Under the precedent ofladies first the top photo is Bekki Freeman bounding over the rocks near the Nellis Dunes on her way to a · resounding overall victory in the SNORE Bottom Dollar eight hour enduro. Bekki had absolutely no trouble, not even a flat on her way to the winner's circle, and she was tired but gracious at the finish line after emerging from the Miraco. Photo by Carrera Photography. Ed and Tim Herbst smoked the regulars, in fact the entire field at the SCORE Parker 400. They started first, enjoyed dust free running for one lap, and pulled the Chenowth in for the overall victory by a country mile, and their younger brother Troy and Brian Collins finished second overall, frosting on the Herbst cake.

Soap Box ••• TRUCKS" a 24 hour time limit to compete in a 501 mile race, 261 miles less than Class 9? The backbone of SCORE is not· the Manufacturers Classes and • the big names, it is the independ-ents, the guys who put up their own money, and have all volunteer support teams. For many of these teams, the greatest and sometimes only satisfaction is derived from not only competing in, but finishing a race i-n spite of mechanical and race course problems. It is the perception of many of us that SCORE is not interested in us. I sure hope we are wrong. ttThe Challenger Race. Team'' December 8, 1993 Mr. Paul Fish SCORE International ' 31125 Via Colinas, Suite 908 Westlake Village, CA 91362 Dear Paul, Thanks to you and the people of SCORE for the great effort put forth for the BAJA 1000 this year. We know it must have been a herculean undertaking. There are, however, a couple of areas I would like to discuss with you. The first is the 24 hour time limit imposed for this year's race. Traditionally SCORE and other off road sanctioning bodies allow a 25 mph average in computing maximum times for races, therefore the 1000 should have had around thirty hours. In Class 9 the 24 hour limit required that racers average 31. 78 mph to finish the race within the time limit, allowing virtually no down time, which make it really tough to compete. The second item relates to closing of check points. Our car, Number 999, suffered some mechanical problems which consumed about three hours of down time, and when the car reached the Borrego check point at 0417 on November 13, it was closed. Considering the fact that Class 9 cars did not start until after 1100 on the 12th, it seems that check point closing times should have been adjusted to reflect the late starting time. Our race team consisted of more than twenty persons, including at least nine SCORE dues paying members, several of whom paid dues just to be involved in the 1000. From the sheer cost of participating in the 1000 it would seem as though Your response to these issues would be most appreciated. Sincerely, Ed McLean McLean Racing Enterprises SCORE should afford partici-cc: Danny Cau, SCORE Las pants a chance of finishing within Vegas a fair time limit. One of the main facets of off road racing, especially long distance races, is to always have a chance -breakdown repairs with super support crews has perpetually been a part of this sport. However, in both the 1000 and the 500 this year, SCORE has not afforded us that reasonable opportunity for fair competition. bee: Editor, DUSTY TIMES Hugh McLean Charlie Bignell Pail Breedlove Ralph Finisterre Don Kergil Mike Wickersham Bud Mcleroy ( Editors Note: Ed McLean enclosed a note saying that lry mid-Fehriwry they had no rej>ly from SCORE International or l'aul Fish . He figures they don't care if his team or all of Class 9 races or not!) If we are to continue pursuing off road racing in SCORE, I suggest SCORE should seriously review time constraints placed upon the traditional classes that support SCORE. The validity for this request is emphasized by the low percentage of finishers in this Volunteers are invited to climb on year's 1000 - i.e. Class 1 -10 of their "Soap Box" and fill this space 30, Class 1-211600 - 8 of 20, with their thoughts about what is Class 5 - 2 of 9, Class 5 I 1600 - 6 good and what is not so good about "of25,Class7S-2of9,Class8-3 the state of the sport.

Box 15466•Long Beach, CA 90815 (310) 598-2731 Page 4 April 1994 Trail Notes ••• THE SAN FELIPE 250 was a keen event, nice weather, a good entry, 150 cars left the line on Saturday in assorted classes, and the ambiance of old was present in the hospitality of the people in San Felipe and the relatively good manners of the spectators. The Trophy-Trucks ran on Friday morning and finished at the foot of contingency row which made it nice for those who wanted to see them. Ivan Stewart got his 6 cylinder Toyota home first ahead of the V--Bs and was just over two minutes ahead of Rob MacCachren in a refurbished Class 8 Ford, who had a broken finger. Steve Kelley, Jeep, and Larry Ragland, Chevy, had a battle for third which Kelley won by over seven minutes. Seven of the eleven starters-were official finishers, running the full course at this event. _The Saturday race belonged to Pat Dean from the git go, who won overall by 11 minutes in the Barbary Coast Class l /2 Chenowth. Ron Brant was second followed by Jason Baldwin. Scott Webster, ORBS, won Class 1-2-1600 over Michael Abatti, then Kevin Davis. Class 10 belonged to Ryan Thomas, who ran solo in his Chenowth and won by over 26 minutes from Brian Parkhouse/Willie Melancon, Mirage, and Arizonan Steve Melton was a close third in another Chenowth. George Seeley won Class 5 officially after · Michael Jakobson was penalized, and Michael James and John Cooley were a long third. Danny and Hector Ledezma took Class 5-1600 by eight minutes over Charlie Watters/ Brian Goodrich and John Brindell/Howard Hughes were a long third. Brian Stewart gave the Walker Evans/Barbary Coast team the win in his Class 8 Dodge by 14 minutes over Curt LeDuc in a Ford, and Darren Skilton was a long third in his Jeep. Luis Guevara/Federico Montes bested fellow Mexican drivers Alfonso Lacarra/ Lalo Mayoral on a penalty in Class 9 and Michael Pfankuch/Larry Kern were third. Terry Kiely/Chris Woodward were 14 minutes faster than Bill Hanson and Tony Gomez in Class 11 (running nearly the full distance), and Eric Solorzano was 11 minutes back in third. Jason Cobb and Fred Blumenthal were repeat winners from Parker in a Ford Ranger in Stock mini trucks, followed in over an hour by Brady Helm/ Pete Swift, Toyota, and Javier Sacio was hours back, but finished in his Nissan. Steve Olliges and Tim Casey, in a Ford, won the stock full size class by seconds over Rod Hall/Jim Fricker, Hummer, and Chad Hall and Kevin Horan in another Hummer. The Sportsman honors went to Ramondo Santos de! Prado and Alfredo Munoz, TUF, besting Bryan Moynahan and Brian Jeffry, Raceco, by over an hour, and they were nearly an hour up on L. Armando Avilez O /Jesus Valle in a VW Beetle. It was not surprising to see Danny Hamel and Ty Davis win the Motorcycle race overall on a Kawasaki. We'll have the full story complete with pictures next month. MICKEY THOMPSON ENTERTAINMENT GROUP held their San Diego event on the same Saturday that SCORE ran around San Felipe. Odd scheduling! Rick Johnson made it two for two main event victories in the Nelson and Nelson Chevrolet, followed in by Ivan Stewart, Toyota, and Rob MacCachren, Ford. Former buggy driver from Albuquerque Robert Gayton won the Sport Utility class in the ex Jim Smith rig he now calls a Mazda. Ken Hodgdon was second followed by reigning champion Tommy Croft, both in Jeeps. Jerry Whelchel also made it two for two main event wins in his Toyota powered Super 1600. Jimmy Nichols got his Chenowth into second followed by Cory Witherill in another Chenowth. The Nature's Recipe team swept the Superlite main event as defending champion Greg George won followed by young Casey Mears and Rennie Awana. But look out boys Stacy Fay was a strong fourth in her Briggsbuilt. Joe Byrd won the 4 Wheel A TV main in a Laeger followed by Niclas Granlund, JP and Doug Eichner, Laeger. Kyle Lewis won over a big entry in the UltraCross main event, followed by Ray Crumb and Larry Brooks, all aboard Y amahas. A full report is coming next month. FORD OFF ROAD CONTINGENCY - A recent copy of Ford Notes and Quotes announced the truck contingency program for the SCORE Desert Series. They are offering $47,950 per event in eight light truck classes for the seven event SCORE/ Tecate Trophy-Truck and Pro series. During the 1993 season, Ford competitors captured a total of 35 class victories compared to a total of 12 for all other manufacturers combined, earning six class championships and the company's ninth Heavy and Mini Metal Manufacturers titles as well. In 1994 SCORE events Ford will pay the following for finishes in eight different SCORE competition classes. In the Tecate Trophy-Trucks they offer $20,000 for first, $10,000 for second and $5,000 for third in each class, and in the Full Stock and Mini Stock classes the prizes are $500, $250 and $100. These are up for grabs at every SCORE event. It seems a lot of money for the Trophy-Trucks, whose television program has shrunk now from every race to just the last four beginning with the Baja 500 next June. THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO AT DENVER has a neat program out of the College of Engineering and Applied Science. It happens in mid-May and it is an intensive, two day engine design course entitled "How to Build Horsepower". The first day will cover induction and exhaust pressure wave tuning and the second day will be devoted to nitrous oxide injection. The program will feature David Vizard, international automotive journalist and engine builder. He has over 30 years of championship winning experience in building high performance engines for all types of racing including road racing, circle track and drag racing. He is also the author of over 3,000 magazine articles and 25 books on engine building and design. The first two day course conducted by Vizard had over 90 participants from six different states in attendance and was a tremendous success. Presently the course is scheduled for May 19-20, and for detailed course brochure, program costs, and registration information, contact Arne Arnesen, Director, Continuing Engineering Education at the college at (303) 556-4907 or fax (303) 556-2511. THE OFF ROAD POKER RUN BY HI-DESERT CHARITIES is coming soon on April 30 and May 1, with all proceeds going to help Barstow charities. Promoted by Mal and Connie Wessel, the originator!!_ of the concept in Barstow, the event is co-sponsored by the Bureau of Land Management, La Rana Desert Racing, BFGoodrich and AXO Sport. This is a fun two days, and you can enter one day or both days as prizes are awarded for the two separate events. As always the Slash X Cafe is a host and anybody can enter. Unlicensed vehicles driven by a California resident must have a Green Sticker, approved spark arrestor or muffler, etc. This run is a lot of fun with the best Poker hand from the checkpoints on the 30 mile loop the winner each day. They get hundreds of participants and there are always plenty of goodies to go around. Check the ad on page 39 for details and how to enter. Dusty nmcs

