OF THE MONTH ••• .& • • Where are these men now that the sport of off road racing needs help. For newcomers to the sport they are Walt Lott of HORA on the left and the one and only Mickey Thompson on the right attending the 1983 SCORE International annual awards banquet in the Los Angeles area. Although they fought for dates ·and venues often, the two men built the sport in its early days to the point of getting major sponsorship from major manufacturers into the sport. Sadly they are both gone now. Walt died of a heart attack while conducting the Fireworks 250 race and Mickey and his wife Trudy were brutally murdered ~s they prepared to go to work.

Jeremy Gubler has quite a record going. In December 1994 he won the SNORE El Dorado 250 overall in his single seat 1600 buggy, coming in just a couple of minutes ahead of Robby Gordon who was doing some real world testing on his Trophy-Truck. Jeremy started the New Year right by winning overall again in the same car at the SNORE Bottom Dollar, and in March, despite suffering from the flu, he won his class again and was second overall at the SNORE Twilight 200. All three events were near his Las Vegas home. Quite a record for the young man who is just barely 17 years old. Our congratulations to Jeremy Gubler. The La Rana Presidential 250 in February enjoyed beautiful weather between rain storms in the Mojave desert near Barstow, CA. A husky 90 car entry all saw the bumper of Jerry Pen hall's Raceco all day. Jerry took the lead with fast time on the first lap at 56.76 mph, and his overall winning average of 55.40. It was quite a performance for the Class 10 machine, and Jerry· said his only trouble was getting water on the engine about half way around in the deep puddles, but it restarted and he went on to his first overall victory in plenty of years of racing, and he prepares the car himself too. Congratulations to Jerry Penhall, often a winner, and he was really pleased with the overall title at last. Color Photography by Carrera Photography and T rackside Photos Inc. to S~7oaalf.

SOAPBOX By Jean Calvin What a change it was to leave wet and soggy southern California for the SCORE T ecate San Felipe 250. The town, about 130 miles south of the border on the Gulf of California, better known as the Sea of Cortez, features warm and sunny beach weather almost every day of the year, and it also wel-comes off road racers with open arms, and has over the years since organized off road racing began in ~aja California. We did wonder how the devastating peso devalua-tion would affect our stay in San Felipe, as the exchange rate seemed to change hourly, at least at the border cambios. Well, it didn't take long to find out that San Felipe was still oper-ating on a dollar economy with high prices, in dollars, for both food and drink at many of the nicer hotels along the beach, including the one we had reserva-tions at for the weekend. Arriving on the Thursday n·ight we found out that the rate had accelerated to $77 per night since we had secured the room, sight unseen, and this is not a fancy place, but it is new. The room was similar to a Big 6 Motel in size and accommo-• dation, but they did honor our request for a ground floor room. Of course, there was but a single towel in the room and the sink was cracked and falling off the wall. First chore was to secure towels and face cloths, which didn't take too long by Mexican standards. And to be fair, the room was nice and clean. Then we discovered that the parking lot was totally inadequate for the size of the place, and once you vacated a parking space, which we did to go to dinner after contingency row closed on Fri-day, you lost forever. They were three deep with entrants working on their cars so we ended up park-ing on the sidewalk in front of the registration room. They just let anybody in. One Class 3 entrant was parked in such a way he took up the full length of his truck and trailer, about five spaces, but the hotel management claimed they could do nothing about the prob-lem. Besides, they had a man with a flashlight in the street directing the more traffic entering the con-gested parking lot, and no doubt some of them couldn't get out when they needed to early in the morning. After chasing down a set of towels once again, we managed to wiggle onto the sidewalk and park our small car under the lights and retire for the night. Through it all the hotel people were pleasant, but just shrugged at the problems. The hotel was full, mostly gringos, so they made a few months rent on the race · weekend with the special high pri-ces for the event. However, ranging a little afield, after the race we tried a long standing haunt for dinner, Georges, and were pleased to see those folks had not followed the high price route. Their prices were the same and the food as good as ever, and the service the best in Baja California. We. enjoyed fresh out of the water shrimp marinated in garlic butter with a full dinner for $6.95, the best bargain on the sea front if you like shrimp. The menu holds more seafood and everything from hamburger to a Porterhouse steak, all at reasonable cost. It, made up for the troubles at the hotel and restored our faith in San Felipe as a fine resort for ordinary folks. I guess you just need to get away from the beach hotels on a race weekend to be able to afford to attend the race. By the way, we are reluctant to name the offend-ing hotel, but it is on the water and the decor is blue and white, and if it was just half full you would still have trouble parking. So be fore-warned if you are traveling south. ** TORSION BARS **AXLES** SPRING PLATES ** COIL SPRINGS** .. .. en a: l1J 0 < a. "' w ..J X < .. .. en a: w J-en '::J -, C < .. .. en CJ z a: a.

So we will tell you who won what and next month you can enjoy complete coverage by Judy Smith and plentv of ohotos ofTrackside. At any rate the Trophy-Trucks started after the bikes, which Danny Hammel won overall as usual with a new partner. Then the Trophy-Trucks headed for the soggy Laguna Salada and Diab lo Dry lakes. As the race wore on Robby Gordon stayed on Larry Ragland's bumper all the way to the checkered flag in a Chevy. Robby was second in Trophy-Trucks, Rob MacCachren was third, both in Fords, Curt LeDuc fourth in a Jeep Grand Cherokee and Walker Evans got home fifth in his Dodge. Meanwhile the main race had started. Ed and Tim Herbst had their new Unlimited 2 seat car at the ready and they won Pro classes overall and beat the winning•bike by a couple of minutes, oddly enough both teams are from Las Vegas. Danny Porter and Mark Rudd is won Class 1-2-1600 in a Suspension Unlimited car. None of the Class 3s finished but Mike Jakobson won the competitive Class 5 honors. John Brindell and Howard Hughes took Class 5-1600 honors and Jeff Lewis won Class 7 in a Chevy S-10. Scott Steinberger and Larrr Plank repeated their Parker victory, winning Class 7S in the Ford Ranger and Sergio Nolasco was a most happy winner in his Class 8 Dodge. Class 9 went to Alfonso Lacarra and Eduardo Mayoral in a J imco and Larry Job went solo in the Mirage to win the huge Class 10 and placed tenth overall. Class 11 honors went to Victor Barajas and Larry Negrete and four out of six starting VW Beetles finished. Marc Stein and Chris Tartar won Stock Full class in a Ford, and also in a Ford Steve Williams and Charles Braden won Stock Mini Trucks. The full story will be coming at you in the next issue. RESULTS are in from the MTEG Seattle event in the Kingdome. In the Thunder Truck Class Rob MacCachren made it three in a row in the Rough Rider Ford, winning the first heat and the main event, which carried a $5,000.00 purse along with $15,000.00 in Ford contingency money, Rob had a good evening in Seattle. In Super 1600 action, Jerry Whelchel made series history in winning his record tying 24th main event. Casey Mears claimed his third career main event title in Super Lites driving a Nature's Recipe Briggsbuilt. Kyle Lewis took the UltraCross victory and Doug Eichner of Portland broke the southwest drivers hold on victory by winning the 4-Wheel ATV contest. We will have a full report in the next issue. MORE ON MTEG-Recent heavy rains that devastated the California coast in February and March caused MTEG to announce the cancellation of the Mickey Thompson Stadium Off Road Race scheduled for April 1 at the San Jose Spartan Stadium. "The fact that we've canceled our event pales in comparison to the adversity that the central California residents have endured the past couple of weeks," stated Danny Thompson, MTEG President. The storms brought record setting rain fall and major flooding to the central Californfa area, ruining many crops and forcing cancellation of several events including an NHL hockey game, NASCAR Supertruck race and a WWF wrestling event. Thompson also stated that a replacement venue would be added to the schedule. "We are looking at various sites and evaluating their potential. We will definite! y have an eight race season in 1995. The series resumes on April 22 in the Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas, NV. THE FINAL FLAG - Bob Hummel of Race Ready Products in the San Diego area sent a sad note reporting that off road racing has lost another pioneer in the sport. "On Sunday March 19th we lost another friend. Don Basore, patriarch leader of Basore Racing (sons Kevin, Duane and Kenneth) passed away after a long struggle with Leukemia. The Basores befriended me around nine years ago and have been family ever since. Don's leadership skills lent an air of professionalism to our sport. He inspired many of us to higher levels of expectation through his organization and preparedness. I'll toast Don with a New Year's shot of Cuervo and take pride in having been his friend . We'll miss ya Don(and say hi to Ellis(Cohen) forus). Along with this sincere tribute we too offer our sympathy to the Basore family and to all Don's friends. He will be missed . NEW RULES FOR CLASS 850 - In the movement to reduce the cost of racing a truck, several versions of back to stock full sized trucks have popped up in as many racing associations. ln their 1995-1996 Rule Book La Rana Desert Racing has a good set of rules, with a couple of trucks already competing in the class, one of them a new rig. Class850 is aimed at getting older trucks out of the back yard and back racing and full size two or four wheel drive units are eligible. The basic restrictions include a stock Steel Cab, Steel Operating doors, stock concept suspension front and rear and no seco~dary suspension. Front travel is limited to 14"', rear travel to 18"'. Three shocks per wheel, cannot exceed 40"' length or 2½ inches in diameter. Shock reservoirs cannot exceed shock body size with single line. Minimum dry weight is 4000 lbs. OEM three speed automatic or 3 or 4 speed standard trans. OEM rear differential third member. Contact Tom Haliburda at (714) 554-3300 or La Rana Desert Racing (619) 240-1335 for a rule book and any updates. If enough trucks get running it should be a fun class, and maybe will get good contingency monev. ONE FOR THE VCR -Former NASCAR Winston Cup Drivers will do battle at9 p.m. at Charlotte Motor Speedway on Friday May 19, the same night that current Winston Cup competitors will seek the pole position for the next evening's Winston Select, the annual "all-star" race of the Winston Cup series. R.J. Reynolds and the Winston brand are celebrating in 1995 their 25th anniversary as the umbrella sponsor of the NASCAR Winston Cup Series. "We are very proud to be celebrating our 25th anniversary in the world's most popular form of motorsports,'' said T . Wayne Robertson, president of RJR 's Sports Marketing Enterprises." And by sponsoring the Winston Legends race at Charlotte Motor Speedway, we want to honor the people who provided the backbone of this sport for those 25 years . . This is the second Winston Legends race to be contested. The first, in 1991, was won by Elmo Langley, who currently serves as the pace car driver at NASCAR Winston Cup Series events. Langley is one of several drivers who already have committed to compete in the 1995 Winston Legends race. Some of the others are 1983 Winston Cup champion Bobby Allison and his brother, Donnie, a ten time event winner. Others include Buck Baker, Pete Hamilton, Neil "Soapy" Castles and Richard Childress, currently the owner Dale Earnhardt's racing cars. The Winston Legends will run after the Winston Select (7 p.m.) and Winston Select Open ( 6 p.m.). These races and the Legend are all out sprints and young and old drivers show the skills that made them famous quickly. The press release doesn't say when or on what channel 1t will be televised, but it surely will be televised. V Dusty Times

