SNAPSHOT OF THE MONTH ••• If it is June it must be time to go racing in Wisconsin, aftenhe Baja 500 of course. We thought those that haven't seen it might enjoy a bird's eye view of the course at Crandon, W isconsin, in our opinion the finest short course off road facility in the USA. This shot is a couple years old and you can't see the new sky boxes, just above the course out of sight here on the lower right, close to HWY 8 in the foreground. The famous Barn is almost dead center, the infamous pond is center right so you can get into it from both sides of the course. Some of the spectator parking is in the foreground left to center, and on the top is the participant parking. Both parking areas have been enlarged greatly in the last rwo years in preparation for the 25th anniversary of the Brush Run 101 next Labor Day. DUSTY TIMES will feature pictures of similar interest on this page each month. Send us your snapshot of something comic or some disaster for consideration. DUSTY TIMES will pay $10 for the picture used. If you wish the photo returned, enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Black & white prints, 5x7 or 8xl0 preferred but clear color prints will be considered.

The pair won Class 10 by more than eight minutes despite having a throttle cable and a shock break on the last lap causing some do\\n time. They fixed the throttle cable, bought a shock in a pit, this 15 miles from the finish, and went on to victory, and sixth overall. Driving the many time winnerChenowrh, powered bya Type4 VW engine, Bob Gordon and Frank Arciero Jr. again proved that hourspower is not necessarily the answer on long races; they won the Nevada 400 overall. They led the entire race overall midway, in fact Arciero set absolute fast time of the day on the second round, and Gordon kept right on leading on the second half, proud that his car gave no trouble at all, but both men are veterans of this rough, silty, rocky course. Our congratulations to both teams for outstanding performance on one of the sport's nastiest 100 miles of southern Nevada terrain. Color Photography by T rackside Photo Inc. to.

Coming almost on the heels of the car breaking Nevada 400, it was a goodly crowd that went through contingency row in downtown Ridgecrest, and there had been a few changes to the race course to accommodate the Navy, primarily, and the drivers said later the new stuff was no picnic on an already rough route, but they all enjoyed it. Jason Baldwin won the Class 2 honors and the race overall in the Chenowth Porsche, but Tom Koch and Rex Keeling were only five minutes back in winning Class 10 in the Raceco and they were second overall. John Devito won Class 150 in a Chevy, Jeff Stafford was the only Quad entry and did his two laps for the win. Dave Crinklaw also had no competiton in Class 4, but his Ford got in three laps for the win. Dave Baeskens and Gary Bates triumphed in Class 5 by just 36 seconds over Danny Reider. Daniel Drake and Rich Fersch won the seven bug bash in Class 5-1600 by a bunch while Scott McKinney was the Class 6 winner. The half dozen in Class 7S followed Dan Cannon to the flag, but he had just three minutes margin on David Winner. Greg Saavedra was the winner in Class 8 , while Chris and Greg Garrett won the Mini Mag title. Class 9 held 16 cars but had a familiar result as Jim Clements and Mike Brown triumphed by about four minutes. It was Ladies Day in Class 15 as Kathy Fay drove the Ford to victory. Class 1525 went to Bill Quitrneyer and John Barajas over a bunch of other Toyotas, Fred Nelson was alone in Class 1550, and Class 1578 went to David Edelstein ina Ford.JimJoyceandJon Kennedy ran to the 1-2-1600 victory in their Raceco over 13 other cars and David Mottahari was alone in Class 44 on a Honda. Watch for the full report and pictures next mohth. THE CAMEL TROPHY ADVENTURE began late in April with Mark Barber 0£ Macon, GA and David Simpson of Alta Loma, CA representing the USA. The two men were chosen after many months of elimination testing. This is the 15th annual Camel Trophy Adventure with 18 Land Rover Discoverys and support vehicles trekknig from Iguazu Falls, Argentina to the Pacific Ocean on an 1800 mile route of tough four wheeling terrain. Seventeen other nations have teams in this year's event and, for the first time, there are females among the "terrranauts", Carine Duret of France and Christel Persson of Sweden. Three winners will be determined when the convoy arrives May 4 in Hornitos, Chile after traversing swamps, jungles, deserts and high mountain passes, but what they win is a trophy. Barber, 38, is a forest consultant with considerable outdoor skills and Simpson, 34, is a salesman for a maker of off road auto equipment. Both have extensive competitive experience in motorsports. They have the chance to make the USA the first nation to win back to back overall titles in the event. Tim Hensley of Portland, OR and Mike Hussey of Middlebury, VT gave the USA its first overall Camel Trophy win last year in Sabah, Malaysia. Participating in the '94 Camel Trophy Adventure are: Belgium, Canary Islands, France, Germany, Greece, Holland, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Poland, Russia, Scandinavia, South Africa, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom and the USA.

TURBONERTICS head man Bob Keller was the recipient of the prestigious SEMA 1993 PERSON OF THE YEAR award, presented annually in recognition of outstanding contributions by an individual for the betterment of the automotive aftermarket industry. Keller was cited for his many years of active participation on various working committees and specifically for his chairmanship of the Environmental Strategic Planning Committee which recently published the Voluntary Emissions Product Identification Program. This easy to use guide is for manufacturers, distributors and end-users to determine the street legal status of aftermarket performance products. Other noted accomplishments were Keller's successful efforts relative to simplifying the industry's task of complying with legislated federal and state emission regulations. A graduate of the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn and a 32 year member of the Society of Automotive Engineers, Keller is a recognized authority on automotive turbocharging and is president and chief engineer ofT urbonetics, Inc of Moorpark, CA, a manufacturer of performance and special purpose turbochargers and related products. Congratulations, Bob! EGG ON FACE DEPT. Jack Sypolt wrote to tell us emphatically that Ron Stobaugh 's Class 1 race truck, campaigning in the La Rana race series, is a FORD, not a Chevy as stated in the last two issues in the La Rana race reports. We are sorry if that made trouble for you in Ford parts supply, and we should know better. Frankly the two brands look a good deal alike now that they have slope noses for street fuel economy and without a big badge on the nose or sign on the side it is easy for us to make such a mistake. LATE FLASH-After nearly a year and a half Bud Feldkamp finally faced off with the BLM officers in court. Regular readers may recall that Bud, who was returning to the main pit for repairs on Shea Road during the Parker 400 in January of 1993 was cornered by a few BLM trucks and their officers, movie style, and accused of reckless driving and a number of other charges, and received and gave back a certain amount of tough language. At no time was there any physical contact, and Bud was concerned about the mental state of his tee~ge daughter Amy who was co-driving for him in the Class 2 buggy.Bud took the $300 citation home, and sued the BLM on various harassment type charges. The tourt dates were moved a few times in Phoenix and finally the date of May 6 was set in Parker, AZ. It was seven BLM officers against Bud and his daughter Amy. The good news is that the judge, after listening to the variety of tales told by different BLM folk, heard Bud and Amy tell it like it was and issued his veroict, this after three and a half hours in court. It appeared he felt that the Feldkamps were telling the truth about that long ago day, and since the BLM tales didn't all match he issued the verdict on the citation, "Not Guilty as charged for reckless driving." It had been a long haul for the Feldkamp cause, but it was worth the struggle. W e will have all the details in the next issue . Dusty Times

June 1994 more Trail Notes ••• THE BFGOODRICH TRACTOR TRAILER will be missing a familiar face from now on, Chuck Reep, who has been on the job at most all races with BFG, doing all the chores from tire grooving to makfng really good coffee, has left BFG after 13 years in order to spend more time with his young family in the Akron, Ohio area. Chuck felt he had to spend too much time on the road, and missed seeing his youngsters grow up and missed spending weekends with the family. "Little Chuck" is short in stature, but long on talent and always helped anybody and anyone who needed help, even those not wearing BFG rubber during the desert races. He was also the resident humorist on the truck on which he was in partnership with Tom Minton most every race. Chuck will surely be missed and we wish him well in his new job. Tom Minton's new driving and general work partner will be Gary Johnson, who has been pitting and working with BFG for some time,andalso watching his son Jimmie rise up through the ranks in stadium racing to a full blown Chevy truck ride. THE FRT BUZZ BOMB 180 DESERT RACE was on the same weekend as the La Rana Ridgecrest event, but FUD had a goodly bunch show up to tackle the sandy washes and mud hills of the desert north of Plaster City and just east of El Centro. It was a come from behind victory for Greg Hibbs but he drove his Class 10 to the overall victory. Scott Prill was just inches behind, just over a minute on the clock for second overall. Benny Abatti Jr. and Mike Kracker ran away and hid from the Class 8 thunder trucks and finished fourth overall. There was a big upset in Class 9 . Yvette Pfankuch drove into the winner's circle with all the men wondering what happened. Yvette and her son Adam started, built a good lead, then turned the wheel over to her husband Mike. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time a woman has won Class 9. Congratulations to the whole clan. In Class 7 Scott Young and Mark Smith smashed their way to victory for the third consecutive time. In the morning run Dan Worley and Rex Statten won overall in bikes and won the Vet Class. The first overall A TV was ridden by Vic Bruckmann and Dyno Dean Sundahl. The overall winning Desert Lite, was Steve Peace with 360 mighty ccs for motive power. The full story"with photos will be along next month. THE SCORE BAJA 500 drawing for starting numbers was just held as we go to press. They had 123 cars in the drawing ov~r a month ~efore ~he race and ~6 motorcycle entries. That is a very good showing, but this race 1s popular with devoted Baja runners. This bids fair to be the biggest entry race SCORE has had for some time. THE FIRST ROD HALL INVITATIONAL off road race out of Reno, NV, actually the race site was at Fernley by the truck stop, was quite an artistic success but no doubt a financial failure. The race had every possible thing going for it, but entry. Regular racers from the south and from VORRA's home in Sacramento chose to ignore the event for the most part. A few but far from all Reno area racers came to race, but most of them stayed in the spectator ranks. Hopefully this race will become popular, the place to be in late spring, and it could grow into another race like the late lamented Mint 400. The course was about 100 miles, a giant loop just north of Interstate 80, with a flat and rock free parking lot by the truck stop and a flat but rocky area further down for racing pits. Three laps were required of this tough course, sprinkled with mountain passes and volcanic rock gardens. But just 15 racers took the green flag with Dave Brown of Gresham, Oregon in a Class 2 leading off at 9:00 a.m. His dust free first lap kept him in the lead and he won the race overall but he had a real tussle with the Jeep Honcho of Raymond Fisher, VORRA's Class 4 champ, and he won Class 4, the truck group. Dale Smith won Class 10, which was combined with 1-2-1600, and that is all we have at the moment. W e do want to say that the Reno Convention Authority had pulled out all the stops to make people feel welcome, a reception every night and things like that. And we had contingency row on Friday right under the famous arch that proclaims Reno the Biggest Little City in the World. The big attraction for local folk on contingency row was the bright blue, extra long BFGoodrich tractor trailer. We will have the full story next month. MTEG • LAS VEGAS -Rod Millen grabbed his second consecutive main event victory of the season in Las Vegas on April 23 driving the Toyota Sport Truck, and he also was fast qualifier and won the first heat, and now has the points lead heading into Salt Lake City. Kevin Smith won the main event in his Super 1600 Mirage, while Gary Gall won the heat. Tommy Croft won both the heat and the main event in Sport Utility Class. Joe Price took the Super lite main event over heat winners Andrew Buck and Mercedes Gonzales. Greg Stuart won the 4-Wheel ATV main event and Heat 1, Charles Shepherd won Heat 2. In Supercross action, Kyle Lewis and Craig Canoy won the heats but Larry Brooks led the main event. Again we'll have a full report next month. Toyota leads the truck points, Jeep the Sport Utility, Laeger the ATV and Yamaha the motorcycles as they head for Salt Lake City on June 18. TOYOTA AND ROD MILLEN plan an assault on Pikes Peak at the July 4 classic hill climb. This is the first time that Toyota has mounted a program for this event, but Millen brings a wealth of experience on the Colorado mountain to the first year program. The transplanted New Zealander has already earned three different records in the annual Race to the Clouds ... Now he desires the one record that has escaped him -the overall title. Rod remarked "With the support of Toyota this year we have a good chance of setting that record. It's always been our belief that the fastest car up the mountain would be a four wheel drive, rally based vehicle with the enhancement of an aerodynamics package, and the Toyota Celica, which has won numerous titles in the prestigious World Rally Championships should be the vehicle. Audi did it twice with a rally based car, so the chances are good for the Toyota powered by a modified turbo charged, four cylinder, 2.1 liter motor based on the design found in the Celica AU-Trac turbo and MR2 turbo production cars. Sounds like a good plan. THE SCCA/MICHELIN WILD WEST PRO RALLY in April saw Jeff Zwart win overall and Open class in the Porsche 4WD. Greg Lund won Group A in a Mazda 323GTX, Goran Ostlund won Group 2 in a Saab 99, and Selcuk Karamanoglu won GT class in a Mitsubishi. Further down the ranks Dave Turner won Production class in a Mitsubishi. Apparently no truck finisQed in that clas sin the rally run through the Capitol Forest logging roads near Olympia, Washington. Once again we'll have a full report next month. JJU Dusy Times