BUMP - Bob Utgard Motorsport Productions out of Lancaster, CA has apparently thrown in the towel for the 1994 season. BUMP had a fairly successful meet at the Antelope Valley Fair last year. they announced a fairly ambitious multi race schedule for 1994 some time ago, but a note from Bob Utgard announced that the series, scheduled to begin on May 14 had officially been scrapped for the 1994 season. Utgard said "We could say this decision is due to problems in securing contracts or available dates, or the fact that BUMP could not secure a four race television package, but that is simply not the case. The facts are, quality racing promotions cost money, no matter which side of the steering wheel you're on. This cancellation is especially difficult for BUMP as we have always taken pride in our tenacity to complete a project no matter what the final outcome. We will no longer promote events without the financial support necessary to do so." "Many thanks are in order for those Manufacturers, Competitors, Sanctioning Bodies, Friends, Family and Supporters who have seen fit over the years to back whatever ideas BUMP has brought to the sport. I especially want to thank the Fairgrounds in the Antele>pe Valley, San Jose and Tulare as well as Mr. Don Schumaker and the City of Temecula and Jerry Garrett of Arrow Productions, for their gracious support and understanding of the program we were trying to build. My appologies to the many race teams that supported our past events and made the commitment to support our series. Your support and the support of those friends who made it all happen is what made it all worthwhile. Thanks to all for being there. Hopefully, through a combined effort of the racing community, we will be able to make this short course series a reality during the 1995 season." We are sorry to hear the sad news, but it appears that most potential sponsors for such a series are moving their budgets to the midwest these days, and in southern California there do not seem to be many going into short course racing. Ventura Raceway cancelled their program this year leaving the MTEG Glen Helen Series to stand alone in this area. SPONSOR SEARCH-The following is typical of the ambitious racer who wants to move up in the world. Shaun Lee raced with SCORE/HDRA from 1988 through 1991 in Classes 5-1600, 9 and 10. Then he started racing go-karts on the IKF South West Pro Circuit and did some winning, got a championship, then in June 1993 he went to the Russell Drivers. School at Laguna Seca Raceway where he was the top of his two classes, and went on to do well in the Formula Mazda Racing Series. In December 1993 he tested for Sports Car Ltd. in a Dodge Shelby Can Am Car at Phoenix International equaling last year's pole time in the first day at the track. They quickly signed him to drive the entire 1994 season. In January 1994 he tested for Dave White Motorsports in a 1993 Toyota Atlantic Ralt Car at Phoenix International, Willow Springs and Laguna Seca Raceway posting competitiive times and he qualified for a FIA license. Dave White Motorsports signed him to run three races including the Long Beach Grand Prix, depending on sponsorship. Shuan said "I have everything in place for 1994 and need only a little more exposure to secure a major sponsor. If you could print a write up on me in Dusty Times I would appreciate it. It has taken a lot of hard work to get this far but I couldn't have done it without the help of friends and family." Well here is our news on you Shaun Lee, and as a former fellow pit club member in CORE and Granada Hills resident, we are printing your address in case anyone is interested who reads this column. 125 El Oro Way, Granada Hills, CA 91344. Good luck on you sponsorship hunt. THE MICKEY THOMPSON ENTERTAINMENT GROUP recently announced the appointment of Jim White as the company's new Director of Racing. White, 32, a resident of Yorba Linda, will head up the Anaheim based motorsports company's efforts toward improving the communications flow between itself, its competitors, sponsors and teams. "I feel very good about the fact we now have Jim on staff on a full time bassis," said MTEG President Gary Campbell. "We're confident he's more than capable of handling all the responsibilities associated with the position." No stranger to the stadium racing community, White is a former ATV Class Champion, and still holds the record for all time main event wins in that class. Additionally he has been a member of MTEG's Rough Driving Committee, ( which polices activities on the race track) since 1989, holding the Chairman position for the past two seasons. As Director of Racing Jim will report directly to Ric Miller, vice-president of operations. His primary responsibility will be to improve communications between MTEG and its competitors, establishing himself as a liaison between them, the teams and sponsors. He will also be assuming the responsibilities of Chief Steward. This full time position will encompass the responsibility for timing and scoring, course safety, rules, technical inspection, pit operation, pageantry coordination, rough driving committee and entry/ registration. Formerly an Account Executive with Dico Tire Company White started his new position January 31. Well Jim we don't know whether to congratulate you for taking over all those jobs or send along condolences. It should be busy out there for you race day.

It was a definite disappointment to those folks who like the chance to see the high powered trucks close up. Thir-teen trucks raced in the inaugural Trophy Truck event, and their numbers came mostly from Class 1, but three of them had moved over from Class 8, and one each came from Class 6 and Class 7 ranks. The motorcycles and ATVs started at dawn, and completed their two lap event as the Pro and Sportsman classes of cars and trucks, which started at approxi-mately 11:30, charged out into · their first lap. There were 28 Pro class bikes and ATVs and five in the new Sportsman class. In the Pro cars and trucks there were 148 starters, and the Sportsman classes attracted six contestants. The Unlimited class took the green flag first, and when they'd completed their first lap the Herbst brothers were still in front, where they'd started. And they had the lead, with a minute and 13 seconds on Pat Dean, in his Porsche Chenowth. In third it was Jason Baldwin in his Porsche Chenowth, followed by Gary Hymes in a Porsche Raceco, just seven seconds later. Troy Herbst, in his single seat Porsche Chenowth, was fifth.

Tom Schilling and John Marking had problems in the dust, but carried on and put the VW powered Jimco home third in Class 1 O and 11th overall. Jim Pierce and Jim Kirk kept some of the Class 10 money in Arizona, taking a fourth place home to Buckeye, 12 overall in the" race in the Toyota/Raceco. Michael James and John Cooley showed off a brand new Class 5 Baja Bug, and despite mysterious electrical trouble they finished a fine second in class. / I@' speed was 34 .896 miles per hour for this event. In Class 7 there was only one entrant, the Ford Ranger of Gary Mecham and Larry Watson, and they weren't able to get through the first lap, apparently due to a burned up wiring harness. In Class 5, Mike Grabowski put his convertible into the lead, but he had only a minute and 37 seconds on Mike Jakobson and Dave Snoddy who ran second. In third it was George Seeley, another four minutes back, followed by Conrad Diaz, less than three minutes ·behind him. Grabowski held his lead through lap two, now 13 minutes up on Jakobson and Snoddy. Diaz had moved up to third, while Michael James and John Cooley, in James' : new car, were now fourth.

His brother, Neal, took over for the last lap, and his luck held, although he claims there should have been some flats, there were none, and they got to the finish line first. (Mike claims their good record at Parker has to do with.the fact that his two year old son is named Parker. He's thinking of having a child called "San Felipe", etc.) Cooley and James, who had some mysterious electrical troubles that turned off their lights for a while, finished second, a nice start for a brand new cat. In third it was Diaz, who'd had four flats on the last lap, and he was followed in by Seeley, who'd lost about 40 minutes on the second lap with a timing problem and a leaky c. v. boot. Scott and Mike McKinney studied the financial picture, moved the Jeep into Pro Class 6 and won the two car class handily and got $1,500 bonus bucks too. In Class 1,2,1600 Danny Porter and Mark Ruddis were the hit of contingency row, with a paint job that brought people to a dead stop. The hood was painted to look as if Old Glory had been caught on it, and shreds and tatters of the flag fluttered back along the side panels. It seemed a waste to take it out into the desert to be sandblasted. But Porter and Rudd is ignored their beautiful paint job, leaned hard on the throttle, and put the car into the lead. They had about a minute and a half on Tom and Frank Rusich, in a Chenowth, who were second, followed by Rob Nolin, in his 1982 ORC. In fourth it was Kevin Davis, in a Lothringer, followed by Brad Maurer, in a Chenowth, only five minutes behind the lead car. Porter and Ruddis had built their lead to about three minutes ~ Dick Sasser and Genaro Curiel won Class 3 with one lap in the IH Scout that is really too well restored to bang it up racing off road. Neal and Michael Grabowski have been doing very well in Class 5 lately, and they have the Bug fine tuned to the SCORE type courses. This time they not only won the class, they were 15th 0/A, winning by almost an hour. April 1994 at the end of the second lap, and now Nolin, and his co,driver, Todd Teuscher, were second, three minutes behind them. In third it was Davis, another 10 minutes back. The Rusich team had dropped to fourth, and Maurer was still fifth. On the last lap Porter and Ruddis holed their transmission case, and the fluid leaked away. While their crew did a hasty transmission change, Teuscher moved to the front. He and Nolin were first to the checkered flag, taking the win by about seven minutes. Kevin Davis, whose crew had lost track of Teuscher and Nolin, finished second, very disappointed to see another car already in the impound area. In third it was the Rusich brothers, who'd bought their car just three weeks previously, and declared they'd had an "awesome" day. Fourth place went to Mike Kalicki,John Holmes and Ramsey . El Wardani, in a Raceco, who'd had a flat and some power steering problems along the way. Sam Castro and Jim Fishback Sr., in a Neth, moved up to finish fifth. Class 7S went out into the Arizona desert next, and at the end of their first lap it was Jeff Lewis, in the Chevrolet, in the lead, by 13 minutes. In second it was Jason Cobb in the Ford Ranger that used to be driven by Willie Valdez. Javier Sacio was third in his Nissan, just two and~ half minutes later, followed by Billy Bunch and Curt LeDuc in their Ford, in fourth place. Lewis held his lead through lap two, and he had 29 minutes on Cobb, an old motorcycle racer, who was still in second. Joel Stankavich and Sam Goldsmith ran third now, in their Ford, and Darren York and his Ford had moved into fourth, even though he'd been running on-three cylinders since Mile 20. Lewis continued to lead, and at Mile 90 of the third lap had a lead of an hour. But somewhere Dusty Times

Kevin Davis and his crew Jost track of the leader, relaxed and lost. Davis ended up second in Class 1-2-1600 in the Lothringer, about 13 minutes back. Tom and Frank Rusich slide their handsome Chenowth past the big rocks, and their three week old car carried them to third in Class 1-2-1600, a good day. Rob Nolin and Todd Teuscher are quick, honing their ORC well at FRT races, and by the second lap in the 18 car Class 1-2-1600 they worked into second and passed the leader in the washes and won the class by about seven minutes. between there and Mile 113 he lost an oil pump belt, and seized his motor. Cobb had become ill, and had handed over to Todd Gatrell, whose Class 3 Blazer had expired early in the day. Gatrell concentrated on bringing the truck to the finish line, which he did, to get the win. Stankavich and Goldsmith finished second, glad to do that well after stopping to put oil into a leaky third member at every pit. In third it was York, and Bunch and LeDuc were fourth. Class 5-1600 had a relatively small entry for this race, which usually attracts them in bigger --numbers. The first lap leader was Brian Goodrich, with only nine seconds on Carlos and Gerardo lribe. In third it was Jim McGill and Brian Logan, 48 seconds later, followed by Lee Patten and Greg Burgin, seven seconds behind them. Guillermo Quin-tero and Francisco Ortiz ran fifth, a minute and a halflater. Goodrich continued to lead, and gave the car to his co-driver, Charlie Watters, halfway through lap two. They stayed in front, but now McGill and Logan ran second, 51 seconds behind them. In third it was Iribe, whose 17 year old son, Gerardo, riding along, also does the race prep on the car. Frank Omboli and Jimmy Enders ran fourth now, and Patten and Burgin had dropped'to fifth, after a rollover, but were only 13 minutes off the pace. Watters took a bad line in Osborne Wash and McGill and Logan got past him. He struggled to get back to the front, and made it, coming to the finish l,ine first.

Marty Seefried and Dick Locke were fourth, in spite of some fuel pump problems, and Danny and Hector Ledezma finished fifth, after losing over two hours on their first lap. In Class 9, the Homemade Chassis of Rick Poole and Michael Faulkner went into the lead, with a minute and 45 seconds on David Callaway and John Holmes in their Challenger. In third it was Chick and Wendy Martin, in a Homebuilt chassis, followed by Darnen and Casey Jeffries in their Jimco. Poole and Faulkner built their lead to 50 minutes by the end of the second lap, and now it was A.J. and Herman DeNunzio, who had rolled over, in second place. The Martins were third, and the Jeffries team held on to fourth place. Faulkner and Poole had no problems, no flats, and never had to get out of their car. They took the win by some 28 minutes. The DeNunzios were second, a little surprised at finishing so well, and the Jeffries team finished third. In fourth, and last of the class to make it to the finish, were the Martins. Class 11 was required to run only two laps for this event, and Bill Hanson put his '71 sedan into the lead, with 12 minutes on the second place car. That was Josh Rosenstein, in another '71, and he was an hour and 20 minutes in front of Eric Solorzano who'd lost a c.v. joint. Hanson's co-driver ,·Tony Gomez, drove the second lap, and he reported being stuck once and hit by other cars twice. They kept moving forward, and _ took the win.

