Trail Notes ... ROBBY GORDON - I don't know how many of you watched the NASCAR Winston Cup race at Watkins Glen a while ago, but it sure looked like Off road, Indy Car, Nascar driver Robby Gordon was finally going to take the checkered flag, and well deserved at that. He certainly dominated the race and even Jeff Gordon, the eventual winner said he wasn't sure if he had enough to take Robby. What happened? A battery box exploded, a battery box mandated into each car by NASCAR for the television network so if they want to, they can read the rpm and speed and braking patterns of the drivers. So now what? Robby had to bail out of his car when the smoke and flames came along and who gets screwed? Robby Gordon, o{ course and one wonders what if anything NASCAR is going to do about it and when. On the up side, we have just heard that Robby will be driving the 31 car for Childress next year. Stay tuned. S CCA PRORALLY OJIBWE FORESTS -The Ojibwe Forests Rally, number 7 on the SCCA schedule was run August 17-18 outside of Bemidji, Minnesota in perfect rally weather. Open Class and overall winner was Mark Lover, Subaru WRX, Seamus Burke was_ second in his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. The FIA Group N win went to Karl Scheible, Subaru WRX. Production GT Class was taken by Nat Snow in a Subaru WRX. Michael Hurst took the Group 5 win in his Ford Mustang and Dave Coleman was the Production winner with our own Paula Gibeault in the right seat of the Hyundai Tiburon. Robert Nielsen was the Group 2 winner in his VW Golf Gti. MOVING TIME -Just in over the wire, the Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) is leaving their Colorado -headquarters after 30 years of residence and are relocating to Topeka, Kansas and will be located near the Heartland Park Topeka race circuit. This new site will create a campus for SCCA where they can host Solo and road racing events and training facilities for their many volunteer workers. We wish them well in thei·r new home. RED FACE DEPARTMENT -Gee'z, are we embarrassed, we made a terrible mistake in last month's issue. On page 4 we issued a plea for financial aid to help SNORE fight the big Nevada land grab and we printed the WRONG phone number for SNORE. Please contact them at 702-452-4522. Your editor takes personal res_ponsibility for this error. Please do what you can to help SNORE in this fight. Remember, the Sierra Club and all their lackeys don't want any of us out there in the desert, so pitch in for the common good. 0 FF ROAD FOR HOPE IV -Three days of activities, runs, fun and games will be gearing up at the Ocotillo Wells State Vehicular Recreation Area, Ocotillo Wells, CA during the weekend ofFebruaty 1-3, 2002:'Registration is $35 for multi-seat vehicles, $30 for dual-sport motorcycle run and $15 for all adults riding single seat vehicles. FWD vehicles have a choice of 13 runs rated novice to expert, street legal dirt bikes can run a 120 mile Dual Sport Motorcycle Run and all vehicles can participate in the.Desert Roundup. There is also a poker run, mystery runs and a rock crawling challenge. All proceeds go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. In 2001, this event drew over 600 vehicles and raised more than $50,000 for the MDA. You're getting' plenty of advance warning, so plan to attend this super worthwhile event and help some of those who need the help very badly. D EBBIE LEA YES BFG/MICHELIN -We were terribly distressed to hear that Debbie' Dicker hoof is leaving the BFG/Michelin Corporation at the end of August. Debbie has been the liaison in Akron between BFG and the off road racing world for as long as we can remember and she will be sorely missed by all who came in contact with her. We wish Debbie all the best as she goes on to a new, and hopefully.J>righter future. Stay in touch! RACE ORGANIZERS - All of you out there, whatever state or whatever country you are in will want to be in the Dusty -Times Off Road Competition Calendar, the centerpiece of the January issue each year.

