouloumre and Jeff Rogers were fifth, 45 seconds behind him. The Cooks moved their car up into the lead on the second lap, as Hardesty had a flat and ended up second, a little over two minutes down. Alcouloumre and Rogers were third now, while David Purcell took a lap in Rosevear's crumpled car, and held on to fourth place. Rich Fersch and Darryl Gibson ran fifth. On the third lap, as the Cooks continued to lead, Kreston Pons took over for Hardesty, and he had a flat, but held on to second place, only about five minutes behind the Cooks. · Fersch and Gibson had moved into third place, and Rosevear, who had got back in, was still fourth. His car, seen from the driver's side, looked completely undamaged, so he was a sort of off road Jekyll and Hyde, depending on which side of him you saw. ])arrel Smith and Ron Kelly, who had lost their race motor on Friday in practice, were now running fifth, finding their pre-run motor not quite up Dusty Times to race speeds. The Cooks, who were both driving and riding, had a flat on the last lap, and put their spare front tire on the rear.

r;.-was the Cooks, having finally managed to build up a two minute edge. Fersch and Gibson were third, about six minutes after Hardesty and Pons, and Rosevear and Purcell brought their wounded car in fourth. Fifth place went to Smith and Kelly, a long way back. The Cooks, with their second win this year, now have a firm hold on the season points, with Cameron Steele in second place. In the new Mini-Mag class, which was next to start, there were only four entries. This class is similar in concept to the IROC cars, in that all the vehicles are supposed to be virtually identical, and modifications to suspension and engine are not allowed. Unfortunately, it's been slow work getting the class going, because, although the racers have been willing and ready, the cars haven't been completed as quickly as had been hoped. This class has one very big attraction; a quaranteed purse of $5000., which is paid to first place at each event. So, though there may not be many of them yet, they are fiercely competitive, and hard at it out on the course. Charles Townsley and Brian Stewart teamed to take the lead on lap one, with the fast lap for the class of 1:36:55.5. They had 11 minutes on Randy Pettit, who ran second. Dick MacDonald and Larry Hamanny were third about 15 minutes later. Townsley and Stewart contin-ued to lead, although they lost a full hour on the second lap, and their lead was squeezed to a narrow 21 seco_nds, with Mac-Don a ld and Hamanny now second, as Pettit dropped to third, also losing about an hour with some _kind of problem. Mean-while, Lonnie and Lou Peralta, with jetting difficulties, used up over five hours on their first lap alone. Townsley and Stewart widened the gap on the third lap, as both the other cars had more down time. Then, while they were supposed to run for four laps, the officials became confused, and flagged them in at the end of their third. There was a lot of discussion, and some thought was given to Townsley and Stewart going out for their fourth lap, but it was ultimately decided to call it complete at the end of three. So they got their win, the second for the car, followed by MacDonald and Hamanny, almost two hours later, in second. The Challengers, or as they're now called, Class 9, came next, and Rich Richardson, who was leading the season points race overall up to this race, took the first lap lead, in his Jimco, with less than a minute on Jim Clements and Michael Brown, in a Brut. Nick Gross and Joe Valentine, in a La Plant, were third, 20 seconds later, followed by William and Ron Brady, in a Chenowth. In fifth it was Mike Currier and Joel Stankavich, in a Sandhawk, only two minutes and 18 seconds behind the lead car. It's interesting to note that both the second and fifth place cars were Barstow based teams. On the second lap, as Richard-son and his co-driver, Kevin Perrault, lost their second gear, the lead went to Gross and Valentine. Now David Girdner and Lee Perfect, another Barstow team, ina Hi Jumper, were second and Currier and Stankavich were third, about three minutes later. Fourth was still in the hands of the Bradys, and now Billy Kem and Pat Smith ran fifth. As the lead stretched out even more on the third lap, Gross and Valentine stayed in front, having changed a flat that happened just as they pitted for the driver's change. They now had 10 minutes on Girdner and Perfect, whose ignition was cutting out, and who'd also been lost twice. The Bradys had climbed ~p to third, Currier and Stankavich, who'd had one flat, were now fourth, and Kem and Smith ran fifth. They all held their positions to the finish line, with Gross and Valentine, their rear shocks worn out, picking up their second win for the year. Then it was Girdner and Perfect, the Bradys, Currier and Stankavich and in fifth, Kem and Smith. Two of the Barstow teams managed to finish in the top five. The disappointed Richardson and Perrault, who lost third gear in addition to second, also broke a spindle and ran out of gas, and then ran out of time to finish. They had enough points so they still hold the Class 9 points lead, but have lost their grip in the overall points, which is now a tie between Ed Herbst in Class 2 and Hartmut Klawitter in Class 5. Class 3114 was pretty much a rout, with Dave Ashley, in his Bronco, taking the early lead and staying in front all day. He had 16 minutes on Jerry Daugherty in his Blazer at the end of the first lap. Carl Cook ran third in his '72 Jeep CJ, but then never finished another lap, and Mike Horner and Tony Kuljis, in a GMC S-15, ran fourth. At the end of the second lap Ashley had 34 minutes on Don Adams and Larry Olsen in their Jeep CJ, who were now second, as Rick Sieman, in a Bronco, moved to third, followed by Daugherty, who's dropped to fourth. On lap three when Ashley discovered a pinhole in his radiator, and had to make a couple of stops for water and Stop-Leak, his lead had grown to 38 minutes on Adams and Olsen. Now Mike Schwellinger and Steve Kramer, who'd had flats every lap, ran third in their '76 Jeep, followed by Les Barnett and Henry Palomino, in a Jeep Scrambler, in fourth. Ashley went on to win easily, 56 minutes in front of Adams and Olsen. Schwellinger and Kramer were third, followed in by Barnett and Palomino. Ashley continues to lead the series points for the class. Class 6 was another rout, with Evan Evans, in his Jeep Cherokee, starting the day in front, and just staying there. Steve Russell and Neville Sharpe, in a '68 Chevy Camara, ran second all day, having trouble missing the rocks, which flattened some tires. Dale and Randy Jordan were third all day in their Chevy El Camino, fairly close behind Russell and Sharpe until the last lap, when they lost an hour. Larry Schwa-cofer and Erich W utzler, in the '57 Chevy, and wishing the new car would soon be finished, were fourth. Evans is, of course, the class series points leader. Class 11 was required to run only three laps in the 11 hour time limit, but the two finishers could have made four from the look of their finish times. Andy Diaz and Scott Wagstaff put their beautiful red VW in the lead on the first lap, even though they lost their windshield and had a couple of flats. Ramon Castro and Jorge Sanchez, who ran second, were having carburetor and distributor troubles, but no flats, and were only six minutes behind at the end of lap one. -At the end of lap two, Diaz and Wagstaff still held the lead, though they were having some electrical problems, similar to what plagued them in Baja. Castro had crept up to within 33 seconds of them, in second place. But, on the last lap, as Diaz and Wagstaff continued to have electrical problems, Castro and Snachez charged past, and took the win, just 50 seconds in front of them. None of the others completed three laps. Castro, who's been the Class 11 Taking first plac~ in Class 11 after having engine problems was the VW Bug of Ramon Castro and Jorge Sanchez.