It was Ford day in Class 7S as Joel Stankavich and Sam Goldsmith stopped often for rear end oil, but still got their Ranger home second in Class 7S. Lee Patten and Greg Burgin were in the tight running lead pack all the way. They drove the clean looking Baja Bug to second in Class 5-1600, after a rollover.

In Sportsman Class 9 Joe Bogart and Barry Blanchard fly their T-Mag over a dusty lump on their way to a strong finish, right behind the winning Class 10 Sportsman. they had no mechanical problems at all. And it was a good thing, because Kim Peterson and Joe Key, in a Jimco, who had one flat tire, finished only three minutes· behind them. The Competition Review Board called off the scheduled meeting the next morning because there were no items on the agenda. Whether that means that · people have stopped running into each ~ther1 or they have decided not to complain, will probably never be known. Maybe they didn't want to get up so early in the morning. At any rate, except for the technical disqualification in the Stock Full class, all the results stood firm. In the stock mini truck class, which really needs a good name, they also ran just two laps. Scott Sells and Berry Buckelew led the first lap in a Toyota pitted for electrical repair, and still won the class by 29 minutes. Chad Hall catches a little air in his Hummer, and he went on to victory in the Full Size Stock class, but later the whole class was DQ'd on a technical hassle. Stan Ragsdale made his debut at age 15 & change in Sports Class 10 and he drove the Chenowth to the win in class, a quick Sportsman time of 11 :07:37.

Simon Wins First Round Of The SCORE T~ophy Trucks At Parker By Judy S1J1ith Paul Simon parlayed the luck of the draw into a strong first lap lead and then went on to take the premier event in the new SCORE Trophy Truck series at Parker, by seven minutes and 20 seconds. Starting position was determined by a drawing, and Simon and his Ford truck took full advantage, heading out into the low morning sun with no dust to blind him. His competitors, starting behind him at nyo minute intervals, fumbled their way through hanging qust, blinded by the sun's refraction. There were 13 of the exotic vehicles for this first of seven races, each vying for a trophy and series points only. At the end of the season, like the elusive pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, there will be a points fund of somewhere between $13,000 and $100,000 to be distributed in amounts determined by the number of entries in each event. In any case, the winner will walk iway with $50,000 at the end of the year. Ordinarily, SCORE plans to run the Trophy Trucks on th~ · same day as their Pro and Sportsman Classes, but a conflict with the MTEG short course event at Anaheim Stadium caused them to bump this race back to the Thursday morning before the · regular race. (Then fate stepped in, in the form of the Northridge earthquake, and damaged the stadium causing postponement of that race until February.) The big trucks ran on a shortened version of the Parker course, with a 70 mile loop that gave them a total of about 210 miles for their three laps. They were each required to make at least one pit stop, at which it was mandatory that they change two tires, and take on fuel. There were some very complex rules about how many pit people could go "over the wall" to work on the vehicle and there were "Pit Marshalls" keeping track. There could be two people to handle the fueling, two for the tires, and one with a fire extinguisher. If some other kind of work was required it all got very complicated, and time penalties would be assessed if too many pit members hopped over the wail to work on the car. There was a 35 mile per hour maximum speed limit on pit row, which was to be strictly enforced, so, while the pit work could be fun to watch, if a spectator craved speed, he needed to be some-where else. And those who were somewhere else reported that it was great fun watching the high Dusty Times dollar trucks handle the turns and moguls, but there was no close competition, and in fact, only one vehicle passed another while moving during the race. The consensus after the race seemed to be that a mass start, of the sort used at the SODA series events in the midwest, would make the events more fun to watch and would eliminate the edge that goes with the number one start position. Simon had three minutes and 41 seconds at the end of that first lap, and Larry Ragland had his Chevrolet in second place. He was up just 11 seconds on Rob MacCachren and his Ford. Four drivers were already having major problems, which put them out of contention. Jimmy Smith's Ford had taken a flying leap into the rocks when he was blinded by the dust, and had poked a hole in his transmission case, flattened two tires, and his steering wheel had come off. Danny Letner's Chevy lost its motor, and Tom Baker, co-driving with Bob Richey, had a serious valve train problem, and got their Ford stuck to boot. Robby Gordon, in Frank Vessels' Ford, got to the pit in fairly quick time, but then sat there for 15 minutes while his crew replaced a missing float bowl bolt in the carburetor. Simon maintained his lead· through the second lap and had four minutes and 43 seconds on MacCachren at the end of that lap. He made a smart move and put on new tires that time also, while MacCachren's crew, trying to save time, decided his would go the distance. Ragland was only a minute and 22 seconds behind Rob at that point. In the meantime, Gordon had broken a lower track rod, and was finished, while Ivan Stewart, in hi-s new Toyota, had broken an upper A-arm, and later, an axle. Smith was running again, an hour and a half down. Simon and his brother, Dave, had decided that a driver change ' in this race could cost a victory. So, although they told anyone who asked before the race that they would change drivers because it was always their strategy to have a fresh driver for the second half of a race, Dave sat this one out. Paul ran at an average speed of 5 7 .063 for the full distance, and, with no problems at all, fresh and unfatigued after his 210 mile sprint, he got to the finish line first. He said that he'd run dust free all the way. He also Photos: Trackside Photo Inc. said, when asked his feelings about the Trophy Truck series, that this" is a whole different kind of race -but it's the kind of racin' we like." N!,acCachren pushed hard to stay in front of Ragland on his last lap, and he hit something and flattened a tire. He enlisted spectator help to make a quick change, and went on, but a few miles before the finish he flattened his left" rear on a rock, and just drove to the finish on it, or more precisely, on its remnants. He was second, seven , minutes behind Simon, and thought that maybe he should have taken on new tires the last time through his pit. Of the Trophy Trucks, "This is racing. You go as fast as you can go -you 're drivin' more sideways than straight. It's a lot of fun." Ragland wasn't having as much fun, having lost a torque convertor about 25 miles before the finish. Steve Kelley brought his four wheel drive Jeep Cherokee to the finish line third, saying that the dust was so bad he hadn't been able to see a thing the whole first lap. But in the next breath, of Trophy Truck racing, he said, "I'd rather race the whole field. I enjoy passing." John Swift was the fourth to finish in his Class 6 two-wheel drive V6 powered Ford Explorer. He had no problems, said, "It was fun. It'll be better when I can race", referring to his new Ranger, already under construc-tion for this series. The fast lap for the day, on the long loop including the part from the start out to the course, belonged to Simon at 1: 16:41, and he also recorded the fast time for the shorter middle loop at 1:09:13. MacCachren was within 51 seconds of his time on that middle loop,. but the first un-dusty lap had been a terrific help to Simon. According to the Trophy Truck rules, he will not be allowed to draw the number one start position in the event following the one in which he started first. In general, the racers thought it was a lot of fun, but spectators were disappointed that the trucks were so far apart out on the course. The pits were also far apart, so that someone watching the activities in one pit could not tell what was happening in another. But then, they were organized to look good on television. · SCORE's results booklet, sent out a few days after the event, April 1994 Paul Simon started first in his Ford, stayed in front through the pit stop that is mandatory, and won the first race for the exotics by seven minutes to take the trophy that will be worth money at season's end. Rob MacCachren drove his refurbished and somewhat lightened Class 8 Ford to an impressive second place in the 13 car field of special built vehicles. made an effort to explain the Trophy Truck concept. It states, in part, "For years competitors have been asking for a separate truck class just for factory race teams and those drivers who think they can run out front and · beat the factories. Meanwhile, SCORE competitors racing in Classes 1 and 8 where most of the factory teams have been register-ed, have frequently complained about the "unfair advantage" taken by some of the factory teams with their vast resources in head-to-head duels with "grass roots" racers in those classes. As a result, SCORE has created the SCORE Tecate Trophy Truck Class, effectively segregating factory teams from the rest of our competitors." The booklet goes on to ask what SCORE has achieved by creating Trophy Trucks, and answers, among other things, "SAFETY. Often there is a huge speed differential between these vehicles and the other entrants. By separating Trophy Trucks from slower vehicles, we can cut down on the hazards associated with mixing them together in the same classes." In light of this, it was interesting to note that Danny Letner, Jim Smith, Robby Gordon and Tom Baker (Bob Richey's co-driver) had all entered the regular Parker 400 event, in Class 2 on Saturday, planning to run their trucks without their outer skins. Gordon and Smith were able to actually start, and while neither managed to finish, it must have been a big disappointment to some of. the run of the mill Class I cars to find them lined up in staging in the morning. That kind of double entry will presumably not be possible when the Trophy Trucks run on the same day as the rest of the racers.

MAHOMEY'S SILVER NUGGET SNORE BOTrOM DOLLAR Bekki Freeman Wins The 8 Houro Enduro In A Solo Drive! ·13y Jean Qzlvin It was a most popular victory when Bekki Freeman claimed first in Class 1-2-1600 and first overall in 7:43:23, and she whipped a very talented field of drivers, most of whom had trouble.

The congestion was due mainly to construction as the Silver Nugget is doubling its size with an all new building going up to attach to the original one. The casino also hosted a dandy awards breakfast Sunday morning for all survivors, drivers, pit crews and their families. It was nice to enjoy such great hospitality. The course held some familiar trails and some new runs, a few fast, but most got rougher as the day· went on, especially in the dune sand areas. Pit pundits were estimating the top cars would cover at least a dozen laps of the 30 odd mile course, possibly 13 in the eight hour time limit, and we won a buck or two betting that a 1-2-1600 car would win it. It did! The course doubled back on itself twice, all contained in a small area, so access was good in most' spots for pit crew rescues that might be needed. Despite all the sand there were still the eternal southern Nevada rocks, and, of course, a couple of access roads that were absolutely taboo; use of which called for instant disqual-ification.

J.C.

