Jimmie Crowder, heavily involved in a fender to fender duel, somehow ended up on the wrong side of the banners and promptly engaged a small tree. Scoring: Tree 1 , Crowder 0. The tree took a heavy hit and so did Jimmie's Ford at Lake Geneva Raceway this past July. DUSTY TIMES will feature pictures of similar "funnies"or woes on this page each month.

Robby painted the Valvoline Ford special for the holiday race and took an unprecedented fourth win in the Trophy-Truck series for the season. There are still two races left in the series and; who knows? Congrats on a job well done. Bob Gordon and Frank Arciero finally got it all together to take the first place in class and first overall at the venerable SCORE Fireworks 250 race in Barstow last July. The Toyota powered buggy was about a half hour ahead of the second place finisher. Did Frank supply the wine? It's really something to see father and son . win in different venues on the same day.

Box 8105 r,r September 1996 Trail Notes THE KC HiLITES SNORE MID-NIGHT SPECIAL was run on the Nellis Dunes, right outside of Las Vegas, on the third of August in the overwhelming heat of summer. Fifty seven cars took the green flag in nine classes, starting at nine o'clock in the evening and the racing was FAST and furious in some classes. There was a non-injury accident right off the start, blocking the course with still about five cars yet to start. By the time the mangled pickup truck was removed from the course, some of the leaders were already arriving back at the start line to begin lap two. They were red flagged, a race delay time was put into effect and finally, quite a while later, all cars were back running, including the ones whose start was delayed. Robbie Goerke won Class 10 by about twenty minutes, Amanda Dixon won out over seventeen other competitors to take home Class 9 honors, Mike Bean won 5-1600, John McCormick edged out the win in Sportsman Buggy, Joe Ferrera won Heavy Metal handily, Barry Slatter took Mini Metal with son Scott riding shotgun, and in Class 1-2-1600, it was the ever charging Robby Guevera taking the class by thirty two seconds over B.J. Almberg. The temperature moderated late in the evening and most we chatted with had a good time, win, lose or draw. A complete race' report will be in the October issue of Dusty Times. LETIER#l OF THE SILVER STATE SERIES arrived the other day with lots of news from Casey Folks and his Best In The Desert Series. After the success of last years Vegas To Reno Race, Casey has decided to continue on and promote races in the Silver State that include four wheel vehicles as well as the two wheel motorcycles that he has been promoting for so long. The three races scheduled are: the "Tonopah 300" -March 28, 29, 30, 199'7. The race will start and finish in T onopah, runs approx-imately 300 miles. The second race is the "Silver State 33" -June 20, 21, 22, 1997. This race is also a 300 miler but isa point-to-point race, starting in Mesquite, (about75 miles from Vegas), and ends in Ely, Nevada, about 285 miles from Las Vegas. Race #3 is the " Vegas To Reno" on September 18, 19, 20, 1997. Over 500 miles, one way, starting in Las Vegas and finishing in or near Reno, Nevada. If you are not on Casey's mailing list we suggest you give Casey a call at (702) 457-5775 and find out for yourself what they have to offer. KC HiLITES COUNTRY HAPPENING, in conjunction with Desert Steel Motorsports is putting on their first car show in California. The show and all the attendant functions will take place at the " Bates Nut Farm" , in Valley Center, CA. The location is near Escondido, with lots of grass and trees and all sorts of things to do for you and the kids.

Call the show hotline at (520) 855-6125 to get in on a fun weekend, September 14th. TOYS FOR TOTS is coming and your support is needed.

Call ( 619) 252-1197 (Slash X Cafe) or (619) 252-3093 (Mal/Connie Wessel) for more information. THE MAINE FOREST RALLY in Rumford Maine saw Paul Choiniere bring his Hyundai Elantra to the finish with a one minute, twenty two second lead over Carl Merrill. This was Choiniere's fourth win of the season and even though there were major problems with the car and lots of repairs he came home a winner. Choiniere has a sixteen point lead over Merrill, and is looking for yet another Mational title to add to the five he has already won in the last six years. LATE FLASH!!! Two Southern California guys made out quite well at the Luxemburg, W isconsin short course SODA race late in July. Jimmie Johnson, driving the Herzog Class 8 Chevy truck was first to the checkers in spite of a leaky rear wheel seal that flamed on every right turn. Jimmie is in a three way tie for first in Class 8 with Jed Flannery and Scott Taylor. The other local guy is Evan Evans who is literally cleaning house in his Class 13 Chevy truck. Evan, who is paralyzed below the waist has outfittd his truck with hand controls which keeps him very busy on a short course. T his was Evan's third consecutive win in the SODA Series and he leads Class 13 bya huge 60 points. This event was televised and will be shown on ESPN2 on August 25 and 26. LATER FLASH!!! Evan Evans does it again at Bark River in the SODA Series. This was Evan's fifth series win this year and his 50 point lead puts him in an almost insurmountable position to win the Class 13 champion-ship this year. A TIENTION RACE ORGANIZERS -Dusty Times cannot cover every race around the country.Your race is, however, important to us and to you and your participants. We would like to be able to cover all the races but we have neither the means or the personnel. A short story, a few photos and results will get your race stories into Dusty Times.

They were just under three minutes back. The Wilsons ran third now, with Herbst up to fourth as Sourapas and Rich-ardson had major difficulties and lost hours. That put Doug Fortin, in his V 4 powered Chenowth, into fifth place. On the last lap Arciero had a rear flat and had to use his turning brake to limp to his pit for a change. Ebberts made a stop for some power steering fluid. Their crews lined up at the finish to see who'd get home first. Then word came that Arciero had two rear flats. His crew was on the way. And while they labored to get to Frank and get him moving again, Ebberts ran on, headed for the finish. But the next report said that Ebberts was broken, and being pushed. Word came that Arciero was moving again, and this time he kept it going, and got to the finish line first, to get the win for himself and Gordon. No sooner had Arciero and Gordon got safely to the finish, than Ebberts showed up, being pushed by George Erl in his Class 10 car. He told the finish line Michael Martin cruised to the win in Stock Mini in his Ford Ranger in six ff hours, one minute and change.

