Trail Notes ... 'l '-TE NEED YOUR ScmmUlE -TI1ose of you out there who promote races, rallies, VV trade shows, cars shows, etc., send your schedule in immediately for inclusion in the Dusty Times January issue centerfold calendar. Hurry, Hurry, Hurry! "'C'\NAL FIAG • TI1e off road racing world was saddened to hear o( the passing of r"Fud". Fud was the long time director and promoter of the Superstition Champi-onship Series, which he had been promoting since 1984. Fud was born in Wisconsin on August 3, 1944. Fud was an aerospace engineer by trade and he worked on the space shuttle during the Reagan administration. Fud was one of the good guys, he toiled night and day for the racer. We will all miss him. BAJA. 1000-Norn; • As of October 20 there are 222 entrants for the 36th Tecate SCORE 13aja 1000. TI1ere are a number of racers from other venues entered in the race, such as: NASCAR · Robby Gordon and Brendan Gaughan, CART• Jimmy Vasser and Micllael Jordain, Jr., Open Wheel • Mike and Robbie Groff, Johnny Unser and Sportscasters Paul Page and Cameron Steele. TI1ere are 24 Pro and 5 Sportsman Classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and A TVs. Alan Pfleuger, the Hont>-"lulu will be first to start in his Chevy Trophy Truck. Alan has already clinclled the Pro Truck title for 2003 and is moving up in class. Robby Gordon drew tl1e 20th and last starting position for the Trophy Truck class, Robby finished third in last years Baja l()(X). Otl1er entries in tl1e Trophy Truck class include, Tim and Ed Herbst, Dan Smith & Dave Ashley, Gus Vildosola and Rob MacCachren, Brian Collins, Darren Skilton, Mark Post & Jerry Whelcl1el, Mark Miller, Larry Ragland and his son Chad, Curt LeDuc, Scott Steinberger, Steve Sourapas, lkuo Hanawa and, last, but not least, Marty Coyne. First to start in tl1e Motorcycle Classes is John Morrison. John will race in Class 22 on a Honda XR650R. This is his first SCORE race although he is seasoned in cross country racing in New England. To date there are 28 entries in Class 1 and 24 in 1/2-1600. Starting first in Class 1 will be Ron Brant in his Jimco/ Chevy and first off in 1600 will be Jose Estolano in a Jimco/VW. Rod Hall will be driving a Hummer, his 35tl1 Baja l()(X) race, tl1at's right, he's raced every one of'em. The l()(X) this year is a loop from Ensenada to Ensenada and is over 750 miles of everything you can think of for a course. Dusty Times wishes all the competitor well. We hope they all have a safe and successful race. SCCA PRoRAuY • Lake Superior -It wasn't too much of a surprise, David Higgins and Daniel Barritt did it again! Round 9 of the SCCA ProRally Championship is in tl1e record books and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution was on top of tl1e podium for tl1e umpteentl1 time this year. Ramana Lagemann and Micllael Orr were second in their Subaru Impreza WRX sci, a minute and tl1ree seconds out of the win. TI1ird in Open Class was Paul Hagstrom and Marko T askinen in another Subaru lmpreza. First in Group N and lOtl1 overall was Shane Mitcllell and Paul Donnelly, both from Ireland, tl1ey drove a Subaru Impreza WRX. Doug Shepard and Pete Gladysz were tl1e Group 5 winners in a Dodge SRT-4. 13tl1 overall and first Production GT was the Subaru lmpreza RS of Otis Dimiters and Peter Monin. The Group 2 winner was the team of Chris Whiteman and Mike Paulin in tl1eir Dodge Neon STX. Paul Choin• iere was fourth in Open class in his Hyundai Tiburon and Lauchlin O'Sullivan was fifth in Open driving his Mitsubishi Lancer Evo. 'l TORRA FAu.oN 250 • Our apologies to many of tl1e racers at the VORRA Fallon V 250. Due to unexpected problems in tl1e photographic department we were unable to bring you many of the class winners as well as the second and tl1ird place finishers in tl1e various classes. We'll do our best to be better next times. "0:>R YoUR lNFoRMATION • A study released by tl1e National Highway Traffic Safety J. ~Administration indicates that its fuel economy program (Cafe) is even deadlier tl1an previously estimated. In 2001, a National Academy of Science panel concluded tl1at Cafe contributes to between 1,300 to 2,600 traffic deaths a year, by restricting tl1e production of large cars. NHTSA'.s newest study, however, finds that the effect of tl1is downsizing on safety is "substantially latger" than previously thought. The study con-finns previous findings that SUVs are more crashwotthy than passenger cars and tlut minicars are tl1e most dangerous class of vehicle. "NHTSA should be ashamed of once again ducking the CAFE/Safety issue in order to continue its attack on SUVs. As for _rollovers, the far more important issue is overall safety, on that basis tl1e agency should be singling out minicars for concern. Tut, however, would require putting safety before political correctness" said Sam Kazman CEI' s general counsel and fuel economy standards uepert. (From a CEI press release-Competitiue Enterprise Institut.e http://tW-W.cei.cnx) D ED FACE DEPARTMENr • In the CORR Season Finale story in the November issue, ~ur ace correspondent, J. Preston Bradshaw mistakenly put his son's name in where it didn't belong. Fourth column, first line should read: Tommy Bradley came in fifth. Our apologies to Tommy Bradley for this error. r"'ORR BANQOEr • CORR will celebrate the 2003 season with their annual ban \.....,quet in Green Bay, Wisconsin on Saturday, November 1. According to tl1eir press release the drivers in the 2003 CORR Series will collect over a million dollars in purse, contingency and year end monies. 76 out of 80 drivers in the eigh~ CORR Lucas Oil Series divisions will qualify fo.r the year end bonus purse. To qualify, a driver who finishes among the top 10 in the final points standings must compete i~ six of seven events. In 2002, 74 out of 80 drivers were eligible. Driver participation in the sixth season of Championship Off Road Racing reached 155 drivers in the eight divisions. Of the 155 drivers, 47 competed in the tl1ree Pro Series Divisions, while 108 drivers joined tl1e five Sportsman Divisions. Among the 155 drivers, 24 were rookies. The drivers in tl1e 2003 series represented 22 different states and Canada. F~lHER & SoN 1N THE BAJA 1000 • Larey Ragland is really excited. He has raced tl1e Baja l()(X) 23 times but this year Larry's son, Chad, will be co-driving with his father. TI1ey will be driving a Chevy Silverado and Larry will tum over the driving chores to Chad in the middle section of the race. They will pre-run the course six times before race date. Good luck to lA-rry and Chad.