Jlicle Fliolll "'-011 ..... "..-,.r-TT~ 10th Anniversary at the L.A. Coliseum By Homer Eubanks Photos: T rackside Photo Enterprises It was Robby Gordon's night in his Grand National Toyota truck as he won his heat race and main event without any major challenges. Round seven of the Mickey Thompson Off Road Champion-ship Gran Prix came home to the LA Coliseum on July 22. The Coliseum gave birth to stadium racing back in 1979 and 45,156 came to see how the sport had developed over the years. The fans were treated with a new track designwhich consisted of two separate options of going through the famed LA Coliseum peristyle. As the racers were flagged off, turn one actually had two separate gates in which to enter the climb up to the peristyle. At the top a kicker jump was added to ensure that all the contestants flew into the peristyle. They had two options of going through the peristyle, but they had better be lined up before the jump. Previous years had resulted in many traffic jams in the peristyle so the MTEG group came up with the new design. Once under the peristyle two left hand turns brought the racers back to the stadium floor. As the two separate courses came back down, a sharp right hand turn greeted the inside option and a dog leg right hand was added for the l_onger outside option. The two options intersected going into the back straight section. This section was filled with a generous amount of whoops, the kind of whoops that taught the drivers what a grain of salt felt like in a salt shaker. After exiting the rough section a left hand sweeper was interrupted with a jump on its inside line and then two jumps were added in the front straight before beginning a new lap. The new track design kept the action going and provided a good place for passing. Often the obvious leader coming out of the peristyle found that neck to neck Brad Castle had his Super 1600 dialed in to take second in his first heat and come from the back of the pack to win the 1600 main event. Y'"-~ ' 1 , , Driving an UltraStock racer for the first time was Larry Noel who finished third in his heat and had a fine battle for the main event victory. Page 24 September 1989 competition was waiting for him at the intersection. Racing began with the six fastest Super 1600 qualifiers competing in a Trophy dash. Frank Arciero Jr. sat outside on the front row, so he opted for the. outside line through the peristyle. Mitch Mustard used his pole position to take the inside option and once they exited the peristyle found the inside line to be quickest. Once in the lead Mustard took off for the win. Arciero fell into third place behind Roger Mears Jr. Marty Coyne finished in fourth place · and Scott Galloway came across in front of Tommy Croft. Previous years have resulted in a Mazda-Toyota show down in Grand National Sport Truck racing; however this year Mazda pulled out of the series leaving Toyota in a dominant position with Team Jeep their closest rival. Walker Evans (Jeep manager) has used the past years to develop a suitable contender but seems to have his hands full with Run Away Rob Gordon. In the first Sport Truck heat race David Ashley, Ford, shared the front row with the Chevrolet o f Danny Thompson . Team Toyota made up the second row with second fastest qualifier, Roger Mears, and Rob MacCach-ren making up the third row. On the start Ashley was outpowered by Thompson. Walker Evans came up to challenge and took the outside line through the peristyle. As the pack exited Thompson and Evans were neck and neck going into the back rough section. Thompson managed to grit his teeth harder and pulled out front. Robby Gordon also endured the rough section to settle into third. Walker Evans was able to dose in on Thompson going into the third lap but had Rob Gordon knocking on his back door. Thompson again took the inside line but when they came into the rough again there was Robby Gordon. By the time the studder bumps ended it was Gordon crossing ahead of Thompson. On the following lap they met again at the intersection but nothing came of it as Gordon was hooked up and headed for a victory. Second place Thompson had some breathing room between himself and Evans but Ivan Stewart and MacCachren were in a fight for third. By the fifth lap Thompson had changed his strategy and began taking the outside line through the peristyle. When the white flag came out Gordon was way out front - all alone. Thompson still had a swarm of bees on his tail but held onto second. Evans managed to take third and I van Stewart crossed over ahead of Rob MacCachren . The top five consisted of T earn Toyota, T earn Jeep and the lone Chevrolet of Thompson. A total of 20 4-Wheel ATVs took t h e field in the first qualifying heat. On the start Todd David took the lead and held that position until the third lap when Kenneth Delk took over. Delk went on to ·take the win with second place being earned by Donny Banks. Charles Shepherd made it three in a row for Honda with the next two finishers riding Swukis. Early leader Todd David finished fourth ahead of Derek Hamilton. The second 4-Wheel A TV heat consisted of 19 riders. Marty Hart, current points leader, showed everyone the fast way around the track. Hart had to contend with Gary Denton most of the race but had put some distance between the two at the end. Third place went to Don T uric and Mark Ehrhardt won fourth with Sean Stubbs fifth. Super Lite action brought out 11 cars. Joe Pierce sat on the pole with Rory Holladay alongside. The second row had John Gersjes and John Hasshaw. When the flagman said "go racing" Holladay ran off and hid from the pack. He was not challenged throughout the event. Second place was fought for and won by John Gersjes. Gersjes battled with Joe Pierce until Pierce dropped out on lap three. Third went to Don Archibald and John Hasshaw. follcwed. Edward Moore took fifth. In the second Super Lite heat it was a battle of attrition. Ten cars started out but only six remained rollin.g at the end. Rennie Awana , kept his Briggsbuilt together and took home the win. Second place went to Frank Chavez and Terry Peterson came across third ahead of Jim Cook. Chuck Parker was fifth The first U lt raS tock heat brought out a newcomer, with Larry Noel adding a VW to the line up. Vincent Tjelmeland and Jeff Elrod were pitted against one another on the front row. At the start Castle appeared to have the lead coming off the peristyle however at the back intersection Elrod managed to charge. Castle settled into second with teammate Vince Tjelmeland pushing him in third. The front three met at the intersection again on the follow-ing lap and again Elrod held onto the lead. Castle made his attempt on the third lap at the end of the rough section but he and Elrod bounced into one another causing Castle to lose momentum. Castle quickly had to fend off Tjelmeland. On the fifth lap Castle took over the lead as he and Elrod entered the· back stretch. Castle held on for the win with early leader Jeff Elrod having to settle for second. Tjelmeland saw Larry Noel get by for third and fifth went to Tim Lewis. Super 1600 action began with 16 Gladiators taking the arena. Brad Castle shared the front row with Scott Galloway while row two consisted of Tommy Croft and Mitch Mustard. Once racing, Brad Castle took the inside option to turn one and by the intersection it was apparent his decision had paid off. Mitch Mustard settled into second ahead of Galloway. The front three positions didn't change until the fourth lap when Mustard came off the peristyle first and managed to take the lead. On the following lap Castle challenged in the rough section and the two tangled which left Castle momentarily cross-ways on the track. This allowed Mustard to gain some breathing room which gave him a comfort-able win. Brad Castle held onto second and third went to Danny Rice after Scott Galloway lost a rear tire and Albert Arciero dropped out at the white flag. Dusty Times

With everyone busy battling for second Walker Evans cruised to victory. Danny Thompson held off Robby Gordon and Ivan Stewart finished ahead of Dave Ashley. The Super 1600 semi main brought out 13 cars to vie for the transfer spots. Right from the start Kent Castle dominated with Albert Arciero running in second.

Iii+ L\ UltraStock hot shot Vince Tjelmeland took fourth spot in the heat and after some fender to fender duels for the lead in the main, a front wheel came off and left him in the dust. Flying Al Arciero put his Chenowth into a solid second in the Super 1600 semi main and transfered to the main with high hopes, but from then on things turned sour. Art Gersies ran his Super 1600 Chenowth hard all night to have troubled heats and just miss the transfer into the main by placing third in the semi main. -~ Looking a little off line here, Paul Nissley and John Sprague put in a good night with a third place in their second heat and a fifth spot finish in the Super 1600 main. Dave Ingles didn't have much fun in his Super 1600 Funco due to various problems and only a fifth place finish in his first heat.

Yep, Run Away Rob took outside option of turn one and it off and never looked back. He paid off. Gordon was right on quickly put five car lengths between himself and Evans. Evans didn't have time to worry about Gordon as Gordon's teammate Stewart was busy applying pressure to him. On the fifth lap Evans dropped out after exiting the peristyle. Rob Gordon had the front stretch distance between himself and Stewart. For anyone to see any action they had to look at third place. Rob MacCachren had spun at the start and had to work his way through the field where he was now pressuring Danny Thompson. Thompson misin-terpreted the power generated by the Jeep and got edged out at the checkered flag. Dave Ashley finished fifth.

Class 10 had two scratches leaving Jeff Probst the only running entry. Through the heavy dust Class 1 saw Kevin Probst run away with it again. Art Schmitt, Todd Attig and Lee W uesthoff ran together shock to shock for 19 laps to finish in that order. On points it was Jeff Probst then Tod d W allace in Class 10, and in Class 1 Kevin Probst, Art Schmitt and Lee W uesthoff. Class 14 was a run-a-way for Kenny Kincaid. Jack Flannery ended the day with a broken front end on lap 2. Ray Janusz pulled off during lap 9 blowing smoke. Behind Kincaid it was Jack Heidtman and Mark Seidler at the flag. The day ended as if in a Kansas dust bowl for Class 8, with ten on the line. Jack Flannery did a full 360 on the second tum of the first lap, experiencing mechanical difficulty and he pulled over. Dave Heckers moved from third to first to stay_ there and he w~ September 1989 followed to the finish by Jon Kaempf and Dod Gregoire. The racing day was over, the bands played and people enjoyed the fireworks, and then came the storms. The track was similar to a Georgia red clay field after a five inch gulley washer on Sunday. The harder you floored the pedal the more mud you flung, the harder you stepped on the brake the faster you slid. Class5-1600 slid to the starting positions. Terry Wolfe started out like a bat out of Hades only to get stuck on the mud bank on turn 2 on the third lap. Chuck Johnson tried his power for four laps, hit a hay bale and sunk up to the engine in muddy water. This opened the door for Doug Bils to race three laps to the finish without encountering hay bales or muddy water. Behind Bils came Scott Stelzer and Paul "Froggy" Dallman. On weekend points it was Doug Bils, Terry W olfe and Chuck Johnson. Class 1 lS spun their way to the start. On the first lap six or more buggies tangled and/ or rolled creating not only unsafe track conditions but a red flag halfway through the second lap. Officials restarted nine buggies in their original line up positions, which was interesting! In this race there was a great deal of sportsmanship shown by drivers. One case in point: Glen Mathews helped Dean Race out of the mud hole in turn 2. On the restart Dave W oulf led for four laps only to see Darrin Parsons sneak in and take the che<;:kered flag followed by Curt Gerald, then W oulf. The points went to Curt Gerald, then Darrin Parsons. Class 13 slung mud up to the starting line. At the green flag Sheldon Scray sho t mud in everyone else's face to take a commanding lead and he won the race. DeGreef skated into second with Chris Bauknecht placing third. Tom Jensen cut the second corner too close and was stuck in the mud for several laps. On points for the meet it was Bauknecht, Scray and DeGreef. Class 1-1600 inched up to the line. Kevin Probst and John Greaves tied up badly in turn 1 leaving Greaves with a flat tire. Scott Taylor pulled off with trans troubles. Mike Seefeldt sat in the mud hole at the second turn while Jim Wiggins took the checkered flag, ahead of Kevin Probst and Dave Hameister. Kevin Probst was the points winner followed by Dave Hameister and Scott Taylor. Class 6 snaked up to begin racing. Fay Statezny and Al Fannin repeated Saturday's outstanding performance, this time in the mud and finished one-two folowed by John Znidorka, and they were the same on points. Ed Schultz had trouble controlling his turning without power steering. Class 7S slithered up next with Scott Taylor repeating his winning performance from Saturday. Tom Hackers main-tained a steady second place the entire race, followed home by Brian Farrell. On points it was Taylor, Heckers and Attig. Class 11 came to the line for their second heat race. Many of the drivers had already been out to sling mud in Class 11 S and had a feel for the track, and most drivers came through in good _shape. Dave Woulf went from flag to flag in first position. Mark Steinhardt and Gary Plummer battled seven laps neck to neck for second, then Plummer came to the first turn on the white flag lap and lost a wheel. Curt Gerald slipped into third leaving Plummer in fourth. The points went to Darrin Parsons, then Mark Hameister and Curt Gerald. With the track drying out somewhat Class 2-1600 started. Kevin Probst took the lead and held it all the way. Scott Taylor and John Greaves traded places several times, but Greaves ended up third. Scott Taylor bested Kevin Probst and John Greaves on points. Classes 3 and 4 drove to the line for a staggered s:art. Class 4 left first and Jack Flannery struggled to maintain a lead until lap 10 when he had to i:ull off on turn 3 with mechanical trouble. Greg Gerlach took over first with Ray Januzs in second and Flannery was third. Gerlach won the points in front of Flannery and Janusz. Class 9 came to the line with four entries for their first and only heat. Kevin Probst took the.green flag and the checkered without any challenge. Art Schmitt and Lee Wuesthoff oattled for nine laps for second until Schmitt died on the back straight. This put Todd Attig in third place. Class 14 had only four entries and Ray Januzs had difficulties and could not flag with the rest of the pack. Mark Seidler took the lead with Kenny Kincaid chasing him all the way. Jack Heidtman was third in the race, and ihey finished in this order on points. Class 8 rumbled to the line. Don Gregoire killed his engine at the start line, getting going as_ the others were on lap 2 and drove his way into fourth place. Mike Renkas was in first place after taking the lead on lap 6 from Dave Hockers when he passed a slower · vehicle while under a difficult to see yellow flag final lap. Heckers won the race followed by Steve Zelten and Mike Renkas. Heckers won the points for the meet followed by Gregoire and Jon Kaempf. The ladies races finished the program. In the buggy class Paula Parsons managed to pull a third place finish with only first gear in her Class 11. Chris Gerald took over the lead from Pauline Vogel on the third lap and took the win. In the Heavy Metal ladies race Nancy Van Den Heuvel ran an even race to the checkered flag. Shari Recla and Marilyn Schultz were blood and guts racing until Recla drove into the swamp on lap 4. After assistance from the track patrol, she resumed the race. Marilyn Schultz met the same swamp on lap 5, keeping the engine alive while the race patrol pulled her out. The finishing order was Van Den Heuvel, Recla and Schultz, all driving Class 13 machines.