Immediately he was surrounded by his crew and a smattering of Gordon's crew, all eager to get him going again. But it wasn't easy. He had a broken c.v., which was replaced, and then somehow the axle became jammed and the car wouldn't go forward. The crew hammered and shoved and sweated. Pit men ran for more tools, inviting heat stroke as the midday sun baked the desert. Agitation started in the outskirts as questions arose about the legality of the action. He'd been pushed across the finish line after all, and that was a no-no.

Steve and his Ford covered the course in six hours, two minutes and holds fifth in points in class. The Hayley/Johnson Ford finished second in Stock Full, twenty minutes behind the leader.

checked again, and this time disqualified. After the Baja 500 he took steps to make sure his car measured correctly. He told one and all he'd "shortened it two inches" before the Barstow race, and was feeling good about things again. On the second lap the Grab, owskis went into the lead, with Seeley second and James and Kalicki in third place. A big, fast buggy ran into the rear of Reider's car and pushed his cage into his case, breaking it and ending his race. All the others disappeared on this lap also.

Kalicki and James were 32 seconds behind him. But it wasn't over. The SCORE tech team pulled Seeley and the James/ Kal, icki car into impound and proceeded to measure the wheel base. And the upshot of a lot of action with the tape measure was that they disqualified the horrified Seeley, stating that his wheel base was still a half,inch too long. Tom Dittfield and Alan Cook pressed on to take the win in Class 5-1600. They were out there for seven and a half hours but they flew the car home in good time. minute and 29 seconds behind the lead car. Steele cranked off the class fast lap the second time around, at 1 :28:35, and moved into the lead, with Jefferies now second and Forrest in third after losing a power steering belt. Now Web, ster and Woolf had dropped to fourth and Don Lampus, Jr. ran fifth in his Jimco. Rodriguez was out. Jefferies had no problems to slow him down, but his brother's pumper helmet broke and he had no fresh air, a very uncomfortable situation in the 100 degree plus heat. They took the win, with Forrest and Prosser finishing second about a minute and a half later. In third it was Steele and Rosevear, who'd had another front flat, and then Lampus was fourth, exhausted after driving all the way himself. Webster and Woolf faded away and Mitch Griffin and Dave Shively moved in to fifth place, their trans, mission clunking ominously for the final mile. The Grabowskis banged a few wheels but they managed to finish first in Class 5. Their five hour, forty seven minute time was almost a forty three mile an hour average. The Fireworks attracted a gaggle of 1600s, and all but one of them made it through the first lap. It was reminiscent of the old days. Craig Forrest had the lead in his Mirage, but was only a second in front of Darnen Jefferies in a Jimco. In third it was Scott Webster and Rodney Woolf in their ORBS, while Brian Steele ran fourth in his Suspensions Unlimited car.

,pr Todd Clement had his Ford in fourth place. Chuck Harris was fighting a carburetion problem and ran last. Dave Ashley had his Ford out for this race also, but was running as a Sportsman, not for points, since he was testing some new ideas, and his truck no longer exactly matched the others. Unfortun-ately, he broke on the second lap. But his first lap.time would have put him in the lead by about five minutes. Some of the new things he's trying out must be working. On the second lap Barlow expanded his lead with the fast lap for the class at 1:27:46, while Vildosola held firm in second. Krieger was still third, with Harris up to fourth as Clement lost almost an hour. On the third lap Barlow, who drove all the way, was still ahead, and now he had about 19 minutes on Vildosola's c~driver, Brian Stewart, who had fuel pump trouble. Harris, overheating some, was now third as Krieger broke and Clement settled into fourth place. :~~ The James/Kaliki Class 5 is always a contender and at Barstow they finished a 1 #" •d"" ·'"" ., -,,;; mere seven minutes out of first in Class 5. The Westham/Salmont Chevy is not only good looking, it goes fast too! The Barlow had a small carburetion problem on the last lap, and he was also having to pump his brakes, but no one caught him, and he took the win, his first in this class. Stewart broke a bolt in the steering, and had a flat, but finished second, with Harris third, saying that this event was rougher than either the Las Vegas race or the Baja 500. Clement was fourth about 25 minutes later. The Class 7 folks were led by Chris and Rick Taylor in their Ford at the end of lap one, and they had almost 10 minutes on Mario Gutierrez in another Ford, and then came Pat Arnold and Damien Mavis in their Chevy, followed by A.J. DeNunzio in his Toyota. Larry Roeseler, usually out in front in his Chevy, had run afoul of another racer backing onto the course in the dust, and had broken a balljoint. He was a halp-hour down, in fifth place. On the second lap Roeseler had everything going for him and ran a good lap to move into the lead. Gutierrez was second, Arnold and Mavis were still third and DeNunzio ran fourth. The Taylors had flip-flopped posi-tions with Roeseler, and now ran fifth after losing an hour and a half. Roeseler handed off to Jerry McDonald who found it hard to keep the truck running, but he stayed in front, and Gutierrez's co-drivers, Steve and Tim Lawrence stayed in second place. Arnold was still third, followed by DeNunzio and then the Taylors. McDonald, still not liking the way the truck was running, recorded the class fast lap, at 1 :24:47, on lap four and cemented the team's win. Gutierrez and the two Lawrences, who'd had fuel pump problems and a broken tie rod, as well as an overheating transmission, were second. None of the others got that last lap finished. sland21~ ------.~,,,,,,,,.,.,,,,,,.nt -Class 75 had an even harder . time of it. At the end of the first lap Sean Mecham had the lead in his Ford, with nearly an hour on Scott Steinberger and Bruce Landfield, in a Ford. Steinberger had got off to a bad start for the weekend by blowing his motor during testing of Friday. Since he didn't have time to get it fixed he did the next best thing, and rented a ride in Landfield's truck, so he could stay in the points hunt.