The 15 Class 1-2-1600 cars charged off down the hill and into the tight canyon and it seemed as if they were all in one dust cloud. After they cleared the start, ten Class 9 cars were next away, also staying very close together. Finally the three Heavy Metal trucks were followed into the dust by the seven Sportsman buggies and trucks. A former SCORE championship team Mike Spina and Keith Under-wood showed up in this class, hardly entry level drivers, ·but true· sportsmen. THE BEST IN THE DESERT A powerhouse team of drivers headed by Larry Job and Rob MacCachren aimed to win the race but starting tossing belts early, and finally the ring and pinion failed on lap 11. It was no surprise to see Larry Job come around first on the initial lap with J.C. Dean a minute back, but then there was quite a gap until the 1600s buzzed by in swarms, each pack a couple of minutes apart. A portent of things to come, Mike Spina was the 15th car around on the first lap starting nearly dead last. Bill Dickton made a quick pit stop with his Dodge full size truck. Bill Witt stopped for a fix, and came back before starting the next lap. On time Kenny Freeman led the class with his. sister Bekki just eight -seconds behind him. Larry Job was the first lap overall leader. The Class 9s came by in a tight Page IO April 1994 Dusty nmcs

Billy Bryan and Les Carter started out with a long lap, laid the car on its side once, but came back fighting, finishing sixth in Class 1-2-1600. Josh and Justin Baldwin had a great day, giving rides to the crew in Josh's 1-2-1600, raced hard too, and they had troubles but finished seventh in class. pac:k with Jeff Carr leading the . parade on the road but the Andrew Lindquist/Warren Messick team was ahead a few ticks on elapsed time. There were a couple retirements on the first lap. The 1600 team of Darryl Gibson, Harry Dunne and Skip Kawell were out for good with a broken torsion adjuster. The Unlimited car of the Simonsens had over a tw9 hour first lap with a broken torsion adjuster, but they got it fixed and did five more laps in the 40s before time ran out on them. Larry Job was first around on lap 2 with another 35 minute round, with J.C. Dean still shadowing him, also with a 35 minute lap, but Job still led overall on time. Four minutes later Bekki Freeman zipped past with her brother still chasing her as were the Kevin Ruesch team and the Baldwin group who pitted. Baldwin had a five person group, so they changed co~drivers often, but we think just Josh, and later Justin did most of the driving. Going fast also the 1600 of Danny Anderson, Mike Dixon and Tom Bunty had a quick pit stop as at this point many teams were trying to get a reading on fuel consumption. Mike Spina finish~ ed his second lap in the Sports~ man car about five minutes behind Dixon and his team was well in command with a 39 and a 40 for two lap times. Mike Spina, Keith Underwood, with Noel Wytko and Bill Keena, whomped the other Sportsman by three laps, covering 11 rounds to not only win the class but they finished sixth overall in grand style. The closest finish you could have came in Class 9 action and the boys from Barstow, Andrew Lindquist and Warren Messick won the class by a single second of time, after seven hours and 54 minutes of racing. The Class 3 truck of Scott Bassett made another pit stop, although the lap times were good, 44 and 43, trouble struck soon after on the third lap. Warren Messick was flying in the Lindquist Class 9, first on the road and on time, but both Jeff Carr and Kent Lothringer in the Griepentrog car were less than a minute back. After three laps J.C. Dean still · led Larry Job by inches on the road and they were close to even on elapsed time. Bekki Freeman maintained first on the road in 1600 class with brother Kenny hot on her tail pipe as ~as I)anny Anderson's bunch and Bill and Hal Witt. It was a tight race here down through the ranks. Josh Baldwin pitted and brother Justin took over driving with Reggie Dunlap and they gassed the car and fussed with it a bit while stopped. Meanwhile Spina brought the Sportsman buggy to the pit, got out and Keith Underwood got in, and they did it all in a couple of NASCAR minutes. Jeff and David Carr also pitted in Class 9, a quick stop, and J.C. Dean came in for gas and a check, and his gas man was Class 1 racer Brian Collins. Neat the way these things work in SNORE racing. It was now about two hours into the race and next to pit for gas was Larry Job as a horde of 1600s went past. Baldwin called for help on the radio, having trans troubles, so locals gave directions, and the crew made a field fix, not losing a great deal of time. Ed and Dennis Looney and Matt Cunningham had been in the pits since the first lap, and just before noon they crossed the start/ finish to get their lap and then they retired the car. Among the missing was the older, short wheelbase car of Hank Pehuaga and team, and Frank and Bobby Baird, both in Class 9, and Brian Fieger's Class 9 would succumb It was California day as Gene Griepentrog, Kent Lothringer and Kevin Streety were the close second place finishers in Class 9, having had a visual race with the eventual winners all day long.

61nd RALLYE MONTE CARLO Francois Dclccour Wins In A Ford RS Cosworth Text & Plwtos: Martin Holmes Francois Delecour and Daniel Grataloup brought Ford its first Monte Carlo win in 41 years driving the Escort RS Cosworth on the slushy pavement without a problem and they won by a big margin of 1m, 5s., a big margin on this rally. After 41 years Ford has won the Monte Carlo again. Hopes that Didier Auriol, Delecour's only effective opponent, would gain his hat trick here at Monte . Carlo, like he previously gained in Corsica, were dashed when he crashed and Delecour command-ed the event without difficulty. Ford had a clean sweep in Group N as well. Mitsubishi were the surprise of the rally, collectively winning more fastest stage times than any other team. Subaru edged into their new life with Pirelli, with one spectacular stage result on the third day, while Toyota, after Auriol retired, concentrated on gaining points for their second place. Six manufacturers had nomin-_:ited entries, Toyota, Ford and Subaru plus Mitsubishi who are doing selected events this year, and the two teams active in the two-wheel drive Formula 2 movement, Renault and Skoda, even though this rally did not qualify for the series under the rotation system. Rover embarked on a remarkable retro promotion; they re-homologated the Mini Cooper so that 1964 winner Paddy Hopkirk and 1965 winner Timo Makinen could relive their moments of glory. Their cars were remarkably similar to those driven 30 years ago. The only major improvements are to the gearbox and brakes, while current minimum weight and fuel injection rules served as a disadvantage. There were few major driver changes. Carlos Sainz left Lancia/Jolly Club and moved to Prodrive and the Subaru lmpreza 555, while a successful season in Formula 2 last year earned Belgian driver Bruno Thiry a semi-regular position in the Ford team. Ford got most of the technical attention, deciding not to use their sequential transmission system but intending to use 18 inch diameter wheels, the · first time such large wheels have been used in World Championship events, and massive brakes with one piece calipers made from The first Group N was eighth overall driven by Pierre Manuel Jenot and 'Slo', and it was also a Ford Escort RS Cosworth scoring the Group N victory. 62nd Rallye Monte Carlo Francois Del8COUr/Danlel Grataloup F Ford Escort RS Cosworth A· 6:12:20 Juha Kankkunen/Nicky Grist SF/GB Toyota Calica Turbo 4WD A 6 :13:25 Carlos Sainz/Luis Moya E Subaru lmpreza 555 A 6 :14:07 Miki Biaslon/Tlzlano Slvlero I Ford Escort RS Cosworth A 6 :16:56 Kenneth Eriksson/Stefan Parmander S Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution A 6 : 19 :1 7 Bruno Thiry/Stephane Prevot B Ford Escort RS Cosworth A " 6 :19:18 Armin Schwarz/Klaus Wiehe D Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution A 6 :29:19 Pierre-Manuel JenotrSlo' F Ford Escort RS Cosworth N • 6:49:16 Jesus Puras/Alex Romani E Ford Escort RS Cosworth N 6 :53:49 Colin McRae/Derek Ringer G3 Subaru lmpreza 555 A 7:01 :30 Jean Ragnottl/Gllles Thlmonler(13th) F Renault Clio WIiiiams A· ·1:03:46 Isolde Holderied/Tlna Thorner(15th) D/S Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution N# 7:15:51 186 starters - 94 finishers - •Group Winner •• F2 winner - # Ladles winner Winner's average speed over stages 94.83 kph World Championship Points - Ford 20, Toyota 17, Subaru 14, Mitsubishi 10 WRC Drivers Points - Delecour 20, Kankkunen 15, Sainz 12, Biaslon 1 0, Group N Points-Jeno! 13, Puras 1 o, Phillips & Mercier 7, Holderled 5.

Toyota offered traction control facilities to drivers if they wished to use it on particularly slippery stages and this year marks the return of Pirelli to World Championship rallying on the Subarus. The rally format changed little. A post recession record number of entries, 194, were received. The novelty was that the rally stayed two nights at Valence in the Rhone Valley. The excep-tionally heavy crowds last year persuaded the organizers to run all the special stages during week-days, half of them at night. So although the Concentration runs began Saturday evening, no real news was expected until Monday. The organizers had stages in Grenoble and Chambery regions with hopes of snow, and it came before the rally, hampering the reconnaissance runs as some of the stage!i were blocked. The final stage, 23, was canceled com-pletely because of a landslide. As is tradition, the rally started from six different towns, but the special stages only began on the Monday with the finish on the seafront at Monte Carlo on Thursday. The British reworked the 1964 Mini Cooper for winner Paddy Hopkirk and Ron Crellin to make a nostalgia trip, and also one for 1965 winner Timo Makinen, who did not finish, but Hopkirk did, second in Mini class behind privateer Phillippe Camandona in the third Mini. atter the earlier incident.

The conditions caught out Q1any drivers. Spectators in the road on stage 3 caused Kank-kunen to swerve into a snow bank in top gear, but on the same stage a most curious incident came when both Schwarz and Colin McRae went off the road at the same place, apparently it had been dry but spectators had shoveled snow on the racing line. Schwarz explained, "There was a long left hand corner round a wall and · suddenly a lot of snow on the road. We had no chance to stay on the road." McRae went off at the same place but not so far, still . it took longer for his car to be recovered. McRae: "To get the car back on the road we had first to push it into the spot where Armin Schwarz's car had been", apparently with scant help from spectators.

Juha Kankkunen and Nicky Grist were a strong second in the Toyota and Juha freely admits he is not a pavement racer, and this was a great result for him. Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya were third in their debut with Subaru, the 555 on the lmpreza taped over because of French rules against cigarette advertising. Kenneth Eriksson and Staffan Parmander turned some fast stage times in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, but going off the road once dropped them to fifth. minute behind! The two Ren-aults, running without team orders fitted studded winter tires and both crashed. Oreille went head-on into a telegraph pole and retired, Ragnotti pulled a front wheel off his car, finishing the stage on three wheels and lost 20 minutes, then more time at the ensuing service point. Both Minis were still going; Camandona was 46th and Hopkirk 51 st. Both suffered exhaust and electrical troubles. Hopkirk said "The big difference between now and '64? The service vans! In our BMC days we were the only ones with vans!" McRae was up to 14th overall, on every stage today he was faster than Sainz. "I can't say if the problem is the car or me at the moment!" In 65th place was a special celebrity driver Stephen Roche, the Irish cyclist who won the Tour de France in 1987, driving a SEAT. "I am amazed the French people still remember me and have been waiting to cheer me on." It is different driving a car! After the four stages today Delecour went into the famous final night with a 93 second lead, mindful that last year he had led at this moment with a 71 second advantage and his arch-rival Auriol then took 78 seconds off him! His team knew that they have twice led this rally at this moment in the last three years, only to lose eventually. But this year Delecour seemed happier, Auriol having retired two days ago, and neither Kankkunen or Sainz showing signs of the speed which they would need for a last moment victory·dash. On the final Etape Delecour held his lead to the end without problems. Sainz went better, but not good enough to catch Kankkunen, after the team changed the central differential, which had been set too sensitive. Schwarz was exhausted after brake problems. "The pedal was so hard that I had to stand on my seat to get the car to stop." Isolde Holderied and Tina Thorner drive the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution off the start ramp en route to a fine 15th overall despite some woes, and they also won the ladies prize and points. On the slippery and ice covered pavement the first 2wo·was the Renault Clio Williams of Jean Ragnotti and Gilles Thimonier, who gained valuable points toward the Formula 2 (2WD) title. Dusty nmcs Witnesses said the brake discs were yellow. Group N was.won by Pierre-Manuel Jenot's Ford, a success followed by friends in Monte Carlo where, in private life, he works as a taxi driver! Second was former Spanish champion Jesus Puras, whose troubles were all on the first day when he lost four minutes off the road. Maurizio Verini momen-tarily brought his rented Lancia into the top ten, the 197 5 European Champion on his annual return to the sport; it was also the only time people spoke this year about the Lancia cars at all! The two Skodas finished, Berger after driving five stages without second gear.

