Trail -Notes ... LAS VEGAS SAND & OFFROAD SHOW -The show was held June 16-17 at the cavernous Cashman Center and was a mighty success. More than 80 companies were on hand to · promote their products and there were multitudes of people looking at the vast display of items. Attendance was high and the show was considered to be a great success for both the exhibitors and the public at large. Stay tuned to Dusty Times for the next show dates. OTRUCK HEADS TO GUAM - Ivan Stewart and his rotruck group are heading across the Pacific to run the rotruck Challenge at the new Guam Motor Raceway Park. August 4-5, 2001 are the race dates and it should be a great race and a memorable occasion. Nine Protruck teams are shipping their equipment over there for the race, including Larry Ra~land, Tom Koch, Rick Johnson and many more. This is the 20th -.' Miller Lite Smokin' Wheels" event and there will be Class 1 and 1600 buggies, Motorcycles, quads and much, much more. Ace reporter Judy Smith will be winging her way to the event and it'll all be here in Dusty Times next month. _ · FNAL FLAG - We were terribly sorry to learn of the death of Bob Larson, long time aide to Fud, helping to layout and mark race courses and he was also the chief timer and scorer at Fud's races. Bob had been active with Fud since 1980 and he and wife Vickie made sense out of all the lap times and kept everyone straight. Bob was only 52 years of age and succumbed to a heart attack. He will be sorely missed by all who knew and loved him. ROBBY GORDON - Saw Robby interviewed on.NASCAR tonight outside the garage and they, the ESPN types were asking Robby about him possibly having a new job next year with the Richard Childress team. Although most of Robby's friends from the off road world would love to see him in a good ride, Robby said "I haven't heard anything along those lines. Finishing 25th at Louden wasn't the greatest so we have to start finishing further up the ladder." We here at Dusty Times hope something good comes along for Robby real soon. RED FACE DEPARTMENT - We apologize to Roger Allison and Ray Hacke_r, ~ead honchos of the Ameri~an Rally_ Sport Group for om1ttmg them from the Happenmgs section of Dusty Times. Their four day event out of Laughlin and into the Grand Canyon area is one of the best in the west and we suggest you get hold of them and get ready for some heavy rallying in mid-December. See the listing for American Rally Sport Group in Happenings for phone numbers and dates. 0 1600 - Latest Pro 1600 news· flash - If you are racing a 1/ -1600 and you are interested in racing against some serious ompetition for some very serious money during the 2002 racing season, you had better call the Pro 1600 series honchos and get signed up. Their three race series paybacks will rival the Mint 400 payouts. There are more than 40 cars already in the membership and they are looking for you. Call Scott Steele at 661'-268-1557 or Rick Boyer at 661-589-5872 or Joe Giffin at 714-632-1240 or check them out at www.Prol600.com ADELANTO GRAN PRIX - Best In The Desert Racing Association, aka Casey Folks has joined forces with the Desert Vipers for the upcoming 2002 Adelanto Gran Prix. The Gran Prix will be sanctioned by BITD next year. The event is open to all motorcycle and quad riders and usually attracts many hundreds of riders from all over the country.

S CCA MAINE FOREST RALLY · They all came back to Rumford, Maine another time for the SCCA Rally and it was a good one! The stages were fast bur they were also very dusty and there was some very close competition. Seamus Burke took the Open win in his Mitsubishi Lancer EvoVI as well as the overall. He narrowly beat Paul Choiniere (Hyundai) and Mark Lovell (Subaru). Ramana Lagemann won the FIA-N Category, Patrick Richard took the Production GT win and Jean Sebastien Besner was the Group N winner. Brian Hourt took the Group 5 honors and Chris Havas was the Group 2 .winner and Guy Anderson won the Production category. Hopefully we'll have a complete rundown with pictures in next months Dusty Times. . CORR FORT DODGE - They finally got in the rained out round #2 at Fe-rt Dodge as well as rounds 9 and 10. In a nutshell, Pro-4 saw Rob MacCachren take round three but he posted his worst rounds of the season with a 4th and a 7th. John Greaves won Round 9 and Scott Douglas took Round 10. In Pro-2, Evan Evans took the Round 2 win while Scott Taylor was the winner in the ensuing rounds. In Pro-Lite, Rick Huseman took the second round and Round 9 while Jeff Kincaid was the Round 10 winner. In Super Buggy it was a definite sweep as Scott Schwalbe took all three rounds and Scott has a horrendous points lead in that class. In the Single Buggy Class, Mark Steinhardt took the Round in~ as well as Rounds 9 and 10 for a really great sweep. In the Light Buggy Class, the Andrews/Bowen duo took Round 2, Ben O 'Connell was the Round 9 winner and Hintz/Mathews took Round 10.

l . I BEST IN THE DESERT TONOPAH 300 weyhrich Brothers Take It All By Judy Smith Photos: Trackside Photo Greg Foutz had a perfect day in his Ford, avoiding flats all the way. and took the win in the Pure Stock Full-size Truck class. He was ninth in the overall standings Mark and Gary Weyhrich put together a good effort and ended the day with the overall win at the BITD Tonopah 300 in their Chev-rolet powered Chenowth. The Best in the Desert folks reworked ~he course for this year, turning it around to travel in a counterclockwise direction out of Tonopah, and introducing about 100 miles of brand new terrain. Some pf the new stuff was very narrow and winding, slowing the bigger vehicles considerably. The motorcycles were quicker on this course, with Steve Hengeveld and Jonah Street taking the absolute overall win, in a time of five hours and 10 minutes, a full 50 minutes in front of the Weyhrich; team af-ter only 287 miles. There was also a lot of dust, which sometimes was blown off the course by the pre-vailing breezes, and there were rocks to get the tires. The BITD decided to forego the dreaded "impound" on Friday, and let the racers sort themselves out in the morning in the pre-stag-ing area. They'd been concerned that if cars came in from all direc-tions they wouldn't be able to stage properly. But there was no . problem, the cars lined up neatly and in proper order and the start went off as scheduled. The Trick Trucks, or unlimited trucks, were first off the line, and· there were only three of them this time. Darnen Jefferies had his Ford. powered Porter built car, ancf Lonny Helmbolt was in his Dodge, with Jason Baldwin driving his Ford. Jefferies had six minutes on the other two by the time they'd gone 64 miles, and his lead grew to nine minutes at Check B, about 122 mi.Jes along the way.

But then Job and Scheeler disappeared also and left the Weyhrich team all by them-selves for the final section. They said they "backed way off", and re-ported no flat tires all day. Their impression of the course was that it was "mostly smooth, with some rocky areas." Said Gary, "I tip-toed through there." Kyle Taylor once attain took the Class 8000 honors in his Chevrolet truck, this time finishing second overall also, in a time of 6:06:25. · Dave Westhem and Randy Salmont paired up in Westhem's Chevrolet to finish second in Class 8000, third overall, just three minutes behind Taylor. The Class 8000 trucks were the third group to take off into the Nevada desert, and there were eight of them. Bruce Greer and Eric Pavolka didn't manage to get their Dodge to Check A. Keith Clugage and Joe Knapp, whose Ford let them. down early in the day, were also out before there. But in the group that was still go-ing, the competition was hot and heavy. Kyle Taylor had his Chevy on the same minute as Keith Fontana's Chevy, and they were only a minute up on Randy Salmont in Dave Westhem's Chevy. Taylor had already changed a flat. The rest of the pack ran about two to 11 minutes further back. Damen Jefferies fought some "new car" problems with his Ford Trick Truck, but still won the class in the trucks third race. Pages_ Lonny Helmbolt had a "little tranny problem" with his Dodge, but hung in there to finish second in the Trick Truck class. September 2001 Through Check B it was Fon-tana, but he had only a minute on Taylor, who was only another minute ahead of Salmont. Eric Lane was now fourth, four min-utes later, in his Ford, and Michael Ortiz, of Columbus, Montana, ran fifth in his Ford, with Dudley Tranum and Rick Tucker, in their Dusty Times

r Jeep, sixth, only 18 minutes be-hind the first truck. So it was still a very close race. Taylor had a clear lead by Mile 155, with two minutes on Salmont, who was three minutes up on Fontana. But in the next section things changed. It was still Taylor, now with nine minutes on Westhem, who'd taken over for Salmont and promptly had a flat tire. But Lane had moved into third place, about 15 minutes back as Fontana lost about four hours with some disaster. Taylor liked the way his truck was working, and he thought the course was "fast and rough", while the new section was narrow, with-out berms and a little hard to pick his way through. He had widened his lead to five minutes at Mile 268, and it was still Westhem in second place and Lane in third. Tranum, who was fourth, had lost a bunch of time with a battery problem that got him stuck in the "switchback". He'd finally been given a n'ew battery by a small truck, and got going again, but was three hours off the lead pace. Taylor had a total of three flats for the day, but moved fast in be-tween them, and took the Class 8000 win by a little over four min-utes. He was also second in the overall standings. Westhem and Salmont were second, Dave saying "I feel like Kyle Taylor's brides-maid!" Lane; who drove all the way, was third, finishing on a rear flat, another 35 minutes back. Ortiz, whose truck ran hot all day, reported no flats. This was the third time out for the truck, and he was pleased with the fourth Dusty Times Rob Reinertson and Rick Johnson took over the Protruck lead about halfway through the race, and then stayed in front to win by two minutes in their Ford. place.