Javi'er Espinoza, in a six cylinder Chevy, had lost some brake lines on the first lap. Gordon stopped once for fuel and at the same time he changed his rear tires. But he didn't have any flats, except for one low tire that they changed in a pit. He found the course very technical and rough, but built up a real head of speed and recorded the fast lap at 1:04:18, on his last lap and took the victory. His average speed for the three laps was 57 .102 miles per hour. Simon and Simon said they could run only at about 75% because of their blown shock, and also reported hitting rocks and getting flats in the dust. They finished second. MacCachren finished third, one rear tire completely denuded of tread in the center. He said he'd tried making up time on the last lap, but had gone out in the rocks to pass someone and flattened a tire. Ragland, who said he'd flattened five tires, was fourth, with Renezeder in fifth place, reporting more flats on the last lap. Stewart was sixth, and he1 too, had a flat on the last lap , o ne he had to change himself. When asked if the dust had been much of a problem for him he said there hadn't been too much dust, "I can't run fast enough to get into t he dust," referring t o the September 1996 Paul and Dave Simon, ever the competitors, raced Robby for all they were worth but they came up a wee bit short.

Scott McKinney, in a Dodge that was once part of the Walker Evans stable, drove in a SCORE Trophy-Truck event for the first time, and even after an all night session trying to get some last minute problems sorted out, had a pretty good day. His shocks faded, he had a flat and the dust was terrible, but he finished seventh. Actually, he finished eighth, but gained a position when the Herbsts were penalized one position for speeding in a controlled zone. LeDuc lost so much time with his first lap 'repairs that he didn't get time to make his third lap, a major disappointment for his team. Baldwin, after doing two laps with no power steering wasn't un-happy about not being allowed out for a third one. He was exhausted. The lead in the points standings now belongs to Gordon, with 261 points to MacCachren's 223, and the Simon brothers run third with 199.

The Second Stop Of The Exciting SODA World Series Of Off Road Racing Thundered In Antigo, WI, With Incredible Racing Action And Record Crowds By Michelle Halverson Plwt.os: Jeanne Brown/Track.side Plwt.o Inc. Scoring his first win of the season in his new Chevy, Jack Flannery won Class 4 :taking the lead early and gaining a comfortable margin. His new truck was designed and constructed by Clive Smith who in past years built Baja racers. Jack finished the meet by running and winning the Heavy Metal Challenge in the Class 4 rig. The exciting and challenging SODA World Series of Off Road Racing thundered into Antigo, WI, for the second stop of the season, the Chevrolet Off Road Championships. Sunny skies and warm temperatures only added to the perfect, action packed wee-kend of racing. As drivers get the bugs worked out of their new veh-icles, the competition only gets better. Jimmie Crowder of Talla-hassee, FL, commented on the competition before his Class 8 race, which describes the racing in every class this year. "There are half a dozen or more drivers that are really capable of winning. The competition this year is at an all time high". The first race of the Chevrolet Off Road Championships, organ-ized by the Antigo Kiwanis Club and event promoters, Joe Servi and Tom Schuh, was Class 6. A large field of seven took the green flag and tested their skills on this 1 .5 mile track incorporating fast straight-aways, high jumps, tight turns and a rhythm section. Bill Graboski, Oshkosh, WI, was out front at the checkered, taking home his first win of the season. Points leader, Rick Rayford, Schofield, WI, came in second, with Leonard Gehl, New Berlin, WI, taking third. Next to the line up two wide for the standing start were six vehicles in Class 8S. This class was intro-duced last year and has become a very exciting class to watch with great racing action. Cheryl Wal-ton from Willimasburg, Michi-gan, took the checkered for her second win of the season with Terry Friday, Oshkosh, WI, fin-ishing second and Randy Krall, Stratford, WI coming in third. This weekend of racing is the first event to use the inverted start which will be adopted by every event of the SODA Series in 1996. The top twelve positions will be inverted based on the year to date points standings. This should make for even greater rac-ing action and excitement as the points leaders have to battle through the field for a shot at first place. Class 5-1600 were up next with eight drivers taking the line. Tim Christensen, from Gillett, WI, took home his first win of the season, Chuck Johnson finished second, with points leader and SODA President, Terry Wolfe, Wauwautosa, WI, taking third. A large field of twenty-two Class 11 D buggies were next on the schedule. After finishing elev-enth in Lake Geneva, Greg Stin-gle, Appleton, WI, improved his points position by coming across the line first, taking the win. Gary Behrens, LaCrosse, WI, was next in second place, and points leader Tim Christensen, came in third. Class 13 was up next with a huge field of twenty-one trucks taking the line. As everyone piled into the first corner causing two to get sideways, Lonnie Andrews, North Star, MI,JasonJanusz, Sul-livan, WI, David Reetz, Apple-ton, WI and Ed Schultz, Kenosha, WI, made it out in front. Reetz was right on Janusz trying to get around for second while Joe Zilisch, Ringle, WI, moved up to fourth. Janusz gets wide and loses his position to Reetz. Evan Evans, -,.,,. --· Also scoring multiple wins Jeff St. Peter won Class 9/10 with VW power, put in a Toyota engine overnight and won Class 1 /2 and later won the Unlimited Buggy Shootout. In the same car Paula ran and won the Woinens Unlimited Buggy race making it four for four starts, quite a start on the season. Riverside, CA, has also moved up right behind Ed Schultz and gets around on the inside. Andrews pulls off the track. This puts Reetz in first, Zilisch in second and Evans in third. Evans is right on Zilisch 's bumper with both closing in on Reetz. Zilisch moves to the inside and gets around Reetz for first place. As the leaders come up on lap traffic.