Was Ecret trying to get himself permanently banished from this island? We off-loaded again, but where was Sundahl? We lost him again! . -.,.;. ~ ~ _, "'-""-'--· -~-._ .. ______ . Piling into vans and trucks and Ecret's Pathfinder off we went to the Pacific Star Hotel. On the way to the hotel Ecret is chatting on his mobile phone to his office, and at the same time giving me a running tour of the island and its demographics, and he has the radio blaring, to his station of course! Midway through a sen-tence he pauses, turns down the radio and puts on these ear/ micro-phones. Now please realize we're still driving in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the way to the hotel. And he begins an entirely new conversation into these ear/ mic-rophones, but there isn't anyone else in the car but me ... as it turns out while we were listening to the radio station the DJ was prompt-ing him for his "On the Go" traffic report on Smokin' Wheels update for the drive time news, and he graciously obliged from his mobile phone. How this man keeps up all week without having a heart attack, I don't know! At a briefing in the "official suite" we met Ecret's beautiful wife, Dina, and all the off-island competitors, who included racers from the U.S., Australia, Saipan and Japan. Everyone mingled by the beer cooler and got to know one another while watching our first of many spectacular sunsets. Ecret's motive was to keep us up till 10:00 p.m., so we would sleep the whole night through and not be jet lagged the next day. We were momentarily interupted by a 5 .3 earhtquake, and up on the 16th floor, we were rolling! Everyone's eyes got real big and Ecretjust laughed, "That happens all the time here in the middle of the Pacific, no problem!" USA ·s veteran off road racer and head of the "Mainland Assault" Glenn Harris, flew his SLC Mazda truck to an overall and Unlimited Class victory at the Smokin' Wheels event. An unusual event to say the least. the Guam Visitors Bureau and R .J. Reynolds Tobacco, under the promotorship of Guam-anian businessman Dave Ecret, produce one great local race! "Guam?" "The island?" "In the middle of the Pacific?" "That's the one ... " It all began inocently enough last year. Ecret invited racer Glenn Harris over to Guam to participate in his off-road event held in the hills, south of Agana. Glenn went over and in profes-sional American form, took the overall title and came back to the mainland raving about the race, the hospitality and the "one-man show" put on by Ecret and his family. To recap a little history of the 12 years that Guam-Smokin' Wheels has been in existence, local off-road enthusiasts George Flores and Henry Simpson have been the main contenders for the overall ti tie over the years, although, in 1979 Malcolm Smith boasted the title of overall champion and Roger Mears found time in his schedule in 1982 to visit Guam and take the title. The 1989 edition of Guam-Winston Smokin' Wheels was a week that will go down in the history books as one we'll never forget, ( even if we tried really hard). Dave Ecret and his wife, Dina, both local business persons, pulled together an impressive list of sponsors to help make this event happen for the last two years. Ecret is a partner in the NBC Radio affiliate on Guam, and Dina owns two travel agen-cies. Being such a small island, with an extremely concentrated market area, you could say that the movers and shakers on the island are involved in everything. When you say the name, Guam, to an off-islander such as myself, I congered up visions of a few airstrips, with gooney birds inhabiting most of the island, was I in for a dose of reality! Tuesday, June 13-Day One: After piling out at LAX, I joined the crowd at the Contin-ental Airlines SkyCap booth. The SkyCap was trying to manage a group of30 people and triple that amount in baggage. Glenn Harris was in rare form and already had the SkyCap totaly confused, and it was only 7:00 a.m.! Harris, of stadium racing fame, and his sister Lesley Burke, who manages his accessories business, were the catalyst to organizing the "Main-land Assault" for this far-away race. Soon Spencer Low and his group joined us at the airport; Jerry and Bryce Whelchel and RACE CAR PREP • 17 Years Experience in Driving and Maintaining Off Road Bugs & Buggies • Wins at Almost Every Major Race lnclucing: 2 Baja 1 000's 2 Mint 400's 2 Points Championships Reasonable Prices and Work Completed on Time!

By the time we boarded our DC-10 we had found Lynn Chenowth, motorcycle riders Bryan Holcomb, Mike Fischer and Mike Preston and all their families. Jim Holley was to join us directly from Montreal, the next day. Well that seemed like every-one, no, wait, where was Dean Sundahl, the U.S. A TV champ? Oh well, we'd just have to worry about that later. Your faithful publisher/ editor Jean Calvin was to have joined the group, but was unable as she was in intensive care recouperating from surgery for complications due to a head injury received while racing in Baja. We found out from her husband, John, that when she woke up in intensive care she was making shopping lists for Guam, not realizing how grave her condition had become or how long she had been un-conscious. If the plane ride was to have been any indication of how the next week would go, it was going to be one helluva an adventure. Fifteen hours and many screaming babies later, we touched down in Guam. thank goodness for pubs on those flights! Yes, we did find Sundahl, asleep on the plane just before we landed in Honolulu for our layover. June 14-Still Day One: The town of Agana is much larger than I expected, no gooney birds either. Turmon Bay, where we are staying, is beautiful; a half-moon shaped bay dotted with resort hotels. Guam is Japan's Hawaii with many newly married Japanese couples and young families as the mainstay of tour-ism. Except for Agana and a few smaller towns, quite a bit of the inland area of the island is still relatively uninhabited, with the small villages pocketing the coastline. Wednesday,June 14-Stilllater op Dav One: The Pacific Star Hotel, in T urmon Bay, a beautiful coral reef' bay, granted our meager troupe of 32 domicile for the next week. Can you imagine a five-star hotel Where was Sundahl? We were introduced to Australian rider Glen Bell and his manager Mark Luksich; the Japanese competitor Chiyakaza Hioshi, and local racers George Flores, president of the Guam Racing Association and Henry Simpson, who owns some of the land that the race is run over. A knock at the door and in walks Sundahl, with a birthday cake. It seems he and Glenn Harris share the same birthday, what an excuse for a party! After two days of being awake, everyone decided it was time to try sleep mode. Thursday,June 15-DayThree: A press conference in the Micronesia Mall was first on the day's agenda. This was a well attended press conference with radio, TV and print vying for the driver's time. Only Glenn Harris had some notion of what the competitors would_be up against, We off-loaded to tropical heat ' and humidity. At the immigration area promotor Ecret met our group to help expedite our way through customs. The Japanese motorcycle riders didn't have it quite so easily. It seems they misunderstood the immigration form and marked the "working in Guam" box instead of the " play-ing in Guam'' box and the customs man wanted their work permits. Ecret finally explained that motorcycle racing is hard • work, but is under the heading of pleasure/vacation for off-island-ers.