This is a fun event, it is not racing, just a day of driving through the desert, and some wildflowers will still be blooming THE COD RA BEAR BUTTE 300 will be coming to Central Oregon out of Bend on April 29, the second in this keen series in the Northwest. The Millican 250 opened the season in less than perfect weather on March 11 with faithful sponsors/Supporters BFGoodrich, VP Racing Fuels and Rhino Linings already on board. The full story will be in the next issue. Meanwhile the First Open driver and first overall was Todd Francis of Vancouver, WA. The first 1600 and second overall was Anthony Schwab ofTacoma, WA. First in Heavy Metal was Tom Scahill of San Rafael, CA and the first Sportsman Vet was John Huffman of Seattle, WA. One Sportsman Novice was entered and decided to run Sportsman Vet. Brad Standiford finished third in Vets and could have finished second had he not stopped for a potty break, ate a sandwich and had five minutes of BS with his frantic crew. Talk about laid back! There were no Sportsman Trucks. RAMPAGE RACING off road truck team announced recently that veteran driver Rob MacCachren will pilot its SODA Class 4 and Heavy Metal ford truck for the 1995 season. MacCachren is a championship desert racer and has previously competed in SODA racing as well. He also drives in the Mickey Thompson series, last year in a Grand National Ford and this year in a Ford F-150 in the Thunder Truck Division. To date Rob has won all three events completed in the series. Rob, 29, is a native of Las Vegas, NV. He is reigning SCORE Trophy-Truck champion and prior to that he put together back to back Class 8 championships. He holds seven outright off road truck victories and was the 1987 SCORE Driver of the Year. He had raced off road vehicles tor nearly half his life and professionally for the past six years. MacCachren replaces Chad Schlueter as the Rampage Racing hot shoe. Schlueter, 22, a World Champion driver and team owner of Rampage Racing, was killed in a hit and run accident near his home in Howell, MI during the Christmas holidays and his family continues to run the race team. Dennis Schlueter thanked Jim Venable, team owner of Venable Racing, MacCachren 's main sponsor in the west, in both Trophy-Trucks in the desert and Thunder Trucks in the stadiums for his support in engaging MacCachren as Rampage Racing's SODA driver. It will make a busy summer for Rob MacCachren as the SODA season gets under way Memorial Day weekend, and they race every two weeks all summer long and into fall. Rob will still run the SCORE/TECATE TROPHY TRUCK Series and the Mickey Thompson Stadium Series, which will probably be extended past June. There is extra incentive for Rob in SODA. Along with planning to repeat in the World Series of Off Road Racing as SODA Class 4 Champion, repeat as 4x4 World Champion and with it capture the inaugural Borg-Warner World Championship Off Road Race Trophy and the $25,000 winner-take-all prize. AMERICAN RACING EQUIPMENT is doing a "World Expedition in March, probably over when you read this. A six member team will journey to a region referred to as one of the least explored areas of the world, the Patagonian Region of South America. The main objective of the expedition is to generate world wide awareness of our custom wheels. The 1600 mile expedition will begin in the city of Conception, Chile and travel south into Argentina. The team will travel through rivers, frozen jungles ( yes it's winter there), fjords, mountain passes, glaciers and farm lands of Chile and Argentina, concluding in the Chilean national park of"Torres de! Paine" a few hundred miles north of Antarctica. The team drivers are 1994 SCORE Class 8 Champion Brian Stewart, Chilean off road champion Alex Briones and a rising star of off road racing Darren Skilton. The crew also includes professional Chilean outdoor photographer Nicolas Recordon, American Racing Equipment Motorsports Manager Jim Dindinger and Greg Grasmehr, Associate Editor of Four Wheeler Magazine. The vehicles being put to the test are two modified Jeep Wranglers and a 1995 Jeep Grand Chrokee from Don-A-Vee Jeep in Bellflower, CA. They feature the new AR-36 wheels and Goodyear's high performance Wrangler RT/Sand Wrangler GS-A tires. We hope to get a story on the adventures encountered on the trek by one of the above. Surely they are in a hot tub somewhere at this writing. EGG ON FACE DEPT. Last month we incorrectly identified the author of the Adelanto CRS Rally Sprint meet. We credited our regular correspondent John Elkin with the story, when in fact, the author was Harris Done, a champion rally driver and now a good author.

'The Straight Poop' From the Big Wahzoo PREZ 250 -This 4 lap La Rana Barstow race had some beautiful 80 degree southern California weather to race in. Six Checker pits also enjoyed the sunshine as they shepherded six Checker cars around a 63 mile loop. Fred Nel-son, the defending Class Points Champion, was the first 'stock' class truck across the finish line. But he was scored in second place when his class was combined with another. Good show Fred! Larry Bolin once again ran up near the front all day long and had a good duel with Greenway's CORE ride before ending up with another third in Class 10 and third overall. Billy McCool finally got his 1-2-1600 car across the finish line after a long absence from that area. The team was run-ning right up there until they suf-fered some down time for a bat-ti alt problem. Despite a fine third place finish, 'Handsome Billy' was reportedly bummed to learn his non-Checker co-driver had actu-ally turned a faster lap than our hero in his own car. Hmm? Hey Billy, if ya start makin' a habit of that crap, I'm gonna start ·puttin' your lap times in these reports. Good Run Guys! The Kreps: Brothers had a solid run going in their new 1-2-1600 car until they broke a stub axle, which dropped them back to about 6th at the finish. Although Frank impressively kept the car upright this race, there was some concern about his well being out on the course when he suddenly started screaming unintelligibly over the radio, something he's done before. This time it kinda sounded like Lorena Bobbitt had somehow jumped on the side of his buggy and was slashin' away at him with a knife. As a newer and very big Checker, Frank is still obviously being cut a little slack by the pitters with regard to this irritating radio manner. Hey Frank, you'll be able to tell when the pitters have finally had enough, they'll start snippin' big pieces off your antenna. They tell me that at about 3 inches "outta sight" & "off the air" are about one in the same, but ya might want to double check this with Seeley. Our only DNF this race was the Duenas/BJ entry w'1en Mikey had to park his 1-2-1600 car with a bunch of problems after two laps. Hey Frank, look on the bright side dude, ya dusted the hell out of BJ this race! The following story is proof positive that anyone can survive stupidity with a little luck. It also bolsters the argument against using non-Checker co-drivers. Danny Reider's effort this race fell a little short of a win when his shifter broke, and then he lost the YOU HAVE BEEN ASKING . . . WE HAVE BEEN LISTENING use of two gears after repairs were made. Despite these problems our Class 5 Points Champ charged ahead for a fine second place fin-ish in Class 5. Good run Champ! At some point during this run, Danny's non-Checker co-driver and passenger team had s·ome really exciting down time. Seems this pair was runnin' along fine, and climbing up a rocky trail in the foothills, when the engine unexpectedly quit. Then, while trying to get the Baja Bug off the race course, they got the front end hung up on a rock. Naturally, the passenger was first sent out to try lifting up on the front end. But, he just couldn't quite lift it high enough to clear the snag; almost, but not quite. I think it was about here that these two non-Checkers simultaneously went temporarily brain dead, as the driver put the car in neutral and got out to help. You only have to close your eyes to visualize these two goofs now easily lifting the front end up high enough to free the car, which immediately starts to roll back down the trail... Duh! After a few yards of dirt surfin' off the front bumper of this run-away Baja Bug, these clowns finally let go and helplessly watched Danny's pride and joy roll back down the trail and then disappear off the side of the hill. As it picked up speed, they said it looked a lot like a big bug tryin' to take off, ''with the doors and roof flappin' and all." ■ ■ I TORSION BARS ARE HERE! 300 M & Intermediate Grade Material.

Page 10 May 1995 When these two non-Checkers finally ventured down to view the expected wreckage, they found that despite careening off the side of the hill, it had amazingly not hit anything on it's way to the bottom of the canyon and simply rolled to a stop ... undamaged. And to be really sickeningly lucky, when they tapped the starter the engine fired right up and ran like there'd never been a problem. After swearing each other to secrecy, they got in and buckled up, ''obviously no problem here'', and went on back to racin'. BA TES @ FUDS - If you were illegally runnin' on the race course in a chase truck, who would be the last person you'd like to see coming up through the dust in your rear view mirror? Koch, Bolin, Chase, McCool, BJ, the Prez.??? Well, OK, maybe this is not the easiest of questions, but here's a story about one jerk who's positive that 01' Man Bates belongs on that list. Driving his tandem, Gary is busy fighting a shifting problem and starting to slide back from the leader when he sees what's caus-ing the unusually thick dust that he's been in for the last mile ... a new full size crew cab pickup chasin' on the course. Hey, ya know that look those Jap sub commanders got in the old movies when they fired off their torpedoes, well, that was Bates when he finally got a clean run at this guy. With his wife screaming at him over the rear seat intercom, Bates jammed the tranny back into 4th gear and blasted this yahoo in the ass doin' over 60. After the collision, this born again believer promptly pulled his now seriously deformed vehicle off the course and high-tailed it, giving Gary the road. Master Bates said he hit 'em so hard he thought he might wind up in the truck's bed. Chase crews runnin' the course are kinda like taggers, hard to catch, but fun to punish when ya do. Bates, with a now badly smashed front bumper, continued on for a third place fin-ish in Class 1-2-1600. Way ta go Gary! SAN FELIPE 250 - Six Checker cars ran this SCORE Baja event, where it rained in the morning then the wind blew like hell and cleared· it out during the race. Sprinklerman fell just a couple of minutes short of backing up his bir, Parker win in Class 10. As usual, Kevin brought the rain with him and the team was fighting for the lead right from the get go. Kevin Davis, second place in Class 10, and sixth overall. George Seeley ~nee again raced his borrowed Baja Bug, affection- . ately known as "The Muffler Tubing Special", and ran it hard enough to earn a third place in Class 5. Good Run Guys! We had 3 DNFs as follows: Koch ran his big Porsche rocket · but had some handling problems and finally parked it at about the halfway point when the tranny blew. Stuart Chase started in his type 4 pre-run buggy, but inten-tionally only went to the first pit before turning it over to Billy Robertson for some seat time, with Tony Tellier ridin' camera. Sadly, the tranny let go out on the loop section and parked this Checker trio. Mike started the Harman's fancy Class 10 buggy and was really kickin' ass, reportedly the fourth car on the road heading out onto the loop section, and then he had a flat tire. What followed next was not a pretty picture. There was a stuck jack; an excellent Frank Kreps: radio impression; three hours downtime; and a nap. After his crew finally made it out to his location, and showed Mike how to operate the jack, they were way too late to continue on. Mike did finally get out of the team dog house after he experienced an unexpected financial windfall, and then wisely spent it all on the crew while partyin' into the night down at the Rockadile. Definitely a smart move Bro. And, last but not least, Walter Prince finished this race as the second place car in the Open Sportsman Class. Walter proba-bly should have been the lead story in this race report since he had a lot of early problems on the way to his second place finish. Things like an engine that wouldn't idle and a Checker pit rebellion at his first stop. Seems Files, who thinks the Candyman is a user and not worthy of being considered an off road racer, vowed not to pit him this race. And then, when Prince pulled into Files' pit, a who's who Checker pit crew stood by and watched as big John chased him out of Checker # 1 ! Humm? Hey Walter, might this be a good indi-cation that your candy cane shit isn't funny anymore? Obviously, a Checker Pit Captain should pit every Checker entry, and the wheels of Checker justice are now surely in motion to insure that remains the case. But sadly, th is will probably get uglier before it's resolved. AND FINALLY, and on a little lighter note, Bob Utgard Motors-ports Promotions has recently expanded into the bail bonds bus-iness.