• WHIPLASH SNOWFLAKE Fuentes Muscles His way To Victory By Mike Del Col Photos: Trackside Photo There was no stopping him, Caesar Fuentes great and nasty looking Chenowth ran fast and trouble free to the overall at Snowflake. Caesar Fuentes once again comes all the way from Juarez, Mexico to earn an overall victory at the Whiplash Snowflake. Cae-sar is still the man to beat ip. Whip-lash, and pounded his message home with a dominating victory at Snowflake. Caesar's overall win-ning time to the checkers was 2:29:04. Caesar's yellow Chenowth is a beast, and ran very well all week-end. Class 1 had some quality en-tries, but attrition ·kept anyone from challenging Caesar. Pakio Trans, and Fox Motorsports sup-port Fuentes. Reuben Wood was close at times, dueling with Caesar for three laps, fighting a pesky ig-nition problem the whole way. Reuben's Ford 302 powered Jimco would run well for a while, and then completely shut off without warning. Reuben's crew wrestled this problem for several laps be-fore calling it quits. Geiser Broth-ers, Wood Brothers Hay Com-pany, and Wood c;rop Dusting sponsor Reuben. Mike Williams was able to complete a lap, before his Mazda powered Meco also had electrical problems, putting an end to his day. The R:1cing Vesterdahl brothers also had a tough day, breaking all of the bolts off of their steering box, and spending a good chunk of the afternoon watching the race from the cool pines of the course. They were unable to make repairs and finish. Steve Labrie got TRANSAXLE. ENGINEERING, INC.

Mark Ottersberg drove his Chevy hard and it paid off, he bested the other eight entries in Class 8 and was fourth overall to boot. a surp~ise on Lap 1, while follow-ing Vesterdahl and Williams. Steve was the third car in the train when he got "punted" off the course by the hard charging Fuentes. The im-pact was so severe, it crushed the rear cage to the water pump, and ended his race by sending him off coorse, and thru the trees. Luckily Steve and his co-driver were unin-jured. Keep an eye on the Wood Brothers. They recently acquired Sean Sessa's Jimco Class 10 ma-chine, and will likely campaign both cars wherever they go. Randy Miller earned a victory in Class 10, and second overall in his air cooled Chenowth complet-ing his task in 2:35:42.

The Randall Racing team also had some tough luck. The Randall boys had their oil pressure fall off to zero, and the temperature sky-rocket on the second lap. They shut it down, and called it a day,. Richard Franklin literally flew his Jeep to the combined Class 317 win at the Whiplash Snowflake, he won by 20 minutes. Milt Moore was the only 5-1600 to take the green. The new Foddril built car ran very well, just out of the garage, so to speak. The Pro Class 5 guys had a great turnout with Tommy Brown leading them to the checkers. Seems nowadays you can't find a race with more than a couple cars in Class 5 but Snowflake brought five of them to the green flag. Tommy had a good race, and squeaked out a win by just over a minute with a five lap time of 2-:43:23. It was fast enough for a fifth OA position as well. Tommy was chased hard, and Matt Engstler brought up second place, and was the only other car in the class to finish all five laps. Engstler was good· for sixth OA as well..

Despite that fact, "Donkey" raceq to second in class, and third overall. Miller's air cooled powerplant was just that much better suited fo the technical course. Jarrett Lenley snuck up on the competition with his quiet Class 10 machine for a fine third place fini;h. The rest of the class didn't fare so well. Ed Beard was on a mission early, and was the Class 10 leader on corrected time when disaster struck. While pass-ing Class 1600 veteran Bill Krug, Ed's Toyota powered machine made contact with Kruggy, acciden-tally driving over one of the front wheels on Krug's car at high speed. Ed went for a wild ride, violently rolling several times before com-ing to a stop. His crash sent him over a barbed wire fence, and back several rolls later without touch-ing the fence. Ed's race was over, but fortunately, he received only relatively minor injuries in what could have been a catastrophic accident. He received a broken wrist, a concussion, and a cut on his face that required several stitches. Taking every precaution, Ed was air-lifted to Scottsdale for treatment. Get well soon Ed, and hopefully we'll see you in action again when you recove·r. Other no-tables in the class were Todd Elam, who was racing a "new to him" Jimco. Charles Lathrem also made a rare appearance at Snowflake, but was sidelined with computer failure within a few miles of the start. The usually zippy Ja~es Mar-tin, fresh off of his big Mexico win, was out by Checkpoint 1 with un-known "problems. There was some great racing in the C lass 8 ranks, with Mark Otters berg racing to victory over a Page 10 quality field of fast trucks. Mark was fast enough to earn the fourth OA position in the race as well with his blistering five lap effort of 2:43: 15.