Or, for that matter, yet to see their racing vehicles, as they were shipped over by container a month earlier and some of the motorcycle riders were just going to run bikes and A TVs provided by local dealer-ships. Spencer Low had his pre-runner, which was his 1988 race truck, shipped out. Jerry Whel-chel had his stadium Super 1600 buggy, with a big motor in it. And Glenn Harris had one of his Mazda stadium trucks to race. These three vehicles were expect-ed to be the main force in the off-road event, or so we thought! The local Kawasaki dealer helped Mike Preston and Mike Fischer with their bikes. They invited us to go jet skiing and try out the new Kawasaki Jet Mate 3-man boat. Ahh, our first visit to the bright blue Pacific! It was delicious. Back to the Mall and through tech. It actually takes just as long to tech your vehicle and register in Guam as it does at the Score races! Where was Sundahl? We had his video camera case in the back of the car. Friday, June 16-Day Four: Our curiosity to see the track was killing us! The parade from the Mall to the race track was finally under way and merrily attracting attention during the noonday rush hour, until we got separated from the crowd and had no idea where we were going. Spencer just headed down one of the main drags and we eventually found the trail of breadcrumbs, or trail of Winston Racing signs, as this case may be. The track was tucked away in the hills overlooking the bay. What we saw was a surprise, natural red clay, and plenty of it. But unfortunatly wet clay is a real challenge for the racers. Glen Bell was grinning ear to ear, seems he is quite familiar with muddy events and actually likes them. the locals do too. Here it was, day four, and poor Sundahl still had yet to see his A TV to be supplied by a local dealer. He didn't mind, saying that's why there are 24 hours in each and every day. He figured he could work on it all night and be ready to race the next day. The Governor, Joseph Ada, and his wife, were the hosts of a banquet for all the competitors and media that evening, at the Governors' House.

"I'm glad we could w1.n one for our new sponsor, Larry Miller Toyota in Phoenix." Teammate Higgins had this to say: "We had a tire go down but they changed it quick, and we'd used up the brakes by the final lap, but the Toyota toughed it out!" But lap five saw big changes behind the winning pair. Cheuv-ront, secure in second ahead of Brown, came ov-er a rise and found a tree blocking the trails, thanks to Class 8 's Rob McCabe. His situation wasn't hopeless though - until McMullen nailed him and drove Cheuvront under the tree. This left him stuck under the limbs with the shock towers effectively anchoring the car.

The course was almost identical to last year's but was covered in reverse and one section was rerouted around a rancher's herd. Pro Division racers would cover six full laps, Sportsman three and the Beginners four short laps. Class 10 was first off in the Pro ranks, followed by 1. 2, 8, 4, 1-2- · 1600 and Challenger. Tom Foley and Gary Under-down set hot lap among the 10s on their first circuit to lead Bill Capatch by an even minute with Al McMullen, Greg Oswskey, and Duncan Brown making up the front five. Ca patch moved into the lead on lap two and Oswskey took ovec second as McMullen's steering broke and Foley/Underdown lost ten minutes. Steve Cheuvront was now third and coming on strong. Four unlimiteds took the green flag in Class 1, and it was Robert Gayton out front by 22 seconds over Jim Travis. Steve Simmons was third ahead ofJack Dinsmore, in his Class 5 convertible.

As usual, Class 2 offered the wildest racing, l:ut consistency still paid off. At the end of lap one, Gray Hendricks enjoyed a 31 second advantage over Gary Anderson. Jerry Finney was third, five seconds back ahead of Everett/Everett with Mike Perez/ Ross Whitmoyer and Paul Nolte tied for fifth. Hendricks continued to lead on lap two, but Anderson was now 54 seconds back, Nolte moved into third, John Thul was now fourth and Bill Cook took over fifth. At the halfway point, Hend-ricks enjoyed a 2:16 margin over Anderson and Nolte, tied for second. Hendricks would have his worst time on lap four, but it was just 1: 17 off his . best and he continued to lead.

Richard Mann continues to dominate Class 8 this year, and this time he was fourth overall as well. Craig Bell and Walt Laycock played it smooth in Class 4 for the win at 11th overall.

Turben then took over second and finished there, 14 minutes behind Mann. In at third despite a flying last lap was Bailey to make it a Chevy sweep as no other truck finished. Rob McCabe had a story to tell. He and co-driver/sponson/ spouse Nancy, after a bad first lap, were picking up speed each loop until about halfway through lap four. As they landed from a fly-away rise, the Ford's rear axle broke loose and swiveled, pitch-ing the pair into the trees. Just as they stopped, Rob looked at Nancy to see if she was okay as a tree ( 14-inch diameter, 60-feet tall) came crashing down on his side of the truck ( for once!). This really blocked the course but only Cheuvront and McMullen got seriously entangled. McCabe is working on a new truck. Mann took his third consec-utive win for the BFGoodrich/KC HiLites/Gas/Genco/Safelite Auto Glass/Copper State Nut & Bolt/ Engery Suspension Chevy with a time of 4:21 :36 and fourth overall. Benny Hinds and John Randall led lap one in the Class 4 battle with Craig Bell and Walt Laycock just 20 seconds behind and Rich Severson, with BFG's Chuck Poulson riding shotgun, third.

After one lap, 66% of the Class 1-2-1600 entries were tied on time. Of course, there were only three entries. But Jim Borel and Tony Pierce had a great battle all the way while T earn Krug stayed close in third. At the flag each time, Borel would be just seconds ahead, and at the checkered, he held a 39 second margin in the Foddrill Fabrications/ ND Prep/Off road Communications Chenowth. Finally, four Challengers ended the Pro line-up. Bill Clawson led laps one and two, then Ron Dalke took over to the finish as the only class finisher after Clawson broke on the last lap. This was the first Pro Challenger win for Dalke, in at 20th overall with a time of 5:09:02 in the Safari Landscape/ Gannon Grading/ T.U.F. Off Road single.

No other lubricant can provide the high tem-perature protection of Red Line oils, which use neoapentyl polyol esters, the only lubricants capable of withstanding the tremendous heat of modem jet engines. Red Line has spent 1 0 years developing this high-temperature technology into lubricants which provide the most power and the best protection available. IMPROVED THERMAL STABILITY Red Line lubricants are formulated without the use of the unstable polymeric thickeners which are required to make petroleum multigrades. This means that Red Line 20W50 will provide 25% greater oil film thickness than a petroleum 20W50, resulting in reduced bearing and valve train wear. REDUCED TEMPERATURES Red Line lubricants reduce friction, which reduce the source of heat, and will also transfer heat more effectively. In off-road use, temperature reductions of 15-30°F in air-cooled engines are typical, and differential temperature reductions of 15-70°F are common. These reductions in temperature can enable equipment to survive when other lubricants wih allow a failure.