FAIR News By Dave Massingham Here it is almost the middle of the year and La Rana racers are still outnumbering the SCORE entries. Looks like La Rana will have a good year, hope SCORE has the same. Now for the race results from La Rana Presidential 250 Feb 18th. FAIR fielded 17 entries with six finishing. Max Vialobos and Harry Dunne finished fourth in Class 9 . Not bad for a car that had not raced for a year or two. Harry dusted off the old car, tuned it up and they went racing. Way to go Harry, I told Rich you knew what you were doing. Rich Fersch managed an eighth place in Class 10. We all expect Rich to finish in the top three, due to his expert prep job. As Rich puts it, don't touch my car in the pits, other than gas and go. If you have to work on it, then you haven't done a good prep job. Rich was running neck and neck with Jerry Penhall for first place on the first three laps. Then steer-ing became a problem, losing the key in the rack. After a long repair job, Rich was able to finish, just barely. At the finish line, Rich lost fourth gear and had a flat. Good example of a FAIR member who never quits. Chris and Scott Duncan finally managed a sixth place finish. It's been a long haul for this family effort in off road racing. I didn't get any other details, maybe I can get a phone call next time about how they did. Wes Wisdom and Sons race team finished tenth in Class 1-2-1600. This is still a new car to them, having several prob-lems creating lots of down time. This is another family effort, that pays off more than just finishing the race. When they go racing they make a weekend of it, having a party after the race. Kathy and sister Stacy Fay, what else, fi.rst in Class 1500. Having no down time as usual and no flats on their BFG's. Hey Jim, what's next for these two young ladies? This is another family affair, racing not only the desert, they also race Mickey Thompson Stadium races and do well. Olson Simplythe Best!

Running in fourth place on the third lap, a flat tire put them behind in this very tight class. Then, about 20 miles before the finish, motor problems put them out. Bob Plas-con DNF'ed in Class 1-2-1600. On the second lap Bob did a no no in off road racing, he crashed hard. Doing a 3x roll over, losing his glasses and ring & pinion, he was out. Hey Bob, testing for that fine line? Now you know where it is. Steve Poole, DNF Class 9. All I heard was Steve did a big time crash five miles into the race. Steve was also testing. Frank Omboli finished second in Class 5-1600, then receiving a letter the week after the race, he was DQed. Seems Frank has raced lots ofLa·Rana and SCORE races with a boost bottle. He was told by Eddie Castro "all SCORE legal cars are Jegal for La Rana." Hey Eddie, what's legal in 5-1600?? We have been told other cars are running the boost bottle with no problem. Was this a fair way to DQ? Why wasn't it done at the race? Was this a just penalty for a small infraction? It is still unclear, until we see a new rule book for 1995196. Danny Drake: DNF 5-1600. Danny took his new car for the first time, after replacing the entire cage and body. Running in the front, dicing with Frank Omboli, on the fourth lap he lost the trans. Dick W eyhrich: DNF Class 10. Coming all the way from Oregon, Dick broke a trans, changed it and finished only two laps. Tom Mangione: DNF Class 10. Tom also crashed very hard, doing a big endo. After spending two hours repairing, he tried to finish. It wasn't in the cards for Tom, losing a rear wheel, having several flats and motor problems. Hal Hibbard: DNF Class 10. Having motor problems at the start line, Hal decided not to start and put it on the trailer. · Mitch Griffin: DNF Class 10. Mitch took his beautiful brand new Jimco single seat out for the first time. On the third lap he lost the trans. Mitch said it will take some time getting used to driving Class 10. After being in a Class 5-1600, its a big change. Mike Rebolledo: DNF Class 5-1600. Gary Bancroft and Garth Hutchison started at mile 58 in the sand wash, lost a motor. I wonder if this was driver abuse or just a sick motor. Just kidding Gary, Garth said you did a good job driving. George Perret: DNF Desert Stock. George is a new member to be. Hope I can talk to him at a meeting and get some more information on this new member. Thanks to our new member, Jeff Madrid for making the Rew FAIR banners and flags. I was told they work great. The flags are att-ached to the radio antennas with plastic zip ties and show up for miles. Also, thanks to all the pit crews. Danny Drake wants to thank pit C for the welding. WR racing was pitting and not racing, we need more help from all the racers when you are not racing. You do earn credits for it. The BBQ was a success and we plan to have one after every La Rana race. Each racer puts in an additional $10.00, our Prez Bob Steinberger puts everything together. Brian Parkhouse is loan-ing us his big BBQ. Anyone inter-ested in helping Bob do the shop-ping or donating salads, chips, etc., let him know. The SCORE San Felipe race on March 11th saw seven FAIR entries and only one finisher. Scott Steinberger and Larry Plank took first in Class 7S. Larry Plank took the start duties, doing a fine job. Handing the truck to Scott at Borrego with a five minute lead. Scott went on to a 24 minute lead for first in class and 21st overall. Way to go Scott and Larry. Weyhrich: DNF Class ·10. He lost a trans 15 miles before the finish; what a hell of a way to DNF. Steve Poole: DNF Class 10. Steve lost a motor, no other details. Frank and Tom Rusich: DNF Class 1-2-1600. They also lost a motor. This was the second race for last year's class champs, both have been DNFs. Brian Parkhouse: DNF Class 10. Brian also lost a motor at mile marker 30. Olson Bros: DNF Class 1-2-1600. Milt Moore from Colorado, DNF. It came to our attention that Darnen Jefferies was DQed after winning Class 9. We understand it was for running an aftermarket fan shroud. is this a just penalty for such a small infraction? Darnen won the class last year with the same shroud. it was also reported that car 914, who won the class after Darnen was DQed, was observed on the powu line 1, ,ad. This was reported to RLH, who reported to SCORE officials, and nothing was done about it. FAIR feels a warning was more appropriate than DQ. Our guest at the March 15th meeting was Elaine from Jimmy's Signs. They are located at 8604 Norwalk Blvd., Whittier. The tel-ephone number is (310) 692-2716, fax 692-3344. They do a wide variety of banners, vehicle hand painted and com1-1uter gra-phics to silk screening and embroidery. FAIR is looking into new T-shirts and decals from Jimmy's. They offer assistance in design and layouts. They hand paint helmets to match your car and trailer. Thanks to Elaine for the information: Don't forget July is election month, anyone interested in run-ning for an office, let Bob Stein-berger know. Also Bob Stein-berger is looking for your driver's profile and an S"xlO" picture for our scrap book. Anyone interested in joining FAIR, we meet the first and third Wednesday of each month, 8 p.m. at the Holiday Inn, located at the 91 Freeway and Harbor Blvd. in Fullerton.

Kevin said that he and car #204 had fun playing tag most of the day. They will get the bugs out and be ready for the next race in Ridgecrest. Third place goes to Larry Bolin who took third in class and third overall. Larry is not a real talka-tive fellow at the finish line, so unless something really spectacu-lar happened, he doesn't have a lot_ to say. He did say however, that he' needs to update the sus-pension on his 10 year old car. He said there were some water prob-lems on the first lap and that he is going to try some new Sway-A-Ways next race. Other than a worn out suspension system, Larry said he had no problems other than a little water on the first lap. glad that the first Class 1600 over the line was his and that also put him fourth overall. I still say that in the not to distant future, a 1600 car will take the overall. There was only a 16 minute time differential between Shane and first place. First place in Class 150, 200 and 800 combined went to Clay Bintz in car #204. He had a few problems that kept him further back in the pack than he would have liked. He lost two power steering belts and had one flat. I don't quite know how, but he lost the spare he was carrying on the car and the mount went with the tire. Could it be some welds broke! He had to do the wrench-ing on the belts himself, but man-aged to radio his crew to come help change the flat. Second place in the 1600's was the Jon Kennedy and Mike San-doval team. Mike drove the first two laps and said they were just perfect. When Jon got in to take the last two laps, he had a rear flat and had to put a front tire on just .. long enough to get him to the next pit so the pit crew could switch things around and put everything where it belonged. After that, everything went just fine and he kept the hammer down and beat third place finisher Billy McCool by just two minutes, so I know that must have been quite a race. Jon's last lap was 1:12:32 and Bil-ly's was 1: 12:23; how's that for close? Jon's third lap was three minutes faster than Billy's. Other than that, they were only seconds apart on the rest of the laps. Billy's co-driver was Drew Keys, who took the first two laps. Their main trouble was a dead battery. The car stalled going up a mount-tain and had to get a push to get the car fired up again and climb the mountain. I would expect that there were some spectators in the area that were glad to give them a hand. Once again when they were changing drivers, the car refused to start and the crew gave it a good shove out of the pit. I think they said that it stalled once more after that.