SNORE KC HILITES MIDNIGHT SPECIAL Anderson/Gubler Steal The Show By John Calvin Photos: Trackside Photo Jeremy Gubler and Danny Anderson showed everybody else the way home, taking the Overall win and the Class 1 O honors too. The 30th SNORE Midnight Special was held on one of the hottest weekends of the year but, weather be damned, everybody I spoke to had a great time, win, lose or draw and many of the new to SNORE racers had such a good time they swore to me that they would be back for more racing ~ith SNORE. Contingency was supposed to be at the new Terrible. Herbst Hotel and Casino (sponsors of the race) but there were too many cars, too many contingency people so contingency and tech-nical inspection moved a short way down the block where there was a huge empty space and boy, did we fill it up. There was a steady flow of race cars and trucks through the line all night long and although. it was very, very hot and quite . dirty, there were no complaints and before long everyone had been teched and contingencied and wended their way to their hotels or out to the race course where their pits had already been set up. The race was scheduled to start at six on Saturday evening, there was a pre-run early Satur-day morning which was heavily attended and again, the sun shone brightly all day and the heat was there for all to enjoy. Class 1 was first off the line but the casualties were heavy and Robertson get in and run the fi-nal lap. The combo was a good one and it was a happy group • that accepted the first place hon-ors in Class 1. . Class 10 was next to go· and there were 15 very intimidating cars and combos of drivers all ready to take the win. Once again, som_e of them failed to recognize the difficulty of some parts of the course and it bit them badly. We lost Ben Schlimme, Ken Flippin and Kory Halopoff on the first lap. Michael Gaughan Jr. had area-sonable first lap but a broken steering column put him on the trailer after the first lap. Sean Sessa also had a good first lap but he too retired after Lap 1, reason unknown. Jeff Shiroky wasn't having a good day either, he got two laps under his belt and disappeared from the charts. Tom Craig had a reasonable fi~st lap, really turned it on the sec-_ond lap, slipped a bit on the third and then he too was out of the race. This left eight com-petitors fighting for the win. B.J. Baldwin had troubles all night Bill Shapley had to overcome a real. earthy problem but he was able to take the Sportsman Buggy Win. · · Stuart Chase had a bit of help from Billy Robertson, taking the coveted Class 1 win at the Midnight Special. Jeremy Harmon beat out a bunch of folks foe his Class 9 victory and found the win a fiscal boost. long, only one really fast lap and a couple of really slow ones rel-egated him to an eighth place finish. Neil Kleine suffered through a way over two hpur first lap, then he got rollin' and had respectabie times, setting a fast lap on Lap 5 and finished in the seventh position. Robby Fallers ran fairly consistent laps except for Lap 3 and he ended up tak-ing the sixth place finish. Jim Pierce and Gary Wise were fourth on Lap 1, held their own for a few laps.but slipped to fifth place on Lap 4 when they had to change the battery, play with the alternator and suffer through a flat so they ended up in fifth place. Craig Stewart drove the first two laps, Charley Townsend the next two and Mark Weyrich the last lap and this combo had shock and light problems to deal with, yet they ran fifth most of the race and Tom Giordano took the Sportsman Truck Class, shown here with all his lights ablaze. · Tom Brown, Richard Boyle and James Price never completed the first lap. Pat Dean leapt into the lead, turning a very rapi~ 54:04 for the first lap but a faulty trans-mission put him immediately out of the fray. Billy Robertson and his crew ran third on the first lap·, had a horrendously long second lap, then started to settle in to some reasonabfe lap times but they were destined to finish in the second spot, way off the winning pace. The winning Class 1 car, zipping around with nice consistent laps was Stu.art Chase, he drove the first four laps, then had competitor Billy · Billy Robertson had a terribly long second lap which relegated him to a second · Dwaine and Bob Walters gave it the old college try but some troubles held them in place finish in Class 1. _sec_ o_n_d_,_p_la_c_e_in_ C_la_s_s_9_. __________________ _ Pages October 2001 Dusty Times

Frank Puglia had all sorts of troubles on the middle laps and was very happy to grab a third place in 5-1600.

Steve Strobel was a solo runner also, ·he ran fast but had a few prob-lems with some of the larger rocks on the course, but in he came for a nice second place, beating a lot of really good cars. Well, what can one say, Danny Anderson took the lead on the first lap, slowed a tiny bit on Lap 2, then Jeremy Gubler took over and he continued to run fast, consistent laps and that brought them the coveted Class 10 win, first overall and a nice $6,000 check to go with it. Their win-ning margin was a little over 21 minutes. Danny Anderson couldn't remember how many wins this particular car had, but it was quite a few. Steve Strobel got a rock caught in his suspension and played hell getting it cfear There were 19 1600 cars to do and it held him in second place in Class 10.

The Heavy Metal group was next off the line and they too suf-fered from the same non-finish-ing gen es. John Phegley once again failed to complete the first lap, and he was joined by Mike · Doherty. Joe Patelli was an also ran as he only completed one of the five required laps, as did Jim Beaver and Dennis McCarthy, i.:sually these guys are in the run-ning but not this race. Rick Tho-mas ended the first lap in third place, dropped to fourth on a very long third lap and there he remained,. taking the checkers just off the podium. Shawn driver, he had ignition problems early on, a few broken shocks and was kinda relieved to finish seventh. Bobby Altamirano and Jeff Knupp split the driving fought a sticky throttle all night, had a flat and finished the con-test in sixth place. Kenny Free-man drove three laps, son Cody took the last two and although · Kenny had no problems, Cody had a few flats and they ended up in fifth place. My personal fa-vorite, Day Gang was also a solo driver. Day was sixth on the first lap and although she had basi-cally a trouble free run she ran a bit slower than the winning pace and ended the race in fourth place. Bryan Anderson also ran solo, he finished the first lap in third place and some very regu-lar lap times kept him there. He lost most of his lights during the evening but he still managed a podium finish. Bryan Freeman ran a very close race, he was in second place all the way, lost the pumper to his helmet and suf-fered the results, lots of heat and exhaustfon. He stopped fre-quently for water and when the checkered flag fell, he was in a solid second place, a really great finish. So what do you say, Rob MacCachren took the lead on the first lap, held it through Lap 4, set fast lap each lap for those four, turned over to Bruce Fraley late in the fifth and they came home winners, taking the 1600 class win by nine minutes and October 2001 Don Johnson went from fifth to first in 5-1600 and was quite happy to take the win· at the SNORE Midnight. Jesse Jones Chevy led all the way through the night to take first place in the Heavy Metal class at the Midnight. Dusty Times •· I