16TH TELSTRA RALLY AUSTRALIA 2003 Salberg Takes Australia Photos: Maurice Selden Petter Solberg and Philip Mills drove their Subaru lmpreza through every obstacle to win the Telstra Rally Australia. Unstoppable! Richard Burns has pulled further ahead again in the lead for the 2003 World Rally Championship. For the third time running he finished third overall, but this time behind Petter Solberg and Sebastien Loeb, who had carried out an incredible battle for the lead until the final day. Citroen finished with three cars in the top five and have drawn level with· Peugeot at the head of the manufacturer's series. Burns apart, Peugeot had a dis-appointing event·, starting with a major political argument before the start. World champion Mar-cus Cronholm had pulled into an early lead but then inexcusably slid off the road and witkdrew on account of the long delay. It was a remarkable rally for vehicle reli-ability: no factory car retired for reasons of mechanical trouble or driver errors. The PCWRC cat-egory was won by Martin Rowe who inherited the lead when Page 14 transmission trouble struck Marcos Ligato at the end of the first full day. Championship leader Toshihiro Arai started badly and retired on the second day, leaving only Arai and Rowe able to clinch the series at the fi-nal round, in Corsica. The tenth round of the 2003 FIA World Rally Championship was the final long-haul rally of the season. Considered a "smooth gravel" event, there were many de-tailed changes thi:s year, but essen-tially the character of the event, which is speed over uniquely dif-ficult driving coaditions created by ball-bearing type stories which proliferate the stages, remained unchanged. The event was held on a new date, the first weekend in September. A major organisation upheaval after last year's event meant there was a new Clerk of the Course and Chairman of the Organising Committee. Adrian Stafford, previously Deputy Clerk, assumed the posi:tion pre-viously held by Garry Connelly. There was a new rally headquar-ters at the Gloucester Park sta-dium, not 'the Sheraton Hotel. There was a new superspecial stage location, also at Gloucester Park, not Langley Park. Every stage but one was either new, changed or run in the opposite direction. There was, for the first time, a single service park location, there-fore no more servicing in Perth. The rally route was more con-tained than before which meant more stages could be run twice than previously, and to make this feasible special preparation work had been carried out on the for-est stages. This year the route did not go east to Muresk or down south to the Wellington or Brunswick stages. There were a to-tal of four superspecials run, once on the Thursday and Friday and then a double special stage on the Saturday evening, all at Gloucester Park.

It was ironic there were no full world championship Mitsubishis on this event. Austra-lia was the first foreign cour;_try in the world wher.e Mitsubishi went rallying, nearly 40 years ago, and one man who saw it happen, 74 year old Doug Stewart, who has recently retired from his Presi-dency of Ralliart Australia, has this year celebrated his personal half century in motor sport. He asked to be excused from attend-ing this year's Telstra Rally Aus-tralia.

Both Michelin and Pirelli now have standard methods of cutting out blocks, thereby reducing the amount of rubber which will be in contact with the ground. A Michelin spokesman explained "the aim is to increase the weight of the car on the points of impact, thus help-ing the tyre clear away the little stones on the surface".

Pirelli explained there were two challenges, firstly to find the grip and secondly also to have tyres which enabled the driver to place the car with precision. Their base tyre for this event was the KM type. This was the first time the rally had been run at this time of year, and teams had to nominate their tyre supply despite the unknown factors concerning the weather. It was not only a matter of knowing whether it would rain or not, but also how humid the air would be. Hu midiry overnight would make the ground stickier, and red uce the ball-bearing effect, signifi-cantly reducing the disadvantage of running first car on the road. There was increasing tension before the rally with the news that the FIA had decided to bypass their World Rally Championship Commission and asked the World Council members to vote on their package of measures for 2004, notably 16 rallies, reduced time frame and three half-day rather than full day events. A blanket vote for all the p.roposals, not piecemeal decisions. Return date for fax vote Monday after the _ event.

Tickets for spectators were sold out at around the 11,000 mark, sideshows holding the attentic;m of the crowds for several hours. The spirit was just as good as was customary at the old Langley Park venue. Fastest drive of the evening came from Petter Solberg overall. Marcos Ligato h eaded the PCWRC category while local Perth driver Dean Herridge was quickest overall in Group N. Overnight there was rain, not heavy but eiough to dampen the forest tracks and substantially re-duce the emphasis on the running order. "I still have to clean the roads" explained Richard Burns,· "but the disadvantage is not so bad. I am lying fourth overall, behind three other drivers for whom it is vitally important to win!". He was more concerned with the little time allowed .for cov-ering the road sections, "We did not have time. to change tyres round between.stages, and we had to go over the speed limits not to lose time·at the controls". Gron-holm, third car on the road, started off on the attack. After Stage 3, ·the second forest stage, he was 10.8 seconds in front!

In the -next group of three stages the sun came out, the tem-perature ·rose and the surfaces became drier. Good for Loeb who was on the attack and passed Solberg, bad for Burns who came back now 20 seconds behind third place Solberg. Gronholm was more than a quarter minute in front, despite a puncture on Stage 5. Martin was saying that all his notes were on e gear too slow, ·ex-cept for one.