} ,,A._~.-::-. Marc and Rick Deshane were third in Class 5-1600, saying they had one flat and blew out first gear, but it was only the first time out for the car and it finished, a good performance. Tom and Mike Barnett were the fastest in the two car Class 850, his Jeep pickup finishing all four laps in 8:12:15. -~ ,A. . -Barry Bates and Mike Pennell beat the other Class 6 Chevy by well over an hour and they turned good times to win the class in this sedan that looks like a trophy-truck. Jamie Davenport and Richard Boyle all took turns at bringing the second place Class 500 car to the checkered flag. Danny says that they were leading until the shift shaft broke on the third lap, which took the nose cone off the tranny and lost 1st and 3rd gears. They got i:o a pit where the neces-sary welding could be done to give them 2nd and 4th gears and made do with these two gears. They got the Class 500 championship last year and are hoping to do it again in '95. They wanted to thank Motion Tire for the money and the tires to keep racing; they helped make it all happen. Class 600 was another class that had two starters and two fin-ishers. I only got to talk to Barrv., Bates who got first place, becaus~ he finished in 6:28:35 and Jim Patelli took a little over eight hours to complete his four laps, so I would say that his day did not go really well. His second lap was a three hour lap, so that looks like where the problem(s) occurred. IJlr down the road. Then a plug wire kept coming off so they had to keep stopping to shove it back in place. They did make it through the day with no flats and said that it was a rough course and they were glad to see the finish line. The face of Lynn Mocaby was smiling at me out of car #519, and since there were no other five cars around at the moment, I deduced that he was smiling because he won his class and was just waiting for his turn to be interviewed. He said that he got lost on the first lap and went about 10 miles before he got back where'he belonged and started easing his way through the pack. He drove the whole race himself and said that the second lap was a little faster. He got hit twice which he wasn't too happy about, one time he was trying to pass a 5-1600 on the right and had plenty ofroom to do so when a 10 car went right in between them and ran over his left tire and wheel and the other guy's right tire and wheel. It all happened so fast and unexpected that he did not get the Page 16 car number of the culprit. It would seem that was totally unne-cessary. Couldn't the guy have waited a few seconds until the pass was completed and then do his passing? Besides that, Lyn said that he had a newly damaged nose from some new glasses he wore for the first time in a race. His helmet was pounding the top of his glasses into his nose for three laps and when the pain kind of got to him, he stopped and put some padding into the top of his helmet to kind of keep the helmet up, up and away. The team of Danny Reider, Barry always has something interesting to say and today was no exception. He says they got to the race at 5:00AM and had no sleep in two days and it didn't go real smooth after he got to the race either. From what I can decypher from my scribbling, it looks like he lost 2nd gear, then Barry Slatter, with Vince Bishop riding in the Ford Ranger was alone in Class 7, combined for purse with Classes 6, 4, 850 and maybe more, but topped them all on time winning the class, of course, but also all the cash. ... ;, ,,,,., ;;.,;..; Todd and Scott Johnson won Class 9 by half an hour, besting 11 others, and here they zip past the 1600 of Mike Duenas.

They only got in two whole laps; the third lap was the end of the day for the. team. Jeff said that his first lap was really good and decided to pull over before pit D and do some torsion bar adjusting as the car seemed to be sagging a bit. That took about 10 minutes, then got going again and had a really good second lap, but that's when the good news ends. Brother Tom got in the car by pit A on the third loop and got going when some pretty nasty whoops appeared by Hodge Road and Tom and Ross • Myers endoed the car about five · times. When they finally came to a rest on the hood of the car, Ross had some cracked ribs and a very broken car. Jeff says they are going to cut off what didn't break off or get mangled beyond recog-nition and get the car ready for the next race in Ridgecrest in a few months. They said this was a pretty rough course and just mis-judged it a bit. . My next phone call was from Wes Wisdom who finished 10th in class and wanted us to know why. He says son Scott drove the first lap and had no troubles but I think it was the second lap that .loomed overhead with troubles in the form of a broken tranny mount. This caused about a one and a half hour delay but FAIR got them fixed and on their way again. Wes wanted to thank them for the help. It's nice to know that there are such great guys out there willing to help someone they may not even know. Phone call number three was Rob Bristol who used to be a checkpoint dude for La Rana and thought that the racers were hav-ing too much fun and the workers could only race vicariously. He has been working on changing that for the last few years. He was the driver of record for car number 211 and managed to get second place in class out of four starters. Only two finished the required four laps. Rob started the race with co-rider George Green and had a good first lap, but on the second lap things started to go wrong when the. car started blowing oil all over the place in a really big w:iy. They had to stop or take a chance on blow-ing the motor. They waited for about a half hour for teammate Charles Walty in car number 1652 to come along and they bor-rowed a quart of oil from him so that they could get an oil pressure reading, at least, and continued on to where they could get three more quarts. They had to keep stopping every few miles for more oil. John Miller got behind the wheel for the third and fourth laps, and besides the oil probleMs, he had a flat to contend with.

California Rally Series By John Elkin We started off the 1995 CRS Season in Adelanto, with a pair of rallysprints. These events taught a lot of us something. First, rally drivers make really bad oval track drivers, with some exceptions. · And second, a change in venue made for an exciting new format in CRS rallysprints. Next time we visit the Sunrise Valley Raceway we will use what we learned this last time to make a stage that holds together even better than this last time and we will utilize more of the "oval only" stages to save wear and tear on the rest of the stage. Speaking of competition many CRS competitors have been branching out in their quest for more events. In February the Doo Wop I & II Rallies were held and the CRS had a very good pres-ence. Bill Nation was fixed up with Portland rally driver Erik Thompson as his navigator/ driv-ing instructor. The pair won their class in both events with Bill's stock Mazda RX-7. Jake Dekovic and Mike Blore, two CRS trans-plants to the Northwest, teamed to win the Class 4 title for 1500cc and under cars, in both events. Jake has purchased the ex-Topi Toyota Starlet. Dr. Dave White. and John Elkin teamed in Dave's VW GTI to take a fourth and third overall and in Class I in each event. Jay Priestley and Kevin , Caffery had an unfortunate rol-lover in stage one. CRS adopted navigator Ben Bradley teamed with local driver Rick Beson to overall the first event, but in event two they rolled the Mazda Protege 4 WO in stage two. In March-the Doo Wop series concluded in Washington with a very good sized CRS contingent. Here is how we all fairedr Bill Nation and Erik Thompson again stormed through the Class 3 field and won both events, also giving them the Class Championship for the Doo Wop series. Thompson will stay in the car for the Washington National in April and probably Rim of the World. Dr. Dave White brought Jimmy Brandt out from Michigan to nav-igate and the pair finished well in the divisional and took second place in National Group 2. Jake Dekovic and Mike Blore DNF'd Doo Wop III, but came back to win the next day in class. Matt Sweeney and his Giant Woman, Lucinda, were running well in Group 2 until the oil filter gasket failed on the Toyota truck causing a DNF for day one. They repaired the truck and had fun on day two with an uneventful run. Jay Pries-tley and Kevin Caffery had high hopes of doing well this time, unfortunately their fuel pump packed it in on stage one leaving the team with limited time on the Washington roads in two attempts. Bill Malik and Roine Andersson brought up the Volvo and did very well in Class 2 and in National Group 2 with a trouble-free run. Chad Dykes and Pat Hanson debuted their new Toy-ota pickup for Group 2. They did well through two stages but ·then DNF'd on stage three when Chad· lau·nched the truck off the road and damaged the nose of the car. Chr,is Griffin was calling the book for none other than Henry Joy who entered his Eclipse; the pair won fourth in National Open class. Rui Brasil and John Elkin hauled the Audi to Washington and did very well taking a second overall in day one, the overall win in day two divisional and third overall and in Open Class in the National behind Peter Moodie and Carl Merrill. They also tied for overall best time with Merrill on stage two of day one. The wee-kend was not entire I y trouble free as on stage three of day one the pair tagged a tree, re-arranging some drivers rear sheet metal. At the Glen Helen Rallycross Series it was a three car affair with Lon Peterson and Tony Schu-maker runnine 2WD Turbo Eclipses versus Dan Hook in his Toyota Celica. The Eclipses were fast but sometimes tast is not enough; with three laps to go Shumaker popped a CV joint and was out, then the next lap Peter-son rolled the Eclipse, allowing Hook the proverbial tortoise and hare victory story. To finish first, you must first finish. Congrats Dan. Plans are progressing well for this year's Rim of the World Rally. You should already have your entry forms, if not call Mike and Paula at (619) 375-8704. This year we are looking at 13 total stages over two days. Night one is a co-efficient two divisional with five stages. Day two is a co-efficient three with eight stages, all stages co mbined make up the National portion. The same phone number above works if you wish to volunteer as a worker or radio person if you are quali-fied. This year's Rim features Terry "Terrdog" Stonecipher as the guest organi:er to help Mike and Paula. Changes are happening in the CRS. Here is what we know: After his stint as Rim organizer, Terrdog will be navigating Robert Tallini. For Rim, Tallini will take Jeff Bruett for a ride on the bumpy side. Tony Chave: has purchased the Shumaker Eclipse from Dave Wolin, painted it ultra bright yel-low and will be burning retinas at Rim with his paint job. Dennis Chi:ma will be debuting his new-est creation at the Wild West National, a Mitsubishi 3000GT; John Moore is navigating. Look for the car at Rim also. A planned event for the Lake Arrowhead area has been halted by local forest officials. No date has been scheduled for the Tree-line Rally nor a new area announced yet, look for a possi-ble early August date for the Dan Hook/Lon Peterson organizing machine. Ray Hocker and Lynette Alli-son are planning an assault on the Wild West National in Washing-ton this month. This will be the first time Ray has driven the north wet ( not a typo) roads since winning his class in Group B competition at the WRC Round Olympus Rally in 1986 with the late and much missed Bill Moore. navigating in the Honda CRX. Tony Chavez reminds everyone to make sure your cars are con-forming to the new stock class rules for 1995. Stock class inspec-tion at Rim of the World will be posted as to time and place on the official notice board, you must be present to qualify to run in stock or performance stock. If you have questions regarding legality of your rally car call Tony days ,it (310) 906-2637. Our CRS Director, Debbie Turner, is looking for new ideas on marketing and making the CRS more visible to the public. If you have a function, meeting, car show, or event you think we could get a CRS booth together for please call Debbie at (909) 925-0870 evenings. As we look straight into the upcoming Rim of the World Rally let's all remember that the National's best are coming to our home turf. Let's shine our cars and show the National guys why the CRS is one of the best groups of divisional competitors around. There seems to be a larger number of press and media people coming to this year's event from as far as Portugal and as close as the Los Angeles Times.

His phone number is 292-4474 and his shop is just west off the Centerville exit off the 1-15. When you need auto parts you need to see Steve Hoel-lein at Felt Auto of Ogden.