The laurels go to Jesse Jones who literally flew around the course the first two laps, then he slowed a bit and easily took the first place finish and a nice $2,000 prize. Jesse had four flats to keep him busy and com-mented that the race was "long, dirty and hot" but he'll take the win with joy. There were 17 of the Class 9 specie anxiously awaiting the green flag. They only had to com-plete four laps for a finish but that was a lot to ask for nine of them. Jeremy Evans and Danny Fox were eager to race but they never com-pleted the first lap. The threesome of Mike Clark, Tom Vanderploeg and Brandon Hughes only got in one lap before heading for their respective traiiers. Joe Forte and Ken Thatcher made it better than halfway to the finish before disas-ter struck them and they too were out of it. Jim Neil and Tim Dixon each got three laps under their belts but each suffered an almost four hour lap and they decided to call it quits. Mike Shimp was look-ing for a good evening but prob-lems on the third lap slowed him greatly and he finished in the eighth position. Doug Ingram, who is always a front runner was way off the pace this evening, and a very long third lap relegated him to a seventh place finish. Andy Kisner has won his share of races but after running in second spot for the first two laps he had prob-lems on three, was still off the pace on four and ended up in sixth. Joe Sheble, another multiple winner was also off the pace this evening, with a very long lap on two and he was glad to get it over with, tak-ing fifth in class. The fourth place finishing position went to Clay Lenard who was also off the pace but didn't have any major troubles and was able to get in, just below the bronze medal. Brian Fieger didn't have too bad an evening, he ran solo, had a flat on Lap 1 and had to stop every lap for jury rig repairs but he held on and came in for a nice third place finish in Class 9. Dwaine and Rob Walters split the driving chores, were run-ning a good fast race and holding second spot but they blew a shock and had to spend some time wait-ing for repairs yet they had enough time in hand to maintain their sec-ond place finish, well deserved. Well, what is there to say, it looks like Jere my Harmon is back. He said he had some shifter problems and the tranny was sticking in gear Dusty Times October 2001 Page 11

Makinen took the l~ad after the second section despite hav-ing two flats, alb!'Mt with the mousse working well. He and teammate Freddy Loix were equal on time on this section. Sainz and Delecour both ar-rived at the end of th e section wit h fla t tires a n d broken wheels. M cRae's dream of a fourth successive victory came to an end when he bounced off a bank, then 10 kms from section's end the steering failed and off the road he went. H e got back on the course, fixed the problem but a hundred yards fro m the end it broke again and he went through a hedge. He struggled to the fin-ish but the extreme toe-out caused the clutch to quit. De-lecour, on his first try at the Safari was appalled, "It is crazy fast, it's a matter of luck whether you have a puncture or hit an animal!" Solberg was in trouble, th e rear shocks had failed along with the gear selec-tor. He reverted to manual, stuck in gear and then: the en-gine failed. Loix hit a good sized rock and flattened a tire, fixed it, then the steering broke but he was able to fix the bro-ken link and motor on. Schwarz had two flats and stopped twice to remedy the situation. Roman Kresta re-tired his Octavia after losing a wheel and having his suspen-sion collapse. So, aft!'!r Section 3, Makinen was over two min-utes ahead of Sainz, with Ro-vanpera in. third, Gronholm fourth and McRae in fifth. The day turned black with rain but the speed of the cars was hardly dimin ished. Every section on the first day was won at over 120 kph , including the fourth where Sainz, the fastest, said he drove 10 kms hardly see-ing where he was going. Two Peugeots retired, Auriol went off the road, the car overturned and burned and Granholm had steering failure. Subaru lost a second car wh.en Arai stopped with suspension problems. Loix had a driveshaft failure and his engine was cutting out but still, he made sixth fastest time, al-though h e was four minutes slower th an Sainz. At day's end, Makinen led Sainz by 9 2 sec-onds, with five d ifferent makes in the top five places. In Group N , Marcos Ligato finished the first section with a broken wheel, Blomqvist and Stohl both had to stop to fix flats. Blomqvist had yet an-other flat on the next section and by the end of the leg, the two Argentine drivers, Pozzo and Ligato were first and sec-ond. At this point, all the re-maining cars w ere turbo-charged and four wheel drive! Leg 2 -Five sections, gravel, 417 kms. After the rains, there was a lot of water lying around, even though the region was dry and warm. The race between Makinen a~d Sainz promised a lot but was not to be. Half-way through the first section Sainz came on the radio to re-port his engine had quit, later diagnosed as a camshaft timing belt failure. Mitsubishi imme-diately radioed this news to Tommi and he slowed his pace somewhat. The race was over for another year, now came the endurance struggle to the fin-ish. First to suffer was Freddy Loix, he reported he was carry-ing on with only a few engine cylinders working. Schwarz lost his tranny hydraulic pressure and was having troubles with the handling. Delecour h ad troubles with the lug nut wrench trying to change a tire. Section 6 is the famous spec-tator stage, and how complex it was.