VALLEY OFF ROAD RACING ASSOCIATION Hoedown In Hawthorne Text & Phows: Bubba Ray Boudreaux Sam Berri goes out for another lap, Sam won the Class 10 contest and the Class 1 battle and the overall as well. Once upon a time in this vasJ land of ours, men and women explored an unknown land against unknown odds. For most of them, this challenge was a success. In the spirit of the men and women who opened up the west, VORRA promoter Rich Klein spent a lot of sweat and I'm sure shed a little blood in his attempt to open up a new race course in the Hawthorne, Nevada area. Labor Day Weekend, 2003 marked his triumph over the challenge laid in front of him. Yes folks, the Valley Off Road Racing Association made their way Page 18 into Hawthorne, Nevada. The El Capitan Casino in Hawthorne was the gracious sponsor of the .300 mile battle on the dirt, in the silt and over the rocks. A new addition for Hawthorne was the entry of quad racers. While not an official race, but more of a test for VORRA, the quads were given two laps around the approximately 60 mile course to prove they were worthy of competing. With names like Troy Robinson and Class 7 legend Mike Koenig riding, this was a no-questions asked success. When the quads started out at 6 a.m., it was still fairly dark so they had to run with the lights for the first few miles. With the early starting time, this gave them plenty of time to make the attempt at the course cause at 9 a.m. sharp, they were done to make way for the trucks and buggies. In the end, the test proved to be a success. and the quads will be racing in VORRA in the future. As noted above, 9 a.m. was the start time for everyone else. All the quads had made the finish line and were off the track and it was now Ill l'di Dill or cers acers December 2003 Greg Hosman gets the green for another lap at Hawthorne, Greg took the Class 7 win with over 20 minutes in hand. Joel Melsheimer had a trouble free run in his Ford and swept the Class 8 contest at the Hawthorne outing. time to see what the 4-wheelers with sheet metal could do. The most talked about area of the course was the first 20 miles. Racers spoke volumes about this :irP.:i :is the silt covered most of it and for a lot of time, it meant a long hard day in the cockpit as they got slowed and bogged down by the bearing eating sand. After that, the course turned into somewhat of a race track with one Class 7 driver who races a Class 7S legal truck stating that in one set of rollers, he could get upwards to 70 miles an hour. CIASSl The lightning fast Class 1 cars were the first ones off the line and off into the vast desert. The points leader, the ever-present and quick Sam Berri led the charge of racers off the line with Mike Lehners pulling out a mere 30 seconds behind Berri. The Chevy-powered beast of Steve Sullivan was next, with Mike Haas, veteran Dennis Kordonowy and Ryan Sargent bringing up the rest of the field. The first lap proved to be real competitive as Lehners was able to wrestle the lead away from Berri, who fell to third behind Kordonowy. Less than two minutes separated the three cars and Sullivan was only about a minute behind Berri. The second lap proved to be crucial as Sullivan slowed considerablv. losing an hour to an unknown malady. Somewhere along the way, Kordonowy also fell victim to a mechanical failure which proved to be race end for him. Berri was a model in consistency as his second lap was only 13 seconds slower than his first, which enabled him to close to within 30 • seconds of the leader, Lehners. Ryan Sargent though was having problems. He fell behind far enough that he w~mld become a non-entity in the race and his only goal was to finish the four laps. Lehners was able to open up the gap between himself and Berri on the third lap. Haas was also falling back to the point where he would not be able to close the distance on the leaders and Suilivan, even though he was able to get back up to speed, he had lost too much time to be a contender. Lehners and Berri raced down to the wire on the last lap. Berri's lap time was a mere 22 seconds faster than Lehners and when the Continue~ on page 20 First place in the Class 9 contest went to Steve Souza in spite of a ve,y long second lap, he soldiered on to the win.

Ac Hawthorne though., the story was different as a total of six trucks made the field and almost became seven with a fancy First-Gen Chevy that wasn't quite ready co go.

Melsheimer posted a 1:09:05 lap time and his closest challenger was just over six minutes behind him; that being the Ford of Vierra. The surprise was Moss in the Bronco.

Pete Sohren had a new Geiser Brothers chassis, not quite finished, on display in their booth. Dean Hovey, Chuck's dad, was talking about their new TLR truggy, due to debut just a couple of weeks after the Off.Road Expo. There was lots to see and plenty to talk about. Doug Fortin, Sr. wa·s .worrying abo_ut next year's calendar. · He says that the first couple ofBITD races are so close to the rescheduled SCORE events that his shop will have a· problem getting ·everyone's transmission done in between races, and he thought other shops would be in the same boat. He was hoping for a longer stretch between the major events. SCORE racers were trying to pry the exact course of the upcoming Baja 1000 out of Sal Fish, but he wasn't talking. We talked to some of the.folks who had displays, ~d among them, Mike Cohen from Racer X. Cohen explained that this was his second year to display at the show. He said he's a wholesale distributor, and doesn't sell retail, but he comes to the Off Road Expo to help build brand recognition and to get a chance to talk to dealers he might not otherwise meet face to face. Cohen said that coming to the Off Road Expo is "educational" for him. Continued on page 24 The fourth annual Off Road Expc:P filled the aisles almopt from the moment of opening its doors.

"I learn about rock crawling and all that kind of stuff." He had his line of toys and collectibles on display along with the latest in fuel cells, OPS systems, . fire suits and other safety items. He says that displaying at the Expo brought him in touch with many potential new dealers, as well as being an enjoyable way to spend a weekend. Mike's exact words were "I love this show." Among the display of race and pre-runner parts, and beautiful cars, trucks, bikes and quads to enjoy in the great outdoors, there were also displays explaining the political aspects of the sport. Every association or organization that has ever worked to keep public lands open for off roaders was represented. Some had prize drawings to encourage membership, some had their best tcalkers there to help Off Road Expo attendees understand the politics of off roading, and all were hoping everyone would join up to help the fight. Amids( all these hard working folks we found a Ranger from the Los Padres National Forest who was trying to explain the necessity for the -• unpopular "Adventure Pass."

With Christmas coming up their products looked like a natural for stocking stuffers. The Four X Dr. booth, with its display of rock crawling related items, attracted an interested crowd eager to learn more about the fast growing facet of off-roading. At the Geiser Brothers booth, Rick told us that they've displayed their wares every year. They like to bring a different vehicle each time, and this year it was Sohren's Ford Trophy Truck. It's a three-seater, with the driver in the middle, and expects to debut in the early part of 2004, maybe at Laughlin.