Bob and Mike Flinn are good for almost any parts and Mike is our local dealer for Yokohama Tires. He has a new set of fronts and more rears com-ing in soon. We can never over-look the work that Les Wolfe does in his shop in Sunset. If he's got it and you need it, likely it's yours. Our technical director is Jay Stuart and the help Jay has provided to many of you can hardly be measured. Engines and transmissions built by Jay have carried many of your cars to the checkered flag. There are more firms and individuals who sup-port us and we say to you ... sup-port those who help us, Technical Dept. Updates Our emphasis has always been to advise you build to SCORE rules because you can then race on almost any association race. Our disagreement with SCOitE is their frequent fiddling with the rules to make cars obsolete or overly expensive. Two years ago they changed the 1-2-1600 rules from 1350 and 1500 pounds "wet" to 1550 dry weight. The 2-1600 cars were able to go with a 24mm restrictor plate while the 20mm plate was kept for the 1-1600 cars. We elected to stay with the old rule as did SNORE and others. However, SNORE recently made some changes, so to be more in line with SNORE and La Rana, and closer to SCORE we will make the following changes: 1-Both 1 and 2-1600 ars must weigh 1550 pounds "wet" with a 20 gallon limit on fuel to meet weight. 2-Single seat cars will use the 20mm restrictor plate. 3-Two seat cars may drill out the old 21 mm plate to 23mm (718n). We will not run 24mm plates. These changes in Class 1-2-1600 will make the differences less between associations. Adapt-ing a car to race elsewhere or for one coming to B.O.R.E. should be easier. Example: A car at the old 1500# wet limit would have to gain SO# in 1995, and to race a SCORE race would have to gain the additional amount to offset the fuel which SCORE does not weigh. The technical officials thought long and hard before this decision was made. While it is a May 1995 compromise, it puts it more in line, and will keep both single and two seat cars quite competitive. It has been pointed out that we strayed from the long-standing rule of the B.O.R.E. Sportsman class for the "almost a race car and/ or beginner drivers." This was to prevent domination of a beginner class by either a pro driver or a pro car. In 1995 we will have cars equal to a class and/ or experienced drivers enter the pro classes they fit into. At this point we plan to keep our goals of not creating any more changes than we absolutely have to. Classes in 1995 will remain 10, 1-2-1600, 5-1600, 9, Mini Metal, Heavy Metal, and Sportsman. · Hopefully, we may at some time draw enough unlimited cars to make a class. At present, we have one ready and waiting, a pos-sible from Elko, a California inquiry, and not many others. So, if you know of an unlimited car, tell them we need them. Speaking of unlimited cars, I might mention that the Nevada 400 (formerly the Mint 400) is coming up the 29th of April in Vegas. This is a good chance to watch cars of any class. At this time there are two entries from B.O.R.E. scheduled to run. I am told that Ken Jenson is planning on entering his 10 car. Mike Flinn and Mike Baker have joined for-ces to enter the Baker 1-1600 car. This race normally draws a number of you to watch and if you plan to go this year, why not get in touch with one of these teams to see if you might help in a B.O.R.E. pit. The race this year will be run south of Vegas, start-ing in Jean, Nevada. At this time it seems the tech and contingency will be held in Jean and there is pretty good spectating out in that area. At this time of year we have pretty well exhausted any reserves we have toward sending the new-sletters. To help put some nuts back in the nest, send your mem-bership application for 1995 renewal. If you can see your way clear to join now, we would appreciate it. Also included is a sample copy of the "advertising page" which has been upgraded and improved. The income from the advertising page was a real help with printing costs last year. Business card size ads and double sized ads are available. All I need to put your business on the page is a good card and a check. While my name is Jim Baker I plead no association with the other Jim and Tammy Fae ... or any of the others who continually ask for money. Generating funds is the least fun thing I have to do with B.O.R.E. so jump right in and help me out. While on the subject of money I wonder how many of you read the Soapbox article in the March '95 Dusty Times. It is a well writ-ten "promotional" for the Whi-plash Motorsports Unlimited of the Phoenix area. The jist of it is pointed at low entries and higher percentage paybacks. I applaud them for everything except the fact that B.O.R.E. charges less and pays ·you back over 65% plus we have been laying a $200 cash bonus on every class winner for two years now. (I suspect that might increase our payback to something over 7 5%.) They charge $350 for pro entries, we charge $320, and we both pay back $225 . I just thought a good promotiqnal article like that opened the door for us to brag a little bit about B.O.R.E. too! On the other hand, maybe we ought to raise our entry fees ... Naaah. We'll just stay the best we can be and everyone can have fun. It really isn't too early to put out the "Hiring" sign. It looks like we will be needing some more helpers this year. It doesn't pay much, but you do get in free, and • sometimes you even get a seat on the SO yard line. We will be need-ing several extra workers at the Jackpot race due to highway crossings. Plus, the extended course require.s more workers. If you feel you can commit to help-ing at on_e or more of the events, please get i11 touch with me. If it weren't for the racers we wouldn't have races ... but if it weren't for the workers, we wouldn't be able to even stage a race. I need to have your name, address and phone number, and an idea of when and how you can help. Believe me, your help will be appreciated. Each year we have hoped to have the computer program improved to the point of keeping track of details better. I think we have come to that point. Vern Potter really helped to upgrade the hardware, Lloyd installed some excellent software, and Chris has worked hard to get the program to do the thi-ngs needed, like keeping track of Dusty Times subscriptions, mailing lists with phone numbers, and a host of other details that we frequently use. When we receive your mem-bership applications you will have given us the data we need to serve you better. I am sorry for any of you who have been "short-changed" in the past with newslet-ters, Dusty Times or anything else. One of the things we have need for is a current, accurate list for mailing newsletters.We now mail over 170 letters and almost always get two or three back with faulty address data. If you have a crewmember, friend, or know of somebody who should be getting our letter, but isn't, then let us know in writing with all necessary details. Of course, the priority is members first, sponsors second, and then to interested parties. If you are not a member nor a spon-sor, then a note to let us know you still want to receive the newslet-ters will keep you on the mailing list. Several of you have asked about hotel or motel accommoda-tions. We have blocked rooms at Cactus Pete's Tower for $60 and the Horseshoe for $55. Their phone number is 800-821-1103. Ask for the B.O.R.E. or Bonne-ville Qffroad Racing blocked rooms. Bartons Club 93 rooms will be limited due to construc-tion, but their rooms are $45 and the number to call is 800-258-2937. The Four Jacks should have rooms and the new Holiday Inn may a !so have some rooms available. The races in Wendover give you a broader choice which is often needed on busy weekends. We are supported by the Stateline and Silversmith hotel casinos. You need to call well ahead for reservations and the number is 800-848-7300. These rooms are first come, first served. More details will be coming soon ... and watch for B.O.R .E. ads in the Dusty Times. I'll see you at the races. Dusty Times "· ., ...

The first two rounds of the Doo Wop Rally Series were held in the Capital Forest near Olympia, Washington on February 18 and 19.

While the Mazdas took home ------ -------------------- -the honors, a more appropriate vehicle for this weekend might have been an ark. As Saturday morning drizzle turned into Sunday's steady downpour, wet drivers, wet co-drivers, wet service crews, wet workers, and wet spectators all rediscovered the marvelous technology of the umbrella. One weather station near the Capital Forest recorded more than six inches of rainfall during the rally weekend, but at least the stage roads were high enough in the Black Hills to avoid the flooding conditions that restricted travel in some lowland areas of Wes tern Washington. In Doo Wop 1, Rick Beson teamed with Ben Bradley to capture the win by 18 seconds over Tim and Penny Paterson's Falcon Racing RX7. Beson/ Brad-ley used the Western Turbo Mazda Protege's all wheel drive to their advantage on the slippery Capital Forest roads. The rally shaped up as a Mazda battle from the minute the starting list was published, with Dale Beard/Ri-chard Simmons (323GTX), Be son/ Bradley, and the Patersons filling the first three starting spots.

MTEG SAN DIEGO -JACK MURPHY STADIUM Rob MacCachren Repeats in Thunder Trucks Photos: Carrera Photography Rob MacCachren rules the roost in Thunder Truck action driving the ex-SODA Championship winning Ford to another Rough Rider victory, as he won the first heat and won the main event going away. The Mickey Thompson Sta-dium Off Road Racing Series con-tinued its '95 campaign with .round two taking place February 25 in San Diego, CA. The event celebrated its 10th season at Jack Murphy Stadium with 36,852 fans coming out for some off road entertainment. For a quick update, going into San Diego Rob MacCachren is leading the Thunder Trucks points battle. Jimmy Nichols has command of the Super 1600 dJv-ision while defending champ Jerry Whelchel is in 10th after drop-ping out of round one with motor trouble. Jimmie Johnson is ahead of Casey Mears by four points in the SuperLite class. Niclas Gran-I und has the edge on Doug Eichner in the 4-Wheel A TV bat-tle. Larry Brooks won at Anaheim putting him in charge of the UltraCross class with teammate and defending champ Kyle Lewis third. · The Thunder Trucks again proved the weatherman can over-rate an upcoming storm, or maybe not. There was a lot of thunder and a little lightning from this newly formed truck class. There were eight trucks that made the main event but it was Rob MacCachren who quickly proved he has all the thunder. Mac-Cachren started his dominance early by setting fast qualifying time then taking the fi_rst heat. Kyle Taylor took the early lead in heat one but MacCachren edged Scott Douglas got his Dodge into a Thunder truck win in the second heat, but a brief encounter with the hydro barrier put him out of the main event. Kyle Taylor did a fine job in his Chevrolet running second in heat 1 and he survived the heavy action in the main event to finish third in Thunder Trucks. his· way into the lead before the lap ended. Taylor's trouble con-tinued when Evan Evans pulled up to his bumper and pressured him throughout the race. Taylor, however, was able to keep his position,· leaving .Evans in third. Tom }ialiburda finished fourth after starting from the pole position. · · Scott Douglas was slated to be MacCachren's biggest threat for the eveni~g after Douglas had earned second fastest qualifying honors.

O nce out front Douglas used the open field to gai'n some serious real estate between himself and Doherty. Doherty spun on lap four and McKinney was able to take over the second spot. Scott Douglas won outright but McKinney was dropped two positions by the Rough Driving committee (RDC) which put James Pierce in second and Doherty third ahead of McKinney. McKinney attributed his RDC ruling to the fact he broke a brake caliper off in the first corner and had no brakes. "I did what I could to stay out of people. I wanted to run up front and I tried to run as clean as I could without brakes," added McKinney. In the main event MacCachren and Douglas lined up side by side. T he two fastest q ualifiers and both having won a heat race gave promise of an exciting race. How-ever, all the excitement happened on the start. Scott Douglas tried to sneak inside on the start and ended up climbing over the barri-ers. While Douglas was trying to sort out his mistake and get back into the action Kyle Taylor had gotten spun around and was com-ing back up the course towards Douglas.