The team of Bob Gordon and Frank Arciero, Jr. led all the way in their Type IV VW powered Chenowth, to win the early April Nevada 400 overall. Still thought of as "The Mint" by many an old-timer, this tough race is now headquartered at the Gold Coast Hotel, where Friday's conting-ency parade and tech inspection took place in the parking lot, instead of on Fremont Street. Registration and a welcoming cocktail party were held in the banquet hall of the Gold Coast, but the start/ finish area was north of town, off of Highway 15, a few miles past Nellis Air Force Base. The course was roughly 98 miles long, extending on both sides of the highway. It was the same as it's been for several years now, and four laps were required, with a time limit of 16 hours for all entrants. Classes 11, Stock-Full and Stock-Mini, as well as all the Sportsman entries, would be required to complete only two laps in their 16 hour time limit. The Trophy-Trucks, which raced early in the morning before everyone else, also did only two laps. The race was started at 9 a.m. and the unlimited cars of Class 1 were first to go, one at a time, at 30 second intervals. When they came back around again the lead belonged to Arciero, who'd recorded the fast lap of the race, at 1 :52:41, beating even Dave Simon's first lap time( 1:55:57) in his Trophy-Truck. Carl Rene-zeder was second, about a minute and a half back, in a Porsche powered Chenowth, and then came Ron Brant in his Porsche Raceco. In fourth it was Pat Dean, who'd already had two flats, in another Porsche Chenpwth, followed by Steve and Tom Martin, in their Pontiac powered Raceco. As they left the start line, Dean, who'd taken the nasty bump near the base of the hill more gracefully than anyone at · the start, found that the hole had deepened because of the traffic, and this time through it pitched him head over heels. But he landed on his wheels, and was back under way in a very short time. ~im and Jason Baldwin had a strong run with Jason doing the last three laps m the Chenowth Porsche, and he moved into second in Class 1 /2 and overall on. the final lap. Pat Dean lost lots of time with shattered CV bolts on his Chenowth Porsche, but he climbed back up the ranks to take fourth in Class 1 /2, fifth overall.

Gordon was still first on the road, and first in fact at the end of the third lap, and now, with a half hour lead, he could ease up a ·little. Mark McMillin, in his Porsche Chen-owth, was now second, and Jim Baldwin's car, a Porsche Chen-owth, with his son Jason at the wheel, was third, five minutes in back of him. It seems that Jason's car had lost its transmission about . three miles into the race, so he'd commandeered his dad's ride at the end of the first lap. Jim was in the pit trying to get Jason's car going again, but it turned out to be a fruitless effort. The Martins were fourth nine minutes later, and Renezeder, with carburetor trouble, electrical problems, and shock troubles, ran fifth.

Tim McDonnell and John Kruger overcame the traffic in the 32 car Class 10 to move their Raceco steadily forward from third and they took the lead on the last lap to take the win by over eight minutes and were sixth overall. On the last lap Gordon found he had to pump his brakes a bit, but he had such a good lead that.it made no difference.

Dave was finding the course very rocky, as did everyone else, · and he'd blitzed a couple of tires. He had only a little over a minute on Brian Stewart, in his Dodge. Scott McKinney and Harvey Risien, in a Chevy, ran third, six minutes later, followed by David Bryan, in his Ford. In fifth it was Pete Alesi, in another Ford.

Ken Freeman Jr. and dad Ken Freeman Sr. had the Bunderson on home ground in Las Vegas, and kept the ten year old racer roaring to third in 1600 action. The Class 5 cars were next to go, and John Cooley moved to the front, with a lead of about six minutes on Neal and Mike Grabowski in their convertible. In third it was Garth ~nkeny and Steve Copening, from Oregon, in their 1535cc powered sedan. Dave Snoddy, who'd started late (behind all the 1600cc cars) was fourth behind them, in Michael Jakobson's convertible, and he was having trouble with flat tires. Cooley ran at a steady pace, and at the end of the second lap he had an hour and 20 minutes on the Grabowskis, and they had ten minutes on Snoddy who had a take the win by 31 minutes, and Stewart, who reports that the newly limited suspension in this class makes the rough parts of the course "really rough", finished second. Bryan was third, followed in by McDonald, and then Dave Westhem, Alex Bourland and Randy Salmont were fifth in their GMC after a rock broke some steering parts on their first lap. Next to get the green flag were the Class 10 cars, all 32 of 'em. As usual, in this class, it was anybody's guess who would win, with a full contingent of fine drivers and very good cars. And at the end of the first lap it was Ray Croll in front in his Jimco, a bit over two minutes ahead of Tom Schilling and John Marking in their Jimco. Tim McDonnell ran third in his Raceco, and Steve Croll, Ray's 17 year old son, was fourth in his Jii:n.co. Brendan Gaughan was fifth in his Chen-owth and Mike Lund ran sixth in Steve Sourapas's Chenowth, just a few seconds later. There was less than five minutes separating first and sixth place. On the second lap Ryan Thomas, in a Chenowth, moved to the front of the field, with Steve Croll now in second, about four minutes later. In third it was McDonnell, who'd hit a washout in the dust and broken a shock, followed by Ray Croll, who'd lost his alternator. Lund was fifth, and also having alternator problems. On the third lap Ray Croll hit something really hard, and hurt his neck. His resolve to drive the whole thing by himself dis-appeared, and at Check E he put his partner, Tom Rhodes, in to finish the race. And they had moved back into the lead, just two seconds in front of second place. That was Darren Ebberts, co-driver for Steve Croll. In third, another three minutes back came John Kruger, McDonnell's co-driver, and then Thomas was fourth just two minutes or so behind him, followed by Rick and Randy Wilson, in their A-Armed Toyota powered Raceco. Soura-pas was changing an alternator. On the last lap Kruger broke a throttle cable, but it cost him only six or seven minutes and he held on to his lead, while Thomas worked frantically with his chase crew to fix a broken tie rod end. McDonnell and Kruger took the win, and Thomas was second, eight minutes later. In third it was Steve Croll and Darren Ebberts, who'd had a late flat, and also tossed a fan belt. Steve Wolcott and Todd Clement, in a Pontiac poweredJimco, were fourth, their worst problem being a flat, and accidentally turning the ignition switch off.

Darren and Doug York had the early Class 7S lead in the Ford Ranger, then lost a rear spool, replaced it and motored home, second in Class 7S. Javier Sacio and Howard Lewis had a good run in the Nissan, then Jost the power steering on the last lap and dropped to third place in Class 7S. Dusty nmcs

broken power steering servo, some brake trouble, and his carburetor was loading up in the rough. Ankeny and Copening lost over two hours on this lap and dropped to fourth, while George Seeley, last year's points champ, used up over seven hours on one lap, and then withdrew, due to severe wheel bearing troubles-Cooley handed the car over to Mike James, and he continued to lead, and was still an hour and 20 minutes up at the end oflap three, and now Mike Jakobson had moved up to second, and the Grabowskis, who'd broken an arm, a shock, and the exhaust, had fallen to third, with Ankeny and Copening moving at a good pace again, in fourth. Cooley and James, who said they had just some minor clutch troubles, had Easter Bunnies, ladies with lighted ears waiting for them at the finish line, with jelly beans. Maybe that's what motivated them into the winners' circle. Jakobson, who had no flats, and Snoddy finished second, their last lap their fastest, and only 52 minutes behind the winners at the finish line. In third it was the Grabowskis, almost another hour later, and then Ankeny and Copening, fourth and last. The 1600 cars came next, and it was Mike and Jim Abatti in the lead at the end of the lap, their two seat Raceco 53 seconds in front of · Danny Porter and Mark Ruddis in their Suspensions Unlimited one seater. In third it was Billy McCool, in a Mirage, another minute and a half back, and then came Joshua Baldwin, younger brother of Jason, in a Chenowth. Brent Grizzle and Dale Ebberts (Darren's brother), ran fifth in their Chenowth, just four minutes and 13 seconds behind the leader. These folks were pushing hard, and there were a lot of good drivers behind them, also pushing hard. Things changed on lap two, and now McCool had the lead, and Porter and Ruddis were second, about four minutes later. S<,:ott Steele ran third in his Steelco, a minute later. Rob Nolin was fourth in his O.R.C., Ken Freeman, Sr., and his son, Kenny, were up to fifth place in their 10 year old Bunderson, and only seven minutes behind the leader. Scott put his brother, Brian, in for the second half of the race, and they had the lead at the end of the third lap, while McCool's co-driver Ed Pindley, lost over an hour when he was booted in the rear by a car in a faster class, and ended up high-centered on a pile of rocks and a bush. Porter and Ruddie were still second, only about a minute back, and they had Nolin's co-driver, Todd Teu-scher, who was running with no power steering, in third, about seven minutes behind them. In fourth it was Freeman, who'd hit a big rock and flattened a tire. In fifth it was Scott Webster in his ORBS, who thought he'd done his bit when he finished two laps and put Coy Brigman in for his turn. But then Brigman hurt his back, and Webster was back in · for the duration before lap three was completed. The Steeles, to whom this race is still "The Mint", got their first SCORE win, and the fulfillment of a dream, finishing their trouble free run 13 minutes in front of second place. Teuscher was Dusty Times Danny and Hector Ledezma, a son and father team, took the lead in 5-1600 class on the first lap, held the lead when Danny handed over to Hector for the second half and won the class by nearly an hour despite a broken axle and light troubles, their first time out on this tough course. fatigued after doing a lap and a no other trouble, and took second half with no power-steering, and place. In third, just a minute and Nolin had to get back in for the 11 seconds later, it was the last 45 miles or so, but they had Freeman family, with Kenny's Vince Alcouloumre and Patrick Fief rolled on the first turn, broke the surf board, later a cv and lost brakes, but they were second in Class 5-1600. . wife, Kerry, who was celebrating her birthday, riding along. They had lots of cause to celebrate, because the day before had been Kenny's birthday. Rick Boyer and Bob Mathews, in a Chenowth, moved up to finish fourth, reporting a flat, a lost motor mount bolt, and a sagged suspension. Brigman and Web-ster were fifth, finishing without benefit of their power steering pump.