FRT SUPERSTITION 250 · FUD'S LAST RACE Hovey Hustles To Win· By Judy Smith Photos: C&C Ra~e Photos Chuck Hovey drove his Raceco to the overall win as well as the Class 1 honors but he had to work for it, he had less than a minute at the end. · Chuck Hovey drove his Type IV powered Raceco to victory at the FRT Superstition 250 in mid-Octo-ber, not realizing he'd taken the checkered flag from Fud for the last time. Just five days later, Fud collapsed and died, victim of a massive heart attack. His death shocked the South-ern California off road community where he'd been universally admired for his commitmenr to rhe sport, and in particular, to his grassroots series. (Ed. Note: read more about Fud elsewhere in this issue.) The Superstition evenr, a night race, took place at the Plas-ter City East OHV area, on a 23 m ile long course. It was a fast truck, but a lack of wrnd let the dust hover, and slowed things down ·from time to time. Hovey had planned to debut his new TLR Truggy at this event, but an incorrect mixture of chemicals caused his fuel cell to delaminate and it leaked. So he decided to drive the Raceco, which he had there to pre-run with. The Class 1 cars started first with the 4 p.m. green flag, and Hovey, as last year's winner, was first on the road. His first lap turned out to be the quick rime of rhe day, at 20: 10. And when he came back around he was just eight seconds in front of Brian Ewalt, who was driv-ing Corky McMillin's V8 Chevy powered Chenowth. In third it was Andy McMillin, Scott's son, in his new-to-him V6 Toyota Camry pow-ered Jimco, recently purchased from the Myers family.

In fourth it was David Scaroni, racing the family's Ford Protruck in Class 1, and just a minute back. Missing for unknown reasons, was Tom Wood (brother to Reuben and Robert), who didn't start with his Ford pow-ered Jimco, even though he'd been there and running just a short time before the start. They came around a little slower on the second lap, as they ran into limited class cars and their dust, but were still in the same order, and still close. On the third lap it was still Hovey in front, and Ewalt second, but now Josh Waddell and Craig Corda had moved their TLR rruggy into third place, about 10 minutes back, and Andy McMillin had lost a lap with a fuel fi.lter problem that caused the car to quit. Scaroni had also lost a lap, and ran fifth, about eight minutes behind McMillin. Brent Miller had completed only .two laps and dropped out, his Ty IV powered Raceco sounding un-well. And Scott Young in his good-looking homebuilt truggy was also out after completing only one lap. Things looked the same at the end of the fourth lap, and there was just a minute and seven seconds separat-ing Ewalt from Hovey. They stayed just as close 1:hrough the fifth lap, and it was dark now. On the sixth lap Hovey lost his power steering. He also discovered that he'd forgotten to remove a bag of spare parts that he'd car-ried during his pre-run. He remem-bered it when it came apart and spare parts began rolling around under his feet. But the power steer-ing was what sent him into his pit. They couldn't fix it, but they cleared out the worst of the spare parts. At the end of the lap Ewalt led by four minutes, and Hovey was second. Corda and Waddell were third. McMillin fourth and the Scaroni truck fifth. Matt Scaroni was driving the dark laps. He had never raced much in the da:rk and wanted some practice in prepara-tion for the upcoming 1000, and he was also more or less checking our his recently lasered eyes. On rhe seventh lap Ewalt had a flat, and as he worked to replace it, Hovey went past him. That was the December 2003 " • I As usual, the 1/2-1600 class was hotly contested all the way but the gold medal went to Nick Tiedemann in his good looking Jimco. Mark McMillin drove his Ford to the Class 8 win, with daughter Macy making her debut, he took Class 8 by half an hour. first Ewalt knew about being in front of Hovey. It was so dusty on the course in the final three laps or so, because the wind died down, that virtually no one could see anything. So Hovey was back in front at"the end of the seventh lap,. He was, he. said, hitting "lots of things" because of his steering problem. But he kept the car together, and took the win, finishing just 54 seconds in front of Ewalt who made a determined charge on the last lap, but couldn't quite catch him. Waddell and Corda were third, about eight minutes later, and McMillin, saying his new car needs "more power" (he's been driv-ing his dad's V8), was fourth. In fifth ir was the Scaronis. In Class 5 Robert Stemke finished just six laps, running good consis-tent times all the way. Jeff Searle, a late entry, was apparently running in the same class, although for some reason he had a 5-1600 number on his car. In any case, since Searle com-Hector Salazar ran his Class 7 against the big engines in Class 8. He took the silver medal in his good looking Ford. ..

He was now the fastest 1600 car on the course. Skinner and Cordero were still fourth. Tiedemann took the win, by less than three minutes. McCallum was second, his dad and brother beam-ing with pride, and McMillin and Ickier were third, just 23 seconds later. In fourth it was Skinner and Cordero. Dorworth and Lawrence were fifth, followed in by Collins, and in seventh it was John and Robert Manring and Todd Wilcox, in their Raceco, saying they'd been lost and "doin' circles" in the dust.

In Class 5-1600 the only entry, the team of Crecencio Cortez and Jesse Lopez were leading the season points at the s.tart of the day, but ran afoul of a Class 1 car in the dust and that ended their day with only two laps completed. The racing was all over by nine o'clock, and Fud gathered up his flags and retired to his van. The next morning they had the usual "break-fast" award ceremony, with dough-nuts and coffee and lots of bench racing, before everyone headed for home. It was the last time most of them would see Fud. Five days later he collapsed while chatting with a neighbor, and he had died before the paramedics arrived. The McMillin Companies, spon-sors of the series for the past year, are currently working hard to assure that the year-end Dunaway Dash will take place as scheduled. This popu-lar race has alway~ been a favorite with the Fud racers and many once-a-ye:ir teams come out for it also. They've determined to have it as usual if at all possible. If it' can't be done, there will be some kind of in-formal memorial to Fud, either on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day.

