He had shock trouble on the first lap but cured that and went on to take the checkered flag and stay well up in the points hunt. Gerardo Iribe flies the man made jump at the SCORE Primm 300 on his way to victory in the 5-1600 class. Gerardo shared the driving chores with his dad, Carlos, a long time veteran of SCORE racing. Losing a wheel and breaking a throttle cable slowed them down but they still took the checkered flag and were one happy group.

The contingency and tech inspection was back on the same street and it didn't seem to matter this year that a lot of stores were blocked by the displays. The registration was back in the Riviera Convention Center, but the start was moved out toward the road to Tecate, and it was well policed and all seemed happy. The Trophy-Trucks took off after the bikes had cleared and three were missing early in the game, Jason Baldwon, Carl Renezder in Fords and Ivan Stewart in his usually trusty Toyota. The rest of the 1 l starters went on to finish and the win went to Rob MacCachren in his low rider Ford. Larry Ragland_ was second in his Chevrolet, Curt LeDuc third in his Jeep Grand Cherokee and Ed and Tim Herbst were fourth in their Ford. Troy Herbst won Class 1 in a Porsche powered car, nobody did a lap in Class 3, and Neal and Mike Grabowski won Class 5. Ross and James Craft won Class 5-1600 while Robert Land and Michael Jenkins won Class 7, the only finisher, and Malcblm Vinje and Mark Hansen won Class 7S in a Ford. Class 8 fell to Dan Smith and Dave Ashley while Scott and Todd Johnson won Class 9 in a Merideth Flyer. Andy Wehe took the Class 10 victory in an A-armedJ imco Toyota, and Noberto Rivera N. and Marcos Nunez C. won Class 11 going the entire distance. Jim Dizney and Todd Teuscher were tops in Class 1-2-1600 and Charles Harris won again in Pro Truck. In Stock Full Sized Trucks Marc Stein and Gordon DiCarlo won by a good margin and Michael Martin won Stock Mini Truck honors. We'll have a complete story with pictures by Judy Smith in the next issue. You can see the race on ESPN 2 on June 23. THE MEMORIAL DAY 100 started the SODA series this year on Memorial Day weekend which unfortunately was damp most of the time -no heavy rain just drizzle. It dried out from time to time so a few classes got a dry track and dust. We have a full coverage story coming as well as pictures. A light drizzle fell on the Soda Lites class but they hustled around to once again see Holgeir Oksnevad win in his Briggsbuilt. Rick Rayford took the checkers in Class 6 in his Chevy Malibu and SODA President Terry Wolfe won Class 5-1600 in his , VW sedan. Class 11 D went to Tim Christensen after a hard battle among many entries. The first V-8 class on Saturday was 13 and Walker Evans son Evan drove his Chevrolet into the victory. Evan led all the way but never by much distance. The fast buggies in Classes 9 and 10 were next and this was wheel to wheel racing. The win went to Cliff Holliday. Class 1 & 2 were next and Brian Collins brought his Chevy powered Chenowth from Las Vegas intending to win. Win he did by a big margin. They brought out the 8S trucks and they ran for about 15 minutes. A girl from Michigan competes in this class and she won over six other entries -congratulations Cheryl Walton and your Dodge. Class 7S had a good fight for the lead, a lot of cars and a few wrecks but John Greaves won again and Art Schmitt was second followed by Todd Attig in a Ford. Class 1-1600 was led by inches from the start to finish by Michael Notary in a Heslco, and fellow Floridian Jason Crowder was third, this in a field of 23 cars. They were c.ranking up the V -8s in the pits and the next class was full of stars from all over the country. Californian Greg George shot into an immediate lead which he held against all challenges and won Class 4. In Class 8 Jed Flannery drove his Chevrolet into the lead, fought off challenges and won Class 8 over Floridian Jimmie Crowder and Wisconsin's Dan Vanden Heuvel. The final Saturday race was Class 2-1600 which fell to Dan Baudoux from Michigan. _ It was overcast on Sunday but the Big Wheels Race for kids went off in the dry. The ladies races were next and Gwen Holmes won the Women's. Unlimited section in a Class 9 car while Sarah Tate put her Gilson in the winner's circle over Tracy Silloway. The women's Heavy Metal is generally a good race and this was no exception. While Sherri Parsons led most of the laps she slipped up and Valerie Rehn flew past in her Ford to win the race. Class 1 / 2 brought the crowd to its feet as Brian Collins took off fast in his Chevy powered Chenowth, and he never looked back - he was too far ahead. He surprised a lot of local folks in Class 1. Next up was Class BS and this was another surprise. Cheryl W~lton came from Michigan to win ~he class in her Dodge over five other rigs, all Fords. Congratulations Cheryl! Class 7S had a field of 18 but the battle was between Art Schmitt and John Greaves, with Greaves winning again in his Toyota. Class 1-1600 put22 on the grid and it was a dogfight all the way. Michael, from Florida, led most of the way and won the race while Mark Steinhardt was second followed by Floridian Jason Crowder in his Taylor. The last class race was for 1 lS with 26 cars all over the race course. It sorted out with a win for Lonnie Andrews. Now came the Heavy Metal Championship with the heavy hitters and it was quite a show. In the end Scott Douglas won in a Class 4 Ford followed by Scott Taylor in a Class 8 Ford. The Unlimited Buggy Shoot-Out was greeted by more drizzle but it didn't bother Brian Collins who took off again and nobody could catch him as he won again. Jimmie Crowder won the Non-Production Championship race, and the Limited Buggy Championship went to Dan Baudoux in his Mirage. We will have a full report next month. VEGAS TO RENO will be broadcast in July on ESPN on July 4 at 12 midnight, get out the tape machine, arrd on ESPN 2 for an hour on July 21 at8 a.m. Do tape these and you will see some beautiful country, as well as top notch racing. The Best in the Desert group has big plans for next year with three, maybe four events all in Nevada. The 1997 Silver State Series starts with the Tonopah300 on March 28, 29 and 30, a300 mile race with the start/ finish in Tonopah. Next comes the Silver State 300 on June 20, 21 and 22, a 300 mile one way race with the start in Mesquite, NV and the finish up north in Ely. Then the block buster Vegas to Reno is scheduled for September 18, 19, and 20. lt will start in the Las Vegas area and finish near Reno. It sounds like a fun series with fresh terrain in some races and good sponsors along the trail. Plan to be there! THE FIA, world ruling body for motorsport, has made cars and motorcycles built to SCORE rules legal for their rally raid series. Trophy-Trucks and Baja Bugs are excluded but almost everything else is OK. The list includes Classes 1, 1-2-1600, 3 , 4, 7, 7S, 8 , 9, 10, Stock Sportsman ATV, Superlites, Mini, Stock Full, 20, 21, and 22. This includes the European events as well as those in the African deserts. Sounds like it could be fun. ,,,-Dusty Tirncs

Pag~ 6 July 1996 111orc Trail Notes ••• PERRIS AUTO SPEEDWAY has really taken off and they ran one off road race on a Saturday night in June. Classes scheduled are 4 wheel Pro ATV and Sportsman ATV, Superlites, Class 1-2-1600, Class 10 and Sportsman. The races run a two moto system and all reports seem to like the format and the race track. THE MILLENS ARE SET FOR PIKES PEAK-Rod and Rhys Millen are gearing up for their annual assault on Pikes Peak. Rod Millen, the current full-course Unlimited Class and overall world record holder will be driving the Penzoil/Toyota Celka GT, equipped with specially designed BFGoodrich tires. The vehicle will be powered by a Toyota Racing Development, USA, Inc. (TRD) modified turbo-charged, four cylinder, 2.1 liter engine based on the power plant that was under the hood of Dan Gurneys' championship IMSA OTP cars. Rhys won the Open Rally class and received "Rookie of the Year" honors four years ago said Rod's son, a former mountain bike racer. The transplanted New Zealanders last year saw Rhys come in first against the two wheel drive cars in Showroom Stock Class, actually third behind a pair of 4 WD cars. We wish them the best and all told, the Millens bring a combined 20 years experience back to the world's highest auto hill climb, including four years by Rhys and 16 by the "King of the Hill" Rod Millen. THE CHEVROLET OFF ROAD CHAMPIONSHIP was held at Langlade! County Fairgrounds, in Antigo, WI. Round 2 of the 1996 SODA World Series I of Off Road Racing saw Jack Flannery capture his first double win of the season I at this race. Flannery of Wisconsin Dells, WI powered his four wheel drive 1 Chevy Thunder truck to victory in Class 4 competition on Saturday and added! the fi:: to his SODA win by taking the checkei:ed in the Heavy Metal Challenge 1 on Sunday. From his midway starting position in an inverted grid format,, Flannery navigated his Chevy through the 15 truck Class4 field to take an early: lead. On a course that featured a dirt oval, switchback turns, and high speed! straightaways, Flannery charged out in front where he remained for the 1 duration of the 15 minute sprint. His triumph in the Heavy Metal Challenge! was almost a repeat performance of his Class 4 win. Watch the race on ESPN 2 . on June 24 and 25 and again onJuly28 and July 30 on ESPN. Flannery'sChevy r Thunder truck is supported by Chevrolet and Goodyear Tire. HYUNDAI BOOSTS LEAD IN PRO RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP after Definitive Victory in Pennsylvania. Leaving competitors in the dust, Hyundai driver Paul Choiniere and co-driver Jeff Becker scored a resounding victory in the Elantra rally car at this past weekend's Susquehannock Trail Pro Rally out of Wellsboro, PA. The team finished three minutes ahead of the second place competitor giving Hyundai its third win of the 1996 season and further increasing its lead in the SCCA Michelin Pro Rally Championship. Choiniere, five-time U .S. Champion, said the event reinforced his comfort level with the Elantra which ran faultlessly. "This was an important victory for us because it underscored the Elantra's performance capabilities." The next event for Choiniere and the Elantra will be the world famous Fourth of July Pikes Peak Hill Climb. Although he will be a rookie at the event, Choiniere has been slated as the newcomer most likely to succeed at the Peak because of his history of hill climb and rally wins. In addition to his 11 years of rally experience Choiniere has competed in and won the annual Mount Washington Hill Climb in New England four times in the past five years, breaking the record on three occasions. Hyundai's participation at Pikes Peak dates back to 1992 when Peak veteran Rod Millen piloted a Coupe Turbo to first place in the High Performance Showroom Stock Two Wheel Drive Class. In 1993 Millen raced 1 an Elantra in Open Class finishing second after setting a record breaking qualifying time.

The new section that brought the trail down to the Buffalo Bill's area brought the total length of the loop to 89.47 miles, and it was a three lap event for all but the Class 11, Stock Min·i, and Sportsman classes. They ran only two laps. There was a 10 hour time limit for all.

The Dondels, who'd had two nearly dust-free laps, had a long cushion on their third and final lap, and looked like a shoo-in. But their luck didn't hold. About three-quarters of the way around the car fell victim to an electrical fire, and came to a stop. At that point the lead belonged to Frat. Arciero in Gordon's car, but he was no luckier, and the transmis-sion went out just a few miles down the road. In the meantime, Huffman had a flat, and Brant, whose car wasn't quite healthy, avoided all the pitfalls and slipped past them and to the checkered flag. Huffman got his tire fixed in time to take second place, and Grizzle, with no power steering for his last 25 miles, was third. Rick and Randy Wilson who'd had one flat on their Jimco, were fourth. Rick had dealt with an unexpected complication when their fire extinguisher rattled Kory Scheeler and B.J. Richardson took the Toyota powered Jimco to fourth in Class 10, overcoming damage from a first lap roll over. Brendan Gaughan sails his Chenowth through the silt clouds, home from school in time to race and he finished fifth in Class 10. Chuck Harris, who won the first round in Pro Trucks on very similar ground, ' won this round too, was stuck in the silt for a time, but got unstuck to make up loose of its moorings and rolled around in the cockpit spewing dusty clouds of whatever they're filled with. Tom and Steve Martin, who've been upgrading their Pontiac powered Raceco, had just one flat, and earned fifth place. The Bradleys salvaged a seventh place, and the Dondels were eighth. Gordon and Arciero, who was towed from where he broke all the way through the "short-course" part of the track and across the finish line, by Robby Gordon in his pre-runner, were not official finishers. The spectators loved the spectacle of Arciero on the end of a rope, and with no motive power of his own, flopping through the jumps as he peered through Gordon's dust. Looked uncomfortable. Dwight Lundell, another Phoenix area racer, also drove solo in his A-armed Toyota Powered Chenowth. He trailed in second by about three minutes time. The Class 8 trucks were next to go. Dale White put his Chevy into the lead, with a few seconds more than a minute on Dave W esthem in his Chevy. Dan Smith had been slowed when his Ford began to overheat. It seems that it had been so cool when they tested the day before the crew had decided to tape on some special shrouding to help the truck run warm enough. Then race day dawned a good deal warmer, and the truck was in danger of overheating, so Smith had to stop and peel off the shrouding. He also had a flat. White had everything going for him, and P-Third in Class 10 came George Erl and Mike Halliday in a Penhall who lost a belt late in the day, but they carried on to third place at the finish. ...J w ~ iii 0 w z ~ ...J ~ u en fr z w :i:: K& YOUR OFF-ROAD SPECIALISTS/ PHONE: (714) 441-1212 FAX: (714) 441-1622 TS 23.66 E.