Unfortunately, it didn't even get to Check A, so we didn't get to see how it would do. Gary Wise, in a more conventional Chen-owth, went into the lead, and had an hour and a half on brothers Kevin and Gary Moore, in a Loth-ringer. They'd lost a coil early in the day, and must have had to wait for a spare to arrive. At successive checkpoints Wise was in front, even though he had an alternator problem fairly early in the day. The Moores also had "some flats and things", but no problems after Mile 100. They thought the course was "such a fun course -way better'n last year!" Wise also had a couple of flats, and his exhaust fell off, so the noise was closer to him and deaf-ening. Also, somewhere along the line he developed some kind of weird short that made it impos-sible to shut the car off. By the time he got to the finish line, as the winner, he was deaf and ready to shut it off, not caring by then if it ever· started again. He got the win by an hour and 40 minutes, finishing 18th in the overall stand-ings. The Moores made it back for Eric Williams and Kevin Graves brought their 1600cc Jimco up to the Nevada mining country, and got a win, finishing 19th in the overall standings while they were at it. Marc Winocur and Dave Turner shared the driving in their Class 3100 (Sma/1-SUVs) Ford, finished the day in front, still in as good shape as when they started second place. . Class 7 Unlimited, the 7200s, were next off the line, with 11 starters, every one of them a Ford. Three of them, belonging to the Missouri team of Michael Kelly and Robert Halbman, the Arizona team of Kelly and John McNeil and the Las .Vegas team of Cody Kruger and Kevin Chomcey failed to get to Check A. But the rest went on in a tight clump, except for a couple of them. Bill Manfroy had already lost almost two hours and Shawn and David Wanzek were down about two hours and 20 minutes. Gary Dircks was lead-ing, with three minutes on Rick Taylor, who was another minute ahead of Craig Turner, and then came Tim Carroll, about nine minutes further back. Jason Jernigan, with his new truck, ran fifth, another couple of minutes back. But when they got to Check B Mike Falkosky had an eventful day in his Class 3100 Ford Explorer, including serious tie rod troubles, but eventually went home with a second place.

Rod Hall and Roy Davidson teamed in the GM Hummer to finish second in Class 4100, despite some hard to diagnose early problems. Rick Long, Jr. and Tim Cecil took turns driving their Class 7100 (same as SCORE 7S) Ford to the win, enjoying a problem free day. starting and deliver it to him on course. But once he got the Hum-mer repaired Hall couldn't get it Tie-Downs Headrest Pad Page 12 started and somehow pumped the crankcase full of diesel fuel.

Esquerra was gone. Spirkoff was having flat tires and Hogan broke tie rod ends a couple of times. But Foutz was having no prob-lems and to his amazement the trick of hitting the rocks square on was working. He said that each time he did it he expected the tire to go flat, but they never did. At Check D he was 18 minutes in front of Spirkoff, who had one minute on Hogan. Beaver's co-driver, Randy Merritt was now two hours behind the leader, and running without brakes. Hall was another hour-plus behind them. At Check F Foutz had 40 min-utes. Hogan had run out of engine oil, but got that corrected, and was still second. Spirkoff had problems with "bolts on an axle plate -twice", and that contributed to a bent front end which occurred when he hit a turn in the middle of a dip. By now he was running with only one rear axle. Foutz ran on serenely to take the win by 50 minutes. His passenger, Steve Wheeler, said he "had his head on all day today - he was out-standing." By this he meant that he, Wheeler, didn't have to get out of the truck to fix broken parts even one time. Hogan was second, fin-ishing on a broken ball joint. And Spirkoff was third, another 20 min-utes back, limping in all bent and crooked, and saying, "It wasn't day to race." Beaver and Merritt were fourth about another hour and a half later, and followed in by Hall, an hour and a half later, in fifth . place. There were only two buggies in Class 1100 -which is for the BITD version of SCORE Lite. for VW powered and VW type suspended cars of limited engine size. One of them, the Venier Built car driven by Lyn Venier, went off the start line with that telltale noise that indicates that the throw-out bear-ing has given up. Her crew was on the radio, telling the chase folks to get a replacement up to Pit 1, whid1 wa~ abuut 40 miles into the race. But she didn't make it. The other car was an old single seater that had been sitting in someone's garage for a long time. William Minteer, the driver-of-record, was so new to off road rac-ing that he didn't know what class he was running in. All he knew was that t was an 1835cc VW motor. Good enough. That's probably all he needed to know. He hadn't pre-run -didn't know about the BITD guided pre-runs, and he'd never raced off road at all, though he was a roundy-round racer in the past. He had all the right competitive in-stincts. He was 65 years old and said he!d been asked if he'd be able to do it (the race) and told his questioner, "I won't know until I try, will I?" Minteer decided to have a co-driver, and put 19 year old Brent Slobe, another off road rookie, into the driver's seat for about half the distance, a chunk taken out of the middle of the race. They lost a clutch, lost the front skid plate, had five flat tires, and both declared the experience as "awesome!". They had no mo-tor problems at all, and declared they would be back to do it again. They got a win their first time out, finishing in nine hours and 56 minutes. Good job guys! In the 1600cc buggies only one showed up. To the disappoint-ment of Eric Williams and Kevin Graves, they did not get to renew the duct they'd enjoyed at the Pah-Dusty Times

Wil-liams and Graves had no problems with their Jimco two seater. Graves described his part of the trip as "like a Sunday drive", and Will-iams said his was "flawless". They reported no flat tires, saying this was the ninth race with no flats. (They must have understood about hitting the rocks squarely.) They finished in a time of 7: 15:57, 19th in the overall standings, with their 1600cc motor. Class 7100 went next. These are the more-or-less stock small trucks (equivalent to 7S in SCORE's rule book). There were 10 of them; nine Fords and a Jeep. All of these guys made it through Check A, and the lead belonged to Mike Coleman and Tim Lawrence in their Ford. In second place, and only a minute later, it was Ricky Long, Jr. and Tim Cecil, another Ford. Running third was Joe Custer, his Ford another three minutes back, and followed by Tim Braden and Mitch Griffin in yet another Ford. In. fifth it was John Baker, one minute further back. Jim Gilchrist, driving Mal-colm Vinje's Ford, lost his power steering, changed all the belts, and then the new belts broke. He then changed the alternator and all the belts again and lost a bit over an hour. Wayne DeMonja, who hasn't raced for about 11 years, lost about 40 minutes in the early going, and both Kevin Davis and J.C. Andrews lost nearly an hour and a half. Miguel Alvarado was running fifth in the lone Jeep. At Check B Long was still in the lead, by just two minutes. Custer was still third, Braden fourth and Alvarado fifth. An-drews didn't ever get there. They switched positions a bit by Check C, where Long still led, now 10 minutes in front of Custer, who'd had a flat and twisted his kneed painfully while changing the tire. Coleman was now third. Alvara-do was fourth and Baker moved up to fifth. Braden was having trouble with all his alternator and plug wires falling off. Between C and D both the Al-varado Jeep and Coleman's Ford gave up the ghost. Long handed over to Tim Cecil and they now had a 'lead of 21 minutes. Braden and co-driver Mitch Griffin were third, with John Baker just eight minutes behind them. And Mal-colm Vinje, who was now driving, was fifth. . Steve O1/iges drove all the way (Rob MacCachren had official leave to race in Wisconsin) and got the victory in Class 730.0 -the Pure Stock Mini Truck class. Gary Wise soloed his Class 1 O Chenowth to a win, even though he had all kinds of problems along the way. He was 18th in the overall standings. Dusty Times Craig Turner celebrated his 10th wedding anniversary by getting the victory in Class 7200 (unlimited small trucks) with his wife, Shelly, riding in the passenger seat. Cecil was having no problems, not even flats, and at Check E he had 34 minutes. Custer's co-driver, Gene Haas, was second, with Griffin third, and he' cl had a couple flats. Baker and his co-driver, Greg Warren had a day full of troubles, including a broken wheel, which took out a brake early in the day. They were also overheating, and then a similar problem at the Pahrump race, and thought they had solved the mounting question. They were fo1=1rth and Vinje, still fifth. The only other car still running was Davis, about another 40 minutes back. Cecil and Long had a trouble free day, and went on to take the win, finishing 36 minutes in front of second place. Custer and Haas were second, saying they liked the curse "a lot", and Braden and Grif-fin were third, about 21 minutes behind them. In fourth it was Baker and Warren, followed in by Gilchrist and Vinje, and then. Davis was tale-end-charlie, Sixth, with a time of 9:54:39 after his long repair job early in the day. The full size SUVs started next, with four Fords and one Bummer. Marc Stein had his Expedition in front at Check A, with just one minute on Jon Sunderland in his Bronco. Rodney Hall was third in his Hummer, about 33 minutes later and then came Matt Scaroni in his diesel Excursion, another five minutes out after a rear flat took out a brake. In fifth it was Ken Leavitt, another 20 minutes back in his Ford. Stem and Sunderland were hav-. ing a good race, and at Check B Stein still had only a minute on Sunderland. Hall was still · third, about a half hour back. Scaroni was next, then Leavitt. At Check C things had changed. Stein still led, but now Hall was second, 36 minutes back and Scaroni had moved up to third. Sunderland lost over an hour when a rear shock broke and had to be welded, and then welded again, and now ran fourth, while Leavitt was al-most another hour in back of him. At Check D, when Stein's co-driver, Mike McComas, had taken over, their lead was still about a half hour and it was still Hall's Hummer in second place with Roy Davidson at the wheel now. Scaroni's co-driver, Tom Watson, was now third, with Sunderland about a half hour further back. Leavitt didn't get that far. Stein and McComas were hav-ing a trouble free day, and held their lead to 35 minutes, as Davidson was now running well behind them, but just couldn't seem to catch them. Watson held the same position, still about the same distance back, and then it was Sunderland, Jr. ("Boogie") catching up a bit.