As Evans tries to get back the time that he has lost, the hood comes up on his truck impairing his view of the track and finally comes off. As he goes into the corner, his engine dies. He gets it started again but doesn't have enough time to catch Zilisch who takes home his first win of the season. Evans finishes second with RJ Flanagan, Hartland, WI taking third. Next on the schedule, Class 9 / 10. Twelve buggies lined up and took the green flag, with Jeff St. Peter, Belgium, WI, taking the early lead. Behind him Ryan Mulder, Manitowoc, WI, Cliff Holiday, Green Bay, WI, and Chad Hord, Iron Mountain, Ml, all get together in the corner. Hol-iday then gets tangled up again as Dan Baudoux, Hemlock, Ml, gets together with him. Coming out of this mesy start in second and third were Richie Ault, Bark River, MI, and Trent Hanson, Rockford, IL. Pat Dean, Las Vegas, NV, in fourth, runs side by side with Hanson and gets around him for third. Meanwhile, St. Peter has opened up a good lead. Dean then catches up with Ault and they bat-tle side by side down the front stretch. Dean gets around for second. Todd Wallace, Bark River, Mi, and Ault get together and Ault gets a flat tire. Baudoux is moving back up through the pack after getting together with Holiday and has made it up to fifth position. St. Peter is holding onto his lead and Dean has also put quite a bit of space between him and third place, Hanson. Wallace is in fourth but not for long as Baudoux gets around him and has his sights set on Hanson. Baudoux moves to the inside and takes over third position. Scott Schwalbe, Rhinelander, WI, also gets around Hanson for fourth but smoke is coming from his veh-icle. Dean, currently in second, has a flat and pulls into the pits. The checkered flag flies for St. Peter, with points leader, Bau-doux taking home a second place finish, Scott Schwalbe holds onto third, Mark Oberg, Eagle River, WI, fourth and Dean gets back out after his pit stop to take fifth. The first of the Heavy Metal trucks to take the line were in Class 8 as eighteen pull up to the start. As the flagman waves the green flag, we find Scott Taylor, Belvidere, IL, Jimmie Johnson, El Cajon, CA, Jim Hanson, Oconto, WI, Dave Hackers, DePere, WI, and Jimmie Crowder, Tallahas-see, FL out in front. Points leader Jed Flannery, Wisconsin Dells, WI, did look to have a good start but spins in the first corner. Tay-lor and Johnson open up a small lead over the rest of the pack. Crowder makes a good pass and gets around two trucks for third place. Dan Vanden Heuvel, Appleton, WI and Flannery take fourth and fifth. Taylor opens up a good lead as Johnson gets a little wide. Flannery moves up on Vanden Heuvel, gets around him, and finds himself on Crowder's bumper when he spins again allowing Vanden Heuvel to take back his fourth place position. Second place, Johnson, starts to smoke and pulls off the track with oil flow problems. This moves Crowder to second, Vanden Heuvel to third and Flannery to fourth. Vanden Heuvel and Flannery again battle side by side and once again Flannery slides sideways. Vanden Heuvel moves up on Crowder and gets around him for second on the last lap. As Crowder tries to regain his posi-tion he also spins and Flannery takes over third. Taylor takes an easy win with Vanden Heuvel coming in second, Flannery third and Crowder fourth.