His disap-pointed crew had seen the overall victory· slip out of their hands with that alternator light -which apparently came on for no good. reason. Croll finished just 10 seconds behind Brant, for second overall. Lundell, pleased with his car in its third time out, even though it broke a spindle on the last jump before the finish line, was second. In third it was Erl and Halliday, who'd lost a belt late in the day. And Kory Scheeler and B.J. Richardson, in a Jimco A-armed car, made up time after a first lap rollover, then lost third and car, after replacing his power steering belt. In third it was Neal and Mike Grabowski, their air cleaners collapsing under the weight of the silt. Seeley, who had a rear flat, went into the lead on the second lap, as James and his co-driver, Mike Kalicki, struggled with a broken input shifter shaft. Their crew welded it together. The Grabowskis had even worse problems. Their collapsed air cleaners sucked dirt, and they spent a lot of time "rebuilding carburetors". It took them over six hours to get their second lap finished. Seeley lost a rear trailing arm bushing on the last lap, but his time was still good enough to keep him out front, and he took the win. Kalicki and James were second, 15 minutes later, and they'd also had trouble with clogged air cleaners, though not on the same scale as the Grabow-skis. No one else in the class finished. Seeley was protested, on technical grounds, but was declared legal by the tech folks, and pocketed an extra $500. for his trouble. The Pro-Trucks moved up closer to the front of the start order for this event, starting in front of the 1600 cars, who objected for the most part. And their lap times seem to support the objections of the 1600 drivers who were anywhere from five to 20 minutes faster on that first lap, and they finished with better total times too. It wasn't clear why the trucks were moved up to start in front of the 1600s, because the winning time for their class at the San Felipe race was behind the first seven finishers in the buggy class. In any event, the Ford of Gustavo Vildosola and Brian Stewart was in the lead after lap one, with Chuck Harris, who'd been stuck in the silt beds for a while in his Chevy, in second Early on the last lap White lost his power steering, and with Dave Ashley now in for his share of the drive, the big Ford moved into the lead, and stayed there. They had no problems and Ashley took the checkered flag for his 50th race victory. While Smith and Ashley celebrated, Wes them had no more trouble, not even a flat, and got home in second place. White, weary from the lack of power steering, finished third. Croll ticked off a second lap virtually identical to his first, and of the 32 vehicles that had started in front of him, on! y five were left in front of hii:n, and he was fourth overall. There was a lot of traffic and dust now as they caught up with the slower cars still on their first lap. Lundell held on to second, and George Erl and his co-driver, Mike Halliday moved their Penhall into third place. fourth gear on the last lap and still They ran very tight in Class 1-2-1600 and Tom and Frank Rusich were just a few minutes out of the win finishing fourth in 'the close running class. Class 10 was a big group, with lots of talent. But it was Ray Croll all the way. He had the lead in his A-armed Toyota powered J imco at the end of the first lap, with over three minutes on second place Dwight Lundell in an A-armed Toyota powered Chen-owth. In third it was Chris Harrold in a conventional Jimco, followed by Tim Scalzo and Ryan Arciero in an Acura powered Aceco: Brendan Gaughan ran fifth in his Chenowth, having tossed a fan belt already. Page 11 George Seeley had his new Class 5 ready to race, ran third on the first lap, then had a rear flat but went into the lead on the second lap and he held it to the checkered flag, won a technical protest and was $500 richer. July 1996 Michael James had the first lap Class 5 lead, later broke an input shifter shaft, dropped to second where he finished 15 minutes behind the winner. Dusty Times

Meanwhile, Vildosola and Stewart lost their front shocks and the upper shock . mount, and borrowed some parts from the handy display truck in the parking area, to get theirs going again, and take second place. And Galles and Della Penna took third, as much pleased by their finish as they were to hear that the absent Jamie had finished third in his Trans Am race. Clement and Minga ran out of time for their third lap. Larry Roese/er wheelies the Chevy S-10 out of a ditch en route to winning Class 7 again with Jerry McDonald in the MacPherson Chevrolet that is currently leading the class points. In the 1-2-1600 class, which was a good-sized group for this race, the first lap lead went to Don Lampus, Jr., in his Jimco. He had just 30 seconds on Jason Hatz in his Suspensions Unlimited car, place. John Della Penna, who shared the driving in the Galles family truck, since Jamie was in Phoenix driving in a Trans Am event, ran third, having been caught in a traffic jam. Vildosola and Stewart contin-ued to lead through the second lap, with Harris, having carbur-etion problems, about 13 minutes behind them . Della Penna and Rick Galles lost well over an hour with a steering box crisis but were still third because the rest of the field was in worse trouble. The Todd Clement/Rich Minga team had to change a radiator and sent someone in to Las Vegas to find replacement head gaskets for their truck. Steve Barlow had lost an upper heim on a trailing arm, and the Ampudia brothers, Rogerio and Rodrigo, broke the ball joints on their truck. Harris, who won the first event Dusty Times of the year at Parker, had no and he was 35 seconds in front of problems here, saying it was a Gary Cogbill in aJimco. ln fourth relatively easy race after he was it was Darnen Jefferies in his unstuck.

P-· was fourth another minute and a half later, and now Tom and Frank Rusich, in a Jimco, moved into fifth plate, as Maginness and Ross lost nearly an hour. Their times not varying by more than three or four minutes per lap, the lead three cars continued to run close together up front, and mostly trouble-free. Lampus, who took second here last year, had no problems at all, and got the win, finishing two minutes and 16 seconds ahead of Jefferies, who also reported stopping only for fuel. Cogbill, who was third a minute and six Page 14 seconds later, said he'd had a flat and lost his headers, so his car was "gutless" for the last lap. The Rusich team was fourth, a little over six minutes later, followed in by Rick Paquette and Brad Maurer, in aJimco, in fifth place. Class 7 had a familiar look with Larry Roeseler out in front in his Chevrolet from early on. He had a 33 minute lead at the end of the first lap, and it was Bob Land, in a Ford, in second place. A .J . DeNunzio ran third in his Ford, about an hour down. Robert Guthrie's Ford had an electrical fire and then he never got the first lap done, while Gary Mecham suffered a rollover and a broken spindle, and did only one very long lap in his Ford. Chris Taylor, in still another Ford, had a blown head gasket, and was out on the first lap also. By the end of lap two Roeseler and his co-driver, Jerry McDon-ald, had an hour and a quarter on Land, who was having shock problems, and had also had a flat. McDonald went on with no distractions, to get to the finish line in time for the win, and a fine 14th place overall. Land took second in spite of his shock problems. DeNunzio, who bent his drive shaft on a rock, and also July 1996 lost a front suspension mount, was unable to get his third lap done. In the 7S trucks it was Larry Plank in front at the end of lap one, his Ford 18 minutes in front of second place Brady Helm in his Toyota. Steve Luport had his Ford in third place, another 16 minutes back. Sean Mecham couldn't get lap one finished in his . Ford, and Bruce Landfield and Brett Turley were also out on the first lap. Plank and his co-driver, Scott Steinberger built their lead to 35 minutes by the end of the second lap, and it was still Helm and his co-driver, Bob Graham, in second place. David Winner and Ron Stockwell, in a Toyota, had repaired a broken torsion bar, and were now up to third place, but about an hour back, though David Wiriner drove the Fab Tech Toyota truck hard in Class 7S and the tidy rig came home third in the class that was hard fought in Nevada. · Kirk Kovel and the spiffy looking Ford Bronco only covered two laps in Class 3, but that was all it took to take home the class winning title. Gerardo lribe drove most of the way, his dad Carlos drove the last lap and they had troubles, losing a wheel and had shock woes, but they went on to win Class 5-1600 in Nevada. Tom Dittfield had his 5-1600 Baja Bug flying across the desert and he flew so far that he came in second in Class 5-1600 at the checkers. Dusty Timcs

got the win by virtue of his second lap time. Mark Bunderson drove his Bunderson solo to the Class 9 victory, taking the lead on the second lap: he had to stop for a clutch adjustment but it went smoothly generally and he got the win. Class 5-1600 had only a two car entry here (at San Felipe there were 13, where did they all go?). At the end of the first lap it was very close, with Gerardo lribe, who'd changed a coil, leading Bryan Moynahan by a little over two minutes. On the second lap the lribe car developed some shock trouble, and also, just after the driver-change which put Gerardo's dad, Carlos, into the driver's seat, the left rear wheel and tire fell off. They had to cannibalize some nuts from other wheels to put it back on. Moynahan meanwhile, stopped to put Tom Dittfield in the car, and he had the air filters totally plugged up. The lribes finished Brian and Jim Jeffrey had a good run going in their Class 9 Raceco, despite a broken shock and lost fan belt: and rear skid plate they were second. running at a very good clip. Plank and Steinberger had a sheared dowel pin in their distributor which took a while to ferret out, but they held their lead and came in for the win. Helm and Graham had two flats and they said they ran in the bushes a lot to avoid the silt, and took second place. Winner and Stockwell, with the fast time for this class on the last lap, closed the gap a bit, and finished third. None of the others made it in. Class 3 had three entries, one of which, David Elms in a Jeep W agoneer, started over an hour late and then couldn't finish the first lap. Of the other two, Todd Gatrell, in a Chevy, had the first lap lead by about 14 minutes over Kirk Kovel in a Ford Bronco. On the second lap Gatrell lost about an hour and a half, and Kovel moved to the lead, now an hour Dusty Times and a half in front of Gatrell. But neither of them managed to get their third laps completed.

On the second lap Bunderson moved to the front, as Mora dropped out. Hippler and Fish were now second, 27 minutes back, while Jeffrey and his brother, Brian, were replacing a rear skid pan that had fallen off. They had to filch a replacement from their pre-runner, and now ran another 20 minutes back. Bunderson had to adjust his clutch, but otherwise had a smooth race, and brought it home in first place. The Jeffrey brothers, last year's champions, added oil every 20 miles on the last lap, but took second place, as Hippler and Fish failed to finish. The Stock Full trucks, which started next, were required to run the full three laps for this race, and at the end of the first one it was David Sykes in. front in his Ford, with 14 minutes on James Hall in another Ford. In third it was Mike McComas, in the only Chevy entered in this class, about 12 minutes further back. On the second lap Sykes continued to lead, but now it was Steve Olliges and John Swift in second place in their Ford. Olliges, who'd started, had lost a brake line right off the start, and had spent a discouraging amount of time in his pit right at the start of his day. Robert Hayley was third in his Ford, with a loose nut on his steering box, so he had to keep adding oil. Hall lost a couple of hours, and McComas was running fourth, about five minutes behind Hayley. Sykes overheated his transmis-sion in the silt on the third lap, and was also looking for an air filter at one point. Ultimately, he ran out of time, and couldn't get to the finish line. Olliges and Swift, though they lost first gear and had a broken leaf spring for the last 30 miles, moved up to the front and took the win. Hayley and his co-driver, Jaret Johnson, had some serious front end problems on the last lap, but after some welding were able to make it to the finish line with three minutes and 25 seconds to spare, for second place. McComas was unable to finish. The Stock Mini trucks were led by Leo Brown in his Ford at the end of the first lap, and he had about eight minutes on second place Michael Martin, in another Ford. Martin had blown a main seal, and was adding two quarts of oil at every other pit, and he'd also lost an alternator wire. In third place it was Deputy Steve Williams, in his Ford, about 10 minutes down after a flat. Rob Reinertson was fourth in his Ford, already two hours down. Steve Ghamari and Pete Saldana, in a Toyota, lost a couple of hours with broken shock mounts, but were still running, in fifth place. Martin and Brown had an incredibly close second lap, and finished so close together that Page 16 Robert Hayley and Jaret Johnson had some serious front end problems in the Ford but squeaked home second in Class Stock Full after some welding. observers couldn't figure who took the win. The officials finally added up the times, and Martin had the victory by 51 seconds. Brown, who said he never stopped for anything, not even to fix his hood which kept flying up, was second, and Williams, who fouled a couple of plugs, broke his win streak and finished third, about two hours back. Ghamari and Saldana were fourth, with only 22 minutes left of their time ltrY"t,1.r The Class 11 cars stayed away in huge numbers, except for. Victor Barajas and his nephew, Angel Barajas, who are making a real effort to win the points this season. They had a hard time getting to the race, somehow blowing three motors in the process. During the race they had less trouble, reporting no problems except for "too much silt", and completed their required two laps in seven hours and Zl mim1tf"s. Steve Williams ran third after a flat in Stock Mini Truck action, but he kept the Ford together and took third in class about two hours back. The best finish among the few Sportsman entries was the 1-2-1600 Mirage of Barry Nelson and Michael Mulder who did their two laps in five hours and 40 minutes. Second overall in Sportsman in a car listed as a VW, looks like a Class 9, and was second on time, seven hours flat, driven by Tim Hanna and Tom Degen.