The 7S trucks were another story, with 13 entries. In this group the lead belonged to Darren York and his Ranger, looking almighty fast, and 27 minutes in front of second place Jeff Lewis in his Chevy, who'd had to repair two broken springs and a tranny cooler fan.

were gone. Danny's father, Hector, took over for the last two laps, and he had 36 minutes on Alcouloumre at the end of lap three. Harbottle lost an hour and a half with a broken steering box, but was still third, just six minutes in front of Quintero, and his co-driver, Francisco Ortiz. Lede:ma broke an axle, but had a spare with him and needed only about 15 minutes for repairs. He also had an alternator wire come loose, and some of his lights failed for a while, but he found that problem, and came on for the win, a nice accomplishment for the team in their first time at this tough Nevada course. Alcou-loumre, who drove all the way, had changed a tire and a c.v., and lost his front brakes, but he said, "It was a great day." He was second, 45 minutes later,-and followed ih by Harbottle, an hour later, in third place. None of the others made it in. In Class 9, Tom Malloy had the first lap lead, in his Chenowth, with 40 minutes on second place Darnen Jeffries in a Jimco. In third, another 37 minutes back, it was Ralph Chadwick and Mike Dixon,"in their B.Y.J. VW Werks chassis, while Herman and A.J. DeNunzio ran fourth in their DeNunzio, two minutes later. On the second lap Malloy was gone, and Jeffries moved into the lead, now 34 minutes ahead of DeNunzio. Chadwick and Dixon were still third, an hour and 12 minutes later, and no one else was running. Damen's brother, Willie, drove the third lap, and he held on to the lead, putting them 52 minutes in front of the DeNunzios now. Dixon and Chadwick had a really good third lap, and closed up to within 1 7 minutes of the DeNunzios. Darnen got back into the Jeffries car for the last lap, and with nothing more than one flat and a limp front suspension, the team took the win, finishing 37 minutes in front of the DeNun-zios, who were second. Dixon.and Chadwick, with another great lap, moved up to just six minutes and 19 seconds behind the DeNun-:ios, for their third place. The lone Class 6 vehicle of Victor and Victor J. Acevedo, a Jeep Cherokee, had a pretty good first lap, and an extra long second lap, and then retired in a cloud of steam. In the Stock Full class, which had to run only two laps, the first lap belonged to Steve Olliges and Tim Casey in their Ford Light-ning, but only just barely. Chuck Johnson was a scant 17 seconds behind them in his Jeep Grand Cherokee, and then came Eric Heiden in his Jeep Grand Cherokee, not quite three minutes back. In fourth it was Gordon .DiCarlo, in his Ford, after changing a leaf spring. Olliges stopped to let his pit crew check the truck over, and dust the windshield, but needed no work, and had no problems, and Casey brought it home in front. DiCarlo, who'd had a flat in addition to the broken spring, fini~hed second. Heiden, who said the game plan had been for him to run conservatively while Johnson ran hard, had broken a panhard rod on the second lap, and his box wrench had stripped so he couldn't fix it. Johnson had also broken his panhard rod, and he Dusty Times Michael Martin and DoJJ Lampus had their Stock Mini Ford Ranger flying all the way, had some down time, but still took the lead on the second lap and won the class by over an hour. ·, had a good wrench, which he took to Heiden, and then he, Chuck, broke another panhard rod. Some days you can't win. But Heiden did get third place. Rod Hall, who'd bent some wheels on the rocks, and let the air out of his tires, said, "two's enough" laps, Terry Kiely and Chris Woodward ran second on their first lap in Class 11 action, but on the sec·ond lap they took over the lead and brought the VW Beetle in for their second win this season. after finishing fourth in his Hummer.

~ then had a nearly six hour long second lap, another pretty good third lap, but was far enough down that he couldn't have got the fourth lap done before the 16 hours were up. Still, he was the class winner, with his three laps. Todd and Jim Gatrell, in a Blazer, managed to complete only one lap, while Dick Sasser and Genaro Curiel, in their '77 Scout, couldn't even complete lap one. In the Stock Mini group the first lap leader was Matt Vaughan and Jeremy Bonds, in a Nissan, with Michael Martin, in a Ford Ranger, in second place, seven minutes behind them. Scott Sells and Darren Klopp ran third in their Toyota, over an hour down. Jack Zandbergen and his nephew Tim, had shock trouble and Jost two CVs, · but they carried on in Class 11 for a finish, about 53 minutes behind the winner. This class also ran only two laps, and Martin, in spite of problems with the bushings in his front arms, moved to the lead and took the win. Sells had a good second lap, and finished second, while Vaughan and Bonds had a terrible, eight hour long second . lap, and fell to third place, and last. In Class 11, another two lap class, the first lap leader was Tim Zandbergen, who'd ridden in a Class 11 car many times before, but had never driven. He had 15 minutes on Terry Kiely, who ran second. In third it was the team of Peter Rosenstein and Duane Morimoto.

He showed up for "late tech" at his start time, because his tow-bar had broken on the way up from Tijuana, where he lives. While the tech crew checked him out, and made him fix his brake lights, his brother, who rides with him, hustled around and found a source of race gas for the car ( no pump gas for his Volkswagen). On the second lap Kiely switched seats with Chris Woodward, and Woodward took over the lead, and brought the car in for its second win. Zandbergen put his uncle, Jack Zandbergen, into the driver's seat, and he lost • two c.v. joints and a rear shock. He finished without that rear shock, in second place. Solorzano developed a leaky gas tank on the second lap, and his brother, whose name we failed to get, said, "I told him we could not go on, we would be a bomb!" So they pulled over to stop, and the race gods were on their side for a few moments, because a couple of folks from Tecate Beer, which happens to be one of Solorzano's sponsors, were nearby, and asked if they could help. Eric asked them if they had a gas jug, and they did, a five gallon dump can. So Solorzano, who owns an auto repair shop in TJ, bungeed it into the back seat area of the car, dropped a gas line into it, installed an in-line fuel filter, connected it to the fuel pump, threw away the stock gas tank, and went on. The only drawback was that it was such a small jug they had to stop for gas often, and that was a slow process. They finished third, a little over three hours behind the winners. There were just seven Sports-men entries in this event, one in Class 5, two in 1-2-1600, two in Class 9, one in Stock Mini, and one in Class 3 . The Class 5 team, Lee Finke and Rudy Leon, thought it was a slick way to test their brand new, all coil-over suspension Class 5 car under race conditions. They made the best showing, completing their two laps in six hours and 18 minutes. Bob Azarte, in a Sportsman Class 1-2-1600 Mirage, had started out with a good first lap, even with a rollover. He gave the car to his son, Rudy, who ran well until he lost his power steering, and after about half a lap, handed it back to Dad, who then had the bad luck to run out of gas. But they got their finish, and the Sportsman 1-2-1600 class win. In second place it was Scott Bennett and Chris Hybarger, in a D.H.P., who didn't manage to finish a lap. Joe Bogart and Barry Blanchard ran in Sportsman Class 9, and they had their T-Mag in front on the first lap, as Bryan Moynahan and Brian Jeffrey failed to get their Raceco all the way around. June 1994 Of the seven in Sportsman class, nearly all from different classes, the overall : winner was the Class 5 Baja Bug driven by Lee Finke and Rudy Leon, about 40 i minutes ahead of the next car. Blanchard and Bogart, who took turns driving and being chase crew, went on to complete their second lap, in spite of breaking a balljoint and losing their points, and took the win. James Marsh and Carol Ann Greifeld ran in Sportsman Class 3 in a Sco\lt, and, while it took them over 10 hours to do it, they did complete both laps to get an official finish. Danny Clay and Mike Parker, in Sportsman Stock This is the :;ystem run by most off road race winners Mini, on the other hand, we~e able to finish only one lap in their Ford Ranger. There were only two com-plaints scheduled to be heard by the Competition Review Board, and when neither of the com-plainants showed up, no action was taken, so no changes were made. The next SCORE event will be the Baja 500, June 3-5, in Ensenada, B.C. Mexico.