Neither Mini finished the loop. Hopkirk had alternator failure and Camandona suffered a broken lead to the fuel pump. Both officially qualified as finishers, however. The main object of the exercise was achieved. Of the 186 starters, 116 were listed as finishers, although just 94 completed the route. Up front Francois Delecour and Daniel Grataloup got the Ford Escort RS Cosworth home a minute and five seconds faster than the current World Champ-ion Juha Kankkunen with Nicky Grist in the Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD. Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya were third in the Subaru Impreza 555, 42 seconds further back followed by Miki Biasion and Tiziano Siviero in the second Ford, almost three minutes behind the Subaru. Kenneth Eriksson and Stafan Parmander were a couple more minutes down in the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolu-tion, but just one second ahead of first time four wheeler Bruno Thiry with Stephane Prevot in the third Escort. Formula 2 honors went to Jean Ragnotti and Gilles Thimonier in the Renault Clio Williams at 13th overall in a Group A car and Isolde Holderied . and Tina Thorner were 15th overall in the Group N Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, naturally taking the Ladies Cup.

Ivan Stewart, rig(1t flies higher than teammate Rod Millen, left, and Ivan won the first heat and took second in the next one, but dropped back in the main. Although he had problems in the Sport Truck heat races, Ricky Johnson took command of the main event in his Chevy and led from green to checkered flag, finishing with a wide victory margin. Stadium Off-Road Racing fans filled Anaheim Stadium to its capacity for the Mickey Thomp-son Stadium Off-Road Racing season opener. And those in attendance saw Rick Johnson, Tommy Croft, Jerry Whelchel, Rennie Awana, Joe Byrd and Larry Brooks top each of their respective classes. The event had been postponed due to the recent earthquake which had done structural damage to the stadium. The earthquake must have taken some of the jitters away from the drivers as the event did go rather smoothly. Usually the first event of the season has a tendency to be a real slug fest. A few penalties were given but no restarts were needed all night. The new year had brought about little change. Five of the six 1993 champions returned to defend their titles. Rod Millen again seeks another successful year for Toyota. Defending UltraStock champ Tommy Croft had lost his T earn Jeep backing, but has signed with Ken Hodgdon Racing.

Defending champion in Sport Trucks, Rod Millen won the second heat race, here passing the early leader Jimmie Johnson, Chevy, but Millen racked up the points for Toyota. As the drivers head to San Diego, Rob MacCachren leads the Sport Trucks with 62 points to Ivan Stewart's 49. Tommy Croft is already dominating the UltraStock class with Tim Lewis trailing 22 points behind. Jerry Rob MacCachren put his truck home third in the second heat race, then placed a strong second in the main event to take the points lead into San Diego. Danny Thompson is also a Ford Rough Rider and he parlayed a pair of third place finishes in the heats to also place third in the featured main event. April 1994 · Whelchel has the Super 1600 lead with Kevin Smith second. Rennie Awana has edged teammate Greg George in the Superlite war. Charles Shepherd leads the 4-Wheel A TV class and Kyle Lewis heads the UltraCross division. In the first Grand National Sport Truck heat Ivan Stewart . kept the Toyota effort alive with a win. It was Ricky Johnson though that was the hard charger. Rick Johnson found himself at the back of the pack in turn one but worked his way through to second at the finish. However, the Rough Driving Committee decided that Johnson's efforts were questionable and penalized him back to fifth. Later, Roger Mears said he thought Johnson had passed him under a yellow. Roger Mears ended up second and Danny Thompson was third. Fourth place was fast qualifier Rob MacCachren. In the second heat Jimmie Johnson sat on the pole in his Chevrolet. Alongside was Roger Mears Jr. Rod Millen had the inside of row two with Roger Mears Sr. outside. Ivan Stewart and Danny Thompson made up row three with Rick Johnson and Rob MacCachren in the rear. After the mayhem at turn one, Rick Johnson sat just inside the turn with a broken ball joint. Rod Millen had taken the inside line away from Jimmie Johnson but when the two exited the two option section Jimmie Johnson had retaken the lead. Millen held second and the younger Mears was third. Jimmie Johnson kept the Chevrolet out front for four laps but allowed Millen to pull the Toyota within striking distance when Johnson caught one of the hydro barriers. This blew Johnson's momentum allowing Dusty nmes

Roger Mears soars over a jump in his Budweiser Nissan, placing second in both Sport Truck heats and Roger sadly sank to fourth in the main event. Young Jimmie Johnson will win one of these races soon in his Chevy, and he led the second heat for Sports trucks for a time, and was fifth in the main. Kevin Smith flies high in his Mirage with Toyota power but he couldn't quite catch the winner, taking third in the heat and second in the busier main. Bob Gordon had a good run in the 1600 main event, eventually finishing third. He is followed by Superlite champion Greg George in a new ride for him. Marty Hart had a good race in his Super 1600 Chenowth at Anaheim, placing second in the single heat race and he dropped to fourth in the wild main.

But trouble struck Millen on the following lap in the form of a flat front tire after battling with Roger Mears Jr. The younger Mears fared worse by rolling over. The flat slowed the reigning Champs pace and he found himself getting passed ,by Roger Mears. On the last lap, at the final turn, Danny Thompson lost his second place position to team-mate Rob MacCachren. Fourth was Roger Mears then Jimmie Johnson.

Mike Healy was able to win the hearts of the fans by finishing 11th while demonstrat-ing some spectacular aerobatics during the last few laps. I guess we could just sum up the Super 1600 class by saying Jerry Whelchel. Yes, the defending champion Whelchel again won the heat race and crossed over first in the main event. Since Whelchel appeared in the Nye Frank built Toyota three years ago he has dominated the class. This is not to suggest that he didn't have to earn his victory. Marty Hart took the early heat race lead, but Whelchel elbowed his way into second. It was the third lap of the eight lap race before Whelchel got busy and took ov«. Once out front he pulled a commanding lead. Back in the pack Kevin Smith put in a hard drive and managed to challenge Hart for second. Hart held his ground and Smith had to settle for third. Gary Gall managed to take fourth and "Baja Bob" Gordon was fifth. In the Super 1600 main event Jerry Whelchel got the jump on the start and led from wire to wire. There was a lot of infighting going on to the rear as he lapped several cars.

Clark held second with Larry Nod crossing over third. Ken Hodgdon was fourth and Joe Anchondo was fifth. Superlite competition as usual was fierce. Twelve cars lined up in the first heat race which saw Andrew Buck jump out the early leader. Close to Buck was the fearsome boys from the Nature's Recipe team consisting of Rennie Awana, C.J. Mears and defending champion Greg George. Mears was able to move up to second on the second lap but soon after was called to the penalty box for aggressive driving. Mears was not the only on.e with bad luck; whiie leading on the last lap Buck's Triple E gave up on him allowing Awana to take the win. Awana's teammate Greg George crossed over second. C.J. Mears had enough fight left in him to move back up into third place and fourth went to Troy Lindhorst. Fifth was Jerry Moyer. In his first SuperLite heat race Greg Stuart used his front row starting position to take com-mand of the event early. Joe Price slij1pecl into the second spot with Mercedes Gonzales third. Stuart must have brought his 4-Wheel ATV championship determina-tion with him into the SuperLite class as he took the checkered with ease. Price spun on the fifth lap and Sean Finley had worked his way up to inherit Price's position. Third place went to Gonzales and Tim Baker crossed over fourth-ahead of Joe Price. The Superlite main event ended in a twist of fate for Rennie Awana. Awana led the pack around the first lap but his teammate Greg George soon after took over. Shortly after that Awana found himself engaged in an encounter with Sean Finley. Finley on the second attempt did get by dropping Awana into third. Greg George had lost his expansion chamber and Finley was able to catch up just before the checkered. Finley got around George but lost power on the last turn of the event.

The rear split bench seat is super comfortable with plenty of leg room. The seats fold forward and down to give you plenty of cargo area. Instrumentation is adequate and functional. Everything is easily seen and all controls are within easy reach of the driver. From the front, side or rear, the Nissan Pathfinder is more than handsome. The all black motif is a sure eye catcher everywhere.

Absolutely striking in appearance, the 1994 Nissan Pathfinder is at home on the highway or off the pavement. A limited slip rear end topped off the drive package and the General Grabber AP 31xl0.50 RlSLT Mud and Snow tires, mounted on those beautiful aluminum alloy wheels are like icing on the cake. Big and husky, they are the perfect compliment to the Pathfinder and with this package we were able to go anywhere we wanted to with ease. We did tackle a few rather steep hills which were a combination of soft sand and rock and we were able to traverse them with no difficulty at all. Brakes are discs all around with rear anti-lock as an additional safety feature. It was as black as the night, it had a red cloth interior and it was certainly a good looking vehicle; this was the 1994 Nissan Pathfinder which was to take us on a nice desert excursion last November. The Nissan Pathfinder has been around for a while, but every year there are a few subtle changes to enhance the performance of the vehicle or the comfort of the , occupants, and I've got to believe that one of these years they are going to run out of ideas, but in the interim I'm terribly happy with their way of doing things. Power is ample, the V6 three liter engine develops 153 horsepower with sequential multi-port fuel injection, which is plenty for most anything you would like to do with the Pathfinder. The five speed gearbox is as smooth as silk and quiet as can be. Four wheel drive Comfort is extreme, long trips on or off the road leave you with zero fatigue as the two massive buckets up front are made just for you, adjust forty ways to breakfast and with arm rests thrown in they are an absolute 'pleasure.