Ivan Stewart flies high off a man made jump near the finish line in his Toyota. He was out horsepowered on this course but he did his best to keep up, and he was third in Trophy-Trucks. Rob MacCachren corners hard in his low rider Ford F-150 Trophy-Truck, but he was slowed on course by troubles, and finished fourth in the class at the finish line. Curt LeDuc heads for the finish line in the Jeep Cherokee Trophy-Truck still holding all its body panels at this point. Curt finished fifth in this race in Trophy-Trucks. SCORE PRIMM 300 TROPHY-TRUCKS Gordon's On A Roll By Judy Smith Photos: Trackside Photos Inc. Robby Gordon streaks across the desert near stateline in his super Ford F-150 Trophy-Truck. A late flat slowed him to second at the finish but the winner lost a position on a penalty and Robby sailed into his third win in a row in this class. Robby Gordon combined a little luck and some fine driving in his Ford to take the SCORE Primm 300 Trophy-Truck event, for his third win in three tries. The Trophy-Trucks started at dawn, and ran three laps of a little over 48 miles and then one full circuit of the course for the Pro classes, for a total of 234 miles. They were scheduled to be off the course and out of the way by the time the Pro classes took their green flag at 10:30. Starting one minute apart, the 11 trucks hustled out into the early morning, following Jason Baldwin, who was first off the line in his Ford. His start position gave him a terrific edge, as it meant an almost dust free day for Baldwin, while those behind him struggled to see for miles at a time. Overhead shots from the TV helicopters show Trophy-Trucks floundering through the shrubs as they tried to pick out the trail when enfolded in a cloud of dust. Part of the time the wind blew the right way to clear the track, but it was not helpful all the time. At the end of the first lap Baldwin was still first on the road, but Rob MacCachren had the lead in his Ford, with 10 seconds on Baldwin who was second. In third it was Robby Gordon, another 20 seconds back, having started 10th in line because of his win at the previous event. Gordon faced a day of heavy dust. Ivan Stewart was fourth in his Toyota, a minute later, with Curt LeDuc fifth in his Dusty Times Jeep Grand Cherokee. Larry Ragland was already having drive line problems with his Chevrolet. When they finished that first short loop, they found that the water trucks had done their duty with a vengeance, and the short-course type track in front of the bleachers ( which held a crowd, even for the 6 a.m. start) was sloppy wet. The Simon brothers' Ford slid past the start/finish turn, took out some snow-fence, stalled, and then drove over a stop sign when it got going again. Several others had at least some trouble with the turn, but Javier Espinoza, in his Chevy, did almost exactly what the Simon truck did, except that the water thrown up by his tires got to his ignition and he lost about four minutes before he got started again. At the end of the second loop, it was Baldwin in the lead, moving very fast after having a mysterious fuel injection problem on the first lap. He now had a lead of 10 seconds on MacCachren and the Simon and Simon truck, which were tied for third. Gordon was fourth now, and LeDuc ran fifth. Ragland was running again, but he was a full lap down. Baldwin was still enjoying no dust, and in fact at the end of that second loop he'd been 29 minutes behind the car in front of him {last in the pack), and then at the end of his third loop he had 1 7 minutes of clear air in front of him as he took off into the long lap. He was still in the lead, but Gordon had recorded the best time for a short lap, at 43:04, for a 67.12 miles per hour average, and was only a little under two minutes behind him. The Simon brothers, Dave and Paul, ran third, less than a minute later, and MacCachren was fourth with LeDuc still in fifth place. The long lap changed a lot of things. MacCachren had a rear flat that got wrapped around itself and was hard to remove. Stewart and the Simon brothers both had flats, and Ragland was out for the day. Jeff Lewis, in his Chevrolet, ran afoul of a hefty power pole, which did enough damage to stop him for a while, and the Simon brothers took a nasty hop with their front suspension already compressed, and ended up on their side, crosswise on the course. It took them a while to get back up on their wheels, and in the .meantime oil dripped out of places it shouldn't have. Baldwin ran a clean race, looking smooth and fast, and he was the first one to cross the finish line. Of course, he knew that Gordon was pushing hard and could conceivably catch him on adjusted time. By now Gordon was the second car on the road, but he had a flat front and ran five or ten miles on it to his pit. Baldwin, while waiting for Gordon to cross the line, got the unpleasant news that one of his pit crews, thinking his fuel injection problem was serious, had tried to rendevouz with him July 1996 Jason Baldwin was the unlucky one in Trophy-Trucks, winning on the trail but dropped to second on a penalty last April at the new and exciting Primm 300 making it 1-2 for Ford.

SHORT COURSE RACING AT GLEN HELEN OHV PARK McKenzies Championship Series • Round Three By Ron Miller Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow was present when the metal marauders of McKenzie's spon-sored Glen Helen Off Road Short Course Series swept into town for Round Three. A still April day provided ideal conditions to showcase the vast array of off road talents assembled to do battle. There was another fine turnout both on the track and in the stands. There were no real conspicuous absences from the top contenders in each class. As we approach the halfway point in the '96 series, some of last year's champs are threatening to run away and hide with their respective points titles. Gary Gall, Mario Bustamante, Steve Owens and Denise Wittman have each opened up commanding leads in their classes. Each of the "Fab Four" has drawn better than 60 points clear of their nearest rival. Close behind are Jason Taylor and Brian Collins, each sporting healthy leads (bordering 50 points) over their class challeng-ers. Rennie Awana, John Hulse-bosch and Matt Sweeney are all enjoying sizeable leads as well. The tightest races are a one-point difference between Sean McKen-:ie and Dan Cannon in BS, and the eternal battle between Steve Bishop and Dan Mathews ( three points). Alright, enough hype, it's "showtime". Race One, heat one, was, of course, a battle between Steve Bishop and Dan Mathews in the Class 1-2-1600 Short Course cars. These two have fought more than the Bundys and the Farris' combined. Bishop won the battle but eventually Mathews won the war. In heat one, Lee Patten was third. In the main, Mathews turned the tables on Bishop to earn the overall win while Rick Boyer raced to third place. In a post-race interview Mathews said "forget the first race" and thanked the Lord, Mike his mechanic, and his wife. Bishop said he had a good first race, but the final was tough. He thanked Bishop Racing, the Trans People and all in attendance.

In the Superlites, heat one saw Casey Mears race to victory over Greg George, with Rennie Awana back in third. Mears and George again finished ahead of Awana in the main heat, but it was George who grabbed the top spot this day. In his post race interview, George stated that he had made · some gearing changes, which proved effective and aided his victory. The full field also consisted of Todd Wittman, Peter Kay, Alton Hebert, Bob Borella, Joe Price and Josh Hulsebosch. In Pilot action, Denise Witt-man was uncontested,' and even graced the tower with one of her post-race interviews. Denise stated that she missed her usual competition, Chris Wortman. Guy Saverdra in the Odyssey Class was unable to score any finisher points, having troubles in the first race.

His ultra smooth style set him apart from the crowd. Ken Curtis earned the second spot overall. Owens commented, in his post race interview, on the good condition of the track, how smooth his bike was running and the need for more competition in this class. In A TV Intermediate, Adam Camp-bell was a clearcut winner. He blitzed the first heat field, finishing ahead of Richard Yakkey. Buzz Clucas finished in third, followed by Chris Alva-rado. The main was all Campbell. He scored the win with Clucas and Alvarado moving up to second and third respectively. Dwayne Kastor finished fourth to complete the overall placings. Campbell commented that he had some small problems with his motor, but really enjoyed the track, complimenting Owens and thanking all his sponsors. The balance of the competitors in this large field were Scott LeTour-neau, Cory Clarizio, Garrett Mathews and Jason Fox. Class 1-2-1600 Desert was a match race between two first class racers. John Hulsebosch, of Alta Loma got the best of Valencia's Gary Bussjaeger in the early bout, but, Bussjaeger came back strong in the main and would not be denied. A confident run on the lead propelled him to that long sought win over Hulsebosch that, until this race, had seemed so elusive. In Class 9, a trio of competitors took part. Dan Mustoe, in the Lothringer prepared machine, won both heats in another good showing. Mustoe had some transmission problems, but was able to hang on for the win. Dan Berry, coming from the LRDR desert circuit, made his debut on this course, collecting a pair of seconds. Arto Ylikangas rounded out the scoring while having a very long day. In Class 5-1600 Mario Busta-mante sped to solid scores in both heats. Steve and Paul Borio took turns giving chase but Bustamante was just too tough. Jeffrey Hantz had a pair of thirds to grab second overall, and Charles Smith earned a pair of fourths for third overall on the day. Bustamante thanked his sponsors, the fans and hoped to be back for another interview next time. Class 1 was owned by Brian Collins, who swept early and late. Christopher Neil out of Cathedral City, mounted the only challenge and finished with dual runner-up placings. Collins said he had a great time and thanked Gary Gall for giving him some competition. Collins had just come from the SCORE Primm 300 in Las Vegas the previous day. The usually highly competitive Pat Dean ( racing this class and the super 1600s) and Tom Maynor suffered problems early in the day. Class 5 saw an uncontested run by Mike Bakholdin in his debut. Although Bakholdin lost his coil late in the race, he remains undefeated and hopes to return soon. In Super 1600, Gary Gall was a double-winner over Aaron Hawley. Gall's point total for the young season has already reached 112, leaving only one racer with more ( 124 ). Gall enco'untered problems with his engine, tangled with Hawley, but still had fun, thanking his sponsors. Class 7 was a walkover for Rosario Adkins, as was the Stock mini win for Dennis Beckwith. In Class 7S, Ramiro Gonzales has been dominant. He continues to look very impressive as he consistently distances himself from his 7S challengers. In the early heat Dean Williams was a distant second, with Kingman, Arizona's Stacey Pike finishing third. In the main, Pike grabbed second, behind the runaway Gonzales, to place him just ahead of Williams, the third place truck. That's 124 points already amassed by India's #777. Fourth through seventh were Pat Soffe, Jerry Beall, Jim Highley and Chris Roberts respectively. In Class 11, Odie Munoz and Dennis Sletten continued their tight points battle. These two warriors are separated by a mere seven points going into Round Four. This day belonged to Munoz as he took the checkered flag in both heats and laid claim to the win. Sletten was forced to settle for second ahead of Robert Henderson. The Rally Car win went to Matt Sweeney. His effort took the measure of Steve Scott and Dan Hook in both heats. Get those rally cars out here, boys! The climax of the day's festivities usually is the Truck Race. On this occasion, of the three competitors signed up for Classes 3, 4, 6 & 8, only John Cameron was able to finish in heat one, this after a spectacular roll early in the race. The main wasn't much better as only Jason Taylor was still moving at the finish. Thus, Taylor got the first place trophy and Cameron placed second. Dwight Greene suffered setbacks all day. Class BS -Stock Full Size saw DANCO Racing's Dan Cannon finally put it all together, and he looked good. Cannon has quietly emerged on this circuit as not only an outstanding driver, but, also a Class Act. Cannon raced to a sweep of both heats to draw within one point of Sean McKenzie. McKenzie maintained his top spot by twice placing second. These two "gentlemen of the sport" are quick to heap praise on each other, and, promise to make the race for BS very interesting as the series progresses. Cannon commented on his new suspension, saying it was worth the wait, even though he got the parts at the very last minute. He thanked his pit crew, Chief Arnold Montoya, and Bob Beyer, the man who puts it all together. Shad Kennedy rounded out the field with numerous problems in the first race. Our biggest break of the season (70 days) gives both the racers, and silver-tongued announcer Greg Soaper, a chance to catch their breath before we blast into summer. More than just the weather will be heating up when we reconvene on June 30th. The halfway point in the season series coinsides with the arrival of summer, so, Round Four should be circled on every serious race fan's calendar. I'll be there, and, I hope you will be, too.