Rob MacCachren, Ford, earned top spot in Sport Truck qualifying by over a second from Rick Johnson, Ivan Stewart was close, third in the Toyota, followed by Danny Thompson, Ford, and Roger Mears, Nissan. Rod Millen still had some soreness in the wrist he broke at San Diego's event last month, but said he was ready to race. Rick Johnson left San Diego with a one point lead over Rob MacCachren and Ivan Stewart and remarked that is how competitive the series has become; After qualifying Rick and Rob were tied for the drivers' point lead and Ivan was two points behind. The first Grand National Sport Truck Heat Race of eight laps opened the evening program. Two time defending series champion Rod Millen was on the pole with Roger Mears sitting next to him. Millen took the A lane off a quick start, while Mears in his Budweiser truck took the B lane. When the two lanes merged, Millen had a lead in the Toyota that he never relinquished. Mears hung tough for second place, just a few truck lengths ahead of his oldest son in a matching Budweis-er truck, Roger Mears Jr. with whom he had the best dice going · in the heat. Chevy's Rick Johnson moved up from sixth after lap 1 to cross over in fifth place with Ford's Danny Thompson next followed by Ivan Stewart, Rob MacCachren and Chevrolet's Jimmie Johnson. Next up was the eight lap heat race for the American Racing Wheels Sport Utility Class. Tommy Croft had qualified fastest, followed in just five ticks by Robert Gayton. Jack Millerd was third fastest, followed by Brad Person, T.J. Clark and Ken Hodgdon. Arizona's Brad Person in a Toyota led the eight lap heat race through the first seven laps, but eventually defending champ-ion Tommy Croft, Jeep Chero-kee, caught up with him and passed into the lead on lap 8, and that is the way they finished. Robert Gayton took third in his Mazda and was followed by T.J. Clark, Ford, Ken Hodgdon, Jeep Cherokee in fifth and Jack Millerd, despite a strong start in . hi_s Jeep, finished sixth. Jerry Whelchel flew his super Super 1600 designed by Nye Frank and powered by Toyota to another main event victory and second in the heat race. Jerry seems well on his way to another championship this year. Before the wear and tear set in, Rod Millen kept his Toyota Sport truck tidy as he flew to the win in the first heat race, and came back in the main event to take the win, his first main event title this season. The Four Wheel A TV action was next on the program. Mark Ehrhardt was the fastest qualifier by a couple of ticks on his JP followed by Todd Vescovi, Honda, Doug Eichner, Laeger, Greg Stuart, Laeger, Niclas Granlund, JP, Charles Shepherd, Laeger, and Gary Denton on another Laeger. In heat 1 Gary Denton, aboard a Laeger, came on strong from the start and he took the lead in the second lap, and he .held the lead through to the end of the first heat. Denton was closely followed by Mark Ehrhardt on his JP. While he ran in fifth place for the first three laps, Niclas Granlund, JP, came on strong on the fifth lap and held third place to the finish. Doug Eichner {Laeger) followed Granlund and finished fourth. The second Four Wheel A TV heat race was just as busy as the first. A couple of crashes shuffled the deck in the second heat of the 4 Wheel A TV series. Then Charlie Shepherd, on a Laeger, emerged out front in the heat race . Shepherd avoided trouble and held onto the lead for six'laps. He was followed to the flag by Greg Stuart, Laeger, who also ran a solid performance for the last six laps. Mike Olmstead, Honda, came in third and was followed home by Austin Hope in fourth, and Jeff Dickson in fifth, and neither had qualified well so they moved up nicely in the field. The Superlite Heat Race put a dozen on the grid. It was hardly a surprise to see Greg George take fast time in Qualifying followed by Nature's Recipe teammates Rennie Awana and Casey Mears, showing the strength of the Honda engines in the Briggsbuilt chassis. Todd Whitman was next fastest followed by Joe Price, Shannon Millen and Allen Yaros. A birthday wish didn't come true in the heat race for Casey Mears who ran hard but lost fourth place to the Briggsbuilt of Allen Yaros just inches before the finish line. Rennie Awana fared better for the team, grabbing first place in the fourth lap and holding it until the checkered flag. Awana was followed by Nature's Recipe teammate Mercedes Gonzales in second place and Greg Stuart came in third. Robert Gayton tried hard to repeat his early season win in the Mazda, left, but in Seattle he had to settle for third in the heat and second in the main event as he dices it out with Jack Millerd, Jeep, here. Defending Sports Utility points champion Tommy Croft won the heat race in the Jeep and scored a come from behind third place in the main event action. The Super 1600 field was down in numbers so they had just one eight lap heat race in Seattle. Jerry Whelchel was fast qualifier in his Toyota, but only by a couple of ticks over Gary Gall, who was just three more ticks ahead of Jimmy Nichols. But, with the semi-inverted start used for heat races, Kevin Smith got his Mirage out front from the green flag, and he had no problem staying out in front of the pack from beginning to end. His solid performance was followed by Jerry Whelchel who had moved from third place to second in the fourth lap and continued in the position to the finish. Cory Witherill was third in a Chenowth, followed by Eric Arras and Garv Gall, both driving Page ~o June 1994 Dusty Times

Larry Ragland was slowed by a couple of flats but finished strong, but his pit crew being in the wrong place dropped him to an official third in class. Wafker Evans cranks his Dodge Ram around a dusty turn, but these rocks don't look too big. Wafker did have a couple of flats but dropped a lot of time to converter trouble just short of the finish line, and he was fourth. Robby Gordon was back running the desert at the "Mint", in the Ford he shares with Frank Vessels.

SCORE TECATE TROPHY-TRUCK SERIES Simon a Simon Do It Again By Judy Smith Photos: Trackside Photo Inc. The third installment of the SCORE Trophy-Truck series went to the Simon brothers, Dave and Paul, in their Ford, giving them a healthy lead in the series points. This event ran on the same day as the Nevada 400, starting at six a.m., and sending the high-powered trucks out into the desert at 30 second intervals. At • the Parker race they'd been started two minutes apart, and at San Felipe the interval was four minutes, neither of which led to any close racing or passing. This was more fun for the spectators. It also ensured that the T-T group would finish early enough to avoid being on the track with the Nevada 400 entrants. Paul and Dave Simon are on a roll, using their smaller motor at Parker and winning, and using it again at the Nevada 400 and it brought them another win, finishing a full 13 minutes ahead of the nearest Trophy-Truck and taking a commanding lead in this exotic points series. The Trophy-Trucks were required to run only two laps, but they ran on almost the same course that everyone else would use a little later in the day. The only difference was that the second lap would be shortened by three miles so the Trophy-Truck CALIFORNIA PRE-FUN BYPASS VALVE KITS!

John ran right with the race leaders, coming in second officially after Larry Ragland was penalized, and Swift was just behind him anyhow. finishers wouldn't endanger the entrants of the main race, who'd be lined up in staging as they were getting the checkered flag. This time Jim Smith, in his Ford, got the luck of the draw, and was first to get the green flag. But when they came back around to the start/ finish area, it was Dave Simon, in another Ford, in the lead, with a minute and 44 seconds on Larry Ragland in his Chevy. In third it was Rob MacCachreri in his Ford, follow-ed by John Swift, in his Explorer, who was actually first on the road, and enjoying a dust free run. Ivan Stewart and his Toyota were having trouble with the electrical system, and Steve Kelley had put his Jeep up on its side, breaking his sway bar in the process. Each truck was required to make a mandatory pit stop at the end of the first lap, at which time they were to change two tires and take on fuel. That was no big hardship, because it's standard operating procedure for these teams. The Simon and Simon pit was reported to be the quickest, with a time of 40 seconds for the required stop. Ragland's crew got him in an out in 45 seconds, and Walker Evans and his Dodge were pitted in 55 seconds. _ Roger Mears, who'd brought his new Chevy truck out for its first race, had run into major power steering problems at about the 42 mile marker, and was still in the pit a long time later. Robby Gordon had lost about 20 minutes with repairs to a front A-arm and a ball joint on his Ford. Tom Baker and Bob Richey, in their Ford, had a brake problem, and Scott Douglas's Dodge had tossed a couple of belts. Evans and Swift had each had a flat. Stewart was also having transmis-sion trouble. On the second lap MacCachren developed a reported motor problem, and headed into a pit at Ute Road. while Kelley was feeling his way around the turns very gingerly without that sway bar. Mears, whose truck had been finished only just in time for this race, had lost radio contact with his crew, and, adding insult to injury, he ran so late after making repairs that he didn't reach a cut-off point in time, and had to drop out. The SCORE officials were making sure that there wouldn't be any Trophy-Trucks out there on the course mixing it up with the regular classes, who were scheduled to start at nine a.m. The Simon truck, which had started with a patched block, since a leak had been discovered at the last moment, was running its smaller motor, the one they had won with at Parker, which is 150 horsepower less than the one that had self-destructed at the San Felipe race. After pushing hard the first lap, and recording the fast time for this group, at 1:55:57, they took it a little easier on lap two, and were having no troubles at all. They were first on the road now, and first to finish, taking the win by just under ten minutes. Ragland, who'd been close, had broken four shocks all at once in a ditch, when, to quote him, " l thought I would make it -and I didn't make it." Swift was third, looking forward to his new truck, which will sport a V -8, and should be ready for the Baja 500. Ragland was later bumped to third when a pit crew infraction cost him a penalty. The pit crew had apparently been in an area that was closed to pits. Evans, who'd also been running as far up as second, had a frustrating few minutes when his truck quit for unknown reasons, and he dropped back to fourth place. The Simons now have 150 points, and lead second place MacCachren by 2 7. Swift is a close third, and Ragland and Kelley are tied for fifth, just a few points back. Dusty Times

It is a common occuring miracle of nature that many of us take for granted. Everyday it rises in the east, sets in the west, gives us warmth, makes things grow and tans our bodies. This happens nearly everyday without fail. Unless you live in Washington State, then the sun is a distant stranger. When it does come out it is a mixture of surprise and shock to life long W ashatonians. On the particular weekend of March 12 & 13, a strange phenomenon happened. Not only were there several straight days of sunshine in the normally wet time of year, but they fell on a weekend; and a rally weekend no less! Call Ripley. On Saturday ·morning my faithful sidekick and I drove into midtown Aberdeen, a charming coastal town located 50 miles west of Olympia, the state capitol. Driving through the city we enjoyed the near perfect weather only having to swerve a couple of times for bewildered W ashaton-i ans wandering into traffic, distracted by the Hell sent fireball in the sky that killed their precious clouds.'' Truly, some people ha;ve to travel more. But the majority of rally teams located here and around Seattle and Portland have no trouble adjusting at all.

Meaning national rally teams could count their finish here toward national points but only 60%. Further meaning, a regular class win at a full national is 20 points, he.re it would be 12 points. Simple. A total of 11 teams out of the 29 entered were going for national points.

Moodie/Fennell started out great, pushing Zwart for· the overall best stage times, winning a couple until the motor caused them to DNF. The trouble must not have been bad because the next day they showed up entered in the divisional and were going well again, setting fast stage times until they came off the road and were hopelessly stuck in a ditch. Davis/Greisler used the Doo Wops to get used to the roads here before the full bore national in April. They took well to the roads and recorded good times to the finish taking the class win and sixth overall. Production GT looked to be quite the battle between the local team and the Californians. Dale Beard/Richard Simmons pitted their Mazda 323 against Rhys Millen/Chris Griffin in a Toyota Celica GT4. Now both my faithful sidekick and I argued about who looked faster through the spectator areas and on the first day it looked to be Millen/Grif-fin. But after the first day the Californians trailed by a small amount to the Beard/Simmons Mazda.

Seattle competitors Goran Ostund and Steve Baker were only two minutes back in the Saab 99, and they nailed a strong second in the new Group 2 class, 5th o/a. Todd Hartmann and Kirk Knestis ran both divisional rallies in the VW Golf G Ti, finishing sixth overall, third in Group 2 in the nationai standings, had they entered the National too. in class happy with their trip up here. "We learned a lot about the car and know what we have to do now", said Chris Griffin after the rally, hinting that the young team knows how to go faster in April. Group 2 is the new class on the block, the new kid in town. Finally the national powers that be realize that the backbone of PRO Rally lie in the older, divisional type cars and that giving the divisional hotshoes a place to rally without buttin~ heads with the high powered Ford, Audi or Porsche cars that dominate the open class. Group 2 is simple, anything goes under about 2400cc, and of course, there are the various multipliers for twin cams, rotary engines and the such. Two Saabs, a Volvo and a 510 faced off for the west coast debut of Group 2, all of them fast, all of them a favorite to win and only one not a local team. Erik Thompson/Cam Jackson started out well with the Mint S~uff sponsored Volvo from Portland. The team threw out some good stage times but part way through the first day a navigator error cost the team enough time to timebar them. However, all was not sour for Erik and Cam as they came back the next day and entered the divisional and nabbed third overall, first in under two liter class. Quickly the battle developed between New Mexico's Mike Whitman/ Kevin Linville in the Datsun 510 and Goran Ostund/ Steve Baker in a Saab. Early it was anybody's bet and throughout Saturday they battled with another Saab, that of Sam Bryan/Rick Delamare, but unknown ills set the team back late and relegated them to third place. Whitman / Linville hooked up in the final stages, the 510 moving fluidly through the turns in every spectator area that I and the faithful sidekick went to and he pulled out the victory by just over three minutes over Ostund/ Baker. All four teams will meet again in the full national in April with, I am sure, some mor.e competition showing up. So the rally moved out of the Capitol Forest late Sunday, transited down to the rally friendly town of Oakville where faithful sidekick and I gathered our stories, were fed well by the local Grange ladies (The Grange is a farmer's co-op who usually erect a meeting hall for the town to use as a meeting place, social hub and community center). Awards were presented that evening and teams went on to repair cars, lick wounds and prepare for battle another day. Stories of the weekend were not over though. The new roads in Aberdeen were unseen by the Dusty Times local teams and, therefore, caught March. some of them out.