Page 22 \ AT LEFT: Steve Feld had a good day, taking the MC 6 Class win with almost seven minutes in hand. He was leading up to that point. In fact -winner Todd Johnson admitted "Dayton had me beat today, if he hadn't taken that wrong turn ... " Dayton was not a happy camper at the finish. Taking the third spot was Pro rider Eric Brown (XR's Only, Acerbis, Sudco) on his 650 Honda. Eric's race was also interesting - since his crew broke down, and never made it to the scheduled pit stop with Eric's gas. Eric said that he looked around for them for several minutes, and then began searching for fuel from the other race teams. Fortunately, Dawn Johnson (Todd's wife) fueled Eric, and he was on his way. Rounding out the top five were John Conyer (East Side Cycle, Wells Racing) and Ryan McCoskey. A scant 10 minutes separated the top 5 bikes. MCM Pro Master -Bill Williford brought his bike home for a win with a time of 1:58:20. Bill had a trouble free run, but did report scaring himself getting out of shape over one of the road crossings. MCI Pro Expert -Jason Keys led 12 Expert riders to the finish getting it done in just under two hours. Jarrod Bono (Thanks Tamara!) finished sec:oncl, :rncl Pernell Yazzie (Thanks Mom and Dad!) finished in the third spot. Finishing olit the top five were Alan Violette (Town and Country Motorsports) and Ron Cox. Some other notes from the class were that Chris Godfrey raced on a front flat early in the race, and I hope that Damon Gravning is feeling better after some sort of injury. MC2 Intermediate -Ben Hutchinson #229 (MRB Construction) had an outstanding race besting 11 other riders in his class. Ben reported no real problems, other than starting dead last. I'd request that spot next time, Ben. Finishing second about two minute later was Joey J ochen (Arizona Paint Specialists) with Rodney Bell (Premier Motorsports) finishing third. Kevin Eckels (Meyer Dist, Wildskinz) and Ken Hughes, Jr. (Western Honda) completed the top five. MC3 Novice - Paul Williams had a trouble free run - starting in the front line and taking the win in the Novice class. Paul was followed in by Jewell Turner (Petra Contracting) and Lupe Aguayo (Apache Motorsports). MC4 Sport -The largest bike class of the day was the sport class. Kyle Vaughn (Bobs Cycle) had a good race, completing his 100 miles in 2: 12:24. Kyle must have been cookin', because the next finisher in class was nearly 10 minutes back. Hunter West brought it home in October 2001 Arthur Sims was all business in MC 8, he took the win with 17 minutes in hand. The largest class, MC 4 was dominated by Kyle Vaughan (L), here in competition with Butch Garza. Colby Turner was fastest of the ATVs, taking the ATV O class and the overall by 37 minutes.

MC6 Sr. Expert -Steve Feld (East Side Cycl e, O'Neal) made really quick work of the course, getting the win and finishing in just 2:09:41.

Finishing second was Ray Plourde (Tiny's Saloon) Ray had a few words at the finishing, mentioning that he had taken flight over the bars once during the race. MC7 Senior - Mark Fisk led six racer-s to the checkers, finishing in 2:19:48. Ten plus minutes behind Mark was Dan Birchfield Sr. MCB Super Sr. -Four brave guys took on the Rocky Point course -and Arthur Sims (Zmoto) was the quickest. Also completing the tough 100 miles was Bob Cunningham, and Craig Gallan. 1yf C9 First Timer -Only one first' time racer came to try his luck in Mexico, and Carl Putrill came, saw, and finished. Nice job Carl! Overall, the bike guys complained of lots of sand, dust and the heat. More than one rider said that working through the silt was nearly too much to bear in the sweltering heat, and that they were sure glad this race was over. The ATVs didn't find the course much easier, and they brought 34 racers to the Oasis. These guys started 30 minutes behind the bikes, and were really in a hurry to finish. ATVO - Colby Turner (Turner Racing, Western Honda) brought the #69 machine across the line in 2: 10:53 to get a close win in the Pro Open class. Colby was on the gas. Shane Strunk (R.W.