Pavel Sibera and Petr Gross drove their Skoda Felicia 1500 Kit Car into second place in W2L and 6th overall. The new engines are not yet ready to rally. Vitor Lopes and Sergio Paia retired their Citroen ZX 16 valves with some serious electrical trouble. It is an interesting looking car with good spares available. Adruzilo Lopes and Luis Lisboa drove this Peugeot 306 Maxi hard until they retired with suspension trouble, which was a common complaint on the rally. 19th TAP RALLY DE PORTUGAL Rui Madeira Wins His Home Rally Text & Photos: Marrin Holmes Rui Madeira and Nuno Silva drove the HF Grifone Toyota Celica GT-Four ST 205 and they led from the first day. The lead was only two minutes most of the distance. He was the first Portuguese to win his home rally in ten years. Official Toyota team cars, in disguise, finally gained their first success of the 1996 season after disappointments on the first two World Championship frame-work rallies. Running in curious and confusing circumstances, reigning World Group N Cup winner Rui Madeira, with Nuno Silva co-driving, became the first Portuguese driver to win his home event for ten years, but this honor was on a W2L championship event. The team that came away with top honors was SEAT who won their category and put themselves just two points in front of Skoda in the 2-Liter Championship. It was Portugal's turn to suffer from the FIA's rotation system. Only one entry from an official World Championship team, that of Ari Mokkonen's Mike Little prepared Ford. In W2L SEAT and Skoda entered officially, Renault and Peugeot participated through official dealer teams, and competitive entries came from GM. While Toyota cars led the overall event throughout, four manufacturers took turns to lead WZL! There were fewer entries (114 down to 80), fewer spectat-ors, fewer participating manu-facturers (last year's event was both a W2L qualifier and WCR. Madeira was a last minute switch from Ford to Toyota and his major complaint about the Toyota was the poor driver visibility. Freddy Loix was also driving a works style Toyota and was one of the favorites to win. In W2L SEAT had taken a lot of trouble upgrading their cars and looked strong. The Skoda team still had the 1.5 liter engines, but it was the first on gravel for a serious effort by Peugeot Kit Car. Dusty Times Renault fielded W2L favorite Jose-Carlos Macedo. The organizers had a maze of rules to work under, pressure from above apparent! y to adapt to the WCR norm with a clover leaf system route and service parks and still comply with the W2L rules which allow two service cars per entered car team and free roadside servicing. And there is always spectator trouble. This year a drunk in the middle of the road playing matador was struck by a rally car, and two stages later a policeman was hit at the end of a stage by an arriving car. The last stage of the day was canceled by the FIA Safety Officer due to many uncontrolled spectators. In the overall competition Loix went straight into the lead, but soon had a flat which dropped him to tenth. By the end of the day he was fifth behind Madeira, the Fords of Mokkonen, Peres and the privateer Jose Miguel. In W2L there were three leaders in the early stages, first Puras' SEAT, then Macedo's Renault, and after stage 3 Erwin Weber's SEAT. Breakage was heavy, all different things. On stage 10 Macedo went off the road, while holding the category lead was the 306 Maxi. It wasn't until 0630 in the morning that results of Etape 1 were posted, showing 60 cars still in the event. Loix had only recovered 30 seconds on the first day, the early flat had been costly. Loix had gear trouble and still began to reduce Madeira's lead. Mokkonen was going really fast when he had to slow with clutch trouble. Lopes started the day leading W2L but he broke one shock, then another and his damaged suspension forced him to retire. This left Puras leading Triner and Sibera, the three just five seconds apart at half distance in the rally. At the end of the Etape Puras was 3 7 seconds ahead of T riner, on the hard clean surfaces of the Viseu. It was a cloudy morning for Etape 3, but it stayed dry for the first two stages. Then it began to rain and the fog came in on the higher ground also. Attrition was the morning call in the Arganil Hills. Mokkonen went off a right hand bend on stage 24 and rolled out of the rally. Peres went out with a broken cam belt. Toyotas were now running first and second, Madeira and Loix, and not much more changed to the finish line. The Celicas came home first and second, Madeira leading Lojx by less than two minutes. HF Grifone had entered Loix, who was supposed to be entered by Toyota Belgium. The lead T oyotas certainly looked like works cars. With their Cologne number plates they certainly look-ed like works cars! At the finish of Dusting the spectators here Jesus Puras and Claudio de/ Barrio were first if; W2L and 5th overall in the SEAT Ibiza Kit Car, which had been seriously upgrad.ed for the 1996 season. the rally privateer Miguel came third, the only finisher from the potentially strong Ford entry, and Kamioka's Subaru came fourth. In W2L Weber got ahead of Azeredo, while Puras was well ahead when Triner had an oil leak · from his gearbox which caused the clutch to slip. At the first rest halt they patched it up but got a ten mintue penalty for the effort. T riner was disappointed. "This is my unlucky rally. Three years out FOR SALE of the past four I have had problems in Portugal." The work was carried out, but the clutch slip continued to the finish. Weber also just made the finish with gearbox trouble; he was helped by friends who pushed his car along the way. Four Manufacturers now head the 2L championship after two events. SEAT 85, Skoda 83, Renault 75, GM 74, just 12 points between them.

AUSTRALIAN OFF ROAD STADIUM RACING Wells Wins, While Whelchel Has Woes in Downunder Stadium By Darryl Smith spinning off the track. A restart saw Mendham lead the pack but a tire blow-out ended a fine run. Manns took over and was never challenged. Whelchel again had Bennett to contend with and got past this time only to find strong opposition in Mickle. Whelchel's run of disatrous luck continued with the blower belt letting go. Manns took the win with½ lap to Mickle and a two wheeling Bennett in third from his rear of field start position. The Grand Final saw Whelchel on the front row, sadly because it was top scorer to the rear. Corbett took the early lead but was eventually hauled in by Whelchel showing incredible skill.

Andy Ziems took second over Bruce W atman now sporting BFGoodrich sponsor-ship. Ziems took top points for the 1600 sub-category. Daryn Maggs took the lead spot in Heat 2 and was driving well holding out champion Daren Wells. Barry Johnson soon slowed with turbo failure while last meeting feature winner, Chris Watman was out with no second gear. Wells got past Maggs and took the win in the turbo Yokohama car. Maggs came in second as the lead 1600 car, while another 1600 was third in Bob Graham. Heat 3 saw Jobe on the pole and he cleared out, with Wells chasing him. Mendham was doing well considering he was jumping straight out of his truck into the buggy. Ziems was now having trouble as he had no synchro in the gearbox. The top three were all together with Jobe leading Wells and Bruce War-man. And that was how they finished in heat 3. The Class Final would be great with Jobe and Wells the front row. The hairpin saw everybody trying to push each other aside and this let the 1600s of Bruce W atman and Ziems take over the lead. Jobe lost quite a few placings while Wells was luckier and soon took over second place. W atman clipped a barrier and almost went over, this let Wells through to ·"II: ~ .· .. --· --·~,w'> lead while Jobe had come up to be fourth. Mendham had stopped due to a broken axle.

Amazingly before long Wells was in second after starting in the rear of the field.Wells soon took over the lead while W atman wanted to go with him and keep in touch, however Watman soon came to a halt with electrical failure.

Maggs had driven great all night and took second and was the first 1600. Matt Martin had been just out of the places all night but made up for that with a fine third place in the Grand Final. Ziems, Graham and Scott Brown completed the field. Again it was a great night of Stadium Off Road racing, certainly the fastest growing and most popular sport at the moment. The crowds are loving it and the added TV coverage is gaining more fans every meeting. Personal thanks go to Holden for the loan of a new Frontera 4x4 which made the journey both economical and comfortable. Daren Wefls had a great stadium event - 1 class win, 1 class final win, and a win in the Grand Final. The turbo Nissan driver made Yokohama happy as they were event co-sponsors too. Richard Bennett throws the big Chev around the stadium with great success. He had one heat win, a third in Class Final and lost the Grand Final on the last corner but held on to second. USA star Jerry Whelchel was afl smiles prior to his first Australian stadium race; however electrical problems and broken blower belts made his night a disaster. Daryn Maggs (20) ran second in a heat but saved the best for the last as he drove so well in the Grand Final he was second and the first 1600 home. Here he lifts a wheel staying ahead of Scott Brown.

Calvin spending time with our favorite people, in one of Chevy's gorgeous new trucks, what could be better? The extended cab Fleetside came in a Quicksilver Metallic paint scheme and the single color makes the truck look a lot bigger than it really is. This was a short wheelbase, short bed variety, more than adequate for anyone's needs. It was of the two wheel drive family, all we needed as in Caliente access to the race course is quite limited and we had no plans to go too far into the outback. A definite "10" in the looks department, the 1996 Chevy extended cab pickup is a performer too! It is sure-footed and rugged, yet still offers luxury and comfort to those lucky enough to own one. Uniroyal Tiger Paws, P235/ 75Rl5 M&S were the connection to the ground and they did very nicely in the short bit of off roading we did and they certainly• handled well on the road as well as being very quiet.

The drivers portion has a six way power option, allowing almost any position you can imagine. There is a fold down arm rest which divides the seat in half, a most comfortable device, but only available when there are less than three persons up front. Electric-ally operated lumbar support allows you to set your own comfort level with the touch of a button, inflating an air device to support your lower back. I love the gimmicks and this particular one is a great help on long trips, taking away most of the strain of hours in the seat. The extended cab section has quite a bit of room and it also contains a all-the-way across bench seat, not as well padded as one might like, but very handy for transporting an extra soul or two from point to point. The seat folds up and away with a touch of the finger and there is then lots of room for storage, a particular selling point for me as when we travel with cameras and such, it is always so nice to leave them under lock and key and out of sight to the public at large. Creature comforts abound, there is practically every device known to man within easy reach of your fingertips. Electric window and door locks are included, almost a necessity in a pickup as it is a hell of a long reach across to unlock the passenger door by hand. These controls are nestled on the armrest portion of the doors, easy to get to but nicely out of the way too. Also included is the marvelous electronic light compensating rear view mirror, which comes complete with built-in compass and is yet another fun accessory. Electronic cruise control awaits your commands and of course, a tilt adjustable steering wheel helps to make life better. The control, panel and instru-_ment cluster are the same, or close to it as last years model and that ain't all bad. The instruments are easily seen and easy to read and all controls are within easy reach of the driver. A tachometer and speedometer dominate the instrument cluster and on the stick shift. models a little light comes on to tell you it is time to shift gears. The normal gauges are there for your enjoyment and the usual assortment of lights and buzzers to alert you of something you forgot to do, like fastening your seat belt. Heat, fresh air controls, along with the marvelous air condition-ing controls are located center dash with a variety of settings, also easy to see and to understand. The AM/FM stereo electronic, listening device comes with a clock and stereo cassette and, of course, enough power to blow out the windows. We did only a bit of off the pavement driving and that was on somewhat graded dirt roads. The Uniroyals worked well on the soft to loose dirt and there were absolutely no complaints on the highway, smooth and quiet. Handling was super, quite a bit of curvy winding roads and it was sort of fun throwing the truck into some of the corners. As stated before, there is power up the kazoo, lots of brakes, making it a fun truck to drive while basking in comfort. It was comfortable all the time and we did do a few long stretches on the trip. Fuel mileage was good too, averaging over 17 miles per gallon with no participation on my part. If you drove a bit more sedately, you could up those numbers considerably. Did I like the Chevy pickup? You bet! It is a great vehicle for work or for pleasure and it is fun. The specification chart details all the options and the dollar figures that go with them. Try one on for size and see if you don't agree with me. The front split bench seat with fold-down arm rest is both roomy and comfortable. Seat adjustments are myriad and your comfort is assured.