Millen Fastest, But Pikes Peak Is The Overall Winner Text & Photos: Stetie Page Rod Millen regained his title of King of the Hill in the Toyota Celica Turbo. He was fastest overall last July and-won the Unlimited Class and was not surprised that he did not break his own record, on the course which was really slippery. After coming off one of the worst weather years in the history of the Chevrolet International Pikes Peak Auto Hill Climb, veteran rallyist Rod Millen figured conditions this year would be much more conducive to breaking the mountain's elusive 10 minute barrier. But for the second straight year, Pikes Peak was quite unwilling to yield the first sub 10 minute run. Winterlike conditions prevailed over man and machine in 1995, with ice and snow on the upper sections of the road, forcing race officials to shorten the finish by three miles. This year, heat and dryness combined to foil the field on Independence Day. As nearly everyone predicted, Millen, of Newport Beach, CA, outdueled Tokyo driver Nobu, hiro Tajima for the Unlimited championship. What nearly nobody figured was Millen finishing more than nine seconds off the overall record he estab, lished in 1994. When he had negotiated the 12.42 mile gravel course that climbs through 156 turns from 9,400 feet to Pikes Peak's 14,110 foot summit, Millen had a feeling the mountain would win the 74th edition of the Climb to the Clouds. When his time of 10 minutes 13 .64 seconds was announced, Millen was not surprised. "I figured about a 10: 10," he said. "The lower half of the road was very fast, but the top was very slippery. I figured there would be no records up on this part of the mountain today." It sure appeared records would fall two days before the race itself. That's when Millen broke the overall qualifying record by two seconds, racing over the road's lower half in 4:28.17. " I expect the road to be the same (on Race Day)," Millen said after his qualifying run. "It should be very good." But an almost relentless sun, and a lack of the usual afternoon showers combined to make the road dry and slick. No matter that Millen's turbocharged, winged, all,wheel,drive Toyota Celica did its part. "The car was just fantastic," Millen said. "The key to driving quickly is that the balance is there, and this car is very balanced. It's just that the top half off the road was hard to figure.' The same held true for Tajima and his turbocharged, winged, all,wheel,drive V6 Suzuki Sport. He overcame the mechanical maladies that plagued his new car through practice and qualifying, finishing second to Millen in the Unlimited class at 10:21.88. "Very slippery," complained Tajima. "The bottom was slippery; the top even more. I'm very happy to go to the finish.We had so many problems before the start because the car is so new. Our aim was under 10 minutes. Today, not possible. Maybe next time." Millen also vowed to return for the gala 75th running of the race, saying, "Oh, absolutely. the challenge is to get up this mountain. Every year is different.'' This race certainly presented a different challenge to defending Open Wheel champion Gary Lee Kanawyer of Pismo Beach, CA. Kanawyer drives a car designed especially for hill climbing. It's a derivative of the sand buggy brought to the mountain more than two decades ago by former Florida resident John Wells. He refined that rear engined car, beefing up the frame, adding a stronger suspension and replacing the Volkswagen engine with a V8 Chevrolet. He dubbed the car the Wells,Coyote, and predicted eventual success, both in hill climbs and in off road venues. Beginning with 1979 victor Dick Dodge Jr., of Colorado Springs, Wells,Coyotes have won 10 Open Wheel championships. A full,bodied version driven by Bud Hoffpauir of Colorado Springs Nobuhiro Tajimi, who won last time out, came back from Japan for another try at the record in his V6 Suzuki. He wa·s second in the Unlimited Division with a run of 10:21:88 . . also won the SCCA Pro Rally side of the race in 1981. This year, Kanawyer found just how well the W ells,Coyotes work in adverse conditions. His right rear tire began to deflate with three miles remaining, but he pressed on. By the time he reached the summit, all that was left of the tire were bits of rubber on the edge of the rim. Still, he won the division, finishing in 11 :25 .95. That bested the 11 :34 .86 of David Donner of Colorado Springs, who finished behind the wheel of a Donner/ Dkystra. That's a machine designed with IndyCar configura, tions, but adapted slightly for hill climbs. John Johnson of Reno, Nevada, driving a Volkswagen powered Greenwood /Hull buggy, finished third at 12:29.20. Kanawyer was amazed at his victory, saying. "I knew it wasn't exactly safe, but what do you do? You've got to get up here. I could see chunks of rubber passing me. But I decided I'd take it up to the top and accept the consequences. This is unbelievable. I never figured we'd win like this.'' One of the most hotly con, tested races came in Super Stock Truck, pitting the Ford Explorer of seven time Super Stock Car and two time Super Stock Truck winner Leonard Vahsholtz of nearby Woodland Park against the Chevrolet S, 10 pickup driven by Albuquerque's Robby Unser, a seven time winner in four different classes. The two ran within hundredths of a second of each other over short sections of the road in the three days of practice that preceded qualifying. Unser, whose truck is prepared by veteran off roader Roger Mears of Bakersfield, CA, set the . stage by qualifying fastest in 5:11.74. Vahsholtz was right behind at 5:14.68. Robby Unser, the youngest son of 13 time Pikes Peak and three time Indianapolis 500 winner Bobby Unser, was able to maintain that margin on Race Day, reaching the summit in 11:56.80 to 11:59.38 for Vahsholtz. "I'm appreciative and I'm thankful," Unser said. "I never try to take a bite out of the mountain. The best I can do is try to keep it from taking a bite out of me. We had a miss (engine). I thought Leonard was going to get us." Vahsholtz said Unser should have gotten the best of him. "Maybe I can talk Ford into getting me some electronics and I can go fast like Robby," Vah, sholtz said. "My computer is my right foot, hooked up to my brain. I had a good run, but they had a rich man's luxury that I don't have." Vahsholtz' 25 year old son, Clint, did have the V6 Ford Mustang prepared by his father, and that combination was enough to win the Super Stock Car class by nearly 11 seconds. The younger Vahsholtz, who won the last three Open Pro Motorcycle championships on Pikes Peak, piloted the car to a 12: 10.83 finish. That was fast enough to beat his father's old friend, Roger Warden of Independence, MO, who finished second ·at 12:21.46 in a similar Mustang prepared'by the Vahsholtz clan. Veteran driver Randy Schranz of Colo, rado Springs, making his final run up the mountain before turning his Chevrolet Monte Carlo over to his son, Layne, took third at 12:36.25. Roger Mears Jr. of Bakersfield, CA, was fourth at 12:38.08 in a Chevrolet Camaro, and Gay Smith of Colorado Springs drove a V6 Mustang to fifth place in the race's biggest division, reaching the summit in 12:45.11 after losing a power steering belt just before leaving the starting line. The division that is quickly becoming a fan favorite is Class 8 . Truck, featuring Cummins powered diesel tractors mo're commonly seen hauling cargo trailers across this counti:y's highways. That class also pro, duced the only record for cars and trucks. Sid Compton of Burdett, NY, bested his year old record of 16:59.10 with a run of 15:48.88. His brother, Ed, was second at 15:52.61. Gary Lee Kanowyer approaches the finish line on three wheels after his right Clint Vahsholtz, a local second generation racer, gets through the last rear tire went flat three miles from the checkers. It was amazing to find he had switchbacks en route to a winning time of 12:10:83 in Super Stock Car The other class winners were Japan's Akira Kameyama, 11:44.43 in Pikes Peak Open;Jeff Zwart of Woody Creek, CO, 12:34.46 in High Performance Showroom Stock; and Ted Jones, 24:00.42 in Electric.

He broke away from the pack of five riders that made up the front row and rode his W ood-Rotax 600 to the finish at 12:33.73. Brian Anderson of Colorado Springs, a three time champion, was second at 12:45.41, and Randy Triplet of Lakeville, MN, made it a 1-2-3 W ood-Rotax sweep with a finish of 12:56.86. Roger Warden of Independence, MO finished second in Super Stock Car Class with a run of 12:21 :46 in his V6 Mustang, quite fast for six cylinders. Sid Compton of Burdett, NY was the Class 8 diesel truck winner at 15:48:88. His Cummins powered International broke the year old record in the run. Motorcycle riders fared better against the mountain than their car and truck driving counter-parts, as two two-wheel records fell and another was established. Chuck Lee of Ridgway, CO, bested his three year old 250 Pro record by more than 12 seconds with a ride of 13:05.91 on a Honda.