First it was Bob Wakehouse/Todd Terp in an X 1 / 9 who took the corner wide sliding over the side and rolled twice before coming to rest in the water, driver's side down. Spectators helped the team to dry land and as that happened the Mazda 626 of Andy Pedack/Marc Erickson came along in a near endo missing the Fiat by just a few feet. The Mazda team was unstuck, the car ran and they went on to finish the rally, dead last, but they finished nonetheless. Janice Damitio and Monty Horn, long time local rally ; people, ran a Datsun 510, of course, in Open Class, and I were second in the National standings, further back in the divisionals. Sam Bryan and Rick Delamare ran their Saab 900 in Group 2, a fast growing class, and were third in class, 12th overall in the entire rally. W akehouse and Terp were not so lucky. On Sunday meeting them again, this time as spectators at the famous Bozey Creek double hairpins they were searching for a new shell for the car. Tim and Penny Patterson had their ex- Dr. Dave Mazda 323 looking ready at the start but overheated on the first transit sending them back to the drawing board early. Another Mazda 323 had a great day. Dale Beard/ Rich-ard Simmons, who I aleady told you did well in the national portion of the ra.ll y did a sweep of the divisionals too, very happy with the car and looking forward to the April event. Unfortunately, we get a reminder that rallying, for all it is, is still dangerous and that we are human. Accidents happen all the time, mostly without incident, just a bruised ego and a dented wallet. On Saturday though we all got shocked back to reality by an accident involving locals Joel Wright and Rosemary Tindall. Doing well in their Mazda RX-3 the team was tackling a stage road near Aberdeen when the Mazda slid sideways at an estimated 60 -mph and struck a tree with the navigator's door. Rosemary Tindall took the brunt of the impact and was severely injured, ambulanced to Aberdeen where a helicopter airlifted her to Seattle. The list of injuries is long, surgery was performed Saturday night and as of this writing, eight days after the incident, Rosemary Tindall is still in a coma in a Seattle hospital with a set of broken ribs that punctured a lung, necessitating the surgery, two broken vertebre in the neck and obvious head injures. The rally community watches, our symp-athy goes out to Joel W right, who was uninjured and we hope that b y April good new emerges . .

Dean and Brendan Gaughan won overall and the combined Classes 10, 2 and 5 bash in the mighty Class 10 Chenowth. They had two quick stops, a driver change and absolutely no problems all night with the race car. A neat way to run, trouble free, on a very rough course. Now the weather became threatening, cloudy and high humidity. It didn't rain during laps one, three, four and five during the race, but lap two made up for all that. It only rained for ten or fifteen minutes, but there was about six hours worth of downpour dumped in that short time. Different parts of the course got widely varying amounts of water. Pit B got slightly damp while flash floods and heavy rain hit other sections. Some, almost believable witnesses at Pit "A" reported sighting Noah's Ark drifting toward Checkpoint One. Driver reactions to the rain depended on their location. Brendan Gaughan said the track just flat disappeared. There was nothing he could do but stop and sit there getting soaked until the road rematerialized. One driver, who asked to remain anonymous, said his lights weren't working good anyhow, and with the rain too, he didn't realize he was off course until he came to a stoplight SNORE's annual March frolic near Henderson, NV often has strange weather and this year was no exception. It started out fine with clear skies on the Friday night at the Lonesome Dove Steak House, title sponsor for the race and host for registration and tech on Friday evening and a gala breakfast before the awards Sunday morning. For a change the majority of the entry went through tech early and then went inside for dinner to await the drawing for starting numbers when tech closed around 9:00 p.m. The Lonesome Dove is right on Boulder Highway, not far from the race course and, even better, close to accommodations in Henderson for out of town racers. Saturday morning they held a Fun-Run of the race course, quite early it seemed, and this is in lieu of pre-running akin to HDRA's publicity runs of yore. The course was familiar for the most part, starting at the old bicycle motocross area just off the road to Searchlight. While they have been running the same route for a few years here the top, or northern, section was changed last March. It was about 50 miles around, and the famous Boulder Highway section and BLM 's Revenge rocks were still on course. There were some surprises in store for those that didn't do the Fun-Run, however. Now it didn't rain during the day on Saturday, and the weather was quite pleasant when the race started at6:00 p.m. lt was a balmy evening requiring only a light iacket for comfort. The lo~e Unlimited Class 2 of Mark Davidge started first, then came Bekki and dad Ken Freeman stayed close in the 1600 war turning most consistent laps in the dark, finished second in class, about 16 minutes back, but the pair placed third overall in the race. It was more Freemans as Kenny Jr. and his wife Kerry finished third in 1600 action, fourth overall and 19 minutes more behind in class due to flat tires and light troubles. Page 30 three fast teams in Class 10 followed by Class 1-2-1600, three Heavy Metal trucks, 14 highly competitive SNORE Class 9s, and a Class 5 and six Sportsman . . Don Angel was the first one _ around heading into the second lap, followed by Brendan Gaugh-an who made a brief pit stop to get his pumper helmet defogged so he could see, and these two Class 10s were having a tight race with Kevin Reusch just another minute back, and then came a gaggle of 1600s with some 9 cars in the mix. It was a family fight in Class 1-2-1600 between Kenny Free-man and his sister Bekki, who had started in front of her brother and still maintained a slight lead on the road. Bill Holbrook was leading the pack of Class 9s ~t this ,and a 7-11. The twisty stuff in the mount-ains past Checkpoint Three got really entertaining with some nice slippery clay. Even the Class 9 drivers reported sprint car style cornering using full, opp.osite Second in Unlimited Class was the Class 5 of Clay, Becky, Ken and Hal Flippen and Chris Jones who had five flats on course, four on the fifth lap, but they got their first official finish in seven races in this car. Dan Jewett and Hugh Helms were fourth in Class 1-2-1600, fifth overall and were another 45 minutes back due to encounters with a couple of attack boulders. June 1994 lock on the steering and lots of schlippen and schliden. The rain stopped as the race went on, although the water holes were still a hazard. Midway in lap 2, past the rain, Don Angel, the apparent leader, was in trouble and slid into the Butch Dean/ Barbary Coast pit, our home base in the Eldorado hills. Angel and car owner Kevin McGillivray had returned to the SNORE wars after a couple of years of frog racing, where they did well. Angel had set fast time for the class, in fact the race, but now was missing the bulk of the left side of the front end down to the hub. With Brendan G. on his tail he said he just slid into a boulder, then a bigger one he didn't see with the lights in his eyes, and also said he was off his pace in the deluge and probably would have hit some• thing anyhow. Although it was Brendan's pit crew, Butch Dean and the Valley Performance crew dove in and worked diligently on the California car for nearly half an hour. Don said he was mugged by a belligerent boulder that ripped off the best parts of the left front suspension. Maybe he should have been suspicious when he saw that big rock lurking beside the course wearing a ski mask. As he flew past the miscreant leapt out and ripped off the suspension. He charged back into the race but didn't finish the tap before the left hind stub axle broke, apparently having also been damaged in the boulder attack. By the time Kevin McGillivray got to the car there was nothing left to do but put the sad remains on the trailer and head back to California. Meanwhile up front Brendan Gaughan, fresh off the airplane from his east coast college, was sailing along in the lead, his only on course stop was for a tail light check and gas. After three laps he handed over to J.C. Dean and they both reported having a great time, flying through the dark and dodging the rocks. After taking the checker, they said they were ready to make a couple of more laps, just for fun. Seems like it's always more fun when you finish first in class and first overall in a Class 10 running as an Unlimited car. It also helps if you are still well under 20 years of age as they both are. Second in Unlimited (Classes 1, 2, & 10 were combined) was the Class 5 car of Clay, Becky, Ken & Hal Flippen and Chris Jones who had five flats, four on the last lap, but were able to overcome this to finish five laps, their first official finish in seven races with this car, second Unlimited behind Dean/ Gaugh-Dusty Times

Other three lappers were Scott Pearce, Mike Lorenz, Aaron W enstrup and David Brown, slowed by electrical problems finally traced to a bad battery cable, so they were eighth just ahead of Dee Jay Owens, his first time out and with trouble in the rain. The best of the two lappers was the Bottom Dollar winning team of Californians Andrew Linden and Warren Messick. They set a race record of three broken ball joints and decided to park it rather than try for four. Larry Tremblay and Jeff Gruba ran sixth on lap 1 but a broken ball joint at Check 3 parked them for the night in eleventh place. The number 12 team of Blake Monk and Lynn Dickton suffered carb problems right off the line. Lynn said a plugged main jet proved to be the culprit, so she handed over to Blake who broke a spring plate. Eric Shenberger, Lori Vitek and Jason Romans were 13th. Lori started the race and she had the fun of sitting out in the rain for a couple hours with near terminal ignition woes. Eric took the next lap and broke a spindle when he clipped Ed Looney's rear tire, so that was that.

Bekki hit a rock "the size of a house" on the first lap, the same rock she hit during the Fun Run, but didn't remember it in the race until she hit it again. Sure got Todd's attention. Ken said he was running about flat out on the Gas Line Road and when he came over one of the rollers there were two chase trucks- side by side coming straight at him. He got it all kinds of sideways trying to slow down enough to miss them. That one sat Todd straight up in the seat too. Again it was all in the family as Kenny Freeman Jr., his wife Kerry and Kevin and Glen Mallette were third, even breaking an exhaust on lap 1, got it welded and it broke again. Kenny was following Sam Dunnam when Sam pitched a basketball sized rock straight up and out of sight. Kenny said "I hope I'm not here when that thing comes down." Fat chance. The rock wiped out two of Kenny's remaining lights. He got more lights at his pits, but apparently the installation was not grounded so the lights didn't work and Kenny drove by moonlight to third place. Dan Jewett, Hugh Helms, Greg Ewan and Bob Fillmore cruised in to fourth in 1600s. They said that, except for getting wet and being chased by a couple of attack boulders, they didn't have much trouble. Billy Bryan and Les Carter had more fun. The radio report said Billy was on his lid a couple miles past Check 3 and needed help. Les formed a two man rescue party, went looking for the car, but after hiking about 23 miles up and down the mountain, Les got the word that Billy had got the car on the wheels and was back in the race. @#$#%&!! They get the Dusty Times award for Last Official Five lap finisher in fifth place. Bill Witt and Kevin Soder were sixth. They had lighting trouble and at one point thought they were lost. When they came to a stop sign Ed Dunn and James Egan controlled the Sportsman race, going fast enough, but no faster, to win the class again.