Healy won the event with his closest competition coming from Chad Smajak. Ray Crumb finished third with Erick Hilton fourth in front of Ryan Carlisle. Greg Stuart, Mark Ehrhardt and Niclas Granlund put on a · good three way battle for the 4-Wheel ATV main event. At first Stuart had Shane Hitt battling for second. Ehrhardt pulled up for third. However when it was over Stuart had weaved his way through lapped traffic to take his Laeger into the winner's circle. Ehrhardt pulled across second with Niclas Granlund third. Doug Eichner managed fourth ahead of Jesse Wozniak. Sixteen riders made up heat one of the 4-Wheel ATV action. On the start Jesse Wozniak held the lead with Charles Shepherd tak-ing a close second. Shepherd was able to take over the event on the second lap by out distancing Wozniak's effort over a double. Then Wozniak fell to third place on the following lap as Joe Byrd passed at the same spot where Shepherd had passed him. Two laps later Byrd took over from Shepherd when he lost his chain while leading. Shortly after the lead change Wozniak went over the handle bars and Tim Farr took over second. Byrd held on for the win with Farr not too far behind in second. Third went to Doug Eichner and Niclas Granlund was fourth ahead of Travis Kincaid.

Tim Baker has a new mount, a Moulton SuperLite and he was fourth in heat 2, and worked his way up to an 11th place finish in the main event. Stacy Fay flies flat and level in her Eiriggsbuilt, on The way to a good fifth in heat 2, but with problems Stacy was 12th in the main event. Shannon Millen whips her Nature's Recipe Honda over a jump and she did well, placing fifth in Heat 1 and eighth in the feature race that was a busy one. Ron Buccieri had a good night racing in his Honda SuperLite, and he finished fourth in heat 1 and went on to finish ninth in the feature race. Larry Ragland will race anything it seems, and he sure has a tidy looking racer. Could he be another "Man in Black" on this circuit. Jon Nelson built himself a toy when he heard of the Legends tour, and he can't very well blame the car builder, him, if anything goes wrong on the track. Troy Lindhorst flies high in his Honda SuperLite to a fine second in heat 2, but he had troubles in traffic in the main event and came in 15th in the feature. Team leader for Nature's Recipe Rennie Awana also drives fast. Rennie was third in heat 2 and came on strong through traffic to take second in the main. An added attraction at Sam Murphy Stadium was the appearance of some Legends cars. They didn't really have a race, but were fun to watch.

When the green flag came out for the second heat Shane Hitt was first off the line. Ehrhardt took second then a lap later snuck inside to steal the lead from Hitt. Hitt· returned the favor before the lap ended but had to settle for Ehrhardt shadowing his every move. Pacing himself in third was Greg Stuart. Ehrhardt managed to make a pass stick midway and then put a couple of bike lengths between himself and Hitt. Hitt finished second to Ehrhardt. Third went to Stuart and fourth was Fred Shepherd ahead of Brian Acree. Women's UltraCross came to San Diego and again 15 year old Amber Hughes went home Queen Bee. Hughes jumped off the start line and right into the lead from her fourth row starting position. Once she saw a clear track she was able to pull a comfortable lead over Shealy Kristy. Hughes went on to win and make it three in a row for the newly formed ladies series. Added to the racing format at San Diego were % scale Legend Cars. Legends ran on the same course the Thunder Trucks drove on although they avoided the jumps. The event was more an ex-hibition rather than a full on race.

Steve Thompson had his troubles on the third lap, a common problem in this race but he managed to finish second in Class 10 and ninth overall of the 19 who finished. a three hour first lap, did three good ones after that, but ran out of energy for the last round, and was second in class. Gary Magness spent nearly three and a half hours completing lap 1, but he and his crew carried on with two good laps and retired. Todd Vanda-walker had a beautiful paint job on his Sportsman Class 112, but he and Robert Knight made a couple of pit stops, calling it a night after two laps. That was all for Class 1 / 2. Eri.; Schenberger and Mark Bunderson had a great first lap, slowed some on the next ones with two flat tires and a flickering oil light but they were second in Class 9. Brian Fieger also started out fast, then the dust slowed him a bit on the next three laps, and he finished third in the Class 9 herd of Challengers. There were two starters in Class 5, Todd and Kelly Ashley and Derek Holt and family. Each made just one lap and the Ashleys were about 12 minutes faster, so they won over the Holt group. Ted Olson started out strong with a quick lap, had a few delays later on in the,1600. but he finished well, fourth in class and sixth overall Lonny Helmbolt and Bobby Leonard got through two of the required four laps in Sportsman Truck class, but it was good enough time for the class win. Midway the 1600s were all mixed up with what was still going in Class 10. Pat Dean had the Class 10 lead in a single seat Che-nowth, despite an early pit stop to replace a stripped spark plug until lap 3 where up on the mountain he broke a tie rod, got that fixed, but then the steering failed and he went over a cliff and down into a ravine. It took a while to find him so he had an over three hour lap. John Gaughan got in for lap 4 and did well with a little more break-age, so rather than destroy the Chenowth they put it-on the trailer with four laps done in sixth in Class 10. Steve Thompson had been poised to take over the lead after two laps but he had 30 min-utes worth of trouble on lap 3. Clay Flippen also lost rime on lap 3, Sam Dunnam had serious trans trouble, Dan Bradley drove relief for him and got around quickly getting in four laps while stopping often for gas and oil. They did four laps for fifth in Class 10. Mark Davidge and David Berry recovered from a 56 minute time loss on the first lap to finish all five laps, fourth in Class 10 and 13th overall. Clay Flippin and R0n Hacker lost some time on the troublesome third lap but took third in class and tenth overall. Steve V Scott Bennett and Chris Hybarger drove the only Sportsman Buggy that covered the required four laps, the first and last being the quickest, and they won the class, the only one of four cars to finish. Doug Ingram did the solo drive in his Class 9 at the Twilight, and he had most consistent lap times, no trouble until the throttle cable broke near the finish line, but he hand throttled the car to first in Class 9, the biggest class.

Brett North and Casey Jones smiled and said they had no trouble at all and had consistent lap times, good for fourth place in the Class 9 scrambles. Frank Baird was the last of the four lap finishers in Class 9, had an hour down time on lap 2, but he came back in good shape to take fifth in Class 9. Clay Flippen with Ron Thacker drove the pristine Class 10 car and they had good swift lap times except for the infamous lap 3, and they were third in class. IP'"' Thompson came back strong to place second in cla.ss, ninth overall. Californians Robert and Mike Harmon surprised some of the locals by turning very consistent lap times, had a couple of flats and. lighting problems, but overall a nice clean run, except for the dust. They won Class 10 by half an hour and were fifth overall and had fun. The 1-2-1600 cars ran in bunches in the early laps and most of them kept running too. Dan Bradley was out after one lap, his trans sticking in first gear, and Jeff Shiroky vanished after two quick laps. ,Kevin Colan lost an hour on lap 1, did three good ones to fin-ish four and place tenth in class. Craig and Chris Simmons had first lap woes too, and also got in four laps for ninth in class. Todd Burt and Greg Wood ran easy but uneven lap times but got in all five laps for 12th overall, eighth in class. Taking seventh in class and 11th overall_was Ken Freeman Sr., who had Mike Haugaard drive the last two laps. On the last long lap the car was stuck in second gear. Dan lscho and Kevin Sadar had -three under an hour laps, slowed a bit on the last two and finished sixth and their steady lap times brought them in eighth overall. Rob and Bob Guevara still are happy with the new suspension set up and Rob equaled fast lap time for the class on lap 1. They ran steady until the last lap which was twenty minutes longer than the others as they ran off the road and high centered due to bad lighting but they held onto fifth in class and seventh overall. Ted Olson ran a nicely paced race with only the second lap a shade longer, probably a stop to remove light covers. He zipped in fourth in 1600 class and a smart sixth overall~ He said he had no brakes early and a long pit stop and later had a flat, and that was it for troubles. Here came the Freeman clan, and victory once more eluded them. Kenny Jr. and his wife Kerry finished third in class and fourth overall in a race with sister Bekki and Jeremy Gubler. Kenny said he got a flat on the second lap, his lights were bad nearly all the way and he was lucky to finish. A 9 car trying to move over for him, fell back on the track off the bank, and Kenny rolled trying to avoid hitting the little car, which broke the exhaust system putting him down on power. But he soldiered on to finish and held third in class, and fourth overall ahead of the winning Class 10 car by 15 minutes. The finish of this class race was exciting as Bekki Freeman led Jeremy Gubler on the road by just seconds and she had started ahead Dusty Times of him. As the lights appeared down the last hill, they looked very close but the soft stuff near the finish line tum slowed them both.

Besides, the race course is a keen trip though the streams, real mountains and val-leys ending with a couple blocks through town where freight trains rumble down the middle of main street all day long.