Four of them got to Check A close together, with Steve Will-iams leading, Olliges second and Frank Szubart in third place. Aaron and Ian Dixon were al-ready nearly an hour down with fuel line problems, but still mov-ing. At Check B Olliges had moved into the lead, and now Szubart was second, nine minutes later, and Williams was a minute behind him. David Porter and Doug Payne ran fourth and the Dixons were fifth, "putt-putting" their way along. At Check c: Mile 155, Olliges had a 19 minute lead, and Porter/ Payne and Williams were tied for third, with the Dixons another 38 minutes back. Szubart's race had come to an enii. Olliges was hav-ing no flat tires and no mechani-cal trouble, but he did break a side mirror. At Check 4 his lead was 27 minutes, and Porter/Payne were second, while Williams fell back about 35 minutes with a cu111LiuaLiu11 -of problems. He had som~ flats and also two bent drive shafts. He said, "Some little grem-lins bit us on the behind." (Ed Note: They took pretty big chunks out, I'd say.) The Dixons were ac-tually in front of him, putting Williams in the unusual position of being last. A~ Check E Olliges had 17 minutes on Porter and Payne who were also not having any flat tires. Williams and the Dixons were having a good race now, and Wil-liams was just four minutes in front of them, in third, but al-most a full hour behind the win-ning car. Olliges went on to take the win (and MacCachren won his class at Crandon also, giving him two victories in one day), fin-ishing 16 minutes in front of Por-ter and Payne, who said the "course was wonderful, there was no silt on it." Williams was third and the Dixons came in fourth, seven minutes behind him. The small SUVs went off the line next, with just four starters, all Fords, and one of them, Robby Woolworth, broke his transmission at Mile 28, and was done for the day. But Anthony Napoleon had his Bronco II moving rtght along, and he had the lead at Check A, with two minutes on Marc Winocur and Dave Turner in their Explorer. Dusty Times

Alister McRae had troubles, following Arai's Suba-ru throwing dust and dirt from a puncture·, then he was further delayed by the fire truck at the burning Subaru of Arai. Thiry continued to have rear brake problems, Eriksson lost boost pressure and power steering and lost 15 minutes on Stage 4, drop-ping back to 60th overall. Stage 5 was canceled due to crowds of spectators, so the rough Stage 6 was all that was left for the day. Before the stage, Subarus were first, second and fourth, afterwards Fords were first and second. Makinen de-clared he had gone flat out over the roughest sections and luck-ily, nothing had gone wrong with the car, but even so he only made third fast time. Sainz was lucky, he had shut his engine off wait-ing for the stage to start and had much trouble getting it fired again. In Teams Cup, both Lundgaard and Hagstrom had gearshift problems with their Corollas and Lundgaard lost a boit f~om a shock and was lucky to make it to service. Hagstrom had his gearshift change gears two at a time and he spun. Al Wahaibi went off the road on the second stage, but he found another road down the hill and was able to get back on course. Lundgaard hit a rock on Stage 3 and wrecked the sumpguard, Hagstrom stalled at the start of the stage and, despite his earlier downhill travels, Al Wahaibi led all the way! On Stage 6 Lundgaard holed his sump, Al Wahaibi lost his brakes and Papadimitriou's engine quit for 20 minutes in the middle of Stage 4 but by the end of the day the top three were only separated by 40 seconds. In Group N, Blomqvist was the first leader but then Porto took over. Ligato's gearbox was stuck in second, Blomqvist re-tired when his engine quit.

Loeb picked up three min-utes in road penalties. The two Spanish Puntos had shock prob-lems, Basso had gearbox failure. Henny retired on the final stage of the day with suspension fail-ure. Ford Pumas led all the day, followed by a Peugeot, a Citroen and a Fiat. Leg 2 -Seven stages, gravel, 117 kms. Drama began before the first stage of the day was reached.• Eriksson changed a turbo at service but it failed on the way to the first stage and he was out. Martin had a front tire explode on the first stage and the front suspension collapsed un-der the strain. McRae's tactic was to "go for it" and build up as much lead on Burns as pos-sible. Burns was happy running third on the road. Both Mitsubishis were jumping out of gear and both Skodas were hav-ing suspension problems. The next group of stages (9 to 11) were to be critical. Burns should have had enough time to catch McRae, but it was not to be. The organizers lopped 5. 75 kms off the middle stage, the teams were complaining that driving flat out downhill with no protection along the roadside. Then Burns, who started Stage 9 26. 7 seconds behind .arrived at the end of 11 oniy 22.1 behind and he said, "As long as I am within 20 seconds of Colin at the end of the day, I'll be alright." Colin had mentally written off the Burns challenge and now looked closer to home for a ri-val, Sainz, who was now only 13.6 seconds away. Solberg had a flat which affected his suspen-sion geometry, Loix badly bent an intercooler pipe and Makinen had to ease his paee after a flat caused escape of the mousses. Delecour had power steering fail-ure and Alister McRae was stopped with driveshaft failure but was able to keep moving in three wheel drive. In the final two stages the game livened up. In two stages, Burns came from 22. 7 seconds back to 14.8 and Sainz was only 9.8 behind McRae. The final day was really going to be tense. Panizzi was slowed by fuel pres-sure problems and Freddy Loix incurred road penalties because the mechanics had to change the turbo and the intercooler and he dropped from seventh to 11th place. In Teams Cup, Al Wahaibi lost his brake fluid, having to bleed the system himself b~fore the following stage, but he kept the lead while Lundgaard again had suspension troubles and had d riveshaft failure as a result.