they were sure they were lost but got in four laps. Jeremy, Regan and Tory Gubler ran strong for 315 of the race, but on lap 4 Jeremy ran into a severe tire shortage in an inaccessible part of the course and had to settle for seventh. Kevin Ruesch, Kevin. Colan and John Bassett finished eighth with one lap done, and Rob and Bob Guevara, ninth, also made one lap before the dark demons devoured their car. Dan Bradley, Sam Dunnam, Linda Strusse and Steve Wilkinson were on the trailer in tenth place, not long after Sam threw the rock at Kenny. The Sportsman Buggy Class came out better than most with a 50% finishing rate. Jack Clinken-beard, Phil McCluskey and Kelly Sims were the only car in the class that didn't make a lap. They broke a trailing arm right in the middle of the Boulder Highway and help couldn't get to them until the race was over. Robert Silagy and Rubin Rodriquez did better. They had fun for one whole lap before race demons ate their car. Todd and Terry Vandawalker charged to a quick lead in class, setting fast time and staying in front for the first two of four laps, but they had problems on lap 3 and couldn't finish lap 4, so they were fourth.Jay Shain and Darwin Parsons ran a strong second for the first two laps, took the lead on lap 3, but a broken shock, on the BH naturally, and a loose tie rod end dro d them to The second overall Sportsman was the Ford Ranger of Barry Slatter, who upheld tradition by losing body parts, but went fast enough to take second over the buggies. Defending points champion Bill Holbrook set fast lap for Class 9, 49.20, on the first lap, stayed quick for another round, then an hour and 37 minutes lap on the third put him down for the count. third but with all four laps done. The Sportsman Truck entry of Barry Slatter, Russell Christian-son and Marcelino Ramirez ran with the buggies just to keep them honest. Barry said that aside from a fuel line coming adrift on the first lap on the Ford Ranger, and having to replace a co-driver who became ill, getting lost in the rain, losing his spare tire and jack, it was an uneventful race. He finished second overall Sports-man, even stopping to pull Billy Bryan out of a ditch. As usual the team of Ed Dunn, James Egan, Fred Carstensen and Ed Wiley ran a very controlled race. They went only as fast as necessary and led only one lap, but that was the lap that counted and they once again took home the first place Jay Shain and Darwin Parsons started out with three fast laps, but the fourth nearly an hour more in time, so they dropped to third in class, a finisher. Jim O'Donnell and John Gangloff had three fast laps in Class 9, but those were their only laps, and they did not finish the required fourth round. Todd and Terry Vandawalker set fast Sportsman lap on the first one, almost equaled it on lap 2, but the 59 minute lap turned to 1 :39 on lap 3 and they did not finish but were fourth in Sportsman action.

.. 1994 TAP RALLY OF PORTUGAL Juha Kankkuncn Wins Again For Toyota Text & Photos: Martin Holmes ----~~~f'¼,~ .. ' ~. Juha Kankkunen and Nicky Grist had easy sailing in the Toyota Celica Turbo 4WD after the second day when the competition faded, and Juha went on to score his 21st World Championship Rally win and take the 1994 points lead. Ten seconds were all that Toyota needed to pull ahead in the World Championship when Ford just failed at the end of the Portugal Rally to snatch second place. Assuming Toyota gain their anticipated and unchallenged win in Kenya, those ten seconds will prevent Ford from getting ahead of Toyota in the series until]une. J uha Kankkunen, Toyota, gained an unchallenged lead after Francois Delecour, Ford, retired, for the second time in three years, on the second day Lousada special stage. This left a three-way battle for second behind Kankkunen between Didier Auriol's Toyota, Carlos Sainz's Subaru and Miki Biasion ·, Ford. The first event this year to count for both the top teams and the FIA 2 liter Cup cars was well supported, with only Mitsubishi absent. The 'Formula 2' battle went to Jose Carlos Macedo's Renault but only after Tommi Makinen retired his Nissan. After this event three manufacturers, GME, Renault and Skoda are equal in the lead. In Group N a series of different Fords took the lead, broke down and allowed another to take its place. Jesus Puras won Group N and is now ahead in the series. Three top teams entered the second round of the champion-ship, Toyota, Ford and Subaru while Skoda was also nominated for points. Toyota ran a third driver, the Italian Andrea Aghini while Ford had four cars entered. Two run by the factory for Delecour and Biasion and two by the Belgian based RAS team for Bruno Thiry and Alex Fiorio. The 555 Subaru World Rally team had two cars for Carlos Sainz and Colin McRae, The 'Formula 2' teams were headed by GM 's -Cresting a rise is classic rally style Raphael Sperrer and Ernst "Arafat" Loidi carried on to finish seventh overall in the Austrian based Audi Coupe S 2. Carlos Sainz and Luis Moya got in some good runs in the Subaru lmpreza 555 delighting the spectators on cornering technique and they finished fourth. Page 34 Belgian driver Gregoire de Mevius, the Nissan Sunny GTI of Tommi Makinen and the Skoda drivers Pavel Sibera and Emil Triner. Now with sponsorship from their national airline, the TAP Rally of Portugal was the major twin-surface event in the series. As usual on the first day there were asphalt stages, where the top runners pulled stones and rocks onto the surface by cutting the corners and creating havoc for later runners. The other three days saw all stages on gravel surfaces, often high in the mountains where storms annually ravage the tracks. This is the only 1994 World Championship Rally in Europe running a full four day format. The rally attracted a very international entry for Group N cars; Escorts driven by Argen-tina's Carlos Menem Junior, Spain's Jesus Pµras; Dubai's Mohammed Bin Sulayem and Italian Giovanni Manfrinato ranged against Mitsubishi Lancers for Argentine Jorge Recalde and the German Isolde Holderied, who is currently leading the Ladies Cup Series. Different makes had won the past three editions of the event, different nationalities of drivers the previous four events. 89 crews started this event. Francois Delecour pulled ahead of the field, starting number 1 on the asphalt stages, which became progressively cluttered by stones with every passing car. But, a broken driveshaft on stage 9 suddenly bunched the top teams together. At the end of the first leg Miki Biasion and Tiziano Siviero had their Ford Escort RS Cosworth flying in fine style, a few problems later they finished third overall in Portugal. four seconds separated the top failed. In Group N the transmis-three! The Frenchman's only sion of the Ford ofleader Menem problem had been a tire failure on broke and Bin Sulayem pulled stage 5 when the tread started to ahead. Recalde had a flat on stage come away. 7 and Puras had many problems: a Juha Kankkunen had been broken turbo pipe on stage 3, leading the chase, showing his went off on stage 4 and a puncture restored expertise on asphalt on stage 6.

Three out of four official Fords were now out of the event. Auriol started the day 52 seconds behind the leader, pulled up to 48 but then fell back on stage 19 to 70 seconds. "We had a spin. All day due, we now discover, to bad alignment of a rear wheel, the car has been oversteering. What a pity to fall back right on the final stage of the day!" Neither Kankkunen nor Auriol had been using traction control on today's stages. The Subaru team was happier than yesterday. Between Sainz and McRae they won half of today's eight stages, usually using the new Pirelli Mousse puncture proof tires. Sainz was slightly delayed when the hydraulic central differential failed on the long afternoon stage. Jose Carlos Macedo and Miguel Borges brought the Renault Clio Wilfiams home sixth overall and also won the 2WD'honors taking the Formula 2 title as well. June 1994 In 'Formula 2' Macedo fought a losing battle against the Nissan of Makinen and the Opel of De Mevius; despite a change of transmission earlier in the day the Nissan pulled ahead. "This is the first time we have rallied the Clio Williams on gravel", Macedo explained. The Skodas of Sibera and T riner were fourth and fifth after Triner survived firstly electrical problems and then a roll. Makinen said "We had no major troubles; a slow puncture, twice oil was blown out through the dipstick, also the exhaust manifold was broken," De Mevius had unsuitable tires £or the long, sandy Fafe stage and a Dusty Times

In Group N Bin Sulayem landed badly on the jump at Lousada and broke the power steering; this damaged the engine and he had to retire, while still leading. Portuguese driver Antonio Coutinho inherited the lead, ahead of Puras. Recalde went off the road, so third, after problems with his gearbox, was Rui Madeira's Sierra Cosworth 4x4. Holderied lost 10 minutes with a wheel bearing failure. While dramas further down the field continued on Etape 3, Juha Kankkunen consolidated his lead and pulled further ahead, on his way to his 21st World Rally win. His teammate Auriol was now in second place having overtaken Biasion. Sainz stayed fourth, pressing Biasion ( from whom he has gained 18 seconds today), but the Spaniard's teammate McRae pulled up to within four seconds of Carlos only to retire in the afternoon. The day began with a remarkably exciting battle in which the top five drivers were all gradually getting closer to the person in front. The pressure still remained, and nobody would be able to relax until the 80 km of stages tomorrow at Arganil were behind them. On arrival at Viseu Kankkunen said his day was untroubled. Both Auriol and Kankkunen liked Michelin's new asymmetric pattern gravel tires. "They are especially better in traction, braking and accelerat-ing." Sainz knew the chance of catching Biasion tomorrow was slim, "but we are not going to give up." The greatest drama was reserved for McRae. His turbo, charger oil pipe was leaking and caught fire, the electrical wiring was damaged and the car stopped on stage 25. His rally was over. In 'Formula 2' Macedo was now 19 minutes ahead of his nearest challenger, the Skoda of Sibera, after both his closest rivals broke. On the first stage today, third placed de Mevius had transmission failure. "I thought these cars were supposed to be indestructible" he mused, wondering if the problem was the clutch or the gearbox. Then the category leader Makinen, after first losing second gear had his engine fail, and he was out. Skoda driver T riner was now third nine minutes behind teammate Sibera who had a broken rear window and door and no idea how it happened. In Group N Puras was 11 minutes ahead of Madeira while Holderied was third with her Mitsubishi. Earlier leader Coutinho retired with transmis, sion failure at the start of stage 22.

Electric door locks and window controls locate nicely on the driver's door. Rear seats fold forward and down to give you lots of cargo room for your off road adventures or just to get things home from the hardware store. 1994 Isuzu 4WD Rodeo LS Text & Photos: John B. Calvin Front bucket seats adjust to any position you might desire and they are comfortable as hell. Velour cloth upholstery covers all the seats and everything else is nicely carpeted. We took quite a few long trips and the fatigue factor was definitely at a minimum. The rear split back bench seat is also quite comfort-able and folds forward ,and down for increased cargo area. Between the buckets is a double deck console, two separate compartments, and directly in front of that is the controls for the electric outside mirrors and the heater controls for said mirrors. High up in the mountains or wandering around in the desert the 1994 Isuzu t,odeo is sure to get you wherever you want to go. A sun roof with removable sun panel was installed and comes in quite handy for a bit more fresh air. A pair of map/ reading lights sit overhead that give more than enough light to read by and I might add there are courtesy lights in the doors to illuminate the ground when the door is open. They say that red is a hot color and if this 1994 Isuzu Rodeo is any example, then they are right. The 24 valve fuel injected 3 .2 liter V6 produces lots of power, 175 horses ready to do your bidding and 188 pounds of torque to aid the Rodeo in its 4500 pound tow rating. All this and a limited slip differential too!

Wheels are great looking alloys with lots of beef evident. A full size spare tire and wheel is mounted on a swing-a-way rack out back, easy to utilize and it takes up no room in the interior. The instrument panel is easy to read and easy to see. There is a 0-8000 rpm tachometer, redlined at 6250, a 0-120 mph speed-ometer with a resettable odomet-er and gauges consist of fuel, oil pressure, temperature and battery condition. Immediately below are the various bells and whistles to alert you to all the government requirements.