-BFGOODRICH on ROAD CHALLENGE At the Toronto Skydome By Rob Mcrae Photos: Gerry Donnelle/Bert Coates Quebec champion Richard Dagenais leads the pack, in a car of his own design, to a Friday night victory, but crashed on Saturday while battling for the lead. Exhibition Stadium, Toronto, lap qualifiers. The top three June 1979. Thirty-five thousand finishers would qualify for the soaked motocross fans are watching the first ever Toronto Supercross under a dark and rainy sky. Loyal to the racing, they stay to see the last mud caked rider cross the finish line. Ten years later, 72,800 of those same loyal fans sat in dry luxury at Toronto's new SkyDome to see some of the best action in the history of the event. The Molson Export Supercross featured two nights of racing for both the motocross and off road vehicles this year, as organizers expected the SkyDome to attract larger than usual crowds. The BFGoodrich Off Road Challenge had an expanded purse, the off road cars competing for $30,000 over both nights. There was a full entry of cars, although some of the usual Midwest contenders had a conflict with the Spring Run 101 at Crandon, Wisconsin. The fifth running of the BFGoodrich Off Road Truck Challenge for Class 4, 3 and 7, also had a strong entry for the four lap, all out sprint races. SkyDome featured a blisteringly fast track layout, which was wider and smoother than ever before. It would prove to be very dangerous. Friday, June 23 was a beautiful day, and the retractable roof was open, letting the exhaust fumes . escape. The BFGoodrich Challenge started with three four main event. The first heat had a good mix of drivers on the grid. Raynald Vaillancourt charged off the start, powering away from the pack! Bill Lefeuvre of T earn BFGoodrich followed, with Gilles Hamel leading the rest of the close-matched entry. Vaillancourt was· flying high, putting yards between himself and Lefeuvre. The backmarkers packed into a high speed corner, and there were cars everywhere. Vaillancourt took the win, having avoided the litter of broken and out of control cars. Lefeuvre hung on for second, leading Denis Boisclair who had passed Hamel. The second qualifier saw another nine cars lined up and ready to roar. Richard Dagenais, a former Challenge Champion, got the inside line just ahead of Dave Lofland. Joe Hofmann, from Tonawanda, New York was in third, leading BFGoodrich racer Joel Croft. In typical fashion, Dagenais ran away with the race, sliding all of the corners and leaping the jumps in a beautiful car of his own design. Dagenais took the win by almost a full lap, followed by Lofland, from Palmyra, New Jersey in second and Hofmann in third. Qualifier number three was a real smash 'em up derby. Norman Vaillancourt was off the line first, and he held on to the lea~ despite a challenge from Tim Lemons. Dan Baudoux followed in third, with Tom Arthur chasing behind. A lone Canadian was leading a contingent of Americans! Back in the pack, Dave Hunter hit one of the many nasty bumps and rolled into the infield. Mark Williams caught his rear tire, and they smashed together and into the hay bales. Ray Jennings was also in trouble; Kevin Norris and several other racers were shunted into him, causing Jennings to catapult over a four foot high concrete barrier. Norman Vaillancourt managed to avoid this turmoil, and he won the race, still leading Lemons, Baudoux and Arthur. Twelve cars lined up for the BFGoodrich Last Chance Sprint. Only the top two cars would qualify for the final. Tom Arthur caught the lead, and stayed there, followed by Joel Croft and Serge Lambert. Wayne Lemons and Gilles Hamel tangled, rolling off into the barrier. Farmington Hills, Michigan's Steve Norris charged past Lambert, and began to challenge Croft. Driving a Chenowth Magnum, Norris powered around the circuit, taking Croft, and the last spot in the final, on the last lap. Thirteen heavy metal trucks started the BFGoodrich Off Road Truck race. Lined up wider than the track itself, they roared to the first turn in a remarkably clean fashion. BFGoodrich Team .,.. -Veteran racer Bill Lefeuvre charged his Berrien around rhe track to place thlfd on Friday, but Saturday was disqualified with those who passed on the yellow TI A's Milan Mazenek was in front out of the turn, very closely followed by Brian Case m his General Tire Class 7 Toyota. Linda Schlamb was in third, leading Denis Piccolo and Mazanek's BFG teammate Barry Wannamaker. Attrition was high, as the effects of the rough, tight course were quickly felt. Mazenek threaded through the mess, and Case was desperately trying to catch him, losing most of his body panels in the process. Piccolo and Wannamaker passed Sch lamb on lap 3, but they were far behind the thumping and b a ngin g of Mazenek and Case. Jeff Easton put on a last minute burst of speed, passing Schlamb and Wannamaker for fourth. For Mazenek it was his fifth consecutive Supercross win, with Case disappointed in second ' place, Piccolo in third, Easton in fourth and Wannamaker in fifth. D efending race champion Richard Dagenais rocketed away from the other ten cars on the line for Friday's 10 lap BFGoo<lrich Off Road Challen ge Final. Raynald Vaillancourt tucked in behind him with his brother Norman Vaillancourt and Tim Lemons of Warren, Michigan flying behind. Lemons got knocked around in traffic. He touched tires ·.vith another car and was sent sailir.g through the air off the course. Dagenais continued to lead, challenged bv Raynald Vaillan-court. Bill Lefeuvre and Dave Lofland passed Norman Vatllan-court to tah third and fourth. Norman Vaillancourt then hit a bad bump and endoed down the back straig!-taway. Dagenais captured the checkered flag with ease, Raynald Vaillancourt took second and L~feuvre hung on to third place. Then the : raziness started. Dagenais a nd Vaillancourt collided after the checkered flag, hooked up and plowed around the course out of control. Bill Lefeuvre kept to the inside line, and was hit by Dagenais' car, which sent Bill's car flying into the infield. In one of the most spectacular broad jumps ever seen, a nearby marshal avoided Lefeuvre's airborne racer by jumping almost across the motocross track! Later accounts for this dangerous madness told that Dagenais, Vaillancourt and Lefeuvre all didn't see the checkered flag and continued to race. For Saturday's event the finish line was moved so this wouldn't happen again. The controversy continued as a protest was made stating that Denis_ Boisclair and Richard Dagenais battle for the lead on Saturday night, but both ended up over the barrier which gave the win to Dave Lofland. ·/;4/f, .. ....,....,......,_ ..... #"""~ .,;:.-. ¾.. ~~ --Norman Vaillancourt won his qualifier on both nights, but was unable to catch and challenge the leaders in the finals.

Ohio's Jerry Grimm had an excellent race in his Mantis on Saturday night commanding his heat Raynald Vaillancourt leads Dave Lofland around the SkyDome to win his qualifier and place second race from start to finish. in the final, but was taken out in Saturday's crashes. Dagenais had jumped the gun. Rumours also had it that Vaillancourt did the same, which would have given the win to Lefeuvre. After watching several videos of the race the protest was declared invalid and Dagenais kept his victory. Saturday,June 24 had the same format as Friday, only this time race director Doug Williamson had persuaded officials to add two laps to each off road vehicle event. This was done to give extra time for passing and to make the races more exciting for the drivers and the crowd. The qualifying races were now six laps long. It was Richard Dagenais repeating at the front of Qualifier Number 1, with Raynald Vaillancourt again using every ounce of his power in a scramble to catch him. Ed Righter was in third, followed by Dave Lofland of Palmyra, New Jersey. Dagenais pulled out a long lead on Vaillancourt and Lofland passed Righter for third. Dagenais took the checkered flag yet another time, followed to the feature by Vaillancourt in second, and Lofland in third. Norman Vaillancourt and Joe Hofmann stormed out of the pack at the start of Qualifier Number 2. Frank Bason was a distant third, with Gilles Hamel in fourth and Tom Arthur in fifth. Vaillancourt continued to power away from Hofmann in his Richard Dagenais designed car. Arthur passed Hamel with an inside line but could not catch Bason. Vaillan-court took the win, followed by Hofman in second, Bason in third and Arthur went to the last chance. The third Qualifier was a rolling carpet of bumping and banging cars, with Gerry Grimm in the lead. Paul Robertson was in second, Bill Lefeuvre tried to pass him on the inside and they connected. Held up with Robertson, Lefeuvre was passed by Denis Boisclair, Tim Lemons and Dan Baudoux. Grimm was way out in front, followed now by -• Boisclair and Lemons, who was driving his heart out to catch the Quebec T I A star. Grimm held on for the checkered flag, with Boisclair in second, Lemons in third and Baudoux in fourth. Right after Dave Hunter took the lead of the Last Chance Qualifier, the track became a mess of cars as Ed Righter, Dan Baudoux and Kevin Norris all crashed into each other. Hunter was being chased by Wayne Lemons, Lefeuvre and Arthur. But Hunter rolled the Magnum off a jump, giving Lemons the lead and Lefeuvre second. Lefeuvre then passed Lemons, with Arthur right behind him relegating Lemons to third. Powered by a new VW Sirocco engine, Lefeuvre stormed around the track in classic form, leaping and freaking over the terrain and sailing over the jumps. "Cool Bill" took the checkered flag by half the track. Unfortunately, in the first of the evening's judgement calls, Lefeuvre was disqualified right after the race. Officials said that he had passed under a yellow flag. Arthur was given the win, and Lemons garnered second place. The BFGoodrich Off Road Truck Final was also extended to six laps in length. Once again there were way too many vehicles for the track, and a large scale accident was in the back of every one's mind. But, the start was clean again! Peter Hattin, from Bancroft, Ontario won the drag race, followed by Brian Case, Tony Michaud and Barry Wannamaker.Wannamaker passed Michaud on lap 2, while Case was using every trick in the book to get by Hattin. Hattin held on to his lead, constantly having to close his doors on Case. Case tried again on the rough section known as the BFGoodrich Twisters, but was unsucces~J.Il until the corner. Case took the inside line through the last corner of the last lap. Hattin exploded to the outside and swung around a group of backmarkers in a mad BFGoodrich representative Chris Curtis presented winner Dave Lofland with his second ever Supercross trophy on Saturday night. Dusty Times dash for glory. They met on the middle line. Case had the racing line, he stuck to his position and Hattin had nowhere to go. Hattin's Bronco bounced up along the haybales and got high centred on the concrete barrier. The Bronco tipped over off the course, slid on its roof for two hundred feet, bursting into flames along the way, and crashed into the stadium wall. Case kept going, taking the checker. All eyes were on Hattin, as sponsors and officials sat on the edge of their seats, and the crowd ran up the bleachers to avoid the disaster below. The efficient CATT racker Marshals were instantly on the scene and the fire was put out quickly. Miraculously, no one was injured. The drama wasn't over however. After much discussion and after he had been presented with a trophy and cheque, Case was disqualified for breaking the yellow flag rule. Jeff Easton, who had been second, inherited the win, Wannamaker was now second and Michaud third. The yellow flag rule, while very important is difficult to enforce in a tight and frantic stadium race setting. The marshals, of necessity, are all over the place. In future races, there should be definite and visible flag stations, as well as stewards watching from above field level. Neither Lefeuvre nor Case were aware that they had committed the transgression and the procedure for enforcement is hazy at best. As expected, the wildest race of the weekend was Sunday's BFGoodrich Off Road Challenge Final. On the first lap, Raynald Vaillancourt put his Berrien to the lead on two wheels! Next time around brother Norman Vaillancourt, in second, slammed into Raynald° and Titn Lemotis and they slid off a high speed corner and crashed into the concrete barrier. The front end of Norman Vaillancourt's car was demolished as it smashed into the concrete. A second ·pack of vehicles hit the mess, further crunching the first pack into the barrier. Engines died, racers yelled at each other and marshals sprinted to the scene. Every vehicle was dead, and the whole track was blocked. On the back straight, the lone car of Richard Dagenais was still racing! The crowd loved it. A lot of vehicles had been damaged and had to be towed out. But, Officials decided to restart the race After some frenzied repairs, Richard Dagenais led the restart, followed by Denis Boisclair and Dave Lofland.