On the penultimate stage, Ai Wahaibi st~pped to fix a flat tire and then wore out his . tires completely on the last stage and Pasi Hagstrom ended the day in the lead. In Super 1600, Duval retired with suspension problems and Rousselot, who had led the .day before also retired with suspen-sion failure. Cedric Robert, the leading Peugeot driver lost a wheel as he arrived at service af-ter Stage 11. It ·was a great day for Sebastien Loeb, he was fourth in Day 1 but after two stages on Day 2 he took the lead despite problems with a sticking clutch. Fastest driver on the stages was Andrea Dalavilla who had risen to second place_ Leg 3 -Seven stages, gravel, 126 kms. Overnight Skoda dis-covered Mat the handling prob-lems they had been having were due to the new construction in their tires, not in their shocks as they had assumed. Ford was happy with their Pirelli tires. On the first stage of the day Burns was quickest, reducing McRae's lead to 12.8 seconds. On the sec-ond stage it all went wrong for Burns as he went off the road and lost more than three min-utes and dropped back to sev-· enth place. Solberg was now al-most a minute behind the leader, Makinen was in fifth, Thiry' s engine cut out on him twice and Panizzi's front suspension failed and he was out of the chase. The tension was rising as was the closeness of the top runners. The gap was 16.6 seconds after Stage 14 and it now was 7.5 af-ter· the 18th stage. It was all touch and go. Solberg had to stop twice on stages first when dust inside the car became too dense and then when his engine quit. Kahle retired when he hit a rock and broke the steering on his SEAT With two stages to go Burns was in seventh place, 12.4 seconds behind Delecour, but he never reached the end of the stage, driveshaft failure. With one stage to go, Sain~ was 5.9 seconds behind McRae, but he too retired with engine failure! McRae was greatly relieved to reach the end of the stage and take the win. Solberg was having gear selection problems and wasn't sure he would make it to the end, but he did, and he took a great second place 'and Harry Rovanpera came in for third. In Teams Cup, Lundgaard had a wheel collapse, bent the front suspension and lost the front brakes. After Stage 14 he was third in the category, four minutes behind. Then Hagstrom retired with overheating. Lundgaard was 28.6 seconds be-hind Bakhashab and yet another race was on! On the final stage Lundgaard got through to win. In Group N, Pozzo was the winner with Trelles a very close second. In Super 1600, Sebastien Loeb took the honors and Andrea Dalavilla came in for second. Yet another tough competi-tion is over and the crews wend their weary ways to the next test of man and machinery. -4t'l'-AC1Opous "auy·,,.. ,, J11nt ~001 wr rouno., Teams· r .up rouno ... :-,uper 1NX> rouna .:-we po,nis ..,.,," vvr gN ,, :,,1t' The Mitsubishi Lancer Eva of Tommi Makinen and Risto Mannisenmaki throws lots of dirt on the way to 4th overall at Acropolis.

FRT TECATE GRAN PRIX south Of The Border Fun By Judy Smith Photos : C&C Race Photos Rob Archibald put the VB Ford powered two-seater into victory circle in both heats, and went home with the win for the unlimited class. It was fun in the sun tor some folks, and confusion and disap• pointment for others. Depending on what schedule a racer checked, the FRT Tecate Conquista event was on either the June 16 date or a date in July. Those who got there on the 16th got to race on the new and improved long short-course that Fud and his Mexican land-owner friends have created. The rest of them missed a good day of racing. Apparently, a date that had been switched got stuck on a couple. of schedules and racers who referred to them were misled into believing they had a couple of weeks before the race would happen. But for the few who showed up the racing was fun, even though there weren't many cars. About 15 minutes east ofTecate, the course.was about six miles long, a serpentine that included some good hills, lots of turns, a few "ei-ther-ors", some sand, some whoops, a little water and good viewing for the spectators.

He runs a 2240cc motor, and Burnworth's is a 2180. By the end of the third lap he had about six minutes on Burnworth, who for some odd reason, had to stop ad take on fuel. Fantelli was right behind him. And that's the way they stayed to the finish. Stemmerman was first, Burnworth second and Fantelli third. Tony Steingraber and Telly Philo ran their 5-1600 car against the Class 9s and came up lookin' good, finishing second for the day's efforts. Todd Stemmerman had some tough competition to fight off, and lost a fender in the process, but still finished his day with the win in Class 5. For their second heat there only the three survivors.

Trey Sommers had brain fade in one heat and a clogged fuel line on the Jimco, in the next, which made him a DNF, though he have it a good try. Rodd Fantelli and Charlie Bignell drove their Ford powered small truck to a close third behind the Baja Bugs, their truck competitors having fallen out early.

Behind him was The two 1600 cars, driven by teen-agers Eric Allen and Dave Scaroni, both J imcos, dropped into the wash pushing and shov-ing and banging on one another. Allen was in front, but just barely. On the second lap the Class 1 cars held their positions, but of the 1600s there was only one. Sca-roni had gone part of the lap with an ominous clanking, recursor to ring and pinion failure. On the third lap Mahi! was missing, having to do some tidy-ing up after one of his rear brake calipers fell off. He lost two full laps. Meanwhile, Hovey held the lead for five laps, but sounded a bit odd on that one, and then dis-appeared, as a c.v. flange pulled off the transmission. McCallum dis-appeared on the fifth lap, with a broken trailing arm, and Archibald inherited the lead, and the win. Allen was second, and Mahi! managed a third place. Hovey and McCallum didn't come back for the second heat, nor did Scaroni. So it was Archibald, and Mahil's partner, Ewald Gruber, and Allen in the 1600, who decided he might as well have some fun. Archibald got the hole shot, but All~n was right in there,. actually a twitch faster with the throttle pedal, if under-powered. Archibald went into the lead, and Allen ran second, while Gruber, another first time racer, fought his one-sided rear brakes from third place. Archibald led all the way, his "crate" motor, which runs pump gas, growing weary, but lasting long enough to give him the win. Archibald's girlfriend, Colleen, rode with him in both heats, and enjoyed herself im-mensely. Allen, whose car had no problems at all, ran second all the way, with Gruber, whose second-ary suspension gave up on him, in third place. Even with all their problems, the two new racers seemed to have a great time. Archibald was the winner for the day, with Allen second and Mahi! and Gruber in third. The racing was fun and the spectating was also. It' too bad there was that confusion about the date, because the reworked course was an improvement over last year's, and those who tried it en-joyed it. The next FRT even·t will be the August 11th Gran Prix, at Tecate again. This event will be run in conjunction with the CODE folks, from the Mexicali area, so there should be plenty of cars and trucks there to play with.

The Finke Desert Race in central Australia has a special meaning to off road racers, to David Fellows it was something he was trying to win as a driver, since navigating to a win in 1992. This year that dream came true, after many attempts came so close, this yea,r was al-most another to get away. Firstly he went from qualifying first to dropping to tenth after a shootout saw his clutch go off. Then he ended up leading into the half way point at Finke some 230 km away only to develop a misfire due to extreme rain on the way back. Then hitting a tree and killing the motor and losing gears. Only to be pushed back into the race and eventu-. ally come home a very popular winner with the entire Alice Springs crowd, which is abut 99% of the town's population. This year's race was as big as ever with over 100 cars and weii over 300 bikes all trying to con-quer "The Finke". The car filed was one of the best yet and qualifying was sensational. ln the end, after the shootout it was Terry Rose taking Pole over a controversial Dion Simpson, and then the winner of the last three Finkes, Mark Burrows. The class winners were Rose (Class 1), Simpson (Class 9), Matt Owen (Class 2/3), Steph-en Caulfield's Celica (Class 4A), Anthony Kuhn's Mazda Sta-dimn Truck (Class 4B), Trevor Growden's Nissan Stadium Truck (Class 4C), Harley Cooke's Ford V8 Truck (Class 5), and Bruce Garland's Jacka-roo (Class 7 /8).

Local Fellows was down in seventh but sure enough by the end of Finke it was Fellows leading and ready to start ·Day 2 in Number 1 Wayne Attard drove his good looking Chevy pickup to the Class 4C win, although he drove the last miles with a missing front tire.

2001 OJIBWE FORESTS CLUBRALLY Utecht/Lewis Persevere to Win Text & Photos: Jerry Winker Power sliding to a great Group 2 win, Aaron Hatz and Brendan Higgins blew the competition away in their GT/. Eric Seppanan and Jake Hines took the Production Class win in their neat looking Nissan Sentra, shown here cornering at speed. Mark Utecht and his co-driver Brenda Lewis claimed the victory for this year's Headwaters Clu-bRally held the Saturday prior to Mother's Day as a trial run for Sus-quehannock Trail ProRally three weeks later. Utecht was victorious by winning the Production GT class at Sno*Drift ProRally last January, but still is trying to get more seat time while trying to get used to Mitsubishi Eclipse he built over the winter. Utecht and Lewis were the SCCA ProRally Group 5 and Woodner Cup (two-wheel drive) co-champions last year and have their minds set on getting used to four-wheel drive and win-ning the POT championship this year. The northern Minnesota wil-derness suited them just fine. Mark's most serious challengers were all Open class cars while Mark was driving his near-stock Eclipse. Last year's winner Todd Jarvey in his rapid Mitsubishi Galant as well as the Mitsubishi Evo 4 of Paul Dunn and the Eclipses of Chris Gilligan and Dennis Martin had all been seriously fast at past Central • Division events. The 4WD Chevy S-10 of Ken Stewart and the re-cently built Mazda 323GTX of Darisz Bosek were also in the Open class and could challenge if the oth-ers faltered. The other cars in Pro-duction GT were the newly Eclipses of Paul Peters and Thomas Sama-ras. In Group 5, Colin McCleery brought his Merkur XR4-Ti and Jerry Brownell brought his Chevy Citation to do battle against Mary Utecht competing in her first rally in the Dodge Omni GLH Turbo that her husband ran last year.