Class 4 seems to belong to Don and Chris German, as here Chris takes the flag for yet another victory in class. They had to work for this one as Ron Lammer was the early leader, and others were knocking on the door. Shad Balch ran his Class 7S truck with the heavy metal and he did very well, finishing a fourth in Class 4, beating the desert Forest Creasy heads down a deeply rutted trail en route to second in Class 9 at the finish. Although he didn't go the distance, Creasy was second in class. he stopped in his pits at check point one, there was no flat and no damage noted, so he contin-ued. In the rocky section before check point two, the tire was flat and Denton stopped to make a field tire change. After the car fell off •the jack three times, he was back under way, about 15 minutes off the pace, and now having to stop at check point two pits to get a rear on the car and the spare back to position. The first 10 car to check point four was LaPlante but a slipping clutch put him into the pits for over an hour as his crew came out to make repairs and get him under way. Taking the lead at this point was now Bowman who held on for the rest of the lap, nine minutes ahead of Denton at the end of lap one. Dale Smith ( 1044) was just four minutes behind. With all four wheels staying on the car, Denton was up to the top position, now six minutes ahead of Bowman. Mid race pit stops had Clayton Scudder take over the driving for Denton, George Reese take over for Bowman, and Richard Lesher take over for Ryan who were now up to third, 1:15 back. Scudder would pick up the pace and cut five to eight minutes off Denton's lap times. By the checkered flag, Scudder had 57 minutes over Reese, and Lesher was 1:29 back for third. Leading off the seven car field in the 1600's was Larry Folsom ( 1691 ). Folsom had a dust free run most of the day out front of his class. At the end of lap one, Folsom was just two minutes ahead of Ken Ruff (1641) with Perry Dennington ( 1661) one minute behind Ruff and Abreu Racing (1658) four minutes behind Dennington. Folsom would be out front all day except the start of lap three when he was one minute behind Ruff with Abreu now just two minutes out of first place. Dennington would retire his car half way through the second lap with a blown motor. Ruff would have his problems too and drop off the pace being nearly an hour back at the finish. On the final lap, Folsom made a charge to set fast lap since the car was feeling very fast. Just before check point three though, he would DustyTimcs instead of the car. · Lance Rhinehart accepts congratulations from his crew as he finished first in class, led for a lap and a half, broke a ball joint but he pressed on and won. . watch a front wheel leave the car as the lug nuts had fallen off. Limping in to the next out pit for repairs cost him just over two minutes setting him off the pace. At the finish line, Folsom was the winner, 27 minutes over Abreu Racing with Ruff in third. 1600 vet class had two sign up with Doug Seymour (72) making the jump from Novice class to finish all four laps for first in class, fourth 0/ A in 1600's. Heavy Metal class had 12 pro trucks with Ron Lammer ( 499) leading the pack off and go toe-to-toe with Don & Chris German (401) all day. It started on lap one when Lammer was two minutes ahead at check point four. Giving chase at this point was Steve Bruner ( 407) and Tom Scahill (899) debuting his new truck. At the end of the first lap, German was just 26 seconds ahead of Lammer with Scahill 1: 18 back and Bruner 5:00 behind them. Setting the most consistent and steady lap was Gordon Scott ( 480) being four minutes behind Bruner. Half way through lap two German was out front now with a two minute lead over Scahill and Lammer was now three minutes over German and 16 minutes ahead of Scahill. Scott was comfortably back in fourth with Shad Balch (726) over an hour behind for fifth. On the last lap Lammer got two flats and younger Chris German passed but didn't see him in the pits. At the finish line, Chris looked around and said "Where is he, I thought he was in front of me, I couldn't see dust but thought he was still in front of me". Lammer did finish, eight minutes behind. Scott came in third with very consistent lap times as Scahill retired the effort after only three laps. Rounding out the finishers was Shad Balch for fourth, and Steve Bruner for fifth. In Heavy Metal Vet action, three trucks entered and it was Chad Wilson ( 4 20) completing three laps for the win ahead of Kevin Mills (25 ). Four Class 9's entered to battle for three laps. Lance Rhinehart (916) toook off first and held on for the first lap lead, five minutes ahead of Forest Creasy (917) and 29 minutes ahead of Mae Long (915 ). At check five on lap two, Rhinehart broke a front ball joint and spent over an hour and twenty minutes chasing parts and making repairs. Creasy would have troubles too and come around just 15 minutes ahead of Rhinehart. Long dropped out of the race on teh second lap. Creasy would drop out on the last iap and Rhinehart would be the sole finisher for the class win - his third desert win in as many races, six of seven races won in Class 9. The novice field was entered by eight rookie drivers. Rob Parsons ( 10) was out front, just two minutes ahead of young John Creasy (76) with Grandpa Creasy co-driving.

Shelburne, Vermont's Choiniere jumped to a two minute lead early in the event, but saw it all slip away when a faulty coil created an intermittent electrical problem that delayed the four wheel drive Elantra on 1.,. stage six. The Hyundai stopped ' ' sputtering just in time, Choiniere ,. . .... recaptured the lead on stage eight and held on for the finish.

Running without all those powerful rally lights the Escort dropped almost three minutes behind during the night time running. Choiniere,Joy, and Merrill, "the big three" ofSCCA Pro Rally traded fast stage times throughout the rally's second day, but it was Choiniere who had the speed when it counted, and the lead at the finish. Selcuk Karaman~glu and Y orgi Bittner in an Eagle Talon topped off their west coast sweep of the production GT class finishing fourth overall. That's three class wins in six weeks for the quiet man from Bath, Maine. Fifth overall were Rui Brasil and Carlos Tavares in the Suntrips Audi Quattro. The San Jose crew were down on power from the start, :rnd a series of mechanical problems dropped them down the finishing list. The first two wheel drive finisher was the Retro Racing Datsun 510 of Mike Whitman and Ben Bradley in sixth overall. Whitman's 1972 Datsun edged David Peterson and Greg Chal-oupka in the Northstar Motor-sports Volkswagen · GTI by five seconds for the group two title. That's five seconds difference after almost three hours of racing over the twisting, turning, unpaved roads of the Rim. The well developed group two cars continue. to provide great competition from a wide variety of makes and models. Group two competitors are restricted to 2400cc displacement, normally aspirated engines, but they typically finish ahead of far more powerful vehicles. In addition to Whitmsn's 510 and Peterson's VW, the lead pack of group two cars included Bill Malik and Ren Phillips in the Valencia Volvo 240 and Doug Schrenk and Sean Tennis in the Scandia Saab 900. Schrenk's Saab posted quick times early, but retired when illness struck co-driver Tennis. Malik's Volvo was in the chase until late in the event, then a broken frame knocked him from the competition. The battle between Whitman and Peterson went down to the final stage, with Whitman/Bradley edging ahead for the victory. Other top ten finishers in-cluded Dennis Chizma and John Forespring in the production GT class Mitsubishi 3000 GT in eighth overall. Another fast southwestern 510, this one crewed by Pete Lahm and Jimmy Brandt, finished ninth. The new group five class was captured by Ralph Kosmides and Joe Noyes in the Ruby's Rest-aurant Toyota Supra. It was the third straight class win for Toyota, made easier after the Scandia Saab of Sam Bryan and Rob Walden rolled out of contention midway through the rally. Kosmides and Noyes battled suspension problems on their way to tenth overall. The list of DNFs was almost as long as the list of finishers, including Tom Ottey and Pam McGarvey in the Red Roof Inn Hyundai, third fastest on stage one, but out with overheating on stage two.

'The Straight Poop' From the Big Wahzoo The only race report during this period is the Baja 500. And, it ran only two days before my press deadline. So ... as far as most of this month's space is concerned, I guess the 01' Wahzoo will pretty much just rant on about what-ever. I need an informant to find out how prospective member Burl Beverege got the nickname "Hurl". You know, just in case a Checker motorhome warning is needed. I got three messages in my mayonaise jar this month, two notes and a bullet. One note was from a deep undercover operative on loan from the Lost Gonzo Air Force's Intelligence Unit. He strongly suggested that I keep an even closer eye on Peralta. Claims that Lou is now combining Prozac, red wine, and Tabasco Sauce on Wednesday nights and it appears to be turning him into an even worse Peruvian weenie. The other note suggested I get off La Rana's ass, "since the Checkers are ohtiiously not nmnin' his races'', and use tha·t column space to start exposing the 'Club users'. To this anonymous member, whose concern I respect, let me give you a serious answer. As far as Castro is concerned, he's an off road race promoter whose accepted enough Checker money over the years to always be a potential topic in this column. As far as pointing out and/ or embarassing any so called users in our Club, fask ya, whose gonna make up that list? If ya asked any twenty Checkers to make up a list of the top ten assholes in our Club, I'm sure both of us would show up on more than one of them. This W ahzoo decided long ago to let the Club's annual points system identify our 'underachievers', and spend this space blowin' smoke up Checkers who rise to the 0ccasion, and pokin' fun at those of us that try and don't. This last note writer also suggested that the Wahzoo cease all references to those other support teams. This is not realistic. First off the Checkers are almost always cooperating with our other desert race support counter-parts out at the races, mostly on the lending end, so obviously we'd like to keep in touch. Secondly, the other support teams represent a whole lot of regular non-Checker off road racers who pay for the purse and trophies, plus providing the competition to throw dirt at that we all go out there for. And lastly, these other pit organizations are a legitimate and not so insignificant part of our sport, and should never be off limits when their actions affect the Club. Plus, as a Checker, it's fun to poke a little fun at them once in a while just because I can. What's with the VP? The points boards, the dash plaques, the newsletters, and Morgan, all have been missing more often than not lately. Hey Hopalong, what happened to all that rah rah shit from the election? Prez Hastings now has a cute new perm but sadly is about to get one of his middle fingers cut off because of some kinda growth? Obviously, 'Curley John' is now gonna have to learn how to pick his nose with one of the other nine. Look for the missing digit to probably show up at a weekly raffle in the near future. Richard Young is now back in town recovering from his heart surgery so he'll probably be down at the Baja 500 Race. Reverend Roy recently returned from a southern cross country vacation and the Bahamas driving sonie classic old Lindon he bought. Claims he and his old lady covered over 6,000 trouble free miles as they ran the back roads through 18 different states during their trip. All the time sportin' California plates on that big yellow land yacht they were driving, and never once got arrested! And, what's up with our Club's reknown penis doctor? Information on his recently suspended activities have been slim. But, after Josh flipped the Rosenstein's 1-2-1600 car three times during the Vegas/Reno race, I'll bet Peter tried to talk ol' Dad into comin' out of retirement just long enough to sew one of his practice penises right on to the top of lil' Brother's head. Tony Tellier has moved to Germany to work for the Luftwaffe. But, he's rerortedly wearin' out his welcome over there quickly and should be home soon. And, what's happened to Kassanyi? It's rumored that his wife has changed him over from Dr. Checker to Chief Checker and now has him workin' at one of those big Indian casinos in Cabazon havin ' pictures taken with sticky little kids sittin' on his knee. Say it ain't so Steve! The Club currently has a good supply of Checker T-shirts available every Wednesday night. These, of course, are to be worn only by our members, their immediate families, and/ or your latest squeeze. New Club rosters are also now available. The Ace Hardware raffle prizes also seem to recently be getting bigger and more bizarre. The highlight is always when something comes up that is actually made in America. After a brief strike over Club rules, Files is once again putting the Club race maps together for his Checker'Buds. Atta way John. Last month's Dusty Times printed an opinion piece that may or may not relate to the Checkers. Some non-Checker gave his opinion in the Soap Box Section on properly operating your FM radio during the running of an off road race. Although no one was specifically chastised, all of our members should make a point of reading it. Hopefully, articles like this will lessen the number of times our guys have to remind some of our own loudmouths to "shut the f--k up"! CHECKERSPACE -Once again, the Checkers are now on line at: www.vmar.com/idra on the World Wide Web. and temporarilly, at least until this Wahzoo gets my act together, any e-mail messages for the Big Wahzoo can be sent to the W ahzoo through the IDRA and they will be relayed promptly. The Wahzoo's Straight Poop Cyberspace Column will also be updated with new info on a more regular basis once I get a better handle on this new media. But ... once I do, this Wahzoo guarantees ya that we'll all have some fun with it. Baja 500 -Seeley had mixed result; at this fourth SCORE race. Although he won the desert portion, he lost the Tech battle. In this, and the previous SCORE Primm 300, our hero had dusted the Class 5 competiton out on the course. But, after pocketing $500 when he won a wheelbase protest at the previous race, he was DQed out of his second straight racin' victory when he lost an identical wheelbase argument in Mexico?? After our boy won Class 5 by a minute and a half at this race, his car's wheelbase was measured in Tech at over 106 inches and out he went! ( 105n is the limit and he was 104n at the previous race) Now I know for certain that George didn't take his car home from the Primm race and lengthen it, so what happened? Did somebody over at SCORE, i.e. Sal, Danny, or Savage, bend over after that whining/threatening letter to them from the non-Checker who first protested George appeared in the Dusty Times. Or, what was it? I mean, something stinks here. This was the same car, same driver. .. just more whiners. You guys can be assured that next month's column, along with my regular race report, will include an additional report on who's screwin' who with regard to Seeley and his magically growin' car.