Headlight switches are located to the left of the instrument panel whilst the windshield wiper controls are on the right of the instrument panel. Electric door locks and window controls are located on the driver's door, easy to see and use but conveniently out of harm's way. The tilt steering wheel adjusts to your liking. The left steering column stalk controls the tum signals and the high beams while the right side stalk handles the cruise control. Heat and air controls are located in the center of the dash and just beneath is a cigarette lighter and ash tray and further on down is a CD player with all its controls and directly below is the AM/FM stereo with cassette player. A nice easy to get at package. A decent size glove box holds quite a bit over on the far right side of the dash. The rear glass hatch lifts easily and can be opened from the switch on the dash or by button and key in the tailgate. The tailgate drops down to make a nice seat for your out back activities and, like everything else in the Rodeo, is nicely carpeted. The spare tire carrier moves away easily and locks in the fully opened position for tailgate access. Up top is a very low profile luggage rack which can come in real handy and a low profile air deflector to direct some wind onto the rear glass hatch. This feature is really handy out in the dust and silt as it allows some visibility out the rear in bad conditions.

We drove the '94 Rodeo for quite a while and we were really impressed with the performance. There was all sorts of power available and the Rodeo was really tractable in every gear and has a real nice power curve. The on the road handling was great, lots of traction and a real feeling of sure footedness in the dry as well as the wet, and we have had plenty of that wet stuff too! Off the road it was a pleasure, we were able to navigate to any spot we desired and we went there in complete comfort. The Rodeo is quiet too, wind noise is minimal and engine noise is almost non-existent. As I said before, there is power aplenty, steep hills are easily conquered and off the road you can attack most any terrain with the extra comfort of skid plates located in all the right places underneath. Obviously we liked the Rodeo, I'm sure that you will like it too. It has all the comforts of life and the price ain't bad either. 4 SEAT BUGGY FRAMES • Large enough for four adults, using tube-frame seats (Beards, etc .. ). • Accepts all stock VW type 11.R.S. sway bars, axles, trans axle and engine. • Complete with dual shock mounts, motor mounts, light tabs, anteooa tab, front end clamps, shift box and seat belt tabs. • Main Frame Tubing-1.1/2"X .095. diagonal bracing and gussetts-1" X .065. • 116" Wh11I Base with 10" rear wheel travel at stub shaft. flp ....... 1111CH11Ct A l/ 888! 11111 Av-, B C$1, CA 1!0!1 (118f681·!!8!

Howard Ford was leading Class 9 for single seaters over Jim Adness and Sabine Brand, the only lady driver in the race. All crews were given a 2-hour combined race and pit schedule for each lap which worked great for the fast cars. Burrows led the field out again for lap 2 and because of the lo_ng break was not expected to catch any cars. The sand was now getting deeper and many cars began overheating in the tough going; Vesty, Massey and Irons among them. That same stump got Ford who lost his class lead in the process.

Howard Ford overcame a bent rear arm to finish third while Matt Martin had his car jam in third gear which used up all his fuel and by the time he got more was out due to late time. Only 43 of the 70 starters actually completed the three laps and as was the case last year where round 1 was the dustiest of all the races, drivers are hoping they don't have to drive through dust like that again, especially in the next race which is the Firestone-Jacka roo V6 500 at Griffith which incorporates a night lap and is on May 28/29. Bull Oust looks like southern Nevada dust, sticky, but Ken and Laureen Smith plowed through it handily in their Holden Rodeo to win Class 8, Unlimited 4x4, by eight minutes and take 17th overall.

Coming in the summer on August 26-28 is the Fiesta San Quintin 200 and on September 30, October 1-2 is the San Vicente Midnight 200. The final two dates have yet to be finalized.

There is a new series in Baja California this season presented by the Club Automovilistico San Vicente. There will be six races in 1994, and the primary movers behind this series are former Class 11 champion Ramon Castro and Ruben Acevedo, operating out of Ensenada. They are trying to put some fun into racing at a reason-able price for off roaders on the west coast of Baja California del Norte. The entry fee each race is $200.00 plus $15.00 for the Championship, $25.00 for secur-ity, $10.00 for road use, a total of $250 the race. The entire information was sent to us is in Spanish, so some of it may sound strange as some of it is beyond our command of Span-ish. If you were in the drawing for the March and May events, San Vicente Ferrer 200 and the Ojos Negros 200, you got in a drawing for a free entry to the Baja 500. ln the corning races the bonus is an June 1994 . entry for the Baja 1000, and those eligible, we think, are class winners. The payback each race is 60 percent of the entry fee with an Pedro Ibarra flies high over terrain that looks very familiar to us, and Pedro just missed the overall by under a minute but won combined Class 1 and 10 . and was second overall. Armando Arce and Carlos Arce won Class 8 handily, the only finisher of three starters in this truck that looks older but runs fast and like it was new. Angel Barajas and Roberto Meneses flew around their course in a trusty Class 11 Beetle and they had an average speed of 42.24 for the five laps, fast indeed and they won the class by 18 minutes.

Samul and Jorge did a high flying act and when they came back to earth they finished third in Class 5-1600, a class where all starters were finishers. Second in Class 5 went to Enrique Alfaro who somehow kept the dust off his black car. He finished just under four hours at an average speed of 48.84 mph. This motorcycle rider is among the unidentified of the pictures, but we are sure he will appreciate the exposure anyhow. Also unidentified in our package is this quad rider who shows great style and form but no name. Maybe next time. Alfaro, and third was Alosa Acosta at 4:21 :20. It was no sur-prise to see the Class 5-1600 winner turn out to be Ernesto and Arturo Arambula at 3: 13 :54, fast-er than the Class 5 winning time! Sabas Munos and Ricardo Delfin were second at 3:23:46, followed by Samul and Jorge at 2:39:34. Sounds like a good race in this class. In Class 9 only one finished all the laps; at 4:22:36 Miguel Haro and Jorge Sanchez claimed the title. Two of three finished in · Class 11 led by Angel Barajas and Roberto Menses at 4:14:22, closely followed by Gerardo Montigo and Gabriel Gonzalez at 4:30:53. The Safari class title went to Roberto Ibarra and Eliot Hernandez at 2:23:14, followed by Escobedo Rico and Claudio Acevedo, at 3:41:13. Close behind came Jorge Sanchez and Hector Montijo at 3:57:48. Indi-vidual lap times throughout the range of classes ran from 42 min-utes on up to 45 or 46 minutes. They had 39 entries including bikes. All but the Sportsman ran five laps of a 35 mile course. It sure sounds like fun, and should be of interest to old time Baja rac-ers. You could pre-run this course, run the race, all in one day, and still have plenty of time to celebrate after the race and before sundown. The Safari Class is apparently for streetable machines, and Roberto Ibarra and Eliot Hernandez won the class in their low rider, averaging 43.42 mph. Escobedo Rico and Claudio Acevedo zoom along at a good pace in their plain sided truck, but they went fast enough to be second in Safari class at 41.04 mph.

Glen Neese charged hard in Class 1-2-1600 action, but he fell just a tad short, and he was second in both motos and second for the day, of course. Kyle Vestermark was third in the first 1600 moto, fourth in the second one and took third for the day ahead of Carl Asterino and Robert Dziurawice. Joe Price really flew past the grandstands in his Superlite, scoring third then second in the motos and he took a good second in the six car class. Andrew Buck ended up fifth in the first moto, but came back very strong in the second round and won it, boosting him up to third on points for the day. MTEG AT GLEN HELEN First Event Is Last Event By Judy Smith The Mickey Thompson Enter, tainment Group planned a six event series at Glen Helen OHV Park for 1994, but it wasn't to be. Along with the announcement of the reorganization of the MTEG, moving Danny Thomp, son into the position of President, came the announcement of the cancellation of the series. The press release states that "This move allows us more time to focus on the Mickey Thompson Stadium Off ,Road and AMA . Supercross series, as well as future motorsports ventures such as our recently produced Arena Cross held at the Arrowhead Pond in Anaheim." The cancellation of the series Photos: Trackside Photo Inc. leaves a bunch of racers with no place to play. These events gave the low budget racers a weekend of practice and racing at minimal cost. There was even free camping on the grounds, or it was possible to make it a one,day event, coming just for Sunday's racing. One of the nice features of these races had been the Saturday evening camaraderie, after the practice, when those left at the race track got together for a sort of pot,luck barbecue. At the March 20th event, when it poured There were six trucks in Class 7S Sportsman action, and Dan Cannon flew his chewed fender racer to fourth and second in the motos and second in class. Kathy Fay left her 7S truck home and brought her Glen Helen veteran 5-1600 to race, and she got a little battered but had a pair of seconds, and second place. · off and on most of Saturday, the practice had been cancelled, but the barbecue and pot,luck went on as scheduled. There was even a Steve Bishop won both motos in Class 1-2-1600, not much of a surprise at that, and he took the class title easily, one of many he has earned at Glen Helen.

The weather cleared for Sunday, and the racing went on as planned. There was no Dusty Times person in attendance, because of a conflict of schedules, but MTEG sent their results list, which follows. It's to be hoped that someone will pick up the banner and take over where MTEG left off. Dusty Times teams, so we had lots of people to change tires, wrench, weld. One neat benefit of being at the 58 mile marker was the fact that the infamous and treacherous Rock Garden started three miles on down-course (at the 61 mile mark) and the Spirit pit was spared the expected and lengthy repairs after teams had bounced and clawed their way through this gruesome 15 mile section. SCORE had set a 6:00am time for the Tecate/Trophy Truck start with the rest of the field set to take the green flag at 9:00am. While Spirit wasn't scheduled to pit any of the Trophy Truck teams, who would run only two laps of the approximately 98 mile loop, it was felt we should be set up and ready for any emergencies so a 3:45am wake-up call at the Frontier Hotel saw us up, on the road and ready to do business at Ute Road just a few minutes after six. The Ultra Wheels Ford F-100 racer of Jim Smith came scream-ing by at 7:08:45 and the day long, and-stretching into the night, ··Nevada 400 was underway. Smith, the first Trophy Truck off the line with #10, took an hour, eight minutes and 45 seconds to reach us so we had a pretty good idea of the bracket times for the rest of the Trophy Truck field. Other items noted on the Trophy Truck field: Ivan Stewart came by once then the desert ate him; Roger Mears, out for his maiden voyage in his new '94 Chevy suffered the same fate and Rob MacCachren, during his 2nd lap, suffered power steering woes and spent well over an hour in the Rough Rider pits and was effectively eliminated. The Simon & Simon Ford went on to win the Trophy Truck clash with the Ford Explorer of John Swift taking the #2 spot after a pit crew violation in the Ragland Chevy team dropped Ragland one place to 3rd. Wrapping up the top five finisher spots was the Dodge of Evans and the Valvoline Ford of Gordon and Vessels. Ford, with three in the top five, and BF Goodrich, with four out of the· top five finishers, came away very happy with the Trophy Truck results. By the time the Trophy Trucks had sorta wound down the rest of the Nevada 400 field was on-course. When the # 101 Raceco racer of Ron Brant and Tom Koch came screaming by, one hour, nine minutes and 25 seconds off the start, the Spirit crew knew we had a full day ahead of us. The first rig into our pits was the # 115 Chenowth of Doug June 1994 Fortin Jr., for a quick check over. Next came the# 108 UMP racer of Corky McMillin who'd clobbered the heck out of something with the left front and the Spirit bunch spent the next six minutes and 11 seconds welding the left front A-arm and removing the left front brake assembly. The Spirit crew was kept busy for the next few minutes with the #815 Canela truck (front end problems) and the #106 racer for a tire. Canela came back nine minutes later with a drag link failure which required re-welding which took the better part of 14 minutes. The W esthem Class 8 GMC racer required two rear tires and the re-welding of the lower A-arm mounts while Jakobson and Snoddy, in their Baja racer, just had us switch tires. Throughout the day and night, Steve Irey, the Spirit tractor driver, not only worked as a part of the pit crew but he also kept food cooked and out for the team. He did a great job and little did the SPIRIT bunch know that he was such a good chef. Let's put it this way ... no one went hungry. Dan Newsome, BFG race head, dropped by for a few minutes in the early evening and watched as the Spirit crew serviced two race vehicles. He said that all was going well for the BFG-shod teams. And in the end, it appears that BFG dominated several of the classes with gobs of wins and other high placed class finishers. The final racer of the evening, the #807 of Alesi and Anderson, flew by ( one head-light and all) at 12:07am, but by this time of the night a majority of the Spirit pit had been taken down and packed away. We were all set waiting to see if the team needed our help but they didn't so we completed our pack up and then headed for the Frontier and showers and sleep. In the end, the records show that Spirit serviced 36 race vehicles with an average pit time of a tad less than five minutes per car. This average would have been much lower had it not been for so much welding and suspension work, mostly on six vehicles that required up to 23 minutes repair time in the pits. The first 58 miles of the course must have been brutal... but then, this is always the case in this desert area of Nevada. So, now Spirit looks towards the Baja 500 in June. And it seems as if both BFG and Ford are pleased with the Spirit efforts to date ... Let's hope that Dan (Newsome) ofBFG isn't so happy that he puts Spirit back up at El Rayo for the '94 edition of this popular race event. See ya 'll in Baja ...