Clint Wolsey won the Pilot class for the umteenth time at Lovelock, Gary Steele led Sportsman Vet for a while but troubles on the last lap dropped him to a long second place. Gary Skipton needed an oil well on his run but in spite of many stops he. still took the second spot in Class 7. but the competition is getting closer. Skipton was also having problems and kept having to stop for oil. Heading into the last lap Clement had a 3:50 lead over Koenig/Rob-inson and a 12:06 lead over Skipton. Clement broke half way through the last lap allowing Koenig/Robinson to go on to the win. Skip-ton finished second, 31:42 back and Clement third, 42:02 out of the lead. Frank Pelko (53) took his Baja Bug to the early lead in the Novice class. The mar-gin after one lap was just 1 :33 over Al Cartlidge (02). By the second lap Cartlidge had gotten around Pelko and stretched his lead to 8: 14 and then to 14:59 by the end of the race. The vic-tory was costly though as the fan had filled with debris and the motor was cooked at the finish line. In the Pilot class Clint Wolsey (7x) pulled off a win with a 4: 20 victory over Mark Christenson (37). Christenson had drive belt failure in his car that may have cost him the win. The Sturgeons Casino posted $1000.00 to the overall winners. They were Todd Denton, 4: 13: 13 for $500.00, Sam Berri, 4:20: 11 for $250.00, Chris Gray, 4:31:44 for $150.00 and Ron Foster, 4:38: 17 for $100.00. The casino also put up another $1000.00 for first out of the money and a random drawing. The winners were: Sam Berri in Class 1 for $200.00, Rich-ard and Ryan Lesher in Class 10 for $200.00, Dudley Tranum in Class 8 for $200.00, Gary Skipton in Class 7 for $100.00, and Roscoe Cook in Veteran for $100.00. The winner of the $200.00 random drawing was Mark Christenson. Note: The winners had to be present to win so Dudley Tranum and Roscoe Cook were the benefici.aries of the driver that wasn't at the awards. For the last of the cash prizes to be handed out two anonymous donors have given a combined total of $100.00 to the fast lap in each class. The winners and their times are: Class 1 Todd Denton (59:33), Class 10 Sam Berri ( 1 :04:09), Class 8 Dudley Tranum ( 1 :04:33), Veteran Tom Kruse (1:09:28), Veteran 8 Dan Morose (1: 26: 2 2), Class 7 Mike Koenig (1:16:11), Novice Frank Pelko ( l: 18:33) ad in the Dusty Times Pilots, Clint Wolsey a day's drive racing the two (1:14:53).

lead with Flores and Satoh chasing and Pangelinan in fourth. Flores' nephew, Patrick, was driving a 20 year old Chenowth with an Oldsmobile Quad IV motor, about 2.3 liters, with more or less VW suspension, and short course size tires, but by now it was sounding sick. What he hadn't yet realized was that he'd bottomed out on. the bumps, cracked the case, and was hemorrhaging oil. Another couple laps looked the same, and then, on the last lap, George Flores disappeared. It turned out a tie rod had pulled out of a spindle and his car was aimed ·to the right perma-nently. Hard to steer that way Simpson went on to take the win, with Pangelinan sec-ond and Masakazu Amauchi, in a buggy powered by a 1600cc Toyota, in third place after passing Satoh on the seventh lap. Their ten min-utes plus a lap also worked out to eight laps total. . Now it was time for wash-ing the cars, making some quick repairs and getting ready for the second heat. There was a significant break, because the bikes and quads ran their second heats in the meantime, and most of the car and truck people had time enough to get things ready. · By about 5 p.m. it was time for the second Protruck heat, and this time the first start order was reversed. Rick Johnson got the hole shot in his Ford, with Ragland run-ning second and Gary Magness third in his Ford and Shepard fourth, with Tony Licitra working on his rear butnper. Koch spun out, but recovered well. Licitra had his daughter, Tony Marie, riding with him for the first time. Cobb lost a rear brake line in the start crunch and thought about pulling out. On the second lap Johnson pulled out a. good lead with Ragland, Magness and Shepard still chasing. At the back, Dugan had a front flat, and Cobb was straggling along with his sick motor. On the third lap Johnson and Ragland had the front .to themselves, but Magness, Shepard and Koch had a three way struggle going for third place. Magness held on to it. By the end of the fourth Beautiful Tumon Bay, on the east side of Guam, is ringed by a pristine beach and a host of luxury hotels.

No per-. manent damage done. By the time the buggies started their second heat, at about 6: 10, the course was very soggy. Most of them packed shop rags and towels into the cockpit, because they knew they'd run out of tear-offs. Pangelinan's Mini Mag acted up before getting into staging, but they seemed to solve the problem, and he was there for the green flag. Hanawa got a big jump on everyone, but very shortly, Simpson and Hachiki Nobu, in a 1600cc VW powered Chenowth, got by him. How they could see was a mystery. A car that hadn't been there in time for the first heat, a Funco Hustler with a 1600cc Toyota in it, driven by Rob-· ert San Augustin, was disap-pointingly out right away with a broken c.v.