ROUND 1 AUSTRALIAN OFF ROAD CHAMPIONSHIP. PORT PIRIE SA. Ian Tscharke Sweeps The Flinders 400 By Darryl Smith Ian Tscharke certainly shocked the crowd and the other competitors. Not only is he a newcomer to the Off Road Championship, but it was a 1600 car that he drove to a convincing victory, first overall and first in Class 2. The 1996 Off Road Champion-ship kkked into life with the running of the Central Television, Flinders 400. It was the maiden event for the organizers at Port Pirie, and competitors therefore wondered what they would be in for. What they got surpassed their wildest expectations, Not only was the track one of the roughest ever, and the dust purely choking· but the end result was a crowd stopper too. The winner of the race was Ian Tscharke, a name never heard of at a Championship race before, and as if that wasn't enough he drove a smaller 1600cc buggy to beat the fancied runners. Starting the class summaries with the open cars in Class 1, saw as expected so often Brett Osbourne first in qualifying and heading the entire 63 car field. Having a dust-free run for about one and a half laps helped him extend a good lead. Not so lucky were Firestone teammates Terry Rose and Barry Johnson who were both out early with motor and turbo troubles. Likewise Glenn Owen had remained in his second place when suffering from illness got too much. Brian Robinson from WA was gone soon too with gearbox failure while the same fate hit David fellows from the NT. Les Brown's much awaited debut of the new Subaru powered buggy only lasted one lap when a front hub let go. Brad Zacka was the big mover coming through the pack to be second in class in the ex-Wilson USA car, but they lost some time when they stopped to help event organizer, Hayden Bentley who had a nasty rollover. Meanwhile Osbourne stunned his critics by retaining the lead at the half way pit. However the very next lap he stopped with a broken c.v. This handed the class lead to Zacka but then he struck trouble in the form of a broken gearbox.

Gene Griepentrog and Kent Lothringer had no trouble at all, stopped for gas and nothing more and had a good time in their fairly new Class 10 car. Robbie Goerke lost a wheel coming down a hill, and later had another flat but no other trouble, and he was fourth in Class 10 B.J. Almberg rolled his new car in the hills but he recovered from the roll to come back strong and place second in Class 1-2-1600 at the checkers. If it's May we must be in Caliente, to paraphrase a saying. But it is true that those that have raced in Caliente can think of nothing else as winter turns to spring in the Nevada mountains. The tiny town is nestled on a plateau about 150 miles north and east of Las Vegas in Lincoln County, and as always the Union Pacific railroad runs right through the middle of the town, in fact it runs along the main street, the • main route from Salt Lake City to ..... .... en CD IQ Page 30 at the finish line. · the southwestern ports. Just behind the row houses put up by the railroad years ago are the main pits and the start/finish line, not even a block from the railroad tracks. It is all very cozy, and the arrangement is that they stop the race when a train is coming. The competitors must cross the tracks after clearing the scoring bus each lap but they are timed in and timed out again when the train passes. There is a space on the results for train delay with the SNORE/DUSTY TIMES CALIENTE l50 Danny Anderson Wins Overall in a Class 1 O By Jean Calvin Photos: Carrera Photography Danny Anderson plus Rob MacCachren led the whole race, stopped only for gas and driver changes, and their only lap not under the hour was the last one.

July 1996 trails downright breathtaking. The drivers meeting and the drawing for starting numbers started at 9 :00 a .m . Saturday morning and then it was time to line up for the 10:00 a.m. start. The pair of Class 1 vehicles left first, one a truck, the other a buggy followed in 30 second intervals by Class 10, nine strong and 1-2-1600, 12 strong. These three classes were required to cover six laps for a finish. Then Class 9 wth 18 starters took off for their five laps followed by 5-1600, Sportsman Buggy, Heavy Metal, Mini Metal, Sportsman truck and the lone Class 11 . We counted 51 cars off the line, which is pretty good since La Rana was running at Barstow the very same day. It took the unlimited truck of Mike Tieman about 45 mintues to cover the course, and it was nice to have the finish area hill back on the course. It was high and steep and ended up with a few blocks of running on pavement in the town, but all minded the rules and it was a safe and sound trip all day. Almost on Tieman's bumper was Danny Anderson who had made up five minutes and led on time going into the second lap. Almost on his bumper was Jim Greenway in the Kevin McGillivray Class 10, followed in seconds by Dusty Times

Malcolm Bryce took third in Class 1-2-1600 turning consistent lap times and slowing a tad on the last two rounds, but he came in a strong third in class. Mike Boyd had the shifter fail on his 1-2-1600, costing some 20 minutes to fix, but he soldiered on to finish fourth in a time of 6:05:21. Brian Sallee chased Class 9 winner Ingram all day, always less than a minute off pace. Brian finished second in class by about six minutes. Robbie Goerke. This was going to be a real horse race! Up in the high country some cars were sporting souvenir twigs and branches but most were running well, and most were still running. At this point we are going to reytew each class by itself and hope we don't forget anyone. Mike Tieman got his second lap done, a good 5 2 .1 7, but was not seen again. Gary Wise in the Class 1 buggy didn't do much better. After three good lap times he vanished from the charts so he retired somewhere out on the race course with the class win and probably didn't know it. In Class 10 Danny Anderson turned two 4 7 s and a 48 for the lead overall midway, when he stopped to hand over to his super co-driver Rob MacCachren; at this point they had up to a five minute lead. Gene Griepentrog and Robbie Goerke were turning similar times, a few minutes back and Pat Dean and Clay Flippen Bekki Freeman stalled out in a water crossing, maybe this one, as Jason Gubler is close behind here. Bekki finished fifth in Class 1-2-1600 with Adam Wik driving the last laps after the power steering failed. Kevin Streety had one challenger in Class 5-1600 who failed to finish. Kevin did four of his five laps with consistent times, took an extra 10 minutes on his last lap and won the 5-1600 honors in Caliente. Defending points champion Doug Ingram returned to his winning ways in Class 9 although he got a strong challenge from Barstow racer Brian Sallee. Doug's five laps were less than a minute apart, and he won by about 7 minutes. Dusty Times were both in the ballpark. Kevin McGillivray took over in his car from Jim Greenway hanging on to second. After five laps seven Class 10s were still running. Casey Jones only made one lap and Ken Flippen Jr. did five good laps but never finished lap 6. Danny Anderson was the first one across the finish line, having taken over from MacCachren after lap 5 and he whipped off a 50.11 for his last lap, and made one stop for the driver change and gas. Kevin McGillivray popped up next, doing a 49.10 final lap and he said their trouble was when the tack needle shorted out on Greenway. He pitted, got fixed and they had no more troubles on course not even a flat. It had been a fierce battle with Anderson's total time r,r I extured surface. Available in custom colors.

Jeff Carr had a mystery engine problem while leading Class 9. The engine quit for no apparent reason. In about 15 minutes he got restarted, but the race was lost and he finished third. Earl West took fourth in Class 9 action and actually had a chance to challenge the leaders, but he didn't get it done and finished fourth.

Robbie Goerke lost a front tire coming down the hill and later on had another flat, but no other trouble, fourth at 5: 14:04 including a train delay.

The dozen l-2-1600s hit the track next and Kenny Freeman Jr. turned a pair of 51 s for his first two laps to lead the pack, but just by seconds over B.J. Alm berg who also had a pair of 51 s.

She stalled it in a water hole, had power steering woes but was happy to have finally finished Caliente in 6:05:54. Just barely ahead of Bekki was Mike Boyd whose shifter failed and cost some 20 minutes; his time was 6:05:21 with over two minutes train delay but he was fourth. In third was Malcolm Bryce with consistent lap times and we didn't catch him . for a war story. B.J. Almberg, who was leading at the time, · rolled his new car on the fifth lap. It wasn't hurt bad so he went on and finished second at 5:30:46. The Class 1-2-1600 winner was 'surprise' Jeremy Gubler whose , first five laps were less than a minute apart. He had no troubles and had fun. He and B.J. had lap times for the last lap 21 seconds apart. Jeremy's winning time -5:14:05. Of the 18 Class 9 cars seven of them finished their four laps in the time allowance. Four did one lap, two more did no laps, another got in two laps as did one who was disqualified. Most of these had long lap times anyhow and they didn't seem to be quite race ready. The early battle for the lead was between Joel Mohr, Brian Sallee and Doug Ingram but Ingram seemed to have the edge on time. Mohr had a two and a half hour fourth lap which put him down to last finisher in seventh place at 6:54:18. Tracy Kline was running sixth and Kevin Steele was fifth while Earl West had a chance to · challenge the leaders. Midway Jeff Carr had reeled off three 54 · minute laps to lead Class 9 ahead of Doug Ingram and Brian Sallee. Then he had a mystery engine problem; the car would run fine, · then just quit; he thanked Dick and Eddie Webb for their help · and Abocco. His time was 4:46:4 7. Just getting into second place was Brian Sallee with 4:46: 15. He had no trouble at all. . Doug Ingram finished in 4:39:27 including a train delay of 17 seconds, and he went right to his pit to cool off. His times were all , 55s and 56s for a total of4:39:27. ' One 5-1600 car didn't cover a July 1996 lap, but the other driven by Kevin Streety covered all five in 5:38:40 to win the class honors. There was one Class 11 and Ed McCormick got around two laps for his trophy. In Sportsman truck Mike Snodgrass didn't cover a lap but James Romero did a 1 :56:09 and retired. Rick Harrah made one lap in Mini Metal, Joe Ferrara did five laps for the win at 4:59:46. Jerry Stewart did four laps in the Oldsmobile for second in Heavy Metal behind Ferrara. In Sports-man Bug£y one covered only one lap,Jason Gubler got in three laps, and Dennis W esseldine covered all five, finishing second in the class in his Class 9 car. John McCormick did his five laps faster and he won the class in 4:31:03. The awards presentation was Saturday evening in a large hall, but it was still congested but fun. ,Everybody had a good time except maybe the officials who had an early call to start cleaning up the course before they split for Las Vegas. John McCormick was first in Sportsman Buggy class in which two of the four finished. John had Pro style lap times and did five laps in 4:31 :03. Dennis Wesseldine took second in Class Sportsman Buggy with his former Class 9 racer, and it was the first race he had ever finished also. · Joe Ferrara was one of two in Heavy Metal class and he finished all five required laps with good times and finished first in 4:59:46.