FAIR News By Dave Massingham FAIR showed with 12 cars at the Fireworks 250: Wayne Morgan & Dave Massingham # 149 finished 3rd in Class 1. This was the first finish for us in over a year, after the fire we had last year it's sure nice to finish. Wayne and Dave Hartman started and drove l ½ laps to Wildwash pit. They had a pretty clean first lap and experienced rear suspension problems arounci pit B .. Arriving to pit C, where Mac Mclaughlin and I were getting in, they changed a rear air shock and we were off. No problems from pit C back to the finish line except for the dust. Next lap was clean, passing a lot of slower cars fighting the dust we had a rear flat around check 6. Changed the spare, got to the main pit where we received a new rear tire and put the spare back on the rack. Last lap around pit B we lost the rear shock again and limped in to the finish. We want to thank all the family and friends who supported us or this race. My wife Linda and Mac's wife Kathy took care of our pit records and the radio. Eddie was our pit captain with Darren, TJ, Tony and his three sons working the pit. Jeff Quinn and Dan Fisk #116 finished 9th in class. They had the same problems we had only worse, having to rebuild a shock every lap almost. Dan started having no problems until mile 28 he hit a ditch that jarred his back. Jeff got in for lap 2, no problems until the end of the lap they lost the first shock, rebuild time. Lap 3 was clean until both rear shocks blew out, rebuild time again. After Jeff had a leisure lunch while the pit team (Dan Fisk) rebuilt both shocks with borrow-ed parts, he was off for the last lap. Jeff said he just cruised to finish since they were out of shock parts, I guess it's back to the drawing board. I think this was their first finish in the new car. Lorenzo Rodriguez# 1605 DNF. They had a clean first lap running in 5th and on the second lap at mile 28 they hit the same ditch Dan Fisk hit, but Lorenzo rolled doing major damage. Lorenzo wanted to thank the spectators who helped him with the car and gave them food and drinks, it was a short race for them. Thanks to Harry Dunne and Mike Rebolledo for the pit coverage at Slash X. Mitch Griffin and Dave Shively #1613 finished 5th in class and 0 / A. Mitch took the first and second laps having no problems, Dave took the last two. He lost the transmission but was able to limp it to the finish line. Mitch had his own problems while chasing Dave. When he was going to pit C Wildwash, Mitch got off the freeway and on the dirt road leading to the pit, he had a head on collision with another chase vehicle. Thanks to John Daly who came to the rescue and helped Mitch get his truck towed into town. AJ Rodriguez #1651 DNF. AJ is the younger son of Pepe Rodrigrez a former president of FAIR.

All the pits went well, we had a minor problem at one due to lack of communication between two teams going to the same pit location. We need to get the teams going to the same pit together early to coordinate who will take the equipment and where the pit will be located. Remember, haul your own trash out. LA RANA BARSTOW 250, JULY 21st saw almost 50% FAIR cars. Only 36 cars took the green flag, looks like LA RANA has some homework to do to stay alive. Ron Osburn and John Lucas #24 7 DNF finishing only 3 laps. Bob Wright and Russell Granath finished 1st in Class 550. Bob drove the entire race, Russ Garnath rode three and Mike Wright rode the last three. Bob said he felt very comfortable all day and had no problems.

McKenzie's Glen Helen Short Course Championship Series ■•und Four l3y Ron Miller If there was anyone in attend-ance at the Glen Helen O.H.V. Park for "Round 4" who didn't think that it was excruciatingly hot, then he or she must have bee'n a roofer from Bullhead City, Arizona, who only works in August. The Short Course Series sponsored by McKenzie's Per-formance Products was nearing the halfway point in the season when the fourth·of eight Rounds took place on June 30th. Ma Nature showed no mercy this day, as the mercury raced past 100 degrees, like George Foreman heading for the buffet line. Sorry about that, but it was really, really warm, blazing, scalding, scorch-ing, blistering, searing, hotter than heck! Round Four was nearly reduced from a battle of driving skills to a test of mercurial tolerance. While, thankfully, no fatalities were reported, a number of the competitors seemed to come unraveled late in their respective races. Despite the "much too early in the summer for it to be this hot" heat waves, there was still a respectable amount of both racers and fans in attendance. When we last met in late April, many of last year's champs were enjoying sizable leads. With the absences of John Hulsebosch and Mario Busta• mante from Round Four, and with Ramiro Gonzales finally proving that he is human, the races for Class supremacy have tightened considerably. Out of the four. racers with the largest leads fol1owing Round Three, only Denise Wittman and her 82 point lead remain comfortably ahead of the competition. Steve Owens' 98 point advantage in the A TV Pro Class and Jason Taylor's 86 point cushion in Class 8 join Wittman as the largest three leads following the completion of Round four. Assuming their position as first race of the day, were the 1-2-1600 Short Course racers. A quality field of five took to the track and scoring the first heat win was last year's "r:acer of the year" Dan Mathews. "Big Dan" got the measure of Steve Bishop who finished second, with Sean Ziegert winding up in third. Few things in racing, are as certain as the fact that either Mathews or Bishop will be taking the checkered flag at the compl;tion of race number one. The law of averages say that someone's going to beat these two fine racers eventually, and it almost came to be. In the main event "Big Dan" appeared on his way to victory on the white lag lap when he suddenly disappeared heading into "the lofter". Bishop instead of Mathews appeared, but he was in the midst of an ugly roll and seemed headed for disaster. Luckily for Bishop, someone was watching over him, and he landed back on his wheels. Unfazed, Bishop fired it up and went on to win the main. Lee Patten who finished second in heat #2' ear'i\ed the second spot overall, while Se~n Ziegert placed third for the day. The Superlites also had a field of five and1scoring the Heat One win was Covina's Joe Price. Joe finished ahead of runner-up Scott Klaers, with Josh Hulsebosch a respectable third. When they got together for the main, a field of four surfaced with Scott Klaers emerging victorious.