Box 91767 Los Angeles, California 90009 (310) 670-6896 April 1994 is a combination tempera-ture/ fuel gauge in the left side of the cluster and immediately below are two resettable odos in a liquid crystal display and I must say that you have to be very careful when you only want to reset one odo that you don'.t set both of them back to zero. Centrally located in the instru-ment cluster is the O -100 mile per hour speedometer with an odometer therein. To the right of the speedo is the O -8000 tachometer with a redline at 6000. Below the instrument cluster, starting from the extreme left of the vehicle are the heated electric mirror controls, cruise control master switch, the interlock, all the usual warning lights and the clock. Further right are the instrument lights rheostat, hazard warning and rear window defrost. Immediately below them are the heat and AC controls, the cigarette lighter and ashtray and below that still is the sound system, AM/ FM with cassette, 130 watts of power and eight, count 'em folks, eight speakers. I truly believe you could blow th<! windows out with everything cranked up to full power; much too loud for my taste but on low it suits my ears just fine. Master electric door locks and window locks are located on the driver's door, well out of harm's way but easy to get to and operate. T here is a forward center console just ahead of the bucket seats and a few more switches for your driving enjoyment, namely, the Driving Light switch, the rear hatch opening switch, the shock absorber sport/ comfort switch and, last but certainly not least, the security control _switch. The steering wheel adjusts to your comfort zone, the cruise controls are mounted on the wheel, the left side stalk controls the turn signals and the headlights whilst the right stalk controls the front and rear wipers and washers. Black front and rear bumpers only enhance the looks of the Pathfinder. Side step rails make entry and egress a snap. In the rear you have a pop-up rear hatch, a regulation size tailgate and a swingaway spare tire mount, complimented with a full size spare tire. A heavy duty tow hitch was part of the package and although we did no towing we do hear from people we know that towing is a breeze with the Pathfinder. To increase your pleasure even further there are lighted vanity mirrors in each sun visor as well as overhead reading lamps. A pop-up and removeable sun roof gives you direct access to the sky while outside there is a low profile luggage rack and a rear spoiler which is a must for any vehicle of this type. Fuel capacity is 21 gallons and with an average miles per gallon of just over nineteen you have a nice long cruising range. On the road the Pathfinder was fast and quiet and off the road was nimble and more than equal to the various tasks we assigned to it. We were able to move down the highway at speeds well over the posted limit and found the handling to be nice and smooth, very little body lean in the corners and overall a pleasure to drive. Try a '94 Nissan Pathfinder yourself; you will be as pleased with its performance as we were. The three liter V6 develops 153 horsepower, more than adequate for any activity you may have planned in the outback. Dusty Times

F.A.I.R. NEWS By Dave Massingham PARKER 400: F.A.I.R . saw two trophy trucks and eight buggies at Parker. The trophy trucks were Danny Letner and Bob Richey, both dnf. U nfortu-nately, both -had major engine problems. Tom Baker started the RCR truck with problems right off the line and retired it at Shea Road. Danny Letner lost his motor at midway. It looks like Bob Richey will pull away from F.A.I.R. pit support and go 100% with BFG. We understand this move and wish Bob, Tom, Lance, Mike, and all the crew, the best. If you ever need to stop at a F.A.LR. pit, you are always welcome! The regular race scheduled for the rest of us started Saturday at 11:30 a.m. We all agree with letting the motorcycles race early and not having them mixed with the cars. It sure made for a late pit for some of us. THE RESULTS: . 1. Martin Brothers Class 1 DNF. Shock problems. I don't want to say anymore. 2. Mineral Wash: Myers crew, along with Evan Harbottle and Pat Hennessy, from Chapala Dusters and their wives, we did have a personality conflict between Evan and Mark for the Myers team. I hope every one realizes the Dusters were there to help F.A.LR: this race.We were short a team and Evan volunteered to haul tires and help out. I truly hope this is all behind us and we move on to what we are there for: to support and service F.A.LR. racers! 3. Midway: Steinberger and Martins teamed up for this busy pit. They had more people there than were needed. As Omboli's crew took up camp there also. I hope in ~he future this will be considered when we pass out pit assignments and end up short handed at one pit and overloaded at another. All went well with their pit marked with X-mas lights. 4. Graham Wells: Parkhouse and Jeffries covered this way out pit. Sounds like this was the pit to be at, with lots of fun had by all. I' did hear about one minor problem. Mr. Jeffries, Damen's dad, had a boxing match with a pit light. End result: one pit light broken over his head. Hope your head is OK, Mel! Thanks for everyone's help while I was in Wayne's car having a great time. · Late note or reminder: Brian Parkhouse -Check your fuel before leaving for the races. Wayne Morgan -280 h.p. motors don't get 10 mpg. Steinberger - Last minute prep jobs don't work. Morgan/ Massingham Class 1 11th Place. Problems with the power steering pump seal on Wayne's lstloop. lgotin to drive the. 2nd and 3rd loops. When Wayne came in all lights had to be changed since Wayne decided to push a pick up truck, that didn't work very well. We had lots of down time with the lack of front shocks and our oil filter bracket breaking. It was the first finish for Wayne's car with the new V4 and the automatic trans. Parkhouse Class 10 - finished Dusty Times 10th. Brian had problems with the rear brakes locking up and motor problems. One spark plug was too hot and burned off the electrode. Willie took the last loop having the same problems. Myers Class 10 -took 11th place. Steve had front suspension problems. Making it a very long day. Weyrich Class 10 -DNF. Gary lost the motor on the first loop. Tough way to drop out, after driving down from Oregon. Steinberger Class 10 -DNF. This was Scott's first time out in his nice looking, new, Old 7S truck. They sure did a nice job on rebuilding and repainting it. Scott had motor problems and a minor fire put them out. This was the tough luck award from F.A.LR.

The next race will be the San Felipe 250 with five F.A.I.R. cars and then the La Rana Presidential 250 with seven or eight F.A.I.R. cars. Good luck, guys! We did have one team that ventured to Vegas for the Bottom Dollar e~ht hour enduro. T earn Gibson & Dunne took their brand new single seat 1600 out. Harry Dunne was first to start. The eight hour enduro turned into a 10 mile "E" ticket ride. Unfortunately they lost the spring plate bolts and over went Harry three or four times, he says. Since this was Harry's first time going over the deep end, it was quite an experience for him. "How many lbs. did you torque the bolts?" asked Darryl Gibson. Harry's reply, "I thought you torqued them, Darryl!" Just kidding. The Feb. 2nd meeting was a little quiet, reviewing Parker 400 results and having a slide show by Carrera. Thanks Bill. Our Feb. 16th meeting had Rick Fersch as a featured speaker on "How to prep an off road race car". If you missed this, you missed a quality presentation! Rich not only knows what he's doing, but presented a great deal of valuable info for us. Hope we can have more quality speakers like Rich. Side Note: At the Parker driver's meeting I ran into Jeff Hibbard of the Checkers, and Jeff asked me about the F.A.LR. blue light. The Checkers also use a blue light. I told Jeff F.A.LR. had been using the blue light since I joined in 1978. WenowhaveaddedX-mas lights to mark out pits. I hope this will make it easier.

Pankratz was also in a Raceco, and was new to driving buggies. They continued to run in that order, but Stroud had no problems, while Pankratz had a flat. After the third lap, Stroud let Prell get in to finish, and he kept the car in front, while Pankratz had another flat. Stroud and Prell had absolutely no problems, and took the win, and the overall victory, their car still so clean that I could see my reflection in the floor pan. How did they do that? Pankratz finished second, on a rear flat. The Unlimited Class, next to start, was working as a catchall group, including those who didn't have enough other entries in their class to suit them. The FR T officials always try to find a place for a racer to fit in. Therefore, Vance Allen, in a Baja Bug, ran in this group, as did Josh Waddell in another Bug, and Kirk McDaniel in his Mini Mag.

The third lap was the last one for nearly everyone. Mark lost second and fourth gears, and then his front crankshaft pulley broke, while Corky peeled off his right rear upper shock tower.

They call it "The Heartbeat of a Better Idea". These two had started late, thanks to a leaky radiator. They'd stuffed a couple of cigarettes into it, to slow the leak, and made good time on their first lap, except, of course, their official time started when they should have been in staging, so on the lap charts it didn't look like good time. But, on their second lap, as they worked their way through the infield turns, the truck quit. They were towed over to their pit, and after a long time tracked the problem to a fuel filter regulator, and a smart rap with a hammer fixed it.

The Hewitt team was second now, with the Flores Bug in third, and Hawley, who was driving for only his _second time, in fourth. On the third lap the Hewitts disappeared, and Hart put Osborn in for his turn, and he stayed in front. He had nine minutes on Rich Flores, the younger half of the team, who'd lost his throttle pedal, and was driving with the little roller. And Hawley's co-driver, Dave Bonner, after repairs to the shock, was now in third. Osborn stayed in front, and now it was Rick Flores, the dad, at the wheel in second place, and Bonner, an old hand at racing, in third place. And that's the way they finished. Both the Osborn and Hart team, and the Flores team wanted to point out the advanced age of one of their drivers. It seems that Osborn is 57, and he thought he might be the oldest driver there that day, but Flores, Sr., turned out to be 59. Neither of them had re-membered Corky McMillin, however, who topped 'em both at age 64. The Class 9 troops were next out of the gate, and it was Dennis Daniels, in a Chenowth, in front, . with 58 seconds on second place Kevin Pratt and Wayne Ritayik, in their J imco. In third place it was Larry Kern in a Jimco, followed by Mike Stroh in fourth, and Steve Long, in a TUF, in fifth. On the second lap Daniels stayed in front, and now had nearly five minutes on Pratt and Ritayik. Kern was just 30 seconds later in third, with Stroh still fourth, followed by Ray Saucedo in a Chenowth. Daniels wasn't having any problems, and he held his lead, now at four and a half minutes, and it was now Kern in second. Stroh had moved up to third, and Saucedo's co-driver, Jeff Bennett, was fourth, with Long in fifth as Ritayik and Pratt failed to do any more laps. Daniels put Ray Miller in for the remainder of the race, and Miller held the team lead, which was now up to eight minutes. They were still having no problems. Kern had put Dave Dietrich in for the last two laps, and he ran second, followed by Bennett. This car was having problems with a new fuel cell, an_d Aprll1994 bits of the material from it kept getting into the fuel filter, causing many pit stops. Miller and Daniels took the win, finishing 12 minutes in front of Kern and Dietrich, who were second. In third it was Saucedo and Bennett, and fourth was Long, from Tucson, who was racing his first FR T event. The little truck class, Class 7, was led at the end of lap one by Scott Young and Mike Smith, in their Ford, which sports a 302 c.i. motor. In second, about two and a half minutes behind them, it was Mike Henry and Victor Lopez, in another Ford, the five year old four cylinder ex-7S of Scott Douglas. Jeff Clark and Dave Collier ran third in a four wheel drive Chevy (a SCORE Class 3 type), and Coy and Davin Brigman were fourth in their Toyota. Young and Smith motored on smartly· around the course, with Henry vainly chasing. He says it's good for his team, because "it makes us go faster" trying to keep up. Clark and Collier hung on to third, and in fourth now, but 45 minutes down, it was Giti Gowland in a Ford. Young and Smith continued to lead, with Henry and Lopez second, and now Clark and Collier disappeared, reportedly out of gas in the truck, and none left in their pit either. Gow land was now third, but two and a half hours down, and destined to complete no more laps. Smith and Young went on to take the win, with Lopez and Henry finishing second, only 24 minutes later. None of the others made it. While the entry for this opening event was down, the enthusiasm was high, and everyone enjoyed the race. There were no post race tech problems, and no protests from the outlying pits, so the Competition Review Board rested easy that evening. The next FRT event will be the Buzz Bomb, on April 23rd, in the . same general area. Just look for the arrows. Scott Young and Mike Smith won the Little Truck Class in this Ford that is powered by a 302 V-8, not a for sale option. They went fast and won the class easily and finished sixth overall.