Needless to say, Mark had this Omni well sorted out for her. Mark Utecht and Brenda Lewis took the overall in their Production ST Mitsubishi Eclipse at the Headwaters ClubRally. · In Group 2, the 2000 National Champion Bob Nielsen is taking it easy this year and competing in selected events. He brought his GTI out as did National Group 2 co-driver runner-up Al Kintigh in J.B. Niday' scar. J.B. was supposed to have his new GTI with a stron-ger motor ready for the event, but was a last minute scratch as the car wasn't ready on Friday night before the event. Aaron Hatz also had his similar car ready to do battle and has been becoming less intimidated by fast sections after his high speed roll at LSPR a few Colin McCleery and Jeff Secor ran through the forest in their Merkur XR4 and went to a nice win in Group 5, seventh overall.

He has been compet-ing in the co-driver's seat of Na-tional driver Eric Burmeister for the past two years. Eric's dad, Art, ran that car at LSPR last year as his car wasn't ready. Art debuted his newly built GTI at Headwaters this time out. Production class· had three strong contenders in Eric Seppanen in his Nissan Sentra SE-R, Jim Cox in his Chevy S-10, and Dave Johnson in his Dodge Neon. Seppanen had a fresh motor in his car after destroying his old one at Magnum Opus last year, Cox was fresh off his two wins at Sno*Drift ClubRallies last Jllnuary, and Johnson was fast at Cherokee Trails two months prior to his ex-Neon Cup car. Utecht had the fastest time on every stage of the rally during the first half, but was followed within seconds on every stage by J arvey. Paul Dunn was third still coming to grips with his newly purchased Evo prepped by TAD. Behind Dunn were the battling Eclipses of Gilligan and Martin. Unfortu-nately, after SS8 Martin retired with suspension problems. Steve Nielsen was putting in an excel-lent run though moving up rap-idly from the back to put himself up into fifth at the halfway point in the event. In the two wheel drive classes Colin McCleary was dominant in Group· 5 and just tried to main-tain his lead over Brownell. In Group 2, Bob Nielsen was clearly the leader, but after the first ser-vice his car sputtered to a stop beside the road with an electrical gremlin. Although the problem was eventually fixed Bob accrued 23 minutes worth of road penal-ties and was a finisher, but took second to last. That left the door open for the rest of the Gro:up 2 field. Al Kintigh was putting in a fine run until the engine expired Dusty Times ,.

Jerry Brownell and Jim Windsor took their Chevy Citation to a nice silver medal in Group 5. Almost taking more road than there was, Dave Johnson savl/(i it and continued on in Production Class. on SS8. That left the door open for Aaron Hatz who was putting in the best drive of his career. Phil Schmidt's Toyota MR-2 was in sec-ond just under a minute back by the second service with Mark Buskirk running in third. In Pro-duction class, Jim Cox was lead-ing Eric Seppanen by just a smidge when he rolled the S--10 hard af-ter he hit a rut the wrong way. The side windows were both out and the right side a-pillar was collapsed so that the windshield glass stuck out a bit from the rest.of the ve-hicle. With his trusty roll of duct tape he formed window nets and was allowed to continue although now a bit behind Seppanen. Also requiring service after center-punching a tree was the Thomasi Samaras Eclipse. The crew used its van to try to pull out the damage. Unfortunately, the pull was a bit TOO strong and the bumper was pulled off the car. Eventually, thanks to a long.dinner break, the bumper did get reattached while spectators watched the crew thrash to get the job done rather than not finish. In the end Utecht won the event first overall with a time of 1:08:04 with Jarvey just over a minute behind. In third Gilligan just edged out Dunn during the final stages with Ken Stewart fifth overall in the S-10. Steve Nielsen was set to finish well unfortunately his co-driver felt otherwise. After SS8, Steve retired after his navi-gator was dehydrated from "ex-treme motion sickness". Aaron Hatz was 3/100 of a minute faster than Colin McCleery to take sixth overall and first in Group 2 while McCleery won Group 5. Eric Seppanen was a minute and a halfback in eighth overall and first in Production class. Steve Irwin and Mark Buskirk rounded out the top ten. Where was Jim Cox in his S--10 after the roll? Unfortunately on SS9 he rain fell and he couldn't see the road briefly through his cracked windshield. Jim said he went off the road at speed back-ward down a hill. Fortunately, a stump stopped his scare and he was pulled out and continued with the truck even more dam-aged. He plans on having it rebuilt by Ojibwe Forests ProRally in August to compete on a National. level. He took home dead last, but finished (21st out of 30 starters). The Headwaters ClubR.ally was not as heavily fielded in past years due to the rising gas prices during late spring. Last year the field was 52 cars strong and this year had only 30 entries. Many teams this year just decided to make the trip out to Susquehannock Trail Pro--Rally in Pennsylvania a few weeks later rather than do both events. Fortunately, several new cars are in the works for some competitors in Dusty Times the Central Division and others who competed here in May will were just avoiding the high gas bills have the home field advantage of for the rally cars and tow vehicles. running these roads later.

BITD SILVER STATE SERIES • ROUND 3 • TONOPAH 300 Hengeveld and street The Team To Beat By Mark Kariya Photos: Trackside Photo Justin Wray, Jonathan Martinez and Chris Garnett combined their !alents to take the 125 Expert Class on their Yamaha. These guys are 14, 15 and 16 years old. There's a new number one on the horizon, judging by the results that Steve Hengeveld and Jonah Street have been putting in lately. The American Honda team won both SCORE's Baja 500 and Best in the Desert's Tonopah 300 in the space of three weeks, unofficially putting them into the points lead of both . series. As a result, things are looking up for the pair which now runs the number two plate in their Precision Concepts/HRCA/Pro Honda Oils-sponsored XR650R. The Tonopah victory marked the first time atop the podium this sea-son for Hengeveld/Street in Best in the Desert's Silver State Senes, and it came after spending five hours, 10 minutes, 54 seconds on a 290-mile course that promoter Casey Folks put tremendous effort into making new and different. "It was a good course," defending race and series champion Tim Staab said. "Casey put in a lot of effort to make it different that's really good. It's good that Casey does that; he doesn't just run the same course ev-ery race so you've got to give hin1 a lot of credit for that." This year, Staab and partner, Johnny Campbell finished third in 5:20:31, victims of an unfortunate draw that saw them start last in the Open Pro class, get hung up in dust early on, then Campbell cartwheeled while trying to make up time on their Precision Concepts/IMS/Dunlop-backed XR650R. Sandwiched between them was the Price Racing/Team Green/Pro Circuit KX500-mounted duo of Shane Esposito and Andy Grider. The top placing two stroke team also encountered a few setbacks during their 5:16:12 ride, with Grider slid-ing out at speed while going for the lead then having to stop at the last pit to replace worn out rear brake pads. Hengeveld led the motorcycles, having drawn the first starting posi-tion, with Dayton Raper on the XR's Only/Moose/Ram Line Pro XR650R, Esposito and the rest of the 66-bike and 20-ATV field following The lronman amateur win went to Jet Peery, the 40 year old rode his Honda to a nice win. ~t one minute intervals in the early morning. Right off the bat, Hengeveld started worrying because in the many fast sections that comprise the typi-cal Best in the Desert course, he couldn't get up to top speed. "The bike just wasn't pulling that good in the morning; it was running a little too lean so every time I'd shift into fifth, it'd bog out," he admitted. "l could mainly run only in fourth gear." Still, he fmmd no one coming up to challenge him. He held onto the lead through Pit 1., though by Pit 2 Esposito and Destry Abbott on the Te.am Green/Dunlop/Trick KX500 he shared with .Brian Brown were close enough to possibly be ahead on corrected time. Raper came through in fourth, with Staab close behind and frustrated by the dust. "We pretty much just got stuck behind the Dayton Raper Nl8 team," Staab said "Johnny came in right be-hind ·them at Pit 1 [where I got on], and from there every time l got on a fast, silted-out road where I should be going 100, I was going 60, so we were just losing minutes upon min-utes there.

Just luck of the draw, and we didn't have it this time. We didn't have any breeze; it was just dead calm out there." Lance, Kevin and Jerry Fisher spilled their Honda but, undeterred they rode on for the 250 Expert win. Jimmy Stephenson and Eric Dollente were the overall Quad winners, shown here with their Honda in action. From Pit 2 to 3, crashes affected two of the top teams, with Grider going down in a play for the lead. "Leaving Pit 2 I was about a minute behind Jonah, and I caught up to him and his dust," Grider reported. "I went to go through his dust on a fast road and chopped the throttle [in a corner) and slid out at somewhere be-tween 60 and 80 miles an hour. Luck-ily I was on top of the bike!