Race Managers were, Charlie Lamar and Pete Dutton, they also drove the FAIR VAN.John Lucas, Ron Osburn, Matt McMillan #247 Class 2, finished 3rd in class and 11th 0 / A. Ron and Matt started, ran 4 laps, Lap 1 no problems and on lap 2 engine stalled and blew a tranny seal. After some minor repairs they decided to go for it anyway. Owner John Lucas got in for the last two, cruised and finished. Hal Hibbard Class 2, finally finished a race. I think they have just about the same luck the Morgan Mobile has. Hal finished 4th in class even though I was told they worked on it all day. Hey Hal what's this about losing a battery, I don't mean going dead, I mean they lost the battery. I hope you guys aren't littering the desert with hazardous waste! George Perrett #7??. George is a new FAIR member and I didn't hear from him with details. I don't know if he finished in his Toyota truck. I heard they had problems all day. Kathy and Stacy Fay #777 WHAT CAN I SA y I FIRST AGAIN. Kathy and Stacy ran 3 laps, finished with a flat tire and a broken I Beam. I think these two gals shouls go to SCORE racing. Mike O Danell #1012. Sorry Mike I didn't receive any results. Randy Mottram and Bob Suchy #1610. I was told Randy and Bob's day was over before it began. Friday evening they discovered a broken alternator stand and couldn't find one. They did not show for the green flag. Jeff Madrid and Gary Bancroft #1603, finished 2nd in class and 7th 0 / A. The CLEARWOOD RACE TEAM was there in full force.Joy, Sally, Keith and Randy taking care of the Main pit, Robbie, Brian and Matt out chasing. Gary started, setting his own pace, he let a few cars by and went on to have a few problems. Power steering problems and a flat tire slowed him down and a rather hard hit from McKinney, something like an E ticket ride. Jeff got in for the last three laps, having no problems except a c.v. boot. Each lap he would stop at FAIR Main for alittle wrapping of the boot and they made it. Gary wanted to thank FAIR for all the help and to the WISDOM race team for their help. Thanks Gary for the race comments, sure helps. Gary also wanted to thank all their sponsors; Clearwood Mfg., . GFAB Motorsports, Vans, KAR TEC and IN HOUSE Skate • Group Off-1/oad £vents • Specialized HUMMER'" Driving Skills 1360 Kle~ lone, Sparks, NV 89431 • Ph. 702/331-5032 fox 702/331-5107 Boards. Wes, Scott and Brady Wisdom #1601 finished 3rd in class. Wes started with Chris Gagna riding, somewhere around pit C on lap 2 Wes made a wrong turn and lost 5 minutes. Then a rear adjuster broke by pit B, where the Drake crew was. Lucky for the Wis-doms. The Drake crew had a spare adjuster and even did the repairs for them, that's the FAIR WAY. At the driver change, Brady and Matt Cullen took over running, a clean race, finishing third and maintaining their points lead in Class 1-2-1600. PS, they were able to keep the rubber side on the ground and no smiles in the rims. I think this family affair is coming together. Special thanks to their sponsors: Dion & Sons/ Shell for fuel and lubricants, Electrobond for powdercoating, FAIR for the professional pit support and the Wisdom wives, (Gail, Alisha and Susane) for their patience and support. Also thanks to Jim Minor for the BEST RIBS IN THE DESERT. Greg Powell and Randy Cole-man #1607 DNF.I guess these two Motorcycle racers showed the class the way to go. Randy set fast lap all three of his laps: 63 min. 21 sec / 61 min. 50 sec. I 63 min. 01 sec., not bad for little time spent in the seat of their single seat MIRAGE. Randy said it was AWESOME, we are ready for SCORE. Greg got in with a 3 min. driver change and a 9 minute lead. When the car broke, it was 19 minutes later 2nd place went by. As quoted by Greg Powell, "WE FELT LIKE THE MAR TIN BROS., WE WERE WINNING UNTIL WE BROKE". Good luck guys, you will need it at the SCORE races. Robert Wilkes and Mike Haddock #1405, 2nd in class. Mike Haddock and Glen Robles took the honors and started the first two laps. After the first lap, a minor adjustment on the rear torsion bars and on the second lap the silt bed got the best of them. The car quit due to the air cleaner being loaded with dust. Managed to correct the problem and made it back to the Main for an air filter and driver change. Robert Wilkes and Craig Robles took over with no problems until the last lap, they broke a front spindle and lost the tire. Charlie Lamar came to the rescue with borrowed parts from several teams. A front spindle from car #911 team, a set of wheel bearings from Clear-wood Racing #909, a BIG THANKS to all who helped, that's what FAIR is all about. Thirty minutes later they were off and managed to nurse the car around to finish. Thanks to Rich Fersch for the suspension, it worked great. Thanks to WR Racing for the new transmission, Dusty nma July 1996 Coming Next Month ••• SCORE Baja 500 SODA Memorial Day 100 SCCA Susquehannock Trail Pro Rally WRC Acropolis Rally ... Plus all the regular features it also went without problems. JimNorgard#1401 lstinclass. All I heard was Jim knows how to race this bracket class. He goes like hell and stops before the check point, has a cigarette and then goes through. Jack Zand-bergen #576 4th in class, no problems, just cruised the whole day. Jim Cochran #550 3rd in class. Jim Cochran and Billy Snyder ran 4 laps,Jim said it was the roughest course he has ever experienced. Right off the start they we~e blowing oil, come to find out it was a little over full. Second lap, picked up a nail and had a rear flat. On lap 4 Mitch Griffin got in and Jim rode with him for 1 lap and Billy Snyder rode on lap 5. Jim got back in for the final lap with Billy. Problems all day with the front torsion, lap 3 they broke the adjuster, welded it but it broke again. Made an executive decision to run on no suspension the rest of the race.Jim did say the silt choked the air cleaner; all in all he said they had a fun day. Garth Hutchinson and Mike Rebolledo #555 Garth and Dean Martin started looking for the gold ($1000.00) extra dollars in prize money. Before lap 1 was complete, they were running first, setting fast lap for the class. Second and third lap, they kept up the pace with no problems. At the driver change, the trusty pit crew saw a broken trans mount, thanks to Jeff Randall for welding it. Mike and Curt took over, first in class and lost a plug wire. Second and third passed them, then a flat tire in the silt bed put them farther back. On lap 5 they were hit pretty hard in the rear by #800 the Bragg Bros. It was the end of the day, breaking both tranny mounts and a broken nose cone. Per Garth it doesn't make sense, a Class 8 truck hitting an 80 hp Baja Bug. Lighten up you guys in the faster classes! Bob & Mike Wright and Russ Garanth #569 5th in class. Bob drove the entire race with brother Mike and Russ riding. Bob is leading the class in points and went into this race with the idea of setting his own pace. He was passed right away by Garth and Danny Drake doing battle. On lap 3 they broke a stub axle, after extensive repairs in the dirt, they went 20 miles and had more problems with the axle. They tore it apart again in the dirt, nothing fit right. With a lot of patience and TLC, they patched it together. Bob knew he had to finish for the points and they did. Strange how you can run 150 miles on a patched together car. That's determination! Danny Drake and Rich Fersch #551 2nd in class. No details received other than truck #841 hit them pretty hard. A lot of damage to the rear cage and rear suspension. After FAIR main welded and did repairs, they were able to continue, finishing in second. Jay Fogg and Jim Milinowski #909 2nd in class. No details received from the team, but I did hear they went through 3 brake drums and at the finish a fourth was broken. Hey Jay, where do you buy your drums? I also understand Jay needs to talk to Doctor Bob about his radio. Hey La RANA, WHAT ARE WE DOING ABOUT THIS SO CALLED NERFING?????? Remember race teams, you need to fax me your race reports after every race to help with this column. (714) 634-4438. Thanks. Thanks to Gary Bancroft, Scott Wisdom and Robert Wilkes for sending me your information. FAIR is looking for a few members to be dedicated drivers for the van. Anyone interested in driving, please talk to Bob Steinberger. You must be a paid FAIR member to drive the van. The Baja 500 is next, Harry Dunne is the RACE MANAGER, with 10 to 15 cars going down to the race. I sure hope SCORE has more control on the local people and is able to stop the sabotage of the race course.

401H TOUR DE CORSE Philippe Bu9alski Wins in a Renault Philippe Bugalski and Jean-Paul Chiaroni won the Tour de Corse by over two minutes. It was the first win for the team in Corsica, the first overall win for a kit car in world competition and they won in a Formula 2 Renault Maxi Megane. Philippe Bugalski became the first stage and had other troubles with 128 points ahead of Peugeot first driver to win a world during the event. The Maxi with 109, previous leaders SEAT championship rally in a 'Formula Megane, using 18 inch diameter with 98, Opel with 85 and Skoda 2' car, when his Renault Maxi tires, was more sure-footed in the 83. Megane won the WZL only all-constantly changing conditions This was the 40th time the asphalt Tour de Corse. He led than its rival Peugeot 306 Maxi world's definitive asphalt rally from the first morning after the with 17 inch wheels. Peugeot, had been held. The world's top Monte Carlo winner Patrick however, headed by Gilles Panizzi, rally drivers were not here to Bernardini, whose Ford Escort finished strongly with three cars enjoy the occasion as the fixture Cosworth was easily the fastest in the top six. Renault have taken coincided with France's round of car on the event, had a flat on the a clear lead in the 'WZL' series the world rally championship, ~ taking its turn to qualify only for the 2-liter series. Along with Renault and Peugeot SEAT entered its Ibiza but Skoda stayed home to test their new model Felicia 1.6, saying that they wouldn't do well on the asphalt and the hills with small cubic capacity. Peugeot entered two cars for Gilles Panizzi and Francois Chatroit but when Francois Delecour became available they produced a third entry for him. Another major change for this event was that the 'Formula 2' kit cars had tires, with compulsory moulded tread design rather than slicks, purpose designed for them for the first time. Michelin seemed the most ready with supply, Philippe Bugalski was hopeful that the moulded tires would be nicer to drive, "espec-ially because the roads are often narrow with parapets sticking into the road which means you must always be very precise." The format of the rally was radically changed. FIA's rules regarding Service Parks were incompatible with the traditional style of touring the full island of Corsica, with rest halts each evening at different towns. This year the city of Ajaccio saw the cars every night. The 40th birthday for the event was not the only anniversary; it was also ten years since the fatal accident to Henri Toivonen and Sergio Cresto, the occasion which did more to change the course of rally sport than any other. After years of apparent indifference to safety issues, the organizers these days take this matter extremely ·At seriously. As the hours to the star·t drew close, so the rain started to fall again, conjuring up bad omens for the two-wheel drive cars. Tire choices were at the center of everone's minds as this was the first major international test for the moulded tires. How would they work when drivers were forced to drive a series of stages on the same tires in very variable conditions? On Etape 1 the one thing destined to make the rally interesting for the outsider happened on the first stage -misfortune for Bernardini! He stopped to change a flat tire and lost some three minutes and maybe more trying to get his concentration back "This was my 13th Tour de Corse, so I suppose something had to happen, but I am glad we are still going." Immediately Bugalski took the lead with his kit car Renault, while Bernardini recovered from 44th after the first stage to fifth by the end of the day. Bugalski was in a class of his own in the 'WZL' category. Unbeaten all day and sharing only the long final stage, his only problem was a faulty fuel pump on stage 2. He tried to swap the front tires with the rears before stage 4 only to have a wheel nut stick and he had to abandon the plan. His teammate Rognotti started badly with a broken power steering pipe which caused smoke to come out of his car on corners and the loss of about four minutes. The three Peugeot Maxis were all in the top six at the end of the day although Chatriot was slowed when his roof scoops broke away ~-;;;.._ ,.· ~ .. '$-.'• Second overall went to the Formula 2 Peugeot 306 Maxi of Gilles and Herve Panizzi: they took the Patrick Bernardini and Catherini Francois led the rally until mechanical trouble struck, but they position late in the rally, day 3 on the last stages. kept moving to place fifth overall in a Ford Escort Cosworth. Marco Massarotto and Yves Bouzat drove the Subaru lmpreza hard to third overall, first in Group A, but he couldn't catch the leading Formula 2 cars. The Ladies winner, 18th overall, was Priscille de Belloy with Laetitia Jourdan driving a Formula 2 Peugeot 106 Kit Car that looks like a station wagon model. Page 34 July 1996 Dusty Times