IF YOU LIKE REDIIIIIIII 1994 Chevrolet S10 4WD Pickup Text & Photos: John Calvin They call it Apple Red and they are not kidding, this is the reddest red you ever will see. We took the 4 Wheel drive SlO pickup on a couple of short trips and the new look of the '94 SlO and the most attractive red color turned heads wherever we went. This particular Sl0 was a Fleetside model and was equipped with the 4.3 liter V6, Central Port Fuel Injected and it delivered a brutal 195 horsepower and 260 pounds of torque. More than enough power for most anything you might want to do. The tires were nice big BFGoodrich All Terrain T I As, and a goodly size they were, 3lxl0.50 R15LT, mounted on good looking aluminum wheels and with these tires we were able to go all over the southern Nevada desert. A full size spare resides beneath the bed. The four speed automatic transmission with overdrive is so sm.ooth you don't even know when it is shifting. And, all of this, coupled to a locking rear axle differential with a 3:73 ratio makes your off road power package complete. Suspension was hard but grea·t feeling. This particular SlO had only a thousand miles on it so I assume the ride would soften a bit as it wears in. Also, tire pressure could be lowered although we did not do so. Front suspension is independent, coil springs in two wheel drive, torsion bars in four wheel drive. Forty six millimeter shocks complete the suspension package with two stage leaf springs in the rear. Analog instrumentation was installed, with a new feature, it's backlit, making it easier than ever to see and read. A zero to 100 mile per hour speedometer and a zero to 6000 rpm tachometer share the center of the instrument cluster, oil pressure and temperature on the left, fuel gauge and battery condition on the right. The tach is redlined at 5500 and all of that rpm is there and useable. The odometer and resettable trip= meter are located in the tach. Centrally located on the front dash is the AM /FM stereo radio with seek, scan, cassette, equali:er and clock. Further right are the heat and air controls, these are very easy to read and to use. Other necessities are the electric door locks and electric window controls, installed on the driver's door, well out of the way but easy to get to. Also mounted on the driver's door are the electric outside remote controls. for the left and right side mirrors,. another feature we are having trouble living without. Under the radio there is a small tray, beneath that is the cigarette lighter and ashtray and there are also two additional 12 volt ports for your computer or cellular" phone, a nice feature not seen too often in pickup trucks. On the extreme right side of the dash is a decent sized glove box, and coupled with the center console compartment gives you plenty of room for paper storage, etc. The center mirror has read-ing/ map lights located in it and the lights come on for entry/ exit visibility with a fifteen second delay, another nice feature. The steering wheel comes complete with tilt control, making life a lot easier for some of us. The gear select lever is mounted on the right side of the steering column while the stalk on the left side controls the turn signals, wiper, washer and delay as well as the cruise control, another great accessory to have on those long trips. There is a console between the seats and forward of that, down Amidst all this plumbing beats the heart of the VORTEC V6, 195 fuel injected on the transmission tunnel is yet _h_or_s_e_p_ow_er_a_t_y_o_u_r_d_is_p_o_sa_l_. _________________ • another console with the ever-present cup holders and another receptacle for sunglasses or other small items.

After a long time off from racing the FLORIDA OFF ROAD DRIVERS ASSOCIA-TION (F.O.R.D.A.) was back in action at Sharpes, Florida. Late last year the association lost the track it had been racing at for most of the year, leaving it with no place to go. Although the season got off to a shaky start with entries for the day on the light side, everybody enjoyed a chance to race again. LIMITED BAJA: The team of Wayne Simmons and Larry Olsen started the day off with a broken throttle cable while running hot laps. The flagman lined up the drivers for their first heat, starting the race one driver short. Simmons had been unable to leave the pits because of car-buretor trouble. Finally, down by two laps he entered the race. Bill Whatley ran into trouble with a broken throttle cable in the first lap. Loren Swinehart, driving an off road car for the first time, held his own but was no match for the leader. Dean Anderson took the lead when Whatley fell to the wayside, and was unchallenged as he crossed the finish line with room to spare. Swinehart took second with Simmons managing third. SECOND HEAT: Olsen had stepped in for Simmons and was leading the race by inches as Anderson and Whatley pressured him at every turn. Swinehart was setting back, watching the action _ Marty Neri had a real fight on his hands early in the 1600 racing, but his challengers both had mechanical trouble and Marty did not, and he won the 1600 honors for the day. Mark Amrheim and Ken Kersey ran well for quite a while in Challenger action, but the front end broke late in the second heat putting them in third place. Sam Pace was running wheel to wheel with the eventual winner in Challenger . class, the biggest bunch there, but a broken trans put him down in fourth place. Larry Olson and Wayne Simmons broke a throttle cable in the first Limited Baja heat, got it all fixed, and broke a throttle cable again in the second round, so they ended up fourth in class. • Mark Bicker was one of the 1600s giving Neri a run for Zoomie Hinson ran strong in the Challenger Class con-the money, but Mark had his engine go sour in the first . test, until he flipped in the second heat which dropped heat, and he wasn't able to continue. him to second on the day's .points.

Whatley took over the lead with Anderson hot on his bumper. Time was running out,. with Anderson unable to pass Whatley. Simmons had managed to rig his cable up with baleing wire to try and finish the day.

Our race dates in the January Dusty Times were tentative dates and due to conflicting events in the Wend-over area with the Salt Flat Speed Trials, we are making these date changes. The Wendover Express event is firm now on May 7, the Jackpot 200 remains on July 2, and the Bonneville Challenge is on September 3 back at Wend-over. It is correct in the Dusty Times calendar now for ready reference. There are some changes taking place, especially in SCORE, whose rules most associations use as a guide to safe racing. We appreciate the safety rules, but fail to see any benefits of the major class changes which will affect the average privateer. Most of the changes are related to class rules :.~ather than the safety rules, as any . .of you who have a new rule book will note. Most changes are for the trucks with some for buggies. Well, Relax! I am just old fashioned enough to like and to remain comfortable with what we have. We will contin~e to run a mini metal and a heavy metal class. We will leave the buggy classes as they are and have been. Races. will run a very similar format with some streamlining as we can get it done. We have a new radio safety net for this year ( as yet untested). But, it is hoped we will better be able to com-municate between the base and other areas on the course. I hope to b e able to upgrade our computer scoring program in an effort to get results to you quicker. We're also approaching some of our friends to attempt to get more support. In this area some of you could be of great help. For example, I'd like to add an "advertising" page with every newsletter, and perhaps your company or parts supplier would participate. My thinking is to use business card size ads like many clubs do. While the cost of putting out our newsletter is fair! y inexpensive, it still taxes any income we are able to generate. Each letter usually runs more than $100 to send out so you can see what 8 or 10 a year do to the BORE. budget. I advertised my business in the exchange club letter for $50 per year. That seemed quite reasonable for the exposure it gave. If you or your company or supplier would agree, please get their card or infor-mation, along with the check to us Dusty Times Anderson in second and Swine-hart third. CHALLENGER: Sam Pace and Bryan Peterson quickly left the others behind as they battled for the lead. Zoomie Hinson establish-ed his pace and was slowly closing on . the leaders. The team of Mark Armheim and Ken Kersey were doing everything to catch up. It was wheel to wheel as Pace and Peterson never let up. As the fans waited for the leaders to make another pass, Peterson was all alone, the transm1ss1on on the Pace car had broken. It was easy sailing for Peterson as he took the checkered flag. Hinson had not · been able to challenge, so he settled for second with Arm-heim/ Kersey third.

As the flag fell it was Peterson taking his second victory of the day, with Hinson second. 1600's: First off the line was Marty Neri and Mark Bicker, with Mike Notary on their bumpers. Neri got the lead on the back section of track with Bicker bumping him in each turn. Notary had pulled off the track with motor trouble. Suddenly Bicker lost power, and was out for the day with a bad motor. Notary was another car to make a class, so the two entries helped out with some entry money and got a new "Sports" truck to move into the class and John won the class in his Toyota. It was good to see this gang at the race near Henderson. As the weekend was a success for all, there is some serious conversation with the SNORE officials regarding the exchange of a points race. SNORE holds eight races and counts your best seven for points, so with only three BORE races, a serious points hunter might need to run them all. Depends a lot on the kitty to get the Vegas boys to tow any distance. More on this as it develops. It would not surprise me a bit to see racers from other areas come in to test us. Some of back in the race but no threat for Neri. Neri coasted in for the win with Notary coming in second. SECOND RACE: Neri once again led the way and was out for a Sunday drive in this race.

. Brendan Gaughan, left, and J.C. Dean were the Class winners on points, 10th overall on points, quite a feat considering Gaughan had to commvte to the races from college and Dean broke his wrist midway in the season. Dave Petrillo ended up fifth in points, chased Holbrook all year in Class 9 and was fifth in points and named Rookie of the Year, "' a very popular choice. Kenny Freeman Jr. was fourth overall on points, which brought him $1,300.00 cash and a free race entry. Kenny also does a good bit of logistical work helping with sponsors and tech inspection. Danny Anderson raced hard in 1-2-1600 action all year but Larry Job got the trophy while Danny got perhaps a bigger honor, named Driver of the Year by the club, and got a jacket. Nobody could catch Bruce Fraley this year in his sano 5-1600 Bug, and he not only won the class he finished third overall on points, $1,600.00 richer and a free entry at one race this year. Victor Torres was the surprised winner of the Engine Builder of the Year award, and as hard as SNORE drivers race, he must be an ace with the en_ginf!S. podium and trophy girl TeJ1ille Maassberg drew -the winning number. It belonged to William Haddox who was just visiting the hotel and bought a ticket in the . lobby that very day. How about that for real Vegas luck.

Our table was jinxed Dayton says there coulu not be two-more deserving winners. We know Michael Gaughan certainly is most deserving but your editor was flabbergasted to hear the name Jean Calvin called also. Michael was out of town but his son Brendan escorted your editor to the podium, accepted for his father and carried both trophies back to the tables. It was a good thing Brendan was with us, as the trophy is nearly as tall as we are. This was quite an honor and we sincerely appreciate the selection committee so honoring the efforts put forth from here for SNORE. We all thank Michael Gaughan for his year round support of SNORE and for giving us his banquet room for the party and the outstanding food.

At this poirit Gary Waller called 1994 President Tommy Bradley Jr. to the podium for the ceremonial handing over the gavel. Tommy congratulated Gary on a job well done and presented him with a plaque commerating his efforts all year long. Gary wished Tommy a good year at the helm, and said he couldn't have done his job without the support and efforts of the SNORE workers, who are often overlooked as trophies are distributed. · Th_e most prestigious of all SNORE awards is the Jimmy Schafer Off Roader of the Year title and trophy.

Michelin Tires is now our National SCCA PRO Rally Title Sponsor, and are moving to increase product line, effort, support and put money into the series. Their effort in 1994 will be concentrated at the national level. The CRS and its members, benefactors of a special Michelin contingency program in previous years, wish to thank Michelin for their assistance and willingness to recognize the importance of the divisional competitors. a great chance to see and talk to new as well as old members face to face in a relaxed atmosphere as opposed to yelling at them over the sound of a motor, through a face shield, while they are in line at t~e start of a race or stopping in the pits for a quick lube and tune.

There are more details in the SCCA published SPORTSCAR (which we at Dusty Times haven't received for years). Rumors abound that northwestern Washington/Canada rally roads will be part of a national and/ or international mega-rail y effort spearheaded by former Olympus organizer. John Nagle. The event, NOT under SCCA, is scheduled for the summer of 1995 and has numerous multi-national com-panies on line. It should be interesting. Keep your ears sharp Christmas tree with lights, but it was sacrificed to the gods at the end of the evenings, with a wish from all for a successful 1994 for the Dusters. On that note, 1994 words from his Honorable President Evan Harbottle, "We look forward to a full calendar of events, with everybody in the Chapala Dusters contributing to a successful race season. I've been pleased with the pit support we have been supplying, as well as the indi-viduals involved, who have been great at stepping up whenever needed to service cars in the pits for repairs, and basically getting the job done. I feel our combined pits with F.A.l.R. at some of the larger races have worked well, providing the manpower and equipment to get everybody serviced." The La Rana race in January, kicking off the new year had Craig Bernal out in his Class 9 car, sharing driving. duties with Don Garbis. Craig had recently been in an accident on the streets ot Orange, CA with another Duster, , Mike Williams, and was hobbling , around with some damage to his Aprll 1994 farther out in the desert for their equal terms as we did not too pits.