Don· German Wins Overall at the Virginia City 100 Classic Fi!xt & Photos: Ki!n Vmuli!rhoof (Focus Wi!st) Even a slow start due to a first lap flat couldn't keep Don German from getting first overall and first in Class 3/4 in his road eating Jeep. Nestled high in the Sierra Nevada mountains outside Reno, Nevada, sits the quaint historical community of Virginia City. Home of such fame as the Bonanza T.V. series, the yearly renown camel races, and the thundering action of off road racing hosted by V .O.R.R.A. VORRA's Virginia City 200 desert race covers some of the most treacherous terrain off road racing has to offer. This year's twenty-mile course was particu-1 a rl y tough on the heavier vehicles, which made it even more incredible that the overall winner was the heaviest of the Heavy Metals. Master Jeep pilot, Don German from Petaluma, Cali-fornia, came all the way from his forty-first starting position to take the overall and Class 4 win, plus leap frog into the 1989 overall series points lead. To open the event Class 1 cars left with Kevin Ohnstad setting the pace with a 28: 13 first lap. Less than two minutes back was a familiar battle. going on between Eric Ver ling and Steve Bradford. Class 2 left the line next with Tim Bell and Jack Hamm turning in a 30:39 first lap. Class points leaders Kevin McNabb and Mike Russell turned in a 30:40 to show how tight the whole day was going to be. Class 1-2-1600 had David Macaskill holding a compara-tively comfortable four second lead over Joe Gordon after the first go around. Combined Classes 3 & 4 had the Chevy truck of Tom Scahill leading the first lap at 32:33, but Tom was being hounded by Wes Banks in the early going. Darrol Brown and Don German lost a few minutes being held up by a bottleneck and their own respec-tive flat tires, but both drivers made up the time once they were in the clear. Class 9 had the Yerington 400 class winner, Chuck Taylor, grab the lead early and stretch it out as the laps progressed. John Taylor took over the controls in the secord half and had a major probi :m when he was nerfed into a tree. He got it out with a little help from his friends to later take the ~in in Class 9.

Bill Lott made an excellent first lap of 32:36. His nearest competitor was the Baja Bug of Jim Willaman at 34:02. Behind Jim the rest of the class was bumper to bumper. The overall lead tightened up even further on lap 2 as Steve Bradford set the fastest lap of the day at 28:02 just ahead of Eric Verling's 28:03. Tim Bell's 28:21 was his best lap in pulling a full twenty seconds over the McNabb and Russell team. Bob Lemos was moving up well after being held up in the usual first lap traffic jam. Short course specialist, Wes Elrod, led Class 10, although after one lap the first five cars were runnjng together within a one minute time span. The class became a traffic jam in itself with Elrod holding off Chris Oberg, Herman Salaz, Rob Smith, Tim Fitzpatrick Sr., Dale Smith, and a host of others. A notable early DNF was David Taylor who took the class win at the recent Yerington 400. Dave broke a trany on the first uphill section and spectated from there. By now the 1-2-1600 race was anybody's guess. Positions seemed to change at every checkpoint, and coupled with that was the starting time deductions which meant a really tight battle.

Mazda Win·s the Rothmans Rally of New Zealand Text & Photos: Martin Holmes Cornering hard in New Zealand toward their second World Rally win of the year in a private works 323 4WD Mazda is lngvar Carlsson and Per Carlsson. Driving a works Mazda 323 in disquise, Ingvar Carlsson scored his second World Championship Rally Victory of the year, this time as a privateer. He beat Rod Millen's similar car convincingly, even though the California based New Zealander had the official support of the factory for this event. Apart from a curious differential fault on the final day which defied explanation, Carlsson had a trouble free run in which he pulled steadily away , from all the opposition. In the next two places were the two official front wheel drive GM cars of Malcolm W ilson and Mats Jonsson. These cars were amazing-ly well matched, but at the end of the last two days Wilson pulled ahead in the darkness, and at the end of stage 3 7, team manager Melvyn Hodgson announced that Wilson would finish third. Jimmy McRae crashed when third, but his son Colin finished fifth, and both father and son scored fastest stage times during the event in Ford Sierra Cosworths. country roads. Some forest roads were also used, with those at the end of the third day being particularly rough. Another curiosity before the event was the chances of Mitsubi-shi after promising performances in Europe. Ralliart Australia entered two cars for Ross Dunkerton and Kenjiro Shino-zuka. Both were to run independ-ently, and were much less powerful than the cars used in Europe. Group N entries Pascal Gahan and Gregoire de Mevius failed to materialize for various reasons. In all 71 cars started the rally. The rally began in the middle of Auckland's main street at noon, before the first stage nearby at The second drivers points only round of the World Champion-·· ship was a four day event, based primarily in Auckland, but spent two nights further south at Rotorua. Without top teams such The Domain, an asphalt section around a war monument. The cars then completed a loop north of Auckland before returning to the city for the official welcome. On Saturday the 4WD Mazdas began with determination but found the front drive GM cars a surprising challenge in the . predominatly wet conditions. Ingvar Carlsson took the lead on the first gravel section and gradually pulled away from the field. After making fastest time on all six gravel stages he finished the day over a minute ahead of fellow Mazda drivers Rod Millen and Ray Wilson. Mats Johsson took third best time on the stages but dropped to fifth with road penalties due to a broken exhaust. as Lancia and Toyota, the event promised to be far more opett than usual.

Page 44 September 1989 After an electrical failure at the end of stage 4, "Possum" Bourne had to push his Subaru past the finish line, and he was excluded by the Stewards. In the wet conditions the Fords were unable to use their power to full effect. Jimmy McRae was fourth by evening and son Colin was sixth. Jonsson's teammate Malcolm Wilson was suffering from a virus but drove bravely to finish the day fifth. All day the speed of Carlsson was a surprise to the other competitors. Only six cars failed to arrive back in Auckland at the end of the leg. On Sunday Ingvar increased his lead over Rod Millen, while Jimmy McRae retired his Cos-worth on stage 18, when in third place, when he hit a tree and overturned. Sunny weather soon dried out the tracks, but still Carlsson was quickest. "I was always too cautious in choosing the tires", said Millen. "I kept on choosing narrow tires when the wider ones would have been better. I cannot keep up with Carlsson on the faster stages, he is doing a good job." The day promised a big fight between GM drivers. At the start of the second section Wilson was four seconds ahead of] onsson; by Sunday evening he was seven. Another rivalry was in the Mitsubishi camp. After seven stages Dunkerton was ahead of Shinozuka in a comeback drive, then had sundry mechanical failures and dropped back. Ray Wilson also dropped back on Sunday, from third to sixth, ending the section with a flip and losing two more minutes. In Group N Fredrik Skoghag increased his pace and moved up to 14 seconds behind Group leader Jennings. Apart from damp and foggy stages in the evening, Monday was dry and sunny. The route headed east past Whakatane and up the tortuous Motu Road mountain -4 pass. Carlsson continued to demonstrate control that was unmatchable. To the dissappoint-ment of local enthusiasts Rod Millen announced he had given up the chase and decided to settle for second place. "I'm only really here to gain points for the Pacific-Asian Championship," he said. Over the day he dropped 40 seconds even though Carlsson twice slowed up. Millen eased off a bit much, as on the final two stages Malcolm Wilson closed to seven seconds behind Millen. The day held a fight for the lead in Group N. · On stage 22 Skoghag's Lancia drew level with Jennings' GT-Four, but on the next stage the Delta was off the road and in. a stream leaving the Toyota with a comfortable Group lead. Dunkerton regained ground but then had a shock absorber fail. Colin McRae was lonely in fifth place. Neil Allport had a throttle break. His co-driver had to sit in the engine compartment for 13 km in the wet and dark to get to a service point. The l::attle between the two GM cars was uncannily close. Wilson went off the road and lost about 20 secoads, but by the end of the day he was eight seconds ahead of Jonsson again. The two Group N Diahats•JS were in trouble. Strong went on his roof and lost over 20 minutes and Roestenberg was suffering from an eight minute penalty for a disputed early arrival on the second day in addition to losing five minutes road penalty after clutch trouble. Paddy Davidson lost the class lead and nearly 15 minutes after overturn-ing on the first Motu Road stage in the Group N Super Turbo. On Tuesday the battle for third place between the Opels looked like threatening Millen's second place as well, but the Mazda gradually inched ahead. It was wet underfoot, but not enough to give the 4WD cars much advantage. Millen said, "We just cannot pull Ninth place went to the Ralliart sister Mitsubishi Ga/ant VR-4 car driven by Ross Dunkerton and Steve McKimmie as they.pass the calm crowd. Dusty Times