By Lap 11 Shepard had lapped Licitra and he made an obstacle for Johnson for a while, but by Lap 15 he'd gone by and was in sight of Shepard again. Koch had come back out on Lap 11 to add to the fun, and Dugan got right up next to Magness on Lap 15, then passed him on the next lap. Part of the fun was that none of the drivers kn~w when the race would end. It was loosely called a "half h o u r" r ace, and was appar-ently a h alf-hour-plus-a-lap, but since it was all new to ev-eryone, no-one knew for sure when the white flag would fly, so they couldn' t hold back; they had to push hard the whole time just in case the next lap was the final one. On the 18th lap Johnson was very close up on Shepard, and Cobb was still third, with Ragland a distant fourth. When they threw the white flag at the end of the 19th lap Johnson was right there, and as they rounded the coconut palms, Shepard lost it a bit, spun about three quarters around and Johnson plowed right into him. They were stuck together for a few feet, and as they tore apart, Johnson took the lead.

MOJAVE DESERT RACING, INC. California 200 By Sheryl Cannon Photos Trackside Photo . Shawn Mccallum ticked off five even laps with his unlimited car, to take the overall win by seven minutes. MD R's only night race of the season figured to be double tough on co·mpeti-tors trying to make their way through the darkened desert. Nobody, however, could have anticipated the nightmare conditions that enveloped Lucerne Valley on the eve of August 25, 2001. The consensus was that the dust was the abso-fute worst ever. During the two laps I rode with Stacy and Kathy Fay, visibility seemed 'to range between being blindfolded and driv-ing with a sunshade in your windshield. Other than slowing down, there wasn't much. anyone could do about it. Wayne Nosala, who upon completion stated he was "glad it was only 200 miles", echoed the sentiments of most partici-p'ants. On the bright side, a rather remarkable 79% (65 of 82) of the race's starters went the distance. And with seven of those finishers av-eraging over 50 mph, it's pretty clear not everyone was tiptoeing through the dust. Four members of the 50+ club came courtesy of Class 100. Keith Cunning-ham certainly did that divi-sion proud, when he posted the field's fastest lap of the day/nigJ.H (41.58) on his opening loop. Cunningham continued to show the way into Lap 3, at which point classmate Shawn McCallum took over. McCallum never really shook loose from Cunningham, but he main-tained a safe advantage all the way to the checkered flag. This year's California Operation Clean Desert II OCD II is a Page 42 Ouael Center Exit Coalition of off-Road Desert Racers Event.

October ~001 Harley Letner and Kory Halopoff had fast lap in Class 10 at 46:51 and then went on to take the win. 200 Champion literally flew through five laps of dust and darkness in 3:57:57 (54.2 mph). His margin of victory over Cunningham, the Class 100 and overall race runner-up, was just a shade over seven minutes. "It was very, very, very dusty," said McCallum. The evening's big winner re-ported encountering only minor trouble. "We broke the center out of one of the rear wheels, we just drove it hard," he said. Cunning-ham, who seemed happy just to finish, explained by. "Aftet 20 miles, we flipped on the lights and they all blew up, so we had no lights to run in the dust" said Cunningham. "We also lost power steering after 149 (McCallum) tapped us," he added, making Cunningham's ultra-swift 4:04:58 clocking (52. 7 mph) aH the more impres-sive. Troy Pomeroy was credited with a third place finish in Class 100 and overall scoring. Wayne Nos ala completed Pomeroy's superb 4: 10: 13 (51.6 mph) effort. "It was definitely dusty, but it was a good track and a lot of fun," said Nosala. Accord-ing to Nosala, one of the reasons the team is having such a good year is tires. "This is the fourth race in ·a ro_w where we've run Goodyear tires and we have yet to get ·a flat," he said. Richard Boyle wound up three minutes and 45 sec-onds in arrears, to earn fourth in Class 100 and sixth overall. With one race remaining, Boyle, who aver-aged 50.8 mph, trails Pom-eroy by just seven points. Rick Romans (fifth) and Andrew Gaston (fifth) com-pleted the order of Class 100 finishers. Romans' 4:22:31 clocking was an hour better than Gaston's, and earned him eighth place in overall scoring. In Class 1000 action, Kory Halopoff posted fast lap time on Lap 1 (46:51) and he and teammate Harley Letner never looked back. The richly talented duo secured Dwaine Walters had a 56:54· minute lap with his Class 9 car, arid then four more · fo rmine. Tom Bo/ha lost about 19 minutes on the fourth lap, but still ran well enough to win in the 5-1600 class by four minutes. • Dusty Times