t , . Santa Maria, CA -October 11, 2003. Twenty-four rally cars and 30 street cars met at Santa Maria Speedway for the Inaugural Perforce . Software Auto Sport Association, (NASA) as part of the California Rally Series (CRS). This first time event ran from noon to nearly 11 :00 p.m. and concluded the 2003 racing season for the track. (There are still several more CRS rallies on the calendar, however:) The rally sprint covered a 1.5 mile dirt road course that used the 1/3 mile oval, the inner pit area and the outer pit area as part of the cir-cuit. When darkness fell, only the grandstand lights were illumin'ated so the fans could see how rally driv-· ers race at night. The rally cross for street cars, which requires only seat belts and a helmet, was run on a much shorter, and slower, course us-ing the front straight of the oval and the inner pit area only. Fast man of the day was Tony Chavez, of Santa Fe Springs, whose total time for two daylight and two night time runs was 10 minutes, 24.8 seconds. Chavez, driving a Mitsubi-shi Galant sponsored by Condor in the Open Four Wheel Dr.ive divi-sion, beat ·out Carlos Narbais and Aaron aeng for the win. Laeng is assistant crew chief for Chavez and drove Tony's car. The Galant is pre-pared by Laengworks of Hesperia, CA Other class winners were: Narbais, in CRS GT, Kevin Kraack (sponsored by the local Saturn deal-ership and MAAudio.com), Perfor-n1a nce Stock, and Craig Hollingsworth of· Incline Village, · NV, in a Group 2/5 VW Getta GLi. 'Narbais was the only competitor to take advantage of an organizer-pro-vided option that allowed him to· enter in two classes and thus get twice the seat time and it showed -he was dubbed "Wild Man" by the an-nouncers for ·his dramadc power slides and incredible sideways driv-ing style. In the rally cross, current CRS points leader Georg·e Scott of Temecula won the Open Four Wheel Drive class with an overall fast time of two minutes, 8.5 seconds. Martti Silvola and Mike Croutcher placed second and third in the class. David Platt, of San Luis Obispo, fin-ished third overall and first in the Street Stock Four Wheel Drive divi- • sion in a Subaru WRX sport wagon -and he won with three passengers . in the car! Other class wins went to the Gravel Cr"ew's Rodney Wills in Open Two Wheel Drive and Justin Smith in Street Stock Two Wheel Drive. Bill Pinette, ofNipomo, was the only Mini Stock driver brave enough to bring his circle track Pinto, set up to ·rurn left, out to run the rally sprint course. After four runs Pinette was only four minutes and 24 sec-onds slower than overall winner Chavez. Unlike. the rally drivers, Pinette lacked navigator in the pas-senger seat (his Pinto doesn't have a passenger seat), so he had to driye the challenging 25-turn course from memory. In addition to the Rally Sprint Dusty Times and Rally Crqss, Perforce Soft-ware is a major sponsor of the Widget Rally Team. Widget co-driver, John Dillon, organized the event at Santa Maria Speedway.

If you missed it, too bad. If you were there you had a great time. The Radisson Hotel did a good job of providing the use of their parking lot; even had a bar set up in the display area with their own spe-cialty drinks. Great displays! F.A.I.R. wants-to thank all those that participated and made it such a success. PCI Race Radios had all their new GPS systems on their t~ble; . Kartek was showing off all of their new innovative equipment; Mickey Thompson Tires had their awesome lo_oking tires; F&l, Race Fuel was there; Jimenez Racing Engines had a. great looking 1600 engine just built fo~ the 1000 on display; Fox Shocks;-Trackside Photos; Dirt Bagz; Dezert Calendars. Thank you all. Dec.ember 2003 There were also sonw slick race cars on display. Dale Ebberts brought his Class 1 car. Mark Weyrich with the TSCO car was there. Bill Markel also had his Class 1 ride with him. Chris Bowman and Art Savedra brought their cars. Baja Shops displayed an awesome four-seat Pre-runner. Scott _Stein-berger drove his beautiful Pre-run-ner Trophy Truck in. 'Imagine, a street legal Trophy Truck.' No, you · can't imagine that, you've got to see it. It's a knockout! By the time you read this the Baja 1000 will have been run and you probably know how it came out. F.A.I.R. is happy that they helped 9ut in this small way. Thanks, Sal, for bringing this to our meeting. It looks-like a couple of our mem-bers are moving up in class for next year. Rumor has it that Dan Folts sold his 9 car and is building a 1/2-1600. The competition is that class just keeps getting tougher. Greg Blakeman is jumping from 1/2-1600 to Class 1. (That is if his wife Jana ever gets her new kitchen completed!) Greg and his lifelong friend, Jerry Longo, are in a tight battle for the M.O.R.E. Class 1600 championship so he has at least one more race before he'll find out what real speed is all about. The end of the year is always a -very busy time. There are at least three races for F.A.I.R. The Baja 1000 and MD R's season ender are both on the same weekend, and the M.O.R.E. fi-nale is on December 6th . _ On top of that, there are the club . elections and the Annual Dinner com-ing up on December 3rd. Don't miss the dinner. We always have a great time and usually there is a gigantic raffle with · a lot of neat prizes. Check the website for more information. _ . _-.,,., . Page 31

► " THE ROAD TO LA PAZ AKA: Ivan Stewart's Off Road Legends ProTruck Show By Byrle Moore Photos: Foto-Baja-Mex Rick Johnson was the big winner in the Pro Truck main event, the racing was hot and heavy and the fans had a lot to watch. What if they gave two hurricanes, in three weeks, and no one came to watch? Well, if you put Isabelle on stage first and then follow up with someone named Marty and then conduct a short course race as the third act, people might begin to pay attention. That's what happened in La Paz, Baja Sur, the weekend of 27/28 Septem.ber 2003. We are not trying to imply that Norman Cecena and Ivan Stewart, were going to try and produce a bigger show than Mother Nature but, for a few hours on Sunday, it was close. Cecena, Red Duck Racing, and someone named Stewart were the promoters/competition for Mother Nature. The track was first constructed in late August. Commence Act 1. Isabelle makes a brief, but furious appearance, the first week in September and a week's worth of construction was. blown our to sea. Back to the track, haul some more dirt (you remember dirt), this is, after all, off road racing; and the other guy, Marty, makes his entrance. With less than a week before the third act the stage had to be rebuilt again. In fact, they were s.till moving some ot t·he sets around Saturday afternoon and evening. But as son1eone once said, "The Show Must Go On!" Have I mentioned that Ivan "Iron Man" Stewart brought nine Protrucks and all of their drivers and crews down to play a supporting role? More on that, in a minute. Have I mentioned dust? More on that in a minute too.