CORR At Bark River By John Cai11in Photos: J&L Photo Steve Federico was fourth on Saturday, took the ProLite wif'} on Sunday and holds a 10 point lead in drivers points. Kevin Probst had a pretty good weekend in Pro-2, winning round 7 and taking second in round 8 at Bark River. It was the fourth race weekend of the year for the CORR drivers but only the seventh time they were on the track together as they still had a rain date to make up from ·cheir first outing at Fort Dodge. Hopefully, they will have better weather at Ford Dodge this next go-around and get the series back on schedule. Meanwhile, at Bark River the racing was calculated and tough and we saw some new winners and some new losers as well. In Pro-4, Johnny Greaves ·finally broke through and took the win on Sat-urday, his first of the season and he was mightily pleased with the gold medal. Rob MacCachren was close behind him to take the sec-ond spot, Curt LeDuc was third across the line and Kent Braseno took fourth. On Sunday MacCach-ren was back in stride, taking his fifth win of the season. LeDuc, who has not been having the best of years took the second place po-sition, Jason Baldwin hung in for a third place finish and Scott Dou-glas was fourth. MacCachren is leading the· Pro-4 brigade in points with 130 under his belt and is the overall points leader as well. LeDuc has moved into second spot in points with 92, and he has no wins yet this year, but a bunch of seconds and thirds. Jason Baldwin is third in points, also a bridesmaid in the win department, Scott Douglas is in fourth place and Greaves is fifth and is certainly ready to win again. It was a real shootout in Pro-2 with Kevin Probst taking his first win of the season on Saturday and rocketing himself into third place in the Pro-2 points. Scotty Taylor was second across the finish line and he holds a 26 point lead in points. Dan Vandenheuvel, who certainly has had better years was third ro finish. R.J. Flanagan had is second best finish of the year in fourth and Evan Evans was fifth after a flat tire dropped him from an almost certain win. On Sunday Evens blew everyone else away and took the win, his second of the year, Kevin Probst answered with a great second place, Scotty Tay-lor took the bronze medal, Vandenheuvel grabbed fourth nd Flanagan was fifth. Taylor leads the points with 124, Evans is-not too far out of it with 98, Pi;:obst comes in with 82, Larry Goudie, who has had a miserable season is fourth and Vandenheuvel sits in the fifth spot. It was a red letter Saturday in Single Buggy for Bob Blaney. Sat-urday, he took his first win of the season and moved himself into fifth in points. tied with Michael Notary.

CODE KC HiLites Nite Race Hector Garcia took the coveted Class 1600 win even after encountering troubles on the iast lap. If the thermometer reads 108 degrees at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and you wan-ta race, what do you do? No problem, just wait till the sun goes down and it's only 90 degrees. Shine a flashlight on the green and start your race. And that's just what they did at the KC Hi-Lites sponsored race which was run by .the CODE folks, the last weekend in June. As "old sol", slipped behind. the mountains the engines fired up for real and the multi lap, cars and trucks only, race was on. One hundred and ten drivers ·and co-drivers hit the hills and trails just off Kilometer marker 137 on the Mexicali-Tijuana highway. Forty-six brave souls crossed the finish line 188 miles with times ranging from four hours, plus change, to eight hours and change. Amado Lopez, running in Class 10 made the trip in four hours 11 minutes and 53 seconds and Jesus Mendez, hit the green flag about four hours and 47 minutes later. There were lots of DNFs or no times. Nine penalties were handed _out which cost some drivers a spot in the top three of each class, but no major crashes or injuries occurred.

The first titne he broke the front suspension which they fixed only to go out and find the mischievous little rock on the next lap and break the rear suspension. Some people have the wrong kind of luck. Vehicles lost alternators and transmissions, drivers got lost and one guy even climbed a tree, but everyone made it back before sunrise. Just like CODE's last outing, the entries were split between PRO and SPORTSMAN, with eight classes in Pro and four in · Sportsman. As stated earlier, first in Class 10 and first overall was, Amado Lopez, driving his single seat Jimco. Lopez encountered no real problems and finished with a time of 4:11:53.

Of the 90 teams that started the event 51 were still around for the end. As Mother Nature reared her ugly head by night-fall, a lot of things changed w hen the heavy rains came down. The three manufacturers were well represented here at STPR. The Hyundai team would be lucky to have multi-time winner here Paul Choin-iere first on the road in his Tiburon. Although Paul won the first event of the season at Sno*Drift last January a victory has since been elusive. His teammate, Noel Lawler, had had worse luck with a D NS, two roll-overs, and a me_chanical p roblem to keep h im from finishing the previ-ous events this year. The 1999 champio n has been very hun-gry for a victory and has been fast here in the past. Irishman Malachy Crawfor_d has now purchased the ex-Libra Rac-ing Elantra and plans to cam-paign the car this year so help acquire points. Crawford ran well at Maine Forest Rally back in 1999 in Lance Smith Racing's Evov, but had an off road excursion which placed him back many positions.

Mitsubishi was w ithout some of their key players in that Cherokee Trails winner Richard Tuthill was absent. The original plan was for Tuthill to run just Cherokee Trails, but he may be show-ing up at later events if fund-ing is acquired. Rhys Millen, Garen Schrader, and Pete Lah m also decided against the long haul from th e south , but will return later this sea-son. Mitsubishi did have Brit-ish Group N points leader Jeremy Easson on hand in an Evo IV, as well as Frank Sprongl borrowing Keith Townsend;s Evo IV as their Audi S-2 was not ready. Fast Irishmen Seamus Burke, T h o-mas Lawless and J ohh D rislane as well as Tim Pater-son nd Alec Ellsworth had their TAD-prepped Evos o n hand as well. Group N Evos were b eing run by N oel N ash and Vinnie Frontinan. The threat of late has been the Subaru contingent which seems to have the most rapid growth. ProDrive/Subaru USA was on hand again with the FIA Group A WRX for Mark Lovell as well as the Group N car for Karl Scheible. Ramana Lagemann,, running a Group N WRX, is also teamed with Vermont Sports Car who preps the cars for Lovell and Scheible and is paddocked along w ith the Tea m Subaru USA car s .

On SS7, things started to change up front as both of the Hyundai team cars were out. Noel Lawler had an oil line come apart which caused his engine to catch fire. Paul Choiniere had a head gasket go ending his chances for an-other victory. Malachy Crawford was the lone open class Hyundai left. In the end he only had fourth gear left and was able to limp home to a finish. Frank Sprongl, who was a winner here in 1998, also retired due to losing power to the front wheels of his Eva. · By:,S7, the threat of rain became a reality and the cars had to deal with extremely slippery roads.