&t Winner Philippe Bugalski, left, with Renault Rally Manager Patrick Landon, should be happy as the Andrea Navarra and Renzo Casazza came from Italy to drive the Subaru lmpreza to seventh overall crews pack up the service vehicles for the next one. in the Group A category. and he suffered from petrol fumes on stage 3. Delecour had fuel pump problems on stage 5, made a bad tire choice on stage 7 and as soon as he got the car to service he asked for a gearbox with closer ratios. Surprise was Oriol Gomez going fast on his first Tour de Corse. He fell from sixth to seventh when he went off the road for a time on the final stage. At the end of the day the top nine were 'F2' cars than one normal 'F2' kit car. Even though the rally lacked a lot of the fun having to return each night to Ajaccio, the little curiosities of the event remained: Immediately the rally started at one minute intervals, the top drivers were then dispatched on the first special stage at two minute intervals. The third stage was delayed to move some horses; mechanics rushed into a control area at the entrance to a service part to start dismantling their cars. All very special, all very French. This was the day on Etape 2 the tortoise pulled out a lead over the hare. With six fastest times out of the seven stages one might have expected Bernardini to have substantially closed the gap on Bugalski, but he finished the day still two minutes 12 seconds behind. The fastest driver on the day had two problems. Firstly he lost time when he hit a cow, and then he damaged the rear suspension when he slid wide on a corner and the engine stopped because a fuse was dislodged. The first stage of the day, 48 km, was the longest of the event and it cost the rally two top drivers. Firstly the engine of Puras' SEAT suddenly stoped for no visible reason, then fellow Spaniard Gomez was momentar------'------"--'-------------------------ily distracted by a helicopter, slid wide and damaged the sump and the engine. He struggled to the end of the stage, then the engine failed. Bernardii was fastest on the stage by 28 seconds rising from fifth to fourth and up to third on the next stage before troubles slowed him, while Bugalski by his own admission eased off too much but still held the lead. between stages. themselves. Spectators noted a van from Renault in the area. Renault's other driver Ragnotti went off the road, broke the steering fluid reservoir and aggravated the drivers' rib damage forcing him to drive stage 16 in only second and third gears. Bernardini 's charge was, however, over. He had serious clutch trouble and was only able to check into the service area at Propriano by sending his co-driver on foot to check in. Later he had another flat and stopped to change it again. Thus Bugalski was able to finish the rally and enter the history books, on the 40th Tour de Corse. The Peugeots did not win and felt they had come prematurely, limited by wheel sizes to the end of the career potential of the 306 Maxi. Delecour continued his unhappy ways with a recurrence of power steering trouble. Panizzi ensured that they got a podium finish, jumping from fourth to second place two stages before the end. SEAT discovered the hard way that there was still a lot of work to do with the Ibiza, while Renault were relieved that they had won 'F2' despite everything. It was quite a different Tour de Corse. Now came a familiar Corsican problem, the changeable weather. At the regrouping halt at Sagone on the west coast the weather had been idyllic, but between the next two stages in the mountains, which the teams had to tackle on It rained a lot in the night and the chances were that this had been in answer to Bernardini's prayers. Things went well for him on the first two stages of Etape 3. He chose dry weather tires, which turned out to be the best choice despite a lot of moisture on the roads under the trees. He took 31 seconds off Bugalski on the first stage and 26 on the second. Bugalski meanwhile had troubles and was going carefully. A driveshaft pulled out on a road section before the first stage and the official story was that the crew managed to force it back bv the same tires, it began to rain. Bugalski running first car on the -road got through the stage before -the rain fell, but Chatriot damaged his rear suspension but . -kept his second place until the -final stage when he spun back-wards off the road, lost a minute 11111 and dropped to fourth, a second -behind his teammate Panizzi.

They kept out of winnings home to Ely, Nevada. harms way and turned each lap under an hour, except for the last one. Dave Morse ran 'hard all day chasing Brett North but was unable to head him off at the pass. Dave took second in Challenger, only three minutes out of first. Scott and Chris Smith gave it their all but came up 56 seconds short in Class 5-1600. A heartbreaker for sure, but that's racin' . . that they liked it, (probably because they won the drag) and several racers didn't say anything (probably because they lost the drag). Class 10 took a hit and was only to start two cars. Jim Price, from Denver, and Mike Baker who moved into the class with a Class . 5 Baja he borrowed ... from Jim Price. The drag was fun, with Mike edging Jim out at the turn, but shifter woes soon relegated Mike to the trailer. An interesting turn of events livened up the class when Johnnie Patterson and Quentin Gonzales challenged the bigger cars. Johnnie and Quentin are both from the Glenwood Springs, Colorado area, an area where some of the cars are very small, teeny, stunted, just never grew, awfully quick but very tiny. Johnnie is so determined to.get a Desert Lite class going that he even conned Christine to enter spot them a-few seconds a lap ... actually 11 minutes a lap. Not wanting to walk away from a challenge, the four of them agreed to a four lap race for all the marbles. Jim and Mike planned to go the full six laps with Jim driving the challenge and Mike the last two laps, but the challenge would . be scored at four laps. The results of the challenge pr-ovided plenty of excitement as the corrected times showed Jim the winner at 3:39:22, Quentin second at 3:43:56, and Johnnie third at 4:01:01. The challengers should have gone for 12 minutes a lap instead of 11 per lap! The 1-2-1600 class was destined for some close racing all day with less then 11 minutes separating first and fourth places. Several of those first four had a troubled lap costing them time. Mark and Dave Howe lost a couple of hours on the firt lap and then couldn't finish in time. The Brennan car lost an engine due to an overagressive nerf which knocked a valve cover off dumping all the oil. With those two cars out it left the race to Rick Taylor, Todd Bingham, George Kautz and Dave Blakely. Rick was working hard to catch George ... a bit too hard perhaps. A quick rollover cost him several minutes that might have been the difference. The finish for the class had George Kautz at 4:48:51 and winning, Rick Taylor second at 4:53:39, Dave Blakely third at 4 :54:45, and Todd Bingham fourth at 4:59:42. W e had 75% finish in 5-1600 with only Greg Wylie pulling another disappearing act on the first lap. The other three ran nearly flawless races with only Shad and Jason having one slow lap. The finish reflected that with Jeff Robinson/ Craig Holt finish-ing and less than a minute ahead of Scott Smith/Chris Smith. The times were 4:11:25 for Jeff and Craig, 4: 12:21 for Scott and Chris, 4:30:17 for Jason and Shad. This class almost always runs very, very competitively and today was no exception. Then came thunder ... well we , call them pr· her personal, red and beautiful, shiny car so they would have three to make the class. She must really love him! Anyway as I was saying, they challenged the bigger cars to Barney Fife did not have a good day. He finished second in Mini Metal after spending some time dn his roof. DustyTimcs July 1996 Mike Baker tried a closed car for this race but had no luck. An over two hour la was the kiss of death and they retired the car. lft-811a// Racing at 1h11 PAS Race at America's newest track in Perris, California!

Jeff Robinson and Craig Holt hauled their neat 5-1600 in for the win in class. Their quick lap times were enough to win the class by less than a minute. Quentin Gonzales in his Desert Lite car gets nicely airborne on the way to winning the class with some pretty fancy lap times. r,r the Heavy Metal class, big, noisy ... but exciting to watch. We had hoped for six or eight but the clock ran out on several of them and so we started four. Jeff Neagle/Garth Hanson in the Jeep, Mark and Kerry Stephenson in the Bronco, Kenny Wartluff/ Eric John representing Mopar, with Fred and Mike Nutsch in the Ranch Jeep. Once again we. finished 75% of the class with only Fred and Mike falling out after three laps. The three running were very close all day with Jeff setting the fast lap at 48: 10. The final shakeout had Jeff and Garth first, in at 4: 15:20, Mark and Kerry second at 4:38:59, with Kenny and Eric in third at 4:45:45 ... for their first ever finish. Jake and Sharon Maness took their_ new Sportsman car for a spin but decided to call it quits after thr~e laps. When the Challengers started, . they were looking at some different cars, some cars with different "Looks" this season, and some very familiar ones out of the past. While the start looked real good it didn't take too long before Glenn Cain was all upside down and out. Pat Ellis and Simon McPeak made three laps in their "New" ride, which was also their virgin .race ... and then they were out. Four cars were left running, all in the 53 minute to an hour laps. When the dust settled we saw Brett North winning by a scant three minutes over Dave Morse. The times were 4:24:25 for Brett, 4:27:46 for Dave, and Scott Butcher came in third with a 4:45:06 and Dean Blakely fourth at4:56:36. Next race there will be more of these guys fighting it out ... guaranteed. Next we started the Mini Metal class, with two new looks and one old favorite. We can always count on Cam Peacock and today we saw Scott Noall in a Ford Ranger in place of the buggy, and then Barney Fife in another Ford BIGGER IS BETTER , Ranger became a racer instead of a course worker. You could say he wanted to see more of the race course, and he and his crew worked late into the evening and deep into the motor to be ready to start ... they were.

Scott had little problem except on the last lap when he slowed to a 1: 13, but it brought him closer on times. Scott still won with a 4:54:29, and Barney only finished four of the five laps. I understand Joe Kellogg was still looking for answers to a nagging fuel problem. We missed him and Kay. -It seems we have swings in every class, going from few to many entries, from one season to the next. Last year the Sportsman class was often the largest ... today we only started two. Jake Manus brought an open wheel car for he and Sharon, spent many hours in preparation and? Chris Price figured his Ford Courier was ready for the battle, so the two of them set out for the distance. A I fuel pump failure a mile or so into · the race put a damper on Chris, and left Jake and Sharon time to see how we build a race course. July 1996 Johnny Patterson brought Gonzales to the race and then couldn't catch him. Johnny finished about eighteen minutes in arrears for second place in Desert Lites. Jackpot will see more Sportsman cars I'm assured. That is the story from the Spring meeting of the clan known as B.O.R.E. When you read this tale we will have spun a new yarn about a wee town of Jackpot, a July 4th weekend. Ah but that will be told another time B.O.R.E is happy to welcome some new race supporters for 1996. The Goodrich Team TA has come on board ... thanks to Jeff Cummings at T earn TA.

Even more importantly, however, the lribe team possesses the true" Spirit Of Baja". Last but definitely not least. How the heck is the big YAHOO going to explain to his bookie that the "Aging Veteran, Ed Mclean" (#944) beat the checkerprognosticaators' LCX)()NG odds and took home cash money, a trophy, and a big grin in the process! Congratulations, Ed, on your well deserved podium finish.

Best of Laughlin. By Phillip Breedlove Congratulations ,to MAG-7 Racers and pit crews for a 100% podium finish. This 500 was one of the longest in memory with a high attrition rate which makes the feat even more sweet. Michio Ori mo ( #401 ) bested Class 40 on a Honda, while fellow Japanese rider Koji Kato (#301) placed second in Class 30 on another Honda. Tom Stevens, a MAG-7 brother from Sacramento ( #451) took the first place honors in Class 40 Sportsman. Carlos and Gerardo Iribe (#561) who won the 1995 Comemorative Bruce Cranmore MAG-7 "Spirit of Baja" Award as well as 1st place in 5-1600 at last year's Baja 1000, received emergency pit service and are to be congratulated on a 'hard fought 3rd place finish. With two firsts, a second and a Thanks to Val voline ( Bill Enderle and Jim Arbuckle) for Baja 500 product support and to all who supported the MAG-7 contingency booth. Upcoming MAG-7 events include the board meeting 7110 (at Wickershams), pit pickup for the FUDPUCKER Conquista 200 7 / 13, and MAG-7 will pit the race on 7120. MAG-7 will also provide pit service and contingency awards to MAG-7 racers for the LAUGH-LIN Desert Challenge October 4-6 (note the date change), and the Baja 1000 November 8-10. CHECKERS ... (continued) George, at the rate it's growing, by the 1000, that car of yours could be out to 'bout 120 inches if ya don't watch it. AND FINALLY, let me end this column with a tribute to our "Checker Women". (you're a Checker woman if you're married to one, goin' with one, or more than two of us have seen ya nude.) This W ahzoo wants to thank all of ya, on behalf of all of us, for graciously and repeatedly making that big relationship choice with your Checker. That being, one of comin' along and gettin' along, or else havin' courage enough to say "no, no dear, that's OK, you go on and have fun with the guys". Whatever your decisions, we all appreciate how quickly our Checker Women have learned to accept the reality that there are only two choices. ANYONE WHO'S ANYONE READS ..