Contact Ron Wood or Dan Hook, SCCA PRO Rally Tech Inspectors soon for your annual vehicle tech inspection. If you missed the two February sessions, get it done now while there is time to remedy potential problems before our 1994 events begin. Rim of the World Rally organizers Mike and Paula Gibeault report things are moving · along well. The economy has tightened a few sponsorship purses, but the roads, route book and workers are ready.

But racers like pain. Don ended up getting in for the last two and a half laps, complaining that the Barstow desert had taken its toll on the car, and providing him with a ride that rattled him so bad he lost track of which lap he was on. A big thanks to George Erl for helping set it straight and pointing the car in the right direction to a fine finish. Mike Blore, CRS old timer, BOG member, picnic coordinator and erstwhile rally competitor, announces he and his family are moving to Seattle where his wife, Kathy, has a great new job opportunity. He's sold a few rally parts and cars, but with the roads in Washington, he is sure to be rallying again soon.

Out came the motor and trans, just in time for the arrival of the spare trans to go back in, and away he went. Sounds easy - it took a crew of guys two hours, working at night, some laying in the dirt, working with flashlights to get the job done. An incredible team effort, helped out by the guys from Honda, who brought over more tools and willing bodies just waiting to get to work. (It had been a long slow day for them, too). Thanks guys! Some members who were out spectating at this race ended up with the racing fever by the end of the weekend, committing to having their cars ready for the upcoming SCORE and La Rana races. Hey, chicken if you don't! The SCORE Parker 400 race had the Chapala Dusters helping FAIR to man some of the remote pits, with Danny Porter/Mark Ruddis and Steve Poole the Dusters out on the race course. Har bottles and Heneseys were out helping at the Mineral Wash pit, looking for some action all day. The Porter entry was having a fantastic race until doom and gloom hit on the third lap, when Mark Ruddis pulled in with a transmission that had two holes in the case big enough to stick a Congratulations to Harold Curry on moving up to V .P. of the Dusters.

The Straight Poop Fom The Big Wahzoo AW ARDS BANQUET -With over 100 tickets reportedly sold, a good crowd once again returned to Thumper's Elks Lodge in Azusa, with the expressed purpose of officially honoring our best of 1993. Vance and Shirley again led the crew which properly decorated the hall in the required black & white motif, and the place looked great. The Elks were excellen,t- hosts as usual, and the steak din·ners they served up to us were generally very good. Dan Blain finished off the meal by supplying the whole affair with some excellent French pastry deserts! A big 'Atta Boy' to all those who contributed to this successful event. Next up were the Club Awards, with Butow assisting Peralta, who acted as the Master of Cere-monies. Besides the Appreciation Awards that were presented to our out-going Club Officers for their year of dedicated service, and to Crowley & Mansker for their work at the Garage, the following '93 Achievement Awards were presented: The two Checker 'Pitter of the Year' Awards went to Gene Dillon and Robert Harman. This is an .excellent example of that old sayin' "Checkers come in all ages" .. Gene is an old dude with a sparkle in his eye like oid Saint Nick, but with none of the hair. Junior Harman has lotsa hair, all of which he pulls back into a tight ponytail. This may explain why he is often mistaken for a young oriental. Congratulations Guys! Both well deserved. The first of the two 'Pit Captain of the Year' awards was naturally given to John Files. Hey John, how many of those things do ya have now? Over the years Files has become a Checker institution, as he's been continuously on duty at every Checker event to provide trail side service for all his Club Brothers, for longer than this Wahzoo can remember. Congratu-lations again John! Our other 'Pit Captain of the Year' was none other than the Hardware King of Sunland/Tujunga, Big John Hastings. Hastings, like Harman, also has a ·ponytail, but there's absolutely no chance that he'd ever be mistaken for a North Korean. John just recently made the transition from pitter to regular pit captain, and in '93 stepped right up to the head of the class. Congratulations John! Mighty impressive, especially when ya consider that ya had Crowder as your right hand man all year long! Speaking of Hastings, let me digress a moment. After a real nail biter of a Club election, Big John Hastings was elected as President of the Checkers. Congratulations Prez, I'm sure those little combo screw drivers were a major factor in your big victory. Hey 'Big', I hope that as Prez, you're going to be a little less of a pain in the ass for the Wahzoo than that last guy. I'm on OUR side John, ya can trust me on this! BigJohn's finger-in-the-chest management style will surely be complimented by Tom 'The Birdman' Koch, who was elected as our Vice Prez. Tom's campaign pledge was that DustyTlma as VP, he would definitely carry on the recent tradition of great summer parties out at Cougar Buttes. Way to go Tom! Peter Rosenstein was kinda an upset winner for the office of Club Secretary. Better watch him guys, he's gonna be runnin' for treasurer next. Speaking of Burak, it was another big victory for Steve and whatever church that is that we also support. Con-gratulations to all our new 1994 Club Officers! OK, let's get back to the awards. This year's Checker 'Rookie Driver of the Year' was also recognized by the Club as a 'Pitter of the Year'. I don't know how many times before that one member has won both of these awards, but in this instance, Robert Harman literally drove the wheels off the family Class 10 car, when he wasn't out there twistin' wrenches at some Checker Pit. Congratulations to Robert Harman! A rising star, and also one of Jerry's kids. This year's award for 'Driver of the Year' was a popular one, since it was given to a member who has paid his dues both as a Checker and an off road racer. On one hand, this is one member who can flat ass empty a pit box full of oil when he's having a bad day. This is also the guy who introduced the Checkers to Tokyo Rosie, and occasionally drives Burak crazy with his banksmenship. But, he is also a Checker who has been continuously fightin' the good fight in Class 5 for quite a few years now, usually carrying our Club colors home in the money. Well, '93 was finally the year of the Seeley, as George continued to prove that luck, persistence and dedication is often more im-portant then good equipment. I think a quote from Koch said it all. After finishing up the '91 Parker race in Seeley's 5 car, after George hit a tree and broke his shoulder, Tom proclaimed at the post race meeting: "Listen man, anyone that can drive that thing as fast as he does, race after race, is one hell of a driver!" George joins a long line of Checker Class 5 Champions, and was a choice that put a smile on the faces of all good Checkers. Congratulations to George Seeley, 'Driver of the Year'. The Club's most prestigious award went to a member who also received two other Checker Awards! First he got an appre-ciation Award for being the Checkers Garage Captain, then another one for serving as our Club Vice President. And finally, this member picked up his third award for being chosen the Checkers '93 Man of the Year! All during last year Dennis Crowley quietly worked behind the scenes to substantially help the Checkers continue on with our tradition of off road racing excellence, while causing very little controversy in the process. But now, Dennis will surely get a little more attention, at least in this column, as it seems he recently bought Mansker's 1600 single seater and plans to run some SCORE races this year with Hibbard. Hey Dennis, the Wahzoo'll be watchin' ya! (award winners get no slack -in this column) , so please try to remember Checker Truth #4: "There ain't no such thing as bad press" ! Congratulations to Dennis Crowley, Checker of the Year! Next up were a variety of awards from a number of different sources. Burak was presented with a special trophy that was covered with lotsa Mexican coins, compliments of Max, and topped off with a hand full of beans. This was in deserved recognition of 20 years of service as the 'Chief· Checker Bean Counter'! The Club presented our Annual Vic Van Ella Award to Charlie and Roberta La Yelle for their significant contribution to the sport of Off Road Racing. Both of them were in attendance to accept this big shiny monster, and in appreciation promised to find a special spot for it in their new motorhome. Charlie surely admired its possibility as a back up leveling block, while Roberta commented that it might be a great place to dry her underwear. Congratulations to a couple of fine folks! Vance put together a special Flaming Arrow Trophy that Kassanyi presented to Butow. It consisted of an ACTUAL flaming arrow, which was embedded in what looked like a Dodge Ramcharger. Kassanyi also presented his special Dr. Checker awards to a number of select Checkers and non-Checkers, each with it's own special meaning. Peralta, after his usual lengthy , tirade against the runners up, once again presented his Annual Checker Butt-head of the Year Awardby raising the toilet seat lid to expose a picture of Bu~ow! But Russ apparently had been tipped off, and after accepting his new toilet seat, he started to· present his own butt-head of the year award. Of course, Lou loudly protested, calling Butow a stinkin' copycat for infringing on his own creation. But Russ had the microphone and a hat made out of an old pair of jockey briefs, and he was definitely gonna present it. Finally Lo~ sat down, knowing he'd probably been had. But, it soon became clear that Butow had someone else in mind to get even with. After a long story about cards and letters that he got from the Wahzoo, where I supposedly promised to expose myself at this get together, he asked for the Wahzoo to come forward and accept his award. What followed was a profound silence, as nobody moved, except the Prez, who slow I y 'twisted in the wind'. When it became obvious that nobody was going to rush up front to put Butow's underwear on their head, Russ still passed up Peralta, and awarded it to Hibbard, who he obviously thinks is the W ahzoo. The final screw up in this presentation was that Jeff wasn't even there to accept it, so the 'under pants hat' went home with it's owner! DRAT! The pres~ntation part of the evening ended with a traditionally big raffle. But of all the prizes given away, probably the most notable winner was Hawkins, who is now the proud owner of a one-of-a-kind 'Pope on a Plate'. We all laughed about this setup, but I'll bet that from now on, every Checker that ever mooches a meal down at Lonnie's will find himself eatin' off it. And then the band started to play ... Do you recall all the verbal abuse Burak has taken over the last few years for his infaiuous 'turkey dinners?' Well, I would think that most would agree that that ain't nothin' compared to all the crap that he's gonna have to put up with over the next few years! Some might say it was a talent problem, but the W ahzoo would like to give these boys the benefit of the doubt and suggest that it was just a matter of poor chemistry. Personally, I thought the band sucked, but then again I was never no Beatles fan either. Hey Steve, we all know your intentions were good, but when it comes to music I think anyone over 50 oughta butt out! But ... despite the lack of a proper boogie woogie, a good time was still had by all!! YEAR BOOK - If ya haven't already picked up our latest Checker Yearbook, which cele-brates some 20 years of excellence in off road racing, a free copy or two is now waiting for every active Checker at the Dugout on any Wednesday night for the next couple of months. A big 'Atta Boy' goes out to Uncle Max and his loyal assistant Lou Menendez for a job well done! 100 MEMBER LIMIT -Cur-rently the Checkers are the only remaining volunteer racing team that is still able to regularly field a full pit network at all the major races, including the longer point to point and long loop races. And, at the current new membership rate, our 100 member limit will probably come into play for the first time in quite a while sometime around the end of this year. So, if you've always considered becoming a Checker, but have just never made the move, I suggt;st ya get off the stick! One of the benefits of becoming a Checker is that you'll immed-iately have an equal say in all Club matters. Equal is the key word here. This is a result of the fact that no one can buy their way into this organization. Checker membership has to be earned, and we do not automatically admit just anybody! But, if ya do think that ya have the right stuff, I suggest ya stop by a Checker meeting as a guest on any Wednesday night and get ac-quainted.We meet at 8 PM in the Van Nuys Dugout, 14032 Oxnard St., in Van Nuys. One thing I CAN guarantee ya, is that you won't have to put up with any stupid babble from some mem-ber's wife or girlfriend at the next table, since the only females allowed in our meetings are waitresses and topless dancers!