ahead in the sweeping curves. If there were fast straights and sharp corners we would be well away." Carlsson was not quite happy. "The front end of the car weaves from side to side at the· start of each stage. We think it is the differential. After three of four krns on each stage the problem goes away. Then on stage 33 they stopped when the driver thought a wheel was coming loose and the co-driver hopped out to·check it. "Maybe I was just getting a bit too nervous" said Ingvar afterwards. the Wilson-Johsson battle couldn't be allowed to continue, for they had no realistic chance of beating either of the Mazdas, but they continued at full speed until right before the end. British hopes were also on Colin McRae, who had got into a sensible groove, but Bob Locke was destined to retire. At the top of Group N Mark Jennings was cruising his Toyota until the final stage when his turbo failed. This surprisingly let the 323 4WD of the father and son Adamson team through to be the first locals at the finish, thus giving Mazda the win in both Groups. Dunkerton ' finally got through to the top ten despite all his troubles. ' It had been the biggest and one of the most exciting New Zealand Rallies. Sometimes rallies can be much more interesting if the top names stay at home! IDRAREPORT .?;,.ii, Running well until an electrical failure at the end of stage 4 forced "Possum" Bourne and Roger Freeth to push their Subaru RX Turbo across to finish, resulting in an exclusion from the stewards. Competition Review Board Report By George R. Thompson, IDRA Managing Director The Competition Review Board for the HDRA Fireworks 250 met at 8:00 p.m. Saturday, July 1, in the cafeteria at Barstow College in wfiat turned out to be a marathon session lasting well into the night. For lack of space the report will be edited this month. Attending the meeting were Danny Cau, HDRA President, Jerry Bender, HDRA Race Director, George Thompson, IDRA Rep. (CRB Marshal), Jon Kennedy, Board Administrator, Dale]ordan, Class 6 Driver Rep., Rich Richardson, Class 9 Driver Rep., Stan Parnell, Class 5 Driver Rep. (alt.), Frank Vessels, Class 8 Driver Rep. (alt.), Tom Koch, Pit Support Rep. (Checkers). There were 11 protests sched-uled to be heard and the waiting room was packed with drivers and witnesses. Danny Cau had installed a very efficient system for advising drivers to report to the CRB. In addition to the required one hour posting of all protested entries, HDRA officials also "black flagged" these racers at the end of a lap and handed them a note to appear at the Review Board. this proved to be most effective and contributed significantly to the high level of participation at this meeting. The first case charged #210 with v.i.Plating rules O39-A, dangerous driving in a checkpoint area and 037, failure to stop at a checkpoint. The first witness was the Captain of Checkpoint 4 who testified that #210 came in so fast he hit and tore down the CP sign, then ran on through, not attempting to stop. Signatures of other officials at the scene were Dusty Times attached to the written protest. However, the CRB learned that when #210 returned to the check he was told, "it's too late, you've already been reported." The CP Captain, who was then excused, is known to operate one of the most professional checkpoints in desert racing and the report of this veteran official was discussed at length. Then the driver of #210 testified that he saw a young man with a day-glo orange flag waving him through, so he said he did go through the checkpoint. With many bystanders waving at him to go back, he did just that by driving through the pits. He stopped at the check, and then went on racing. He said that they waved you through at every other road crossing on the course that day. Several witnesses came forward, not connected with #210 and their account of the events at check 4 supported #2 lO's claim that he thought he had been waved through. The board discussed this case for an hour and a half. We had an official who presented the truth as she saw it, and we had a racer who viewed the entire situation in his own terms. They were both telling the truth. The unanimous decision of the board was to find #210 not guilty of running the checkpoint because he believed he had been flagged through; however we voted to issue him a Letter of Reprimand for ap-proaching the check too fast instead of a penalty because there was some evidence that the approach to this area did not offer an unlimited vehicle enough time to react. The next case concerned #801 accused of the same violation, failure to stop at a checkpoint, also CP4. According to the Official on the scene "He didn't even attempt to stop. He came in about 40 mph and went right through. He never even turned around to come back." There were a number of points which separated this case from that of #210. Most notable, of course, was that he didn't even bother to show up to defend his action. Bear in mind that this entry was properly notified about this violation and chose, for whatever reason, not to appear. In his absence the board voted unani-mously to penalize this racer 30 minutes and send him a Letter of Reprimand. Car #1603 also failed to stop for a checkpoint, this time at CP7. As with #801, this entry failed to report to the review board and was also assessed a 30 minute time penalty _and issued a Letter of Reprimand. It would appear that some racers feel that they are above the rules and show little or no concern for the activities of the CRB in spite of the fact that most members of the board are all active racers who donate their time for the good of the sport. In dealing with all non-technical protests, this board has been granted Official status by both SCORE and HDRA. We intend to exercise that authority as equally and fairly as is humanly possible. This applies to every racer competing in a SCORE/ HDRA points series event. Late in the race, at about the 39 September 1989 ~~ ··:,:;~-'festi ng the local fern jungle for depth with their Mitsubishi Ga/ant VR-4 ended the rally for Kazuo Sohma and Kyuki Makita. mile marker, three entries were seen taking some liberties with the marked course when they elected to iron out some of the curves by taking detours, a violation of rule O39-A. Because this is such a serious offense, which threatens .the very sport of desert racing, these cases are carefully examined by the review board. In the case of #343, a veteran racer, the board felt that he knew he was not precisely on the marked course, but no clear intent was evident so he received a Letter of Reprimand. The same penalty was assessed ·on #1621 but, "Oops" this fellow had an earlier Letter of Reprimand from the Parker race, so he was given a 15 minute penalty and a second Letter of Reprimand in his file. Entry #205 didn't seem to place much importance on his case, becaus"' he wasn't there to talk ~eroquip ~· ..;., --about it. He received a 30 minute penalty and a Letter of Repri-mand for his indifference. A course official reported #405 off course around the 54 mile marker, just beyond Slash X. After some discussion with this racer it was determined that he was badly out of shape at the moment and forced to take a line into the desert and inadvertently off the course. Car #1624 was lost in the dust and strayed off course in this same area but quickly returned to the point of his deviation as soon as the dust settled. Car #1643, also sighted off course at this spot, took the route for safety reasons, due to mechanical damage. He did not finish, and the board voted that no action be taken in any of these cases. After meeting for over three hours, the board was adjourned at 11:14 p.m. ~ BUGPACKn, THE WRIGHT PLACE lJ}AUta jlj,leter (805) 683-1211 Page 45

Didn't hear too much about Prosser, just that trans problems put him on the trailer early. In Class 10, Dick W eyhrich from Oregon finished, but I didn't hear what place he got. Jeff and Perry Cohn changed tires all day until a broken trans put them out. Perry said he's giving up on racing, and will give 100% of his expertise to the family sheep farm. Lisa was our only open Class 5 car, surviving cv problems to get 9th. She again said something about moons all over the course, but no one fessed up. Darryl Gibson and Rich Firsch teamed up in a 5-1600 to get a good solid third place. Our pits this race didn't seem too busy from the reports I heard, but I know for sure that Frank Padilla at check 5 put on his usual "Banquet Pit" with shrimp, steak, and lobster kabobs! That man sure has fun out there! We had Need action photos? Call us for proof~! Trackside Photo, Inc.-Racing photography since 1970 ·-Trackside Photo, Inc.

The main was fairly slow, just welding on Parkhouse's car and fixing some belt on the Class 6 car of Jordan. Lot's of kids and families out there made it really nice. FAIR is going through elections now for a new Board of Directors, and by the time this hits print, the new people will be in place. We meet at the Holiday Inn, Fullerton, on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m., so come and join us and see what we're all about. ~ · OFF-ROAD RACING TEAM _ I .,, ' .. figured he might break his streak of bad luck if he let Richard Young drive the first half, but the result was the same -DNF. Richard had battery problems before completing the first lap. Young, who had spent a night stuck out in the desert with a broken ·car in Baja De Lou I, was not worried this time because Sugar had stowed a fancy new flare gun in the race car for this race. After awhile Richard de-cided that it was probably time to use it. 'Mumbles' loaded it up, pointed it skyward and fired away. Wow, was this great or what? The flare shot upward, blossomed into a brilliant light and then slowly floated to the ground. As the radio conversa-tion went on, you could tell by Richard's voice that he was now 'The Straight Poop From The Big Wahwo' . · more interested in chis fancy new The Off Road year is about to start winding down with most of the promoters having only one race left to run. Score's Baja 1000 is the only real biggie left, especially with them insisting that the race will still go from Ensen-ada to La Paz -NO CHANGES! You'll pardon us won't you Dr. Checker if a lot of us now have some serious doubts? More on this later. HORA is running it's Gold Coast300 at Jean in October and lets hope that we don't get that same main pit area with the steel culvert right in the middle of it again. If we do, it will be three races in a row! BAJA DE LOU III-Well you just knew it had to happen. Loggins and Armstrong have been sniffng around an overall win at most of Lou's races in the past, only to break before the finish line. In this race, driving Jim's 1-2/1600 car, Jim and Chris finally put it all together for a class win and overall victory. Loggins has been recently talking about selling his car, but a race like this will surely put an end to that kind of talk for awhile. Congratulations ... it's about time! I'm sure that this ~in softened the impact of the $5 fine Jim was slapped with at the following meeting for running with his blue light connected to his brake light switch. Scott McQuire earned a first place in Class 10 Sportsman for the second race in a row, but he did have his problems, as explained later. Lonnie Peralta picked up a second place in Class 3, 4, 7, and Steve Tabor and 'Spac' placed second in class on their Honda. Good race guys. This race was run mostly at night around the top part of the Laguna Salada, west of Mexicali, with the course sometimes runn-ing right along the edge of a now very wet 'dry lake'. It seems Melancon has a little more prob-lems with 'large natural objects' than his competitors lately. At Lou's last race Willie tried to mow down a very large bush and the bush won. this time he went sailing off onto the lake bed, whose surface was a wet cement like goo! Only after ·a number of hours, two trucks and lots of locals did 'The Mouth' extract his buggy. Hey Willie, did ya ever consider that you could avoid a lot of these kind of problems if ya SIMPLY ST A YEO ON TJ-IE COURSE? Speaking of problems, Sugar also was in this race. Chuck toy than his original problem. 'Mumbles' fired off another flare, then another and another. Pretty soon Sugar's voice came over the radio and said "Hey damn it, those things cost $5 bucks each". Sadly the fireworks display came to an end. Now back to our hero in his winning Class 10 Sportsman car. 'Kid McQuire' was one of many drivers that got lost during the race and he also supplied some humorous radio traffic while he was getting it straightened around. Scott called in "Hey I'm lost". As the conversation went back and forth with some preliminary questions and answers, you could hear in the background, when Scott was transmitting, that he was running fast, banging up and down thru the gears, headed somewhere, Finally one of the pits asked "Hey which direction are you going anyway?" After a moment Scott came back on the radio, engine still running hard, and said "Heck, I don't know". Everyone agreed that they would probably find him down at Hawkins' house tomorrow morn-ing! Baja De Lou IV, in San Felipe, is scheduled for September 16th. Congratulations go out to John Brooks and Jim Tabor who were voted back into the Club recently. Both of these 'old retired Checkers' asked the Club to re-instate them and were voted back on the active roster. There was some confusion among the mem-bers afterwards whether this was a sort of 'welcome back' gesture to any old Checkers that would like to get active again or did these old timers just catch the officers and members present in a good mood? Something nobody brought up during the vote was that Steve Tabor, who had recently been voted in as a full member, had promised the Club, that if ac-cepted, he would keep 'his old man' away from the weekly meetings. Great planning, but poor results -so now we.'ve got TWO Tabors to put up with! DID YA KNOW DEPT. For some of our newer members, did ya know that our Prez used to be quite a buggy racer in the old days down at Ascot in his car 'The Broker'; and that Sugar was a hot shot desert racer that rode for the San Gabriel M.C.; and McDowell got his nickname by refusing to switch over to the newer 2-cycle desert bikes, continuing to bounce along on his 4-cycle 'Thumper'? Did ya know that back before he was called 'Round Brown', Steve was a top amateur desert rider for Dusty Times