EL PREZ SEZ (Ain't No Wah.zoo) Well, over the last couple of columns I have written about the membership and its comradeship. I think these issues were . brought to mind when my dog Savanna was hit and killed at one of our meetings. It was an emotional situation and as I looked back on that eve·ning what stood out in my mind, is how my friends, my fellow Checkers responded. It was clear to me what a fine group of meri this club is comprised of. The Checkers handle so many situations with that same expertise and compassion that it's clearly no surprise that · they, as a team are # l. The Checkers are always prepared to deal with anything and -everything. Versatility, determination and perseverance are good words to associate with the membership of this dub. We all hail from· so many different backgrounds and careers yet strive to achieve the same goal; which is to remain # l. It doesn't stop with our desert: racing, it carried on in all we do. I hear and see this determination constantly. As an example, I was listen1ng to Checker member Doug Brown describe how he had just become the National IJSBA Off Shore Racing Champion in the Veteran class by scoring a third overall at the Long Beach 2 Catalina and Back Gran Prix race. Attitude is what took this member from retirement to the National title. He raced against several factory riders, some with superior equipment. He was facing 3' to 4' swells and kept smacking his chin guard on the bars when as he said, "I just shook my head, laid down like a half-miler and jammed on to the queens gate". It's this winning attitude that .is displayed by all our drivers and pitters. It's also what gave Doug the win over boats that were capable of going five to seven mph faster. Congratulations on your victory Doug. We had four cars entered in the MDR California 200 night race. They were: club president George-Seeley; club website guru Jimmy Tucker running wi_th Richard· Boyle; Class 1600 points leaders Brian and Scott Steele and one of our newest members, Mike Norris. This nighttime adventure started at 7:00 p.m. and was well covered by our two outlying pits and the Reverend Roy's NASA main pit. It was fully equipped with misters, sp.ace exploration equipment and fans to keep the dust away. Roy had enough crew on hand to cover anything. There to lend a hand was the head of Aetonautics, Peter Rosenstein, also Reese King, Bob Wright, Fred Nelson, Todd Means, William Berumen, Roger Byrd, Bob Jordan, John Murphy and Jammin Jimmy Hook.

This group, captained by Ty Goode, included Jake (Maddog) Smith, Big Dave Shell and new prospective member Steve Scott with his wife Jenny. With all this help on hand we were able to finish three of our four cars by race end.

I can say that Joy and I ripped on the roller coaster and that we did miss the presence of the Rev. at the main pit. He was busy showing his anti,que fire truck at the Route 66 Rendezvous. We had two cars run at the B.I.T.D. Vegas to Reno race, which I will also report next month, plus two at the MORE race in Barstow on the same day as the Primm race. Last year we had pit studs like Chilldress and Maddog handling both races. Speaking of Mike, it seems he was getting "SLIDEWAYS" at the Speed Zone meeting and had to stand in the corner.

Marq Prince was voted in as a prospective hoping to carry on the Candy Cane racing tradition with the Checkers in Mexico. The Baja races just wouldn't be the same without them. By the way Marq, where's the music? Race promoter Jim Clements and his partner Sid attended our meeting on the 26th and reminded us that MORE is MORE. We have been suppo_rting Jim's races lately and had two entries at the Barstow race on the 15th. He can expect to see MORE of us in the future. I like the new class timing records idea that would be recorded by the SCT A. There is talk of holding our summer party next year at the July Freedom 250. Jim and Sid were given a big Checker welcome. As always, anyone is welcome to join us anytime especially promoters. The "Ridgecrest Rocket", Tom Koch, took his new Pro Truck on an adventure to Guam last month . Apparently he was pressing the competition to the limits when a rollover gave them a chance to catch up. I think, once he's fully dialed in Koch's going to be a hard one to catch. Well done Tom. We look forward to pitting this new truck to a victory soon! Don't forget the Off Road Expo is this month. We hope to see everyone stop by our booth to say "HELLO" and check out the Banshee on it's custom trailer and our 28 years of Checker history that we will have on display.

After the first lap, -we started to do corrected time calculations, Mike Malley was running within two minutes of Brad all night, so -we were on the radio keeping the pressure on Brad to continue the pace. Brad ran pretty much trouble free all night. He stopped at CORE Main on Lap 3 -for a splash of gas and a quick lighting adjustment, then we sent him on his way to the 1600 win. (Four shims from the overall.) Brad also set fast lap time for the day. . CORE MAIN Myself-Wayne Nosala, Randy and Nigel Jones, Tom Foudy and crew. We ate a lot of dust.