Doug Good-enough recovered from a heat one DNF, to grab the second spot in the main and overall results. Stacy Fay was third in the main, while Joe Price was declared third in final results. The Pilot Class had a trio of competitors, but only Clint Wolsey was still moving at the finish. Denise Wittman led for most of the heat before she suffered an unfortunate DNF. But Denise came right back in heat number two and scored a good win. The second spot in the main went to Wolsey and with it went the overall score for the day. Wittman placed second and helped pad her lead in the season series totals. Guy Savedra in his #88 Oddyssey raced to an uncontested victory. In the A TV Pro Class #12 Steve Owens proved best in both Heats One and Two. With #27 Brent Spooner the only other Pro signed up for action this day, Owens was able to stretch his series points lead to a commanding 98 points over his nearest rival. Spooner's second place finish was good enough to move him into a fourth place tie in the seasons point chase. In the A TV Intermediate Class a field of ten took part and Buzz Clucas swept both heats to prove a convincing winner on the day. He was followed across the line by Frankie Politelli in both heats. Third, fourth, and fifth spots in Heat One went to Scott LeTour-neau, Scott Roberts, and Chris Alvarado respectively. In Heat Two Alvarado took the third spot, which moved him into the fourth spot overall, ahead of Roberts, but just behind LeTourneau. Class 1-2-1600 Desert had a compact field of three competi-tors. Continuing his winning ways was Gary Bussjaeger. Number 1608 blitzed them early and late as he swept both heats. Chasing Bussjaeger home in Heat One was Jim Fay, with Bob Dziurawiec in third. In the main "Big Bob" earned the runner-up spot, to nip Fay for the overall second spot on the day. Bussjaeger's fine performance catapulted him into a four point lead in the points chase heading into Round Five. Class 5-1600 had a field of four and the day clearly belonged to Jeffrey Hantz. Hantz, in car #588, scored the victory in Heat One over runner-up Kyle Sullivan. Sean Bennett finished ahead of Robert Reuland to grab the third spot. In the main event, l.:Iantz came right back to prove his Heat Orie win was no fluke. He again raced to victory, this time with Sean Bennett moving up to second.Kyle Sullivan had to settle for third in the main. Overall it was Hantz, Bennett, and Sullivan third. Class 9 again had a trio of competitors. In Heat One the winner turned out to be #918 Dan Mustoe. The second spot went to #949 Dan Berry, and #902 Arto Ylikangus completed the Heat September 1996 One scoring. In Heat Two Berry was able to turn the tables on Mus toe and earn his first ever win ever. Mus toe settled for the second spot this day, but continues to lead his class by 30 points. In Super 1600/ Class 10 action Aaron Hawley put on a good show as he powered his way to a Heat One victory. Finishing second was Eddie Lynch, with Gary Gall placing third. In the main it was all Gall, as he gained the win to increase his season points l~ad to 74 points. Placing second behind Gall in the main and overall results was Lynch, with Hawley third. In a post race interview Gall commented on what a "good race it was until Aaron broke". He also took the time to thank his wife and his sponsors. -In Class 11 there were five competitors, and the Heat One winner was #1104 Jake Batulis. Coming in secnd was # 1163 Dennis Sletten, Tom Preston, Tom Haliburda and Robert Henderson completed the finish-ing order in Heat One. In the main event, Dennis Sletten came through with the win, with Jake Batulis second and Tom Preston third. With his Heat Two win, Sletton was able to just edge Batulis 'for the overall win, with Preston a clear-cut third. The Rally Class had three entrants and Dennis Chizma raced to a good win in heat number one. Finishing up in the runner-up slot was Matt Sweeney. In the main, Sweeney seemed well on his way to a certain win when he broke late in the race. The winner turned out to be Lincoln Woodward with Chizma in second and the tough-luck Sweeney next. Chizma gained the overall victory, with Woodward placing second. Despite his unfortunate DNF in the main, Sweeney maintains a sizable 54 point lead at the halfway point in the series. Classes 7 and 7 S had a total of six slated to do battle. For the 7 sit was Doug Siewert who scored the win in Heat One in truck #708. Gary Keller assumed the driver's duties for the main, but with no other Class 7 competition, it was a mere formality. Thus the Class 7 overall win this day went to the team of Siewert and Keller. In the 7Ss a rare phenomenon occurred. Ramiro Gonzalez wasn't perfect. So flawless has been Gonzalea' performances thus far in the series, that it's big news should he not win a race. A strange thing happened on the way to his heat one victory, he fell victim to inertia.· He came into the final turn of lap one just a bit too hot and couldn't save it. There were some very tense moments as Gonzalez' truck rolled at the top of the straightaway. Collective breaths were held as he sat precariously at the head of the straight, while each and every member of the field raced up to, then around him. Beneficiary of #777's roll was Dean Williams, who went on to grab the heat one victory. finishing in the second spot was Mike Yarman, with Bill Markel earning third. When the main was run, it was back to business as usual, as Gonzalez resumed his winning ways. He scored the Heat Two victory without incident, but very quietly Williams has climbed to within 12 points of the top spot. Williams took second in-the main, and with it, the overall victory. Back to back La Rana (LRDR) Desert Champion Bill Markel's twin thirds on the day secured the second spot overall, while Mike Yarman, fellow LRDR racer, was just able to beat out Jim Highley for third on the day. The final race on the card was for Classes 8 and 8S. In Class 8 it was the #803 truck of Jason Taylor again putting on an exhibition, as he made a shambles of the competition. Taylor's powerful wins were never in doubt, as he blasted his way to a sweep of both heats. Dwight Greene finished runner-up in both heat one and overall results. In 8S some fine racing was on display. Four were signed up for action and as promised "Dyna-mite Dan" Cannon continued his improvement with a most excellent win in Heat One. He blitzed the field, with Todd Wittman finishing in the runner-up spot. Sean McKenzie earned third ahead of Shad Kennedy. The main event saw Todd Wittman put it all together in this, only his second race, in his new truck and class. Wittman has made the jump from the Superlites Class to . 8S look almost too easy. Along with his first in heat two, went the overall score. Sean McKenzie finished second in the main and third overall while Cannon's scorecard read just the opposite. Cannon's consistency has pro-pelled him to a four point edge in the seasonal point standings over McKenzie, but both would be wise to keep an eye on the rapid development of Wittman. Esp-ecially since there's still a lot of racing left to be contested, before this year's champs are crowned. With the completion of Round Four we've officially reached the point in the series. Round five is to take place on July 28th, and if the first half of the season is any indication we're in for some thrilling racing just down the road. Speaking of things to come, look for some exciting additions in our upcoming Glen Helen coverage. Next issue should be sporting three new innovations, along with the usual goodies. Look for expanded race results, which will contain the names and finishing positions of all racers entered. Also included with be "Personal Profiles" of the sports top stars, as well as the behind the scenes men and women who make the whole show happen. Another new feature appearing in our next issue will be the "Featured Class" section, which will give all fans an inside peak into the minds of the racers as we dissect their strategies and preparations before they take to the track. So don't wander too far, 'cuz you won't want to miss any of the action just ahead. Dusty Times