Check with somebody who has drive the Baja 1000, for exact confirmation, as to the distance. Anyway, it's not what you would call a short jaunt. You can also ask· anyone who trailered a racing rig down Highway 3. And this through miles and miles of the aftermath of the two hurricanes mentioned above. In some places the highway's blacktop had also been washed/ swept our to sea. Minimum of three days and up to a week if you start in Montana, right Mr. Hogan? On Friday afternoon a police escorted ·parade, of the Protrucks, went from the host hotel, the Hotel Marina, down the Malecon and out to the track about ten miles north of the city. Maybe parade is a little too mild a description as to what took place. Stand on the curb and listen as several, multi-hundred horsepower trucks pass by. Let's try, "Thunder Alley"? Anyway the residents were clearly reminded that Act 3 of our little play, was going to happen come hell or high hurricane. Contingency was set up where the city of La Paz holds their Expo de Construcion de La Paz and it opened for business Saturday morning. There was a second, Protruck parade, from the hotel to that spot and the rest of the day was spent registering and inspecting all of the race entrants. Thousands of soon to be fans and spectators got close up looks at. the race vehicles, had posters and tee shirts and arms autographed. The kids got to meet a lot of the drivers up close and personal. There was a second round of practice Saturday afternoon/ evening. There were some modifications to the twice built track and everyone went home to catch some shuteye or in some cases to repair and continue to modify race vehicles. · Sunday morning, a few of the hardier souls made their way out to the track for a few more December 2003 Jose de Jesus Flores creates a nice dust storm as he charges to the Open Class win at the La Paz contest. practice laps. All total there were 66 local entries, one entry from Pacific Beach, another from Las Vegas, NV, and of course, the Protrucks. With the exception of the Protrucks some classes were combined and the winners .of those heats were awarded class championship trophies and monies. Did I say anything about · dust? · At this race the Trophy Trucks and 8 Trucks were first out. At the end of the first lap the new black Ford of Erneste Cervantes had charged into the lead with locals Rody Amaya, Francisco Monroy, Martin Avendano and semi-local Tom Bradley, Sr. close behind in the dust. Have I mentioned the dust? Okay, okay, the dust. -Remember we have just been through two major hurricanes and nearly any and all of any type of earth moving equipment had been put into play in the ·clea n up. Water tankers included. Well, we all know that if you pile up a lot of dirt and then run trucks and stuff through it at speeds of up to a hundred miles an hour it will create dust. This is the dust yotJ will hear all the drivers, fans, historians and reporters talk about. Red Duck Racing had lots of equipment laid on for this race but with the advent of lzzie and Marty nearly all that equipment had been requisitioned for clean up. So yes, th~re was dust, lots of dust. Back to racing, for a moment, these high horsepower monsters, create lots of noise, lots of dust and lots of viewing enjoyment for the fans. There were several small collisions at different spots on the course. Difficult to see the other guy in all that dust. Anyway, Bradley and Amaya went at each other for five exciting laps. And Tom was finally able to get past Rody but, his engine overheated, and he came up short. Meanwhile Cervantes in his 8 truck blew a piston and after the rest ·of the dust had cleared from these class heats and after several bump and runs and some other shenanigans Francisco Monroy took the gold, Martin Avendano the silver and Amaya hung in for the bronze. In the Open, or Class 1 fest, it was all the locals going at each other. Leads changed hands numerous times and there were lots of hits and near misses here too. Jose de Jesus Flores outlasted the elements and the competition and took first. Second place went to Flavio Navarro, and the third place went to Enrique Zazueta Jr. Classes 4, 5 and 7 were combined and Victor Cecena jumped out to an early lead. The Class 7s were closing and Matt Carter's Ford Ranger was finally able to get to the front after struggling with electrical problems most of the weekend. -Carter was running on 011ly four or five cylinders but passed the last 6f the Class 7 tnirks when it rolled on the last lap. Victor Cecena (the promoter Norman's son) eventually took the checkered flag for first at1d the combir1ed class win. Car.ter, now of Carter Mountain Sports, took second and was the Class 7 overall money winner, and And, ea Tomb a driving another 7 truck was awarded the bronze. Super 1600 was another local caballo class. In this contest they grouped the 1/2-1600 and 5-1600 fogether. They passed each other, they humped into each other, they fought the good fight but when the dust had cleared (you remember the dust?) Navarro had outlasted the Moncayos' and took first spot. Carlos was second and Jaime held on for third. When this super competitive class was on course the fans were on their· feet, cheering their particular favorite on . .

.. CODE MANGIAMOS 300 Carrera del centenario By Byrle Moore Photos: Foto-Baja-Mex Mark Weyhrich had a great race, first Class 1, first overall and a pretty good idea of some of the 1000 course. - . - . Elias Canchola drove his good looking Ford pickup to the gold medal in Class 8, seen here-at desert speed. The next to the last race, of the CODE season, is sort of a practice/pre-run for the last race of the season. And since part of the Baja 1000 is going to be going where it is mapped for 2003, a few entries may have been looking for an October check of the scenery. Whatever the case, 146 intrepid souls went half way to San Felipe or down to Highway 3 on a course that will mirror some of the 1000 roads and will definitely show the way for CODE's last race of the season, which runs from Ensenada to San Felipe, in December. The weather cooperated just fine foT a fall day in the Gus Vildosola shared the drive with son Gus, Jr. and between them they took the Open Truck Class by almost two hours. Eli Yee took the Class 10 win by a bunch, he was second overall, only eight minutes away from first to the finish. Baja. Not too bad, a breeze here and there to clear some of the dust, but this wasn't a smooth road south. Which is more than indicated by the attrition rate. 146 starters and on"tv 67 made it back to the checkered flag for times. I drug my calculator out and that left 79 or about a 65% attrition rate, of those intrepid souls, and their vehicles, left out there in the wilds, somewhere. Last report was that everyone did finally make it back even if they had to be towed, trailered, or pushed. In other words no new obstacles on the track, just the Baja's finest silt, and dust, and washes, and rocks, and silt, and rocks, and dirt, and ??? An early morning change, this year, was the escorted parade from contingency. They left from downtown Mexicali, where the Major of Mexicali, Lie. Jaime Diaz Ochoa gave the ceremonial green flag to the racers as part of the city's Centennial Celebrations. It was about eight miles out to the start line. Lots of people probably became fans after following the parade route. Joe Heger crossed the border to take the Class 5 win in his good looking car, Joe was fourth overall at the finish. The fairly close battle for 1600 honors went to Leonardo Navarette, he won by 10 minutes and was sixth overall as well. By the way, contingency was still in the process of being set up when a small dust devil/ cyclone/ mini-tornado, decided to pay a visi't. Eight or nine tents and displays including one of the CODE regi.stration tents, felt the little breeze, which carried one tent over the fence and in to the middle· of the Friday afternoon traffic.