I can't tell you how proud I am of our members and their willingness to help the new folks and welcome them to the club. The CRS Stock class is alive and really October 2001 kicking. There were 12 cars entered in the Stock class. The new CRS GT class was well attended as well with five entries. Chr_is Burns and Bradney Boll w e r e the Stock class winners in the Mitsubishi Eclipse. The GT winners were Keith Roper and Ken Cassidy in the Galant VR4. Keith just keeps getting faster and faster as does Chris Burns. Keith and Ken finished third overall and Chris and Bradney· finished fifth overall -not bad. Jorge Sousa found a stage that didn't like him and rolled his RX?. Jay Streets and Bill Feyling sat on a berm for a while. Ralph Kosamides brought his Subaru to Gorman and had problems .. It was seen sitting on the side of the road early in the rally and q.id not ffnish. Don Shreyer learned about the woes of car ownership and toasted his R X 7 's motor. Roger Hull had a good run in his Talon finishing sixt h overall. Dave Turner a n d Mike McComas took time out from t h e ir off road racing to run in Dave's Jeep C h e rokee. They turned in some biazing times and finished fourth overall. Bruce Brown and Bob Moe stole last place from Tony Chavez and Doug Robinson by checking out a tree close up and personal on the last stage of the rally. Tony and Doug took time out from their National e·ffort in the Production class ·to come run Gorman in the CRS Stock class . . They both agreed CRS rallying is way more fun than the Nationals. Lon Peterson and Aaron Lang finished seventh in Aaron's Toyota Celica. T his was fun to watch as Aaron got to ride with one of the really fast drivers in C RS. Aaron and his dad, T om, have b e e n seen w orking on John Moore's race team. Julius Vasari has really stepped u p h is r allying. I saw him running rally cro.sse s in h is Eclipse and now he is finishing top ten at stage r allies. He and Stuart Gaber took home eighth overall. Ricky De La Cuesta and Ricky Mediola along with Bob Pendergrass and Jon Weigley finished out the top ten. Newcomers to the CRS, Mike and Linda Masano, bought Mark Brown's F X16 a n d tried their hand at rallying. MiJ.<.e has raced go-carts and motorcycles in the past. From the grins o n their faces as they picked up Stock class trophies o n Sunday , I think they a r e hooked! A couple of new pickup trucks s h owed up at Gorma n . Jim Pierce and Shane Sims ran their Ford Ranger and Jason Schmidt and .John Stump ran Chevy S-10. They both finished and hope to return soon. A regular with CRS who also drives a pickup was Terry Stonecipher with Jeff Bruet navigating. They finished 11th overall. Doug Whited had a pretty good run in his great looking red VW. Richard Byford and Fran. Olson ran a good rally in their BMWs did Patrick Rodi and Jonathan Schiller in h is RX? and Nick Korpa l and Eric Schleicher in his Mazda 3 23. Scott and T amara Clark brought their Subaru · through in good shape and had ·a great time. S ean Otto and Dean Nichols came down frotn t h e Bay Area and to r u n with us. Sean was our Rookie Driver of the Year "last in 2000. New rally competitor Gabe Pari found Wayne Cu nningh.am to co-drive for him and finished in the N is sail Sentr::i. Gabe has put together: 'Also new to CRS were Tim Sardelich and Margo Lonoya who finished this rally. A familiar co-driver face, Flynn Baglin, was driving this weekend with Stacey Hochanadel in the co-driver seat. The same for Steve Jasik, who has co-driven in the past, drove his VW with Mark Book in the right seat. Thanks to Dusty Times, we can use this column to keep our members up to date on the "American J eepspeed Challenge" suppor t network. Firstly, a big thank you t o Tom a n d Mike B arnet and friends from Dusty Times

Page 49

T&J 4x4 in Orange, CA for setting up our pit row system at our first two events with MDR. The snow fence idea with NASCAR style pitting with all the Jeepspeed cars has worked real well. Also, thanks for setting up the radio table to keep all contestants and friends informed of their love d ones whereabouts and the blow by blow action. All drivers please remember. to transmit on the Jeepspeed frequency of 157.820 at every checkpoint, but go to another channel when you order lunch or three spare tires. For those reading abut Jeepspeed for the first time, we have had two successful races so far with MDR for our street legal Desert Race Jeep Cherokees. With six entered at the Ridgecrest race and 10 at Lucerne, the class is expanding rapidly. We know of about 10 more Cherokees under construction so our last race · a t Barstow on November 3rd should be even better. In 2002 there will be a six race· series. Competitors' points will be awarded for their best five finishes so they can drop one event without hurting their · total points. Patricia Williams and Mojave Desert Racing have done a fantastic job with the American J eepspeed Challenge and we sincerely thank them for their efforts. On August 24th, a Press Day Ride and Drive was held in Lucerne at Bessemer Mine Road. There were journalists on hand from all the major monthly glossy magazines, so look out for their J eepspeed impressions in future issues (October through December). We had five competitors on hand with their Jeeps and they deserve a big thank you for volunteering their time and their equipment. Congratulations to Dave Turner, who, at the time of this writing is in second place in the California Rally Series, his Jee p speed Cherokee runs in the 4WD Open class. In the 2001 Jeepspeed Cherokee, Barrie Thompson leads in points with two second place finishes, rookie Ryan Wallace is second with one win and a fifth place. Billy Bunch is third with his Kartek 400 win. The championship is w ide open if any of these guys dnf on November 3rd. Remember, we have over $4,500 up for grabs at the last race. $3,000 in championship cash, $1,500 in event cash, thanks to American Racing Wheels, plus contingency prizes from BFGoodrich, Howe Performance Steering and all the MDR supporters. Howe Performance Steering has just announced their Rookie of the Year award for 2001 and 2002. Thank you, Jeff Howe. If anyone wants to help at the races, contact Mike Barnet at (714) 633-0991.