This remains the was on the team with a Group N only rally in the World series version. always to have been won by a driver from the region in which it is held, in this case either Sweden or Finland. "This promises to be the best Swedish Rally we have had for a long time. For the first time in nine years, every team active in the premier World Rally Cham-pionship will attend our event," announced chief organizer Bertil Klarin. This is the only World Rally guaranteed to be held in full winter conditions. Minus 20 degrees Celsius is normal on the Swedish rally, and the type of snow in Scandinavia is different. The rules here allow bigger studs in the tires .. In this event Toyota regularly ran confidence boosting Lappi . not Michelin tires, with approval from Michelin who pro-vided their anti-deflation ATS mousse inserts. A strange charac-ter of the rally is the high average stage speeds despite the ice and snow surfaces. Top rally teams know surpris-ingly little about winter rally con-ditions first hand. Ford relied heavily on the experience of their resident specialist Stig Blomqvist, the 46 year old reigning Swedish National champion, as neither Francois Delecour nor Bruno Thiry had contested the event before. Toyota was better suited as Didier Auriol was here in 1991 and 1993, whileJuha Kankkunen won outright in 1986, but they still had the lack of power they had at Monte Carlo. Thomas Radstrom, winner of the '94 event was Toyota's third works driver while Armin Schwar:, ral-Page 38 Good news was that the FIA has granted homologation to Skoda's Felicia Kit Car, set to make its competition debut in the World 2 liter championship cate-gory. Skoda is in two classes here: Pavel Sibera and Swedish driver Bjorn Johansson had cars with 1500cc engines and Emil T riner ,drove a car with a 1300 engine. This category promised to be hard fought with official or semi-official entries from GM, Skoda, VW and Ford while series leaders Renault were represented by two private entries. In Group N the Celica GT-Four car of Middle East champion Mohammed Bin Sulayem and a works develop-ment car for Arne Radstrom were entered. Learning from experience at the Monte Carlo Rally the organi:ers were busy working with the FIA to control servicing. For the Swedish the FIA experimented with special 'five minute' service halts on the sections where full orthodox servicing was forbid-den. This was to ensure that rally cars were always in a safe condi-tion when used on the public highway. After a week of mixed weather the sun came out and temperatures fell on Etape 1. Fri-day was dry, often sunny and the conditions of the tracks were ideal, and icy, which led to a wide variety of on board spares carried in the rally cars, and tires in general. Kenneth Backlund's Group N Mitsubishi was banned from eligibility for World Cham-pionship points; the car was not carrying the mandatory tracking devices, so Mitsubishi was down to two drivers in the points chase. The first stage was held near to Karlstad on army land and times were very close, but stage 2, the first real forest stage, produced a surprise: just one second separ-ated two Mitsubishis and two Subarus, leaving Makinen one second ahead of Sainz and Tho-mas Radstrom. Mitsubishi were a serious force. There were eight stages on the first day, five in day-light, and the Mitsubishi con-tinued to pull ahead, leading for the rest of the day.Toyota drivers were no happier with their engines than at Monte Carlo. Thiry went off on stages 1 and 2 ("I was really lucky, sixth gear! We went calmly after that") and found it difficult to get a good rhythm. Stage 4 saw many adventures. Sainz went off the road for about 20 seconds after sliding into a ditch and he had to wait for spec-tators to arrive to push him on his way. Kankkunen understeered wide and was stuck in a snow-bank, Tomas Jansson lost nearly two minutes off the road and even veteran Blomqvist spun. Jansson was driving the car Kankkunen had crashed in Finland last year, still showing some of the scars. On stage 5 Delecour slid into a ditch and on stage 6 slightly dam-aged the suspension after hitting some ice. Schwarz was also learn-ing life on ice stages. Last year's winner Thomas Radstrom drove up to stage 5 with the special radiator cover accidentally still in place and went easily through the stage with the water temperature soaring up to 119 degrees. On the long stage 7 the Lappi tires proved faster for Toyota and the top three drivers finished within as many seconds of each other. Sub-aru were shocked when Sainz had problems at service before arriv-ing at the overnight halt. The oil filter was changed, it seemed something jammed the oil pres-sure relief valve and the excess pressure burst the filter. A trail of oil followed Sainz across the fin-ish ramp into the pare ferme .. In 'W2L' after Jurgen Jonasson (VW) led on stage 1, GM won every other stage of the day. Harry Joki (VW), maker of the tires that bear his name, went off the road for nearly 15 minutes. Skoda's challenge was impaired on the first stage when guest driver Bjorn Johansson (Kit car 1500) had engine failure. On stage 5 Pavel Sibera stopped several times with electrical failure and the highest placed Felicia was Triner in the 1300cc class. Svan went off on stage 1 but took the lead on stage 3 which he kept through to the Smedjebacken rest halt. Then on the long stage 7 K ytolehto retook the lead which he held for almost the rest of the day. Both remain-ing Skodas were leading their classes by the evening. In Group N Mitsubishis also reigned supreme. Backlund had fuel feed trouble on the first few stages and gradually pulled back the Group lead from Stig..Olaf May 1995 Kenneth Backlund and Tord Andersson won Group Nin a Mitsubishi Lancer Ev II, despite a few problems along the way. It was the second victory of the rally for both Swedish drivers and Mitsubishi. Walfridsson, Arne Radstrom had engine failure in his GT-Four which let his brother Anders climb into their place in Group N with his Galant. Mohammed Bin Sulayem was struggling with his Toyota GT-Four. "We have checked our comparative times against the Mitsubishis from two years ago when we had our Ford here, and we are sure this car is down on power at this moment." Shock number two was the news that the German privateer Jurgen Freisler took time off from rally-ing his Ma:da and married his codriver on arrival at Falun! Sainz restarted Etape 2, but having completed stage 9 retired with a damaged engine. Ford's shock came with the sudden retirement of Delecour; lying ninth, his engine seized without warning. Makinen asked for some changes to his suspension set-up but this did not work and he lost the lead, that he had only just gained, to Eriksson, who was competing on stages close to his home. When he reverted to his previous set-up the Finn went well and started to catch his teammate again. McRae spun on stage 9, lost 15 seconds and went carefully on the next stage as well. Thomas Radstrom was gradually becoming accustomed to the ST205 taking third place. He made fastest time on stage 12, even though his intercom had failed and he had to drive without pace notes! The T oyotas were going steadily, though still suffer-ing from their engine troubles. Blomqvist and Jonsson were unhappy with their respective Ford and Subaru engines. Kank-k unen was still worried, but things were a little better when a loose turbo pipe clamp was traced. As the cars returned from another sunny day in the north of Warmland came shock number four. The one second lead that Kenneth Eriksson had returning to Karlstad would be for nothing, with the Mitsubishis being forced to run first car on the road and the first to face unexpected ha:ards from the forecasted heavy snow. In 'WZL', Svan won every spe-cial stage and pulled out a lead of nearly two minutes over Kyto-lehto, even though the Finn now had Lappi tires as well. Jonas Kruse was going well in his Renault Clio Williams, his first time in this car and the first time the former Volvo driver had ral-lied a front drive car, lying fifth splitting the two Skodas. Sibera incurred a two minute time con-trol penalty and had been lying second in class the night before, but was now leading the class after Mats Bergea 's Opel Corsa retired with fuel trouble. In Group N Walfridsson relentlessly gained on Backlund when the latter ran most of the day with loss of turbocharger pressure, but Walfridsson had a one minute time control penalty for leaving a service area late. Mit-subishi held 1-2-3, the third driver being Anders Radstrom, younger brother to Arne, no rela-tion to Thomas! He drove an ex-Mitsubishi Sweden Galant. Fifth was Bin Sulayem, resigned to suf-fering loss of power, more inter-ested in finishing and scoring championship points. What a change for Etape 3! The long promised bliz:ard fell over-night and well into the morning. Hints the evening before of an· engine problem for McRae were emphatically confirmed when in the morning there was a pool of oil on the ground in the pare ferme. Colin was able to start the engine but there was no oil pres-sure. After working alone on the car in the freezing cold and falling snow, he struggled on for about seven kilometers out of town but then the engine failed and he was out of the event. At the same time Jonsson 's Subaru lmpreza had similar symptoms and was able only to reach the outkirts of town before his car also finally stopped. The weather affected the rally in other ways. Eriksson appeared to be losing ground steadily to Makinen who· took the lead on stage 19 which he kept almost to the end. "It is very hard to go fast, because the depth of the snow is never constant," he said, with something less than full convic-tion. Blomqvist was running one car behind Jonsson, and in the confusion of the snow at the first time control he pulled in two minutes after the car in front, not being able to see who that car was. He should have waited another two minutes. He incurred a four minute penalty. The Toyotas started the day on Lappi tires which was a mistake in the condi-tions, but Tomas Jansson, the man denied the works drive, was running eighth on the road in the old style Celica and was in his element. He had much clearer roads in front of him and made two best times. Marcus Granholm went off the road and retired with gearbox trouble, and finally the rally looked like coming to a peaceful end. But then came the final stages. Makinen, who had been 43 seconds in front at the end of stage 24, dropped 55 seconds and the lead on the final stage. The story ·seemed to be straightforward. .When the weather forecast was issued, Mitsubihsi Team Manager Andrew Cowan met his drivers and told them the score. If the Dusty Times

The Mitsubishi Ralliart teammates swept the Swedish Rally this year. The overall winner is on the right, Kenneth Eriksson, and second placing Tommi Makinen was merely 12 seconds behind in his Lancer. Bruno Thiry and Stephane Prevot fought the snow and ice in a Ford Escort RS Cosworth, had their problems, but the Belgians placed a fine sixth overall.

So the final score saw Kenneth But it wasn't so simple. There was already a credibility gap with Mitsubishi. Fgllowing the official announcement, the team were now only to enter five rallies this year with their Group A team and that Portugal, Catalunya and RAC were out of bounds for them. Then came the matter of the pre-rally exclusion from the W arid Championship for Ken-neth Backlund 'sentry, apparently because someone had forgotten to fit the necessary tracking equip-ment supplied by the FIA, com-pulsory for all Manufacturers' Championship entries. Cowan had to explain what his drivers orders to the contrary. In 'W2L' Svan and Kytolehto stayed ahead but third placedJon-asson retired With gearbox prob-lems. K ytolehto was out of new tires, using old ones supplied for the Arctic Rally earlier. Jonas Kruse, the sole remaining repre-sentative for Renault, who had been lying between Triner and Sibera, retired overnight with transmission troubles, enabling the Skodas to rise to fifth and sixth, and lead both their classes.

Carl Merrill was sporting a new paint job that was easier on the eyes, but still purple with white lines and flourishes making the paint job very similar to those of the factory Ford's on the World Rally Championship. The planned debut of Greg Lund's Ford Sierra is delayed indefinitely, the Lund's would contest the rally in an open class Datsun 510 borrowed from Janice Damitio. Chad Dykes did debut his new Toyota pickup for Group 2 competition, it was low and had scads of negative camber for a real stadium off road look. Built by 1994 Production Cham-pion Dave Turner, the truck was over a year in the making, featur-ing a high output engine, strong and effective suspension and the wild and spectacular driving style of Mr. Dykes himself. The battle for National points came down to a duel between Moodie/Fennell and the Ford Escort Cosworth RS of Carl Merrill and John Bellefleur who ended up second overall losing by 44 seconds after 11 stages of intense competition. Seven cars entered the open class with four, all wheel drive and three two wheel drive cars. And amazingly, all of the entrants fin-ished. Peter Moodie and Michael Fennell eyed the mutation of rules for Group A in 1995 and decided that making the modifications to their Executive Motorsports Mazda 323GTX would actually slow the car. Moodie, always one for the overall glory decided to make the car open class. The change was for the best as he was competitive in trading stage times with Carl Merrill and John Belle-fleur in the Ford Escort Cosworth right from the start. By midway through the days stages the Nor-seman Resorts Ford of Merrill/ Bellefleur had lost fourth gear in the seven speed gearbox, not a , large problem but enough to cost some time. But it may not have made a difference as the Moodie/ -Fennell Mazda took just a stage or two to act like it was on rails through the muddy tracks and roads. By the end of the first days seven stages the Jamaican team had 3 1 seconds in hand over the Escort. In third place was the Audi 4000 ofRui Brasil and John Elkin, trailing the lead pack ·by a minute and a half. The Audi team had a less than easy day in the woods as they re-arranged the left rear body work on the Azores Express Audi after hitting a tree in stage three and clambering back onto the road after two minor "offs''. Henry Joy and Chris Grif-fin had un-retired the Eclipse for another run and stood in fourth place about two minutes behind the third place car. "I am driving just as smooth and as fast as I dare, but I still seem to be driving like a Mom", said the driver of the Aus-tralian Stopped Motion/ Ralliart Eclipse. Leading the two wheel drive brigade was Bill Malik and Roine , Rui Brasil and John Elkin hit a tree in stage 3 on day 1, but came back and had no more troubles to place third overall in the National and take the win in the Audi on the second Divisional.