CHAPALA DUSTERS RACE REVIEW By H. Harbottle The Chapala Dusters are alive and well. While our racing efforts have been smafler than some past years, they are not unusual for the times. Presidente Grande Jon Kennedy recalls times past when the racers and members were equally scarce. We will still be· here for all of our present members and are looking for anyone interested in racing, pitting, and good times to become Dusters. The Nevada 400 entrants were: In Class 10, Henesey Racing, and George Erl teamed up with Jerry Penhall; in 1-2-1600, Danny Porter and Mark Ruddis; in 5-1600, Ryan Harbottle. The Henesey's are still working the kinks out of a new car and new driving challenges. Helen started and didn't get as much seat time as anticipated due to a roll that put her out early. George Erl, teaming with Jerry Penhall in a brand new car had mostly flat tire problems. They ran consistently the entire race to finish 12th in Class 10. Danny Porter and Mark Ruddis had a great day, running second through the end of the third lap. Their day ended abruptly on Lap 4 with a blown motor. Ryan Harbottle had minor suspension and shifting problems, but was running in second place when the steering box sector shaft sheared at mile 94 on the third lap. After repairs he completed the· race, driving solo for third in Class 5-1600. Also, the Dusters would like to acknowledge an act of sponsor-ship by Curt LeDuc. He got out of his Class 8 truck to help Ryan Harbottle who was stuck at the tunnel undercrossing, something he didn't have to do and something that we all hope we can repay by helping someone else whenever possible. To all Chapala Dusters out there past, present and future, we hope to see you at the meetings and races soon. F.A.I.R. NEWS By Dave Massingham The SCORE Nevada 400 race saw 13 FAIR entries, with typical results on this course. Tom and Steve Martin were a Class 1 DNF. Tom started with two very impressive fast laps. Steve got in for a two hour, 33 minute lap, having exhaust problems, and finally front arm failure put them out. Aaron Hawley was also a Class 1 DNF. Reports are that aggressive driving by Pat Dean put Aaron out just before Pit C. Aaron slowed down for the rocks and Pat didn't. Pat and Aaron got together and Pat agreed to pay for the damage. Wayne Morgan and yours truly finished seventh in Class 1 and 21st overall. That makes two finishes in a row for the Morgan Mobile. Wayne took the first lap, had to get out after one lap. I took the second and third laps, having one flat and some down time at Pit B. Must have been driver abuse by Wayne on the first lap. Wayne got back in for the last lap; unfortunately he stuffed it into a hole right off the start. It was slow going for Wayne due to front Dusty Times suspension problems, but he finished. I want to thank Dave and Mac for riding with Wayne and me. It takes a special person to ride. Thanks for all their help working on the car. It sure makes a difference. Jeff Kawell was another Class 1 DNF. I didn't get much information other than the trans let go on the third lap. Lee Finke finished first overall Sportsman in his new Class 5. Lee is a new FAIR member from Arizona. He owns Race Shocks in Phoenix. Anyone interested can reach him at (602) 254-0744. Brian Parkhouse and Willie Melancon finished 14th in Class 10 having many problems. This wasn't the race Brian was looking for. Thanks to Brian, Wilber is well on his way to becoming a new FAIR member. Stand by for more details later. Steve Myers was a DNF in Class 10. Since Steve didn't tell anyone he was out or give me any details, I don't have any to write about. Hey Steve, we need to know what's going on in the future. Please keep us informed at future races. Dick and Mark Weyhrich finished ninth in Class 10. I know of a few flats they had, but don't know the de.tails. Rick Boyer and Bob Mathews finished fourth in Class 1-2-1600. Rick and Bob are also new members, and welcome to FAIR. Tom and Frank Rusich were -11th in Class 1-2-1600 and this brother team of Tom and Frank are new members and new to the sport. I understand they got · their fill of pre-running in a rented Bronco. Welcome guys, and if you need any help, ask at the next meeting. Daryl Gibson and Skip Kawell finished 14th in Class 1-2-1600. Skip drove the first lap having CV boot problems. Daryl in for the second lap had the same troubles. Skip in for the third lap and Harry Dunne drove the last lap. Harry had a long lap playing with the throttle cable every 10 or 15 minutes. Welcome back to FAIR Daryl and Skip. Scott Steinberger was a DNF in Class 7S. After six alternator belts, flat tires, being stuck in the silt and losing the side panels, they ran out of time. Tough luck for the new team. I understand they worked all night again. Maybe dear old dad, the Weatherman, should lend some of his words of wisdom. Congratulations to Darnen, Casey and Willie Jefferies who won Class 9 and finished 5 7th overall. They are currently leading this tough class on SCORE points. The brother team made a single seater out of their two seat Jimco and smoked the rest of the class. Darnen drove the first and second laps, Willie drove the third, Darnen got back in for the final lap; got to be young and tough to do that! Thanks to Charlie Lamar, his dad and Greg for driving the FAIR van to Vegas and being Race Manager. Thanks to all the dedicated pit people who took their time to support all who raced. I also want to apologize to Frank at Pit A, you guys did a great job. Our April 6th meeting guest speaker was Jack Staveley from Cameron welding supplies in Stanton. Jack gave us a lot of good safety tips on welding and use of our nitrogen bottles. Anyone interested in more information can call Jack at(714) 530-WELD. Jack is an avid racer himself in road racing. He also owns five VW Things and attends a few off road races each year. Our work party April 16th was a success. We restocked and cleaned all the equipment for the La Rana Race April 23 at Ridgecrest. I am sorry to report the FAIR van was broken into while parked at Charlie LaMar's shop. _The dirty SOBs stole a welder, torches, tanks and cart. They also took all sockets, ratchets, extensions, l / 2 drive air and electric impact guns and some combination wrenches. Anyone having extra tools they can donate, .please don't hesitate. We had some discussion on the amount of spectators at the Nevada 400 main pit and the amount of trash left behind by two of our teams. Each race team is responsible to control their people at the main pit and to remove their own trash. Thanks to Brian Parkhouse and Mel Jefferies, who picked up the trash left behind. Please help us all to keep this sport alive and well. The next events for FAIR are "Fun weekend in the dez" and our annual picnic. We need ideas on dates and locations. The FAIR raffle is not doing well. We need every FAIR member to sell tickets. ThedrawingisJune 15,so we don't have much time left. Let's all get together and help. Anyone interested in FAIR, we met the first and third W ednes-day of each month at the Holiday Inn, located on Harbor Blvd. and the 91 Freeway in Fullerton, CA that is! Core Notes By Greg Shapiro We would like to welcome our new members to the club, Brad Inch, Rodger Schank and Perry King. Thanks also need to be given to La Victoria Racing for their donation to this month's raffle. All we need now is a truck load of chips. CORE had a good turn out of the usual racers with six cars running at the SCORE Nevada 400. First it was Chet Huffman and John Hagle in the new Nissan Unlimited two seater. The two were running in the top ten until, on the second lap, a rear Summers hub exploded and gave them a rear wheel steering car. Not able to keep the car going in a straight line they called it a day. Gary Johnson was motoring right along until a right rear flat set him back a bit on the first lap. Then ignition problems set in and he lost a little more time in making repairs, only to get on the road again and lose the ring and pinion. Joel Stankavich had his first lap problems that just would not go away no matter how hard they tried. Able pit fixed a fuel line, Charlie Pit repaired a damaged spindle and Easy Pit finished the job with motor problems. Tom Malloy brought out his new single seat Challenger and turned a 2:40 first lap with only some minor discomfort. Then on the next lap he lost the ring and pinion at mile 4 and parked it. Chuck Ratliff and Jason Kleber were running second right behind Malloy after the first lap. But, they too lost their transmission on the second lap at mile 76. Then it was off to the La Rana Spangler 200 where Brad Inch June 1994 Pff ffAM .REGISI ER BAJA EXPRESS RACING TEAM Hayward Mendenhall 15518 Le Floss St Norwalk, CA 90650 213-864-0893 BAJA PITS RACING/SUPPORT Carlos Orozco-President 619-449-nn Leo Calderon-Race Director 619-267-9928 10362 Carreta Court Santee, CA 92071 CHAPALA DUSTERS Evan Harbottle.President 909-676-8625 Matt Hansen-Race Director 714-951-n55 CHECKERS Russ Bulow-President 28447 Aldee Park Canyon Country ,CA91351 805-251-5970 John Files-Pit Coordinator 22311 Kentfleld Grand Terrace, CA 92324 C.O.R.E.

A flat on the second lap and the motor off song pushed them back to a sixth place finish. Tom Mattingly drove the front of his car into the ground all day long causing the shocks to let go and the beams to bend, and a mess of other things to go wrong. So he called it quits. Jim Clements had a great run going as usual and was running third going into the last lap. He made the pass for the win and it stuck. A great job by Jim, and that makes it three in a row!! Perry King, on the other hand, was not so lucky. He broke a torsion bar on the first lap which set him back two and a half hours. A pickup tube in the new fuel cell cost him more time, and then a broken shock tower was just too much to come back from, so he parked it. If you are an independent racer struggling to race and need quality pit support, CORE is for you. Our only requirements are that you donate fifty dollars and two pit personnel a race and that you have a lot of fun.