Ricardo Malo of two-wheel fame had his first try at four wheels and did just fine aside from a few blown tires he was in at 5:24:13 for third. Barragan and Malo are both out of Mexcali. Ten Class 8 trucks were out the gates next but only two of them managed to make it back for completed times. Elias Canchola Mexicali, held it together for a 6:27:42 and first place Ivan Montijo Sonoyra Sonora, was the only other finisher, his time 8:41:42. Reny Canela out of Indio, took third, Juan Carlos Lopez Tecate was awarded fourth and Gabriel Arce Ensenada, fifth. Lots of broken stuff in the Class 8 ranks, bur there will be another day. Joe Heger over from Imperial had another mostly uneventful <la¥ and a clean run for first, with a time of 4:48:49. He was the only Class 5 finisher. Second went to Jorge Delgado down from Oceanside, third to Gerardo Gonzalez, Valle Las Palmas, fourth to Renne Labrada Mexicali and a fifth place tie awarded to Michelle Gastelum, San Diego and Jose Guadalupe Collins, Mexicali. Leonardo Navarrete, Mexicali, his time 5: 15:32, headed Class 14/2-1600: Miles Wyatt Imperial second ten minutes back with a 1 Dusty Times 7

r Dan Street came over from San Diego, had a few slow spots on the Throwing some dust, Ricardo Cons drove to a nice second place in Second spot on the podium in Sportsman Class 18 went to Abraham course but managed a second place in the 7S contest. the Sportsman Class 14, second overall in Sportsman. Lartundo, he had some problems but finished well. 5: 2 5: 2 9 and third to Bill ==::;:::;:;:::;:;;::;::;:::;:;:~;;,-:;;.;.;;;;;r~;.;;;;=;;==.;=;:============,-cir=:;;;;;:;....,.;;;;;;;;;;;;;~;;;;;a;~;:=;a:.;;,;;;;;;;;;;;;;;iiie-~r==;.=;:;:===;;;;;:;;;;;;:;.,;;,;.;;;.,-Hanson over from Yuma, AZ in at 5:33:29. Roberto Romo was fourth with a 5:58:19 arrd Federico Regala, Mexicali, fifth in at 6:01: 14. Federico is the Overall points leader and managed to finish the race even after a roll-over and a couple of flats. Other class finishers were Cesar ·Cons, Mexicali; Alfredo Lugo, Mexicali; Adolfo Ayala, Tijuana; Eric Duran, Tecate; Pedro Morquecho, Mexicali and Ray Santos Del Prado, Mexicl1i. I guess if you want to build a car for this race, 1/2-1600 would be a good choice? Eleven out of 15 finishers. Class 7 had 16 trucks line up for the green but only three made it to the black and white." Most of the past class winners/finishers were nowhere to be seen. The "300" was very, very difficult for the Class 7 trucks. Victor Herrera, Tijuana took the gold with a time of 5:25:04, Mario Salcido, Mexicali, silver with 7:43:45 and the bronze to the only other finisher-Hector Salazar rolled it with an 8:58:25. Just under the nine hour wire. Shall I name the other 13? No, not this time, I think. I said earlier that you might want to build a 1.2-1600 car for the race? Well, if not a 16 car, another choice might be Class 5-1600. All those bugs. In this largest class 19 started and an even dozen made it home with Dusty Times Class 7S was a battle for a while but when the chips were all in the pot it was Sergio Duron taking the win. ti m e·s. Miguel Ros ales, Ensenada outlasted the field with a winning time of 5:55:39. Second went to another driver from Ensenada, Daniel Lopez 6:09: 23 and third to Eric Muller Pazos, Mexicali, 6 : 13 : 14. Javier Medina, Mexicali went fourth with a 6:17:58 and another three minutes bac k was Mario Gutierrez, San Diego, 6: 17:58. Class 15 was headed by Juan Guevarra Calexico, with a 6: 10:45. Tfie second spot went to Jose Gutier·rez, Tijuana, 6: 19 :58 and the · bronze to J. Hector Quintero, Mexicali, 6:42:50. Ish Sanchez, El Centro and Evaristo Nunez, Mexicali were the other two drivers with times. Sanchez went 6:52:56 and Nunez had a 7:20:20. Another large Safari outing was headed by Josue Delgado, Mexicali, in a brand new car, 6:48: 19 second place to Luvan Voelker, 7:04:31 and third to Manuel Robles, Tijuana, 7:41: 16 . Raul Maya, David Morquecho, and Jose Giuseppe Cervantes all made it to the green flag back in Mexicali: This was another very good and a very hard fought race put on by the CODE people. Most of these guys and gals race out of their own garages and out of their own wallets. They are all looking for help and sponsorship but, just continues to get a little bigger every outing. The points race winners, • December 2003 Hardly looking the worse for wear; Gilberto Affeola drove his great looking bug to first in Class 11. for the year, may well come down to that last race in December, it being the CODE/Record Race Ready 27 5 which will be held 12-14 December 2003.