' . ~i:= ■ ■ Ir■---■■ EL PREZ SEZ ... (Ain't no Wahzoo) Well, I guess MORE is more. More Checkers means more fun at the July 7th MORE Freedom 250 held in the stormy dust free Lucerne Valley. If Jim Cleamons could have picked what the weather was to be, he couldn't have done it better. Well, maybe a little less flooding during con-tingency. A dust free race course with mucho water crossings and cool temperatures in July, whoda thunk? This race was definitely a pitter's and spectator's delight, racers on the other hand were confronted with numerous obstacles like water, mud and washouts,. which made for a great after-noon and evening of racing for all. We had seven cars entered in this event and five pits cover-ing all water crossings. Now as I said MORE is more and for the team racing with Checker Roger Byrd in a Sportsman class Baja more seemed tci be enough! Let me explain, as everyone knows, off road racing is a team sport. You build your car with the help of friends and neighbors and family members and corne race time the same group becomes your chase crew/support group. Well, as many know who are always on the sidelines the pay-off really comes with the actual thrill of racing. Now back to the point, this generous member in realizing this, banded seven of those who helped prep this car and gave each of them time ei-ther behind the wheel or riding shotgun. Now, this must have been the right formula for rac-ing because he wound up win-ning his class. In looking at this sport you see that type of sports-manship among most all partici-pants. I know from my own ex-perience of driving Richard Young's car in San Felipe, just how much this means and how involved it makes you feel. It just added to our sport and makes us stronger as a group, well done. Once again we· took to the desert for our annual Checkers Summer Party where we include all our friends and families in a weekend of activities, games, food and music. For those who have never heard of these usu-ally legendary events I'll fill you in. We go out to Nowheresville and bring the usual party sup-plies along,-i.e., a rolloff dumpster filled with water (swimming pool), a 30' flat bed trailer (stage), a 10' BBQ trailer (grub), a margarita fountain and a helicopter (cause we can) and we throw a bash. Last year was at Lou & Lois Peralta' s ranch and was as usual, GREAT. This year was once again a huge suc-cess, with a new location and some new activities. Everyone enjoyed the usual fantastic grub. New to this year's party was the first annual Big Air Bob long ball competition, which was won by Victor Bussey. We had the first annual horse shoe competition and the usual poker run and pit' crew competition. Also the al-ways popular motor meltdown. Our new location was out near C Park in Cal City and proved to be a good location for us. August was a busy month for the club with the Snore KC Mid-night Special and the MDR Cali-fornia 200 both being club races. I will give results in the 1,1ext col-umn and will also give a report on our Speed Zone meeting. Speed Zone, Checkers, Race cars, the competition. Good call President Seeley, let's do it again soon and invite our friends from FAIR. That could be a night to remember! Well, my thanks go out to the. club for purchasing the brand new energy efficient refrigerator instead of using the one with fins and a coil on top that Dan Martin: offered. Thanks Dan, but this one I can afford to keep plugged in. We qualified for the SCE 20% discount because our power usage was down 41 %, thanks. Well remember time, ticket sales seem good for the 2001 .Banshee with custom trailer, don't forget to call me or Michael Lee when you need more, also we are looking ·for more examples of our 28 years of racing to put on display. George Thompson has a hospi-tality room for us Saturday at the Sheraton Hotel. Call for details, also sign ups for the Primm are still needed. Don't miss this fun event. Maybe Uncle Max will head up another coaster run. If you're interested in becom-ing a Checker or need to contact or curse us, call (818) 790-1161. We meet every Wednesday at 1111 Foothill Blvd. in La Canada. View us on the web at www.checkersoffroad.orig. SEE YA IN THE DEZ, EL PREZ. C.D.R.E .. Pit Report By Wayne Nosala By now I'm sure everyone has heard about the passing of our fr.iend Sandy Parker. Everyone in the CORE Circle is still mourning the loss. The feeling I get from everyone in the club is he would have wanted us to press on. This feels pretty awkward for me to do this, but I'm going to try to pick up where Sandy left off in this column. · The first item of business. The trailer cleanup and service. On July 28th, we had a club trailer cleanup, hosted by yours truly. We had about 25 CORE folks show up at our house for the cleanup and barbecue. We pretty much unloaded the whole trailer. All of the pit boxes were removed, unpacked, cleaned, then repacked and stocked with all the essential racing goodies. The jacks were all serviced, the trailer axles were serviced wit new brake shoes, brakes were bled and all of the wheel bearings were repacked with fresh . grease. A few nonessential items were removed and tossed out. All in all it was a fun day. We finished by barbecuing some tasty burgers and having some cold drinks. Thanks to Joan Wagner and Melody Myer.s for.shopping and leaving all that extra food in my fridge! RACE REPORTS as follows: The Kartec 400: We had three CORE entries. Team Inch Our Prez Brad Inch led the 1600 field the first two laps, but the third lap he hit a rock and had to come back to main for a quick tire change and fix a fan belt. Brad decided it was a good time for a driver's change. SNORE guy Kenny Freeman was put in to do some driving. Unfortunately, Kenny didn't get far; a failed clutch before Pit A retired the team for the day. Randy Jones/Rob Myerly Randy and passenger Johnny Burns ran almost trouble free the first three laps. Randy pulled into main, finishing out the third lap, put in Rob Myerly and Allen Hensly and fixed a power steering problem. Rob continued on until he bumped a truck and knocked a shock line loose. Brand and Randy bolted from Main Pit and caught Rob at Pit C to replace the failed shock in record time resulting in a great win for Randy and Rob in the 1600 class.

Tim and Jeremy had some pretty bad crash damage to fix from the previous Ridgecrest event but managed to get the 5-1600 together at the last minute to the start line, but CV problems put them out early in the day. PITS AS FOLLOWS: Main Pit: Derrin Griffin, the Lindsay's crew, Babe and Linda Jones, Rob Myerly and Allen Hensly. Pit A: Jerry Lawless and crew, Jim Wagner and Dave Wolf. Pit B: Dave Girdner, Paul Smith, Ray Wright and tom Foudy. Pit C: Bob Depew, Gary, Kim and Kara Hall. MORE Freedom 250/July 7 CORE has seven club entries. Team Inch Brad was running his usual blistering pace right out of the gate but had a flat late in the first lap, repaired in CORE Main then proceeded without problems. Brad put Randy Jones in the 1600 racer on the sixth lap ending up with the win, second CAL and setting six of eight fast lap times. Team Wright Ray Wright started the race in fine fashion, unfortunately, he wasn't feeling well towards the end of the first lap, he radioed ahead to his teammate Bubba at Main to get ready to take over the wheel. Bubba ran a great six laps and decided to turn the car over to our own Big Bob Depew ultimately finishing second in the 1600 class. Team Girdner Davy had motor problems all day but ended up finishing th-ird in the 1600 class. Team Jorgenson Shirley Jorgenson made a great showing in the big open car the first half of the race then gave over to her partner Todd to complete. They had a few exhaust problems, but ended up with a great win in Class 1, third OAL. Team McMillin Steve McMillin made a hard charging effort but a broken torsion bar made for an early exit from the event. Team Strap Another hard charging effort, Rob's car driven by Todd Craig was leading Class 9 when the tranny let go about half way into the event. Team Burns Johnny was running right with the 9 pack on the first lap. On the second lap around Mile 20, the lead car drifted off course, Johnny unknowingly followed him into a shortcut then got lost trying to find his way back to the race course. Ultimately it ended up costing Johnny some valuable time. Frustrated, Johnny put Jason McCune in as his co-driver on Lap 3 . Jason went a few miles then got a rear flat, drove it back to Main, by that time the transmission was broken, day over. THE PITS Main Pit: Sandy Parker, Randy Jones, Jason McCune, Jeff Searock, Cassanora Burns, Torn Foudy and family. Main Pit saw a few drivers' Dusty Times. changes. Thanks to the Jorgensons for the gazillion watt lighting system! Pit B: Myself-Wayne Nosala, Bob Depew, Gary and Kara Hall. Not much action, we just helped Bob Depew and Bubba with their driver's swap. Pit D: Dave Girdner and crew. Mr Girdner had a mishap between a chase truck and his generator; I believe the chase truck won! Seriously, I hope the guy that hit it will pay for it. Pit E: Tim Lindsay and crew. There was some confusion about the course markers aiid where Tim was to pit, the race started, but the course did not run by his pit! So he had to move and re-setup. At the end of the event, his battery went dead in his truck. Luckily h e had just enough battery left to radio Brad to go up and give him a jump. OK Last: If I have left anything out or misspelled any names here I apologize. Due to the circumstances and deadline, I basically had only one evening to throw this column together from scratch. Thanks to Brad Inch and Derrin Griffin for helping me fill in some last minute details for this article. Any comments, questions, or if I just plain screwed something up here, contact me, I will fix it by the riext installment. Fax: (818) 703-0129 E-mail: Whosala@aol.com. News FroniThe Director Summer fun continued for the California Rally Series crowd! Sue Robinson spent June and July traversing the country on her amazing endur-ance ride following the Pony Express trail. She and her in-trepid pair of equines held up well, and only once did she and horse part company on the ride! Congrats, Sue, for a great accomplishment. We'll look forward to hearing your "bench racing!" CRS rallyists never let a lack of rallies keep them from com-petition. On Sunday, June 24, about 30 competitors and their family mern.bers gathered at Irvine Regional Park in Orange for the Annual Rally Picnic. Steve Bender went above and beyond to secure a place for us, arriving at 7:30 in the morn-ing and claiming a great picnic area. Lots of great food and rally tales were exchanged. Some of us explored the huge park on foot or mountain bikes, and others took their little ones over to the train ride and petting zoo. Four mini scooters had been brought, so naturally some racing ensued down a nearby hill. Steve Bender proved fastest driver, even with daughter Hope on board, although Bob Pendergrass gave him a run for his money. Then the whole group headed over to the Dromo One indoor Go-Kart racing facility for some serious racing. We had blocked two races and when extra rallyists showed up, we booked a third race! If you've never been to this track, it's well worth the $20 fee. You're given training, a hel-met, and driving suit, and a few laps to set fast times and determine pole position. Then you're off, with nine to 12 driv-ers per race. It's surprisingly difficult to learn the right line, and most of the rallyists at-tending, including yours truly, spent way too much time slid-ing sideways (it was fun!) and scrubbing off exit speed. Rim of the World stage captain Bill McDuffee showed everyone how to do it, however, winning two races outright with an amazingly smooth line! Warren Caswell of Sparco put in a great performance, and a lot of close racing went on through-out each pack. Even some of the younger generation got in-volved, including Chrissy Beavis and Sandra Chavez. It was a terrific end to a fun day, and the facility made a lot of new fans. In late July a lot of CRS ral-lyists headed to the Maine For-est Rally to either watch, crew or compete. The country MUST be getting smaller -this is MAINE we're talking abut -nearly 3,000 miles away! Seamus Burke/Frank Cun-ningham, local favorites, won handily, assisted by being first on the road, so important in this dusty event. In the CRS contingent, Tony Chavez and Doug Robin-son were there to try to better their second place position in the SCCA ProRally Produc-tion class championship. Alex Gelsomino, Paula Gibeault and Ole Holter co-drove in the same class. Alex's hotshoe Brit-ish rally driver, Guy Anderson, won the class in his U.S. debut -congrats! Paula ran with Road and Track writer Andy Bornhop in the Hyundai team's P Class Tiburon, and Andy did a great job in just his second rally (fresh from a re-fresher course at Tim O'Neil's Rally School in New Hamp-shire). They finished a scant three hundredths behind Tony and Doug's Golf Gti. Ole Holter held down the ballast seat for Mike Halley in the in-famous VW New Beetle, which finished a few places back in class due to a flat tire. The roads were riddled with gotcha rocks, both imbedded and dug out by rally tires, so it was tough to avoid mishaps. CRS teams that didn't make it to the end included the Knight Racing Subarus of Lon Peter-son/Bill Gutzmann and Jonathan Ryther/Janice Dami-tio; Peter Workum/Claire Chizma; and the MLM Motor-s ports Eclipse driven by Lauchlin O'Sullivan and John Dillon. Condolences to these teams who made such a long tow! Carl J ardevall finished sec-ond in Qroup 5, just .66 minute behind the class win-September 2001 n er. Josh Jacquot of Sport Compact Car magazine had a good run co-driving for Rhys Millen in the Mitsubishi en-tered Evolution 6.5, and they will probably run more events together. Also seen at the event were Ben Bradley, who won Group 2 co-driving for Chris Havas, plus Dave Coleman, Justin Benham, George Pisek, Suzanne Martin, Paul Timmerman and Shane Polhamus who were there to watch and crew. Beautiful weather and scenery and a whopping 120 entries - a new record for the sport in this country -made it a memorable weekend for all. LOS campiones Race support Team, Inc. There was a huge crowd in attendance for the July meeting, it was called to or-der by our new Sergent-at-Arms, Donny Allen at 7 :00pm. After all the at-tendees were introduced, I made an announcement that one of my dear friends had died of a· heart attack a few days before. Robert Larson had helped me with the races for 20 years be-fore dying of a massive heart attack. Quickly we moved on to the topic on everyone's mind, the 4th of July fes-tivities. Jud lee Felix got a big round of applause for her herculean efforts. W e paid Dave Dietrich a big tip of the Chefs Hat for the excellent food and cheered Gnarly Dave for his award winning picture of the American Flag. Ac-tually it wasn't the flag that got everyone's attention, it was what it was supporting. There was a big photo pic-torial hung on the wall for everyone to view and make comments about. It defi-nitely was one of the best, parties in years. We had 32, persons pitch horseshoes, ' it must have been the sign. We sold a lot of the new T's and Tops. There are still some available at $10 each, two for $25 or three for only $50. They are any color you want as long as it is white. Men's T's and Ladies Small and Medium spaghetti straps and Large and X-large scoop neck tops. The Off Road Ware-house CODE/FRT Lazo de Amistad Gran Prix was briefly discussed. It is go-ing to be a two day event because of the expected 125-150 participants. Do not be surprised if you re-ceive a phone call from me in the near future asking for help. The last item on the agenda was the Sunday July DON'T FORGET TO SUPPORT THE ADVERTISERS WHO KEEP REPORTING THE OFF ROAD NEWS! Page 49