Page 47

the Checkers M.C.; and that Patrick & Bowers were the team to beat in the bike ranks at a lot of the earlier off road races? Did ya know that when Symonds quit racing bikes in the desert, he started running off road races in a Class 11 car; and that Stuart Chase traded his 11 second long races at the drags for 11 hour long rides out in the desert? Did ya know that Willie Melancon used to be a champion with a radio controlled race car and that Clarence Carter used to be the mayor of Phelan, Calif.? Did ya know that? Huh? RACE CAR RUMORS -STEVE BROWN, although he got a third at Barstow in Class 1, has about decided that he can't run with the big 6 cylinder cars with his little type I motor. So Brown will probably be switching to Class 10 shortly using a Toyota engine. JOHN BROOKS, who drove with Glenn Wolfe in their Class 10 win in Lou's Tecate race, has reportedly bought Glenn's car and is currently looking for a co-driver with lots of skill, lots of time to work on the car and lots of money. Hey John, lots of luck! JIM TABOR is rumored to be building a mid-engine pickup truck with 1000 HP and 40H of wheel travel that he intends to race in Class 2. Ya, OK Jim! Some other 'old retired Checkers' who I'm sure we'll be seeing more of, are having a new Class 2 car built by one of the local race car builders. JEFF BAINS, STEVE HOLIDAY & PETE BUCHAITZ are reportedly all going in to-gether on this project with Jeff and Steve doing the driving and Pete in charge of the beer. One final story from the July Barstow race. It seems Dr. Checker agreed to bring his trusty blender out to one of the outlying pits, but n·o sooner than he got there he realized that he had forgotten it and had to go to town and buy one, least he disappoint his Brother Checkers. It would appear that Steve is getting a little rusty in these matters. As the race was winding down, the blender was fired up only to discover that someone had laid short of the required mix. As our boys pond-ered this serious problem a familiar ting-a-ling, ting-a-ling was heard coming out of the dust and who would appear but a Mexican pushing one of those small ice cream carts. Will wonders ever cease? For the rest of the afternoon the crew pro-duced some of the damndest, one of a kind tropical drinks, using various flavors of popsicles and ice cream bars. Just anothe example of Checker luck and adaptability. Now back to the Baja 1000. there now seems to be a SLIGHT problem with this race. The Club has been repeatedly assured by Kassanyi that contracts have been signed and everything is now 'just fine' with regards to Score and our neighbors to the south.Well, just as the Club starts to plan seriously for this La Paz race, a letter signed by damn near every rancher in northern Baja shows up stating flatly that "In no way will we allow Score to run thru our ranches". As they say, the plot thickens! Lets hope that the racers and pitters don't get left hanging out to dry until the last minute before we get the truth on Dusty Times what's happening with this race. Stay tuned, there will hopefully be more developments on this shortly. And finally, by the time you read this column the Nevada 500 out of Pahrump will already have been run. Just as last year, the course jogs north to T onapah and back and not only does every little town it goes thru have it's own whorehouse, but the course actually goes right thru the back yards of a couple of them. It was rumored that in time for this race the Dunn/ Peralta Garment Com-pany would have it's new line of special checkered condoms avail-ab le for those interested, but problems have set back their debut. Seems that the condoms were made by the same Asian company that made their T-shirts and they suffered a similar prob-lem. Not only were they made in the smaller oriental size, but they shrunk when they got wet! Well Go ahead - admit it! You'tc thought about it many tlmcs. maybe next year guys? BAJA EXPRESS RACING TEAM By Glenn P. Wheeler With the fifth of eight-races completed, the long season and nature of our sport has begun to take its toll on most racers. The fuel problems in Mexico has added fuel to that fire. The problem was experienced by many and has yet to be completel~-resolved. The 500 in its new anu hopefully temporary location brought a very fast course for those who made the trip. Finishing in the top twenty in Class 1-2-1600 was Hayward Mendenhall and guest celebrity co-driver Vic Park. The Modern Specialist team of RalfBarwig and Dave Lotz also finished in the top twenty. Lee Patten and Ronny Wilson finished eighth to keep in You've probobly read and dreamed about, or have actually been to the legendary Baja 1000 olf-rolld race with friends, watching the tremendous action and feeling the excitement building within you. The thought crossed your mind ... just one time you'd like to take the wheel of one of these tricked-out off-rood racing vehicles and gas it...down the Baja peninsula. You'd like to be the one ... driving over Baja California's rugged terrain, over mountain ranges where you'd almost be at craw1 speed to flat-out runs across vast expanses, to the finish line at San Ignacio, official checkpoint for the PRESIDENTE/SCORE BA.IA 1000 olf-rolld race. You know you could do it, because you believe in yourself. But, like most of us, your dream fades back to reality when you try to figure out just how to go about it. Allow us to introduce you to a new concept in motorsport .. .SCORE's Baja 1000 · Endurance Safari. Briefly told, we've designed a unique event just for you -the recreational enthusiest who has not competed in any prior off· rood race. SCORE's Baja 1000 Endurance Safari, SC heduled for November 8-11, will be held in conjunction with our ' t 22nd Annual Baja 1000 off-road race. There ts one key difference however, which Is that speed is definitely not the objective, the name of this game is to finish! For ...ehicles, we're talking ··run-what•you{>rung", with the only requirements being roll bars and limited safety equip-ment. Your vehicle need not be greatly modified; it could even be your neighbor's old off-road race car which has September 1989 the hunt for the Class 5-1600 title. Norm Wilson and Sons Class 10 car broke a trans early in the race by Three Poles which ended a trouble plagued trip to San Felipe. Special thanks go to the Los Campeones and Tight Ten# 1 pit, headed by pit captain Ken Maltby, Larry Philbrook, Russ "Mr. Root", Randall Persky, and Jim Creese. These men provided .nany racers in Mexico with excellent pit support for not only their club but for many other entries in the race. Thanks for the help with our cars; it was greatly appreciated. In Barstow bad luck visited Lee Patten who battled against tough odds in just getting to the event. Lee had problems with a trans which ended his race and chances at the class points title. Ralf Barwig and Dave Lotz broke the front end and had some trouble when the air filters were torn off, but got repairs and finished 14th. In Class 1-2-1600 Wayne Collins and Packy Wheeler finished three , laps in Class 9 due to front suspension problems. Randy and Rick Wilson finished tenth in Class 10 while nursing a rough running motor. Co-driver John Miller had to get out of the car to help push it up some of the hills because the motor was loading up. Despite all this, their tenth place finish was good enough to maintain their lead in Class 10 points by a slim three point lead over Craig Watkins. The Wilsons are due to start fifth in the upcoming Nevada 500. Good Luck. Rumor has it that one of our most dedicated and well liked members, Rick Spears, is going to leave off roading to pursue other interests. Rick's contributions to our club have been great and are appreciated by all. Good luck Rick and thanks your help. - I oreo"'. ~: , • } 1 l i_ l ,,._, ♦ t 'l . . orne outdated and obs,olete and • may be patiently sitting t-t ~re waiting fOf just one (IIOl'e chance to taste the dirt! ,, es will be quite some surprising . .. .. rs.