Merrill had hoped to start taking back some of the time Moodie had put on him but the Executive Motorsports team would not be denied as they widened the gap to 44 seconds bv rally's end winning their first overall title in America.

Production GT had just three cars entered, but the field was nar-rowed to two quickly as the Toy-ota Celica All Trac of Jason Pries-tley and Kevin Caffery was quickly out of the rally in stage one when a fuel pump failed. This left the Toyota flag to be carried by Janice Damitio and Barry Berg, also in a Celica All Trac. Local hotshoe Dale Beard and Richard Simmons had their Mazda 323GTX in the lead quickly and were focusing on winning their divisional rallies, Running as high as third overall at times the Mazda took the win easily after Damitio and Berg lost twenty minutes on· day two after coming off the road while trying to reel in the Mazda. The Mazda was not without its woes as going into the final two stages of the rally a reoccurring fuel pickup problem surfaced · slowing the Mazda to 40mph on the fast roads, and to add indig-nity a puncture in the final stage seemed to make the team happy it was the end of the event afterall. Damitio got back on the road for a second place finish. Group A and Rallytruck were not represented at the Doo Wop Rally Weekend. Group 2 is a growing class, every rally seems to see the class swell even further, and the com-petition is always close. Seven cars entered the class but three were out quickly including local favorite Sam Bryan and Rob Walden who broke an axle in the Saab early and ultimately did not finish the fourth stage.

SPIRIT and the Tecatc SCORE/ . San Felipe l50 By Sam Wilshire San Felipe, BC -For the second time in as many races during the '95 off road race season, the SPIRIT team was called upon to provide pit support during the recent San Felipe 250, an event that heretofore we had not involved ourselves with. But the 'callers" are two of the power-brokers in the sport and when Dan Newsome of BFG and Dan Stutz of Ford/SVO speak, we at SPIRIT listen. And as Dan (Newsome) said in his February BFG pit letter, we'd whined quite a bit during the '94 season 'cause our pit locations sucked and we did little work. So from the '94 1000 on, he'd make certain that we'd be located at "hot" pit areas. A dual pit, Cohabuzo and then back to check 9 during the '94 1000; the Midway pits at this year's Parker go, and now, the Borrego pits just past check three have, and did offer, the SPIRIT bunch all the work we could handle. The San Felipe 250, according to most, is a sprint race ... just long enough to beat the heck out of you and just short enough that mistakes of any type will put a "rock in• and roll in• all night team "on the trailer".

SPIRIT pit, became aware of this he said he would talk to Robby Gordon personally about this infraction. Of course, the talk will have to wait awhile ... Dan was headed south to take a look at the proposed '95 SCORE 1000 course and Mr. Gordon was off to Australia for the Surfers Paradise Indy car race on the 19th. Anyway ... Friday nite saw a light snack prepared by chef Ken, who by the way, performed flawlessly throughout the week-end and is now on BFG's hit list as a possible number two chef ... sorry Newsome, you can't have him (we hope). By about 7:00 a.m. Saturday morning, breakfast had been served, the awning had been repaired and set up with the fuel; the tools, welders, spare parts and lubricants were set out and the radio was "sorta" in operation. While it appears that the "rough edges" of the radio situation will be put to rest by the Nevada 400, in April, the crux of the matter had to do with us not being able to raise, and/or keep contact with, Radio Bob and BFG Main during the event. As said, it'll be worked out soon. Ford had once again contracted Steve Spirkoff to chase the LA Sheriff's Ranger and Ken and Larry were hosting the VIP's so we wouldn't see much of these three during the day. But, they did venture out to the pit on Saturday for awhile and it was good seeing Ford's Dan Stutz . A real neat thing about the Borrego pit was the absence of a speed limit. At Midway, during the Parker 400, the racers were restricted to 35 mph through the pits ... what a bummer. .. but here at Borrego, it was "6$##@ to the wall", "pedal to the metal" and on and on. Interestingly, at no time did I, or anyone else in the SPIRIT crew, feel endangered by these high velocity missles flying by. I guess it has something to do with driver ability and control and quality mechanicals. But ... try telling that to the BLM in and around Parker. The Tecate Trophy-Trucks were the first competitors thru us the first time with Rob MacCach-ren and his Rough Rider Ford in the lead, at 10:02: 11 , followed by the Ragland Chevy, about four minutes and 19 seconds in arrears. Then it was Gordon (Ford), Swift (Ford) and LeDuc (Jeep) in the next three spots, covered by a 19 minute and 39 second blanket. Of these three, Gordon and LeDuc pitted and were gone in seconds. The SPIRIT pit crew watched ... we weren't pitting any of these teams. Other Tecate Trophy-Truck teams sorta off the pace included Roger Mears, about 22 minutes behind the leader, Walker Evans (51 minutes back-and Ivan Stewart (53 minutes back). Ivan's Toyota wasn't bitting on al,l cylinders and was smoking like a World War II smoke-screen machine. Our first call to duty came in the form of the# 114 RCD car of Fortin and Sourapas who took 22 gallons of fuel and had a ,shock adjusted in two minutes and 13 seconds. Next in was Ryan Thomas in his Chenowth Mag-num, who only needed changes in his carb jetting, ably handled by Mike, his dad, and Rudy Towns-ley ... but the repairs did take the better part of eight minutes. Tim.Scalzo flew in at 11:20.44 and after a quick check of the Raceco, and 18 gallons of fuel, was gone after a 56 second stop. Next in was the Raceco of Sch lime and Worley who took a long check, 17 gallons and were gone with a one minute and 55 second stop. T earns stopping by for service the rest of the day included #504 of Mike Jakobson (23 gallons total, two quick checks and ultimately the Class 5 win); the #1027 Chenowth of Charles Townsley Jr. (loose front-end, DNF); the Novelo and Alvarez Nissan with suspension problems ( third in class then DQ'd with a technical violation); the Pontiac-powered two seater of Wolcott and Johnson with power steering problems (15th in class);the 1-2-1600 racer of Ron Wilson ( 11 gallons and fourth in class); the unlimited Baja Bug of Seeley and Powell (22 gallons and third in Class 5) and the LE2 1-2-1600 racer of Navarro and Rutherford ( 11 gallons and eighth in class). The list goes on ... the MECO racer of Schmoke and Howe ( 16 gallons and 10th in class); the Vinje and Hansen Ranger (30 gallons and a DNF); the White and Petersen Chevy (65 gallons total and a DNF); the #778 Ranger of the LA Sheriff's (20 gallons and the Stock Mini Class win); the 5-1600 car of the Iribe team ( 11 gallons and fourth in class); the #701 Ranger of Taylor and Taylor (six gallons and second in Class 7 ); the Class 9 team of Weiser and Weiser ( 12 gallons and a DNF) and the 1H Scout of Sasser and Curiel (23 gallons and a DNF). As a matter of fact, no Class 3 teams finished the event in the nine hour limit. In all the SPIRIT crew serviced approximately 42 vehicles during the event. Servicing included a substantial amount of welding, front end and rear torsion bar adjustments, shock and tire changes, adding oil and of course, fuel, and a myriad of additional ininor and major repairs too numerous to mention. Lets put it this way ... Newsome said we'd work ... and we did. A final thanks goes to the BFG bunch who put together a real nice post race cookout for pit personnel only. We at SPIRIT enjoyed.

SCORE INTERNATIONAL had difficulty finding a sponsor and a host hotel for the annual spring romp across the Nevada desert, this year happening on April 28-30. The event was for over 20 years "The Mint400", and most racers still call it the Mint race. Since 1974 most of the time it ran on a course north of Las Vegas starting just behind Nellis Air Force Base and going north almost to Glendale, then crossing under the freeway and heading south to the start/ finish, which, until a few years ago, was in the Las Vegas Speedrome. The race then moved the start/ finish across the highway to fairly level ground just north of the Nellis runways. Most folks assumed it would -stay there for some time. But, for 1995 SCORE has announced some major changes. Firstly the race start/ finish will be on the old highway south ofJean, NV and the pre-race contingency row and tech inspection will be there too. They didn't say where registration would be in the ad. We hope the weather is good on the Friday. Also the race has been rechristened the Las Vegas 250 and the distance has been shortened to 250 miles, assuming the course will be 50 miles in length that means five laps, or maybe it will be 60 miles long and four laps will be required. Stay Tuned. For out of state folks attending the race, Jean is about 40 miles south of Las Vegaas, with two hotels, one on either side of I-15. THE SHERIFF'S RACE REPORT. The City of Carson Crime Prevention unit, formed an off road race team late last year and we had a note from Deputy Steven K. Williams aimed at potential race truck sponsors. On March 11th, 1995 the L.A.S.O. Off Road Race team scored their first win at the '95 SCORE Tecate San Felipe 250 in Baja California. During the early morning hours on race day the rain which had been threatening, finally started to come down. Then almost as fast as it started, the rain stopped and clear blue skies greeted our team as we made our way to the start line. We started last out of six trucks in the "Stock Mini" class. Within the first 50 miles of the race we had moved from sixth place to within a minute of first. Before the halfway point at Borrego, we suffered a front driveshaft problem and a slight fuel problem. Other than that, our '94 Ford Ranger STX 4x4 ran flawlessly all day. During our 200 mile race, our BFG Mud Terrain T I As never flinched at the harsh terrain, allowing us to run flat free all day. At the finish line, our margin of victory was 50 minutes ahead of the second place truck. With this win and our second place finish at the Parker 400, we now have a good lead in points for the overall Stock Mini championship which ends with the Baja 1000 in November. We would like to thank the following sponsors for all of their help and support: Ford Motor Co., FOE RWD Engineering, BFGoodrich, Bilstein, Spirit Racing, National Spring, Tom's Differentials, F&L Racing Fuels, American Racing Equipment, PIAA, Factory Motor Parts of California, GPO Tomadur Engine Co., Standard Communications, R.L. H. Communications, H.M.R. Auto Service, Beard Seats, Art Carr, Associated Truck Parts, Magellan Systems Corp., EZ-Up, K&N Engineering, Uni Filter, Iwata Bolt, B&H Co., Banner Sign Co. We would like to especially thank Jeremy Spirkoff for the outstanding work on our truck before the race, and Steve Spirkoff and Ed Krause for the outstanding chase work. By the way, the LA Fire Department is building a truck to challenge the sheriffs as well as the desert. All of the above sponsors will probably be tapped again.