22nd Pride of Vista Lions Club Off Road and RV Show. Andy Felix was go-ing to give us the latest de-tails, however, he deftly avoided the embarrass-ment of talking before a group as he handed the subject off to the lady run-ning the show, Eleanor. She was in attendance along with three of her helpers. Eleanor explained that we (Los Campeones) are to help with the park-ing and in return have complimentary display. She encouraged us to have our friends bring their race cars. She went on to ex-plain that if you brought your toy to display, admit-tance to the show is free. A most generous offer! Gnarly Dave requested that we have our display next to the beer garden and it was granted. I encourage every-one to attend, if even for an hour or two. A nice showing this year will make next year's possible. Thank You Eleanor for inviting us and attending our meeting. There were no other dis-cuss ions, therefore the meeting was adjourned shortly after 8: 15. Fud P.S. Judlee hung up on me three times while I was trying to help plan the party on the 4th. She told me that she would make it up to me. She did by eat-ing the pizza I had ordered! Next meeting: August 21st at Mama's and Papa's Pizza Grotto in Vista. Ar-r .ive early for tons of bench racing and great food with the meeting starting at 7:00pm. Magnificent 7 Race Team By Stephen Stenberg, President Greetings to all racers and members alike! This summer is just racing by and August is already here. Where did June and July go? Typically, we had the Barstow 250 to mark the summer by. I'm sure there are many readers and pit teams alike who don't miss that race much this year? Mag 7 wishes to welcome three new pit crews that will be working with us at the Vegas to Reno race. Greg K'.ontilis, Mike Shannon and Greg Crew head up these three crews and they all come with high recommendations each. These guys all have extensive backgrounds in both racing and running good pits, up here and down in Baja as well. We shall be seeing them at the Vegas to Reno race in September. Tom Mangoine who pitted with us at the B2K last year at Pit #18 will also join Mag 7. Glad to see you again Torn! Myself, Tim Barlow and Bill Kruckmeyer will round out the pit captains for the Vegas to Reno race . Mag 7 is running in the Score Primm 300 again this year. Last year was our first time in a while running the race. We are offering emergency pit service out on the course. The cutoff for this extends to contingency. Terry Wickersham is running the pit and will be handling signups up until contingency. He will also be handing out Vegas to Reno applications and Baja 1000 pit applications. The fees for the Prirnrn 300 are super low. For 2001 year members, the fee is only $25.00. For new members, the fee is $ 7 5 .00. This includes your membership fee for 2001. You can call or fax our Race Director, Mike Wickersham at (619) 303-6283. His e-mail is Racedirector@mag7ra.ee.corn. We will be out at Pit B or somewhere on the course like Score had everyone last year. The Mag 7 Race Team will be staying at Buffalo Bills starting Friday before the race. We hope to see you all there. Mag 7 is also running in the Best in the Desert series Vegas to Reno Race! We will be running six pits for all classes. Bikes, quads and vehicles must be able to go a minimum of 66 miles for some of our pits with help from their chase vehicles. We have set a limit for how many full service entries we will take in all classes, so don't delay if you want pit assistance. For those racers that don't race the Score series, Mag 7 has been in operation now for 31 years this last July. First with NORRA and then SCORE at races TRANSAXLE ENGINEERING.

ATVs: Javier Robles 70. · GUAM REVISITED -Hot off the wire, the Miller Lite Smokin' Wheels Weekend 2001 on the island of Guam was a rip roaring success, inaugurating the brand new motor racing compound with flair and excitement. Nine Pro Trucks were part of the show and Rick Johnson was the winner after two heats and a main event. In the 90 minute "Enduro", the overall winner was Wally Hrdlicka in the Mango Racing Ford Protruck and the first buggy was local George Flores in a Chenowth. Both of Saturday's buggy heats were won by local driver Henry Simpson, also driving a Chenowth. Full coverage of this exciting event will be in the October issue of Dusry Times. such as the Mint 400, the Frontier 500 and the Parker 400. Also, through our teammate Bruce Barlow, who passed on last year, we had a 20 year association with the Los Ancianos MC and the lunch stops for the Tecate 500 and later the 250 Endures in Tecate, B.C. We sure miss those endures and especially you Bruce! We then moved on to HDRA when they were around and now we are trying our hands in Best in the Desert as well for this race. We will be using our Baja 500 scale for pit fees. Mag 7 Race Team has all our own equipment including durnp cans for both bikes and vehicles and dry brakes for the bike/ quad entries. You can either call or fax our Race Director, Mike Wickerhsam at (619) 303-6283. His e-mail address is Racedirector@mag7race.corn. The cutoff for taking applications for this race hasn't been determined yet, but will most likely be in the first two weeks of September some time. That is it from Mag 7. Take care and continue to be safe with those matches. Our fire season out here on San Clemente Island goes from May through December, so we have a ways to go still on fire protection. Have fun for the rest of the summer and maybe we will run into each other? Take care and Adios from Team Baja at www.rnag7race.corn. Attention Pit Teanis Send us your pit tales, whether they be of success or woe and they will be featured on these pages (space permitting).