FALLON ISO AT NIGHT Denton/Scudder Go 3 For 3 In VORRA Desert Racing Todd Denton and Clayton Scudder were the Class 10 winners as well as the overall winners, covering the required laps in less than six and a half hours for a well deserved win. Dale Carr out of Fallon, NV was the winner in Class 1 Vet and his clean looking buggy was the only finisher iri class. Todd Denton and Clayton Scudder came from behind to win their third overall desert race for this year in VORRA racing. They took advantage of Sam Berri's and Tim Bowman/George Reese's last lap misfortune to set fastest overall time for the night. Race action was intense as only eight cars finished the required distance. Many cars suffering front end breakage as the course is mostly lined with rocks that seem to jump out and attack wheels during the nighttime hours. The course was basically the same as last year except for minor changes but still has one of the most diverse course terrains for VORRA desert racing. The night race format allows for the entire race schedules to be done on one day. Race registra-tions and technical inspection on Saturday morning at the Nugget Casino on Main Street in Fallon had 42 cars through by 1 p.m. close. Race action started at 5 p.m. with Class 1 s leading off the pack. First of the line was Gary Steele who was set out for the overall win. Following Steele was the first pro car of Charlie Ketten with Sam Berri also going for the overall. By check point 2, Berri Running ·into the night, Perry Dennington ran hard all day to finish first in Class 1600 and a sparkling second overall. Tim Bowman and George _Reese held the overall lead for the first three laps but a cranky distributor cost them lots of downtime and dropped them to second iii Class 10 and third overall.

Fourth place and second in the vets goes to Gary Steele and Mack. Mack, Nickel and Renke rounded out the three lap finishers for fifth place, third in vet. Class 10 action was furious as Todd Denton had another flat in the first half of the first lap - again. After a resulting miscue at an outpit reinstalling the jack, Denton was 19 minutes behind Tim Bowman as Bowman was on fire holding the lead through the first three laps. Making a good show on lap 1 wasJimJukes who was holding a minute lead over Denton for second. His time would slip back and the team would drop out after two laps. Starting the last lap, George Reese was driving now for Tim Bowman and had an eight minute lead over Clayton Scudder who was now in for Todd Denton. Reese would have an hour and a half of downtime as the distributor failed costing them the lead and the win. Denton and Scudder would take the ove~all and the class win, one hour and 1 7 minutes ahead of Bowman and Reese. Richard and Ryan Lesher had early race problems but finished three laps for third in Class 10. The 1600s had a great race that started with Arden Dennington . taking the first lap lead from the · pole starting position to have a seven minute lead over Ken and Nicole Ruff. Rick Philastre was just six seconds behind Ruff with Larry Folsom just three minutes behind Philastre. Doug Seymour wasn't far behind with Richard Harjo rounding out the first lap finishers in class. The second lap was a carbon copy of the first except that Larry Folsom failed to complete the lap and was out of the race. Going into the darkness and drivers changes, Dennington was still out front and on an overall conten-tion pace. Keith Robb was in for Philastre and now they were up to second place.

The venerable German car was all ready to race, but a slight lack of coolant in the radiator and tranny troubles cost them a bunch and they finished second in Class 4. Andy Wafd brought his Pilot from Concord, CA and as hard as he tried, he finished a bit over four minutes behind first place.

German would go only one mile and return to the pits with an overheating engine, they only put one gallon of distilled water in the radiator and forgot to top off the rest. The downtime would cost them 13 minutes as that's how far they were behind Scahill at the end of lap 1. Mike Koenig was in third setting a good ·pace in the Toyota with Kevin ~Mills in fourth. Jim Bosman completed one lap in seven hours 40 minutes having obvious major downtime. On lap 2, German would blow a trans and make a two hour 30 minute field change to get going again. Scahill was still out front with leaking headers and in need of oil but still in control of the field. Koenig took over second while German was making repairs. The class would run out of time and Scahill was the winner with only three laps complete. German would regain second in the late night hours and Koenig was third, first in Vet Class 4. Kevin Mills finished two laps for fourth, second in vets. Class 9 had the tightest battle with Lance Rhinehart leading the pack at the end of one lap. Tom Hatch was running second but blew a trans on lap 2. On lap 2 as darkness settled in, Rhinehart shorted an alternator at check point 3 and Forrest Creasy took over the lead only to run off the road, returning to check 3 for repairs.

In Group N there was a . three way fight between Mitsubi-shi, headed by Nittel, the Argen-tine driver Jorge Recalde and the Uruguayan Gustavo Trelles, against the Ford of Argentina championship leader Jorge Bescham and the Subaru of Luis Oxoteguy. One of the problems facing every team on this rally is the lack of advance testing opportunities created by the special pressures of this year's calendar. All the teams relied on last minute car testing in the few days before the official reconnaissance period started. SEAT entered their two Group N recce cars on the event, a move which gave them extra points when one of their Group A team cars retired on the event itself. Subaru planned a conservative approach. Ford prepared for water crossings, as many as nine in one day was possible, and relied heavily on Sainz experience and feedback. On the other hand Mit-subishi had never competed here as a team and neither had their drivers. They knew the surfaces were rocky or sandy, and Burns did some test work on his own.

There have been three rallies that have taken place so far in the new season. Rim of the World was the first event which kichd off out Pro · Rally Season. As usual Rim of the World was very exciting with a lot of good competition among all of the classes. The second event of the year that we were privileged to be involved in this year was the Ensenada Rally 2000. First place overall was Augustine Zamora. In second place was our own Mike and Paula Gibeault. Third place was the talented team of Ray --Roger Hull and Shawn Gal-overall in the Datsun 510 and lagher pulled out second in 4 were uncontested.

Jamice Damitio took first place in the 4WD Open Class and Dave White took first in the 2WD Open Class. In .the Performance Stock Class the Gary English and Roger Allison team took firs~ place. And in the Stock Clas·s Frank Perudi took first place. The next rally on our calendar is the Gorman Ridge Pro Rally which will be held in Fraizer Park on August 10th. We look forward to seeing all of you there. This rally proves to be one of the funnest rallies of the year. Also since this year is the 20th anniversary of CRS we have designed and anniversary T-shirt which will hopefully be available by the Prescott race which is in October. Our deepest condolences go out to John Elkin and his family for the recent loss of his father Robert Elkin. Donations can be made to the American Lung Association in memory of Robert Elkin. Page49 \
