/j.ea.n. eaLvi.n. ~Ae w cu Off cft.gad. <flg.ci.n.a!I cfldt <f 'Cien.d. '' f J. , What do you call a person who has been actively involved with the sport of off road racing for almost thirty years? Crazy, ignorant, a glutton for punishment, a masochist, any of the above? Well, I guess you would have to say a bit of all of them, but that's what makes Jean Calvin unique in this sport. She was sort of conned into the sport in 1969 and it certainly took hold of her. It became her greatest passion in life, the participation, the information she is able to disseminate to the people, the love of racing, the love of driving, the peopl~ involved in the sport, but mostly it is the compel-ling urge to succeed, to overcome the obstacles that arise in front of her and overcome them she does. Never known as a quitter, Jean attacked the sport of off road racing with vigor, finding a great outlet for her competitive spirit, racing not only against some other driver, but against the elements themselves. There were days (and long nights) when the temperature was in three digits, when the silt was so thick you could never even see the hood of the car, when the snow was so deep you couldn't find the race course, when your crew stood out there like frozen fools, listen-ing for "Their" engine, and then watching their driver plow on by, and Jean was one of those drivers, either freezing or sweating or choking or being blinded in the dust and in spite of it all, having the best time in the world because you were racing, off road racing, and there was still one lap to go, or 300 miles to go, it didn't mattt!r·, you were where you belonged and you were putting forth your best ef-fort, that too was Jean at all times. Now mind you, Jean wasn't the only driver out there having all that fun, she was one of maybe 450 to 500 active drivers in those days, but she was one of the few women racing the de~ert and she did her best to beat everybody else out there. Jean raced sports cars with the SCCA for many years before entering the off road world. She had an Austin-Healy Sprite, which was near and dear to her heart and even though it was known as a miserable ill-handling car, she raced it for years, competing against mostly men and refusing to enter the "Women's Races", racing iIJ.-stead against the good ole boys, who detested her when she beat them to the checkered flag. Jean had her share of accidents and flips, including one five time end over end at Santa Barbara; it destroyed the car (except for the roll bar) and Jean ended up with a broken nose and a severely wrenched shoulder. However, as soon as possible an-other Sprite was built and she was at it again. Jean entered the off road world when she did an article on Les Choate, own~r of Les's Auto Salvage. Les was involved in the fledg-ling sport of off road racing and offered Jean and her husband a ride in a "Burro" (state of the art for the time) in the upcoming Baja 500 and except for losing a steering box it was a very successful race. Jean kept running with Les's Auto Salvage Team, sharing the driving with Les and his son Eddie in many races over the next few years, until the "F" bug bit, in this case "F" stands for Funco and that was the beginning of part two for Jean in off road raci_ng. Jean made a deal with Gil George at Funco and a brand new single seater was born, a car that was raced to death but came through the flips and the crashes without too much long term damage. Jean raced the little Funco, mostly in Class 9, then in 1600 and for the most part, enjoyed every minute of it. Lots of help came to her through Dick McCool and Jerry Lawless who' always made sure the car was up to par and both these guys shared the driving chores with Jean on numerous_occasions. We are unable to count the times Jean has taken the green flag in off road, but racing full time for too many years to mention with SCORE, SNORE, WRA. ARVRA, and many many other sanction-ing bodies, she has had plenty of seat time in the desert. Jean had worked for Peterson Publishing back in the sports car days, then put out SCORE News for Sal Fish for some time but in December, 1983 the first issue of Dusty Times hit the presses and the rest is history. Jean knew that the sport of off road racing needed an unbiased journal of the happenings in the desert racing community and Dusty Times was the answer. With help from her husband, Brad Goodrow, Don Goodrow and Jerry Lawless, Dusty Times was born and became another consuming passion in Jean's life. Jean continued racing and publishing Dusty Times with Judy Smith covering some· events, and it wasn't too long before Jean and Dusty Times were becoming the voice of off road racing. Dusty Times was soon covering rallying in Europe and Africa through Martin Holmes and the Australian races were covered by Darryl Smith and Mick Myers. Jean was badly injured in a Baja 500 race some years ago, her racing activities were brought to a sudden stop for a time, but her determination soon had her back covering the races and reporting on the racers she loved so well. Jean left this earth of ours on March 31, 1997. She enjoyed every minute she spent racing, covering the races and, above all, publishing Dusty Times. Jean was blessed with the willpower, the guts and the determination to never give up, she worked the races and the paper in spite of the pain she lived with most days and was always amply rewarded when some racer thanked her for putting their picture in the paper. Jean was inducted into the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2004, a fitting tribute to a woman who lived and loved off road racing for more than 30 years. Jean really was a champion!

Trail Notes ... WEDDING BELLS -Just received a wedding announcement from Jeff Lothringer and Shana Kelly. They are going to tie the knot in Baja on June 17, 2006. Our congratulations to you both, may your union be long and full of love. mUND 2, 2006 SCORE DESERT SERIES - A Race-record eld of nearly 360 includes 70 racers with combined 155 lass wins in Saturday's 20th Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250. Helping celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 desert race they are heading to Mexico this week along with of thousands of spectators looking for an early 'spring break' in Mexico's majestic Baja California peninsula. Round 2 of the six-race 2006 SCORE Desert Series will be held Saturday in the quaint fishing village of San Felipe, 120 miles South of the U.S. border at Calexico, Calif., on the eastern side of the peninsula, alongside the picturesque azure waters of the Sea of Cortez. Competing on a challenging 240.34-mile rock-shrouded, silt-laden desert course, entries from 20 States, Canada, Colombia, England and Mexico will compete in 24 Pro and 5 Sportsman classes for cars, trucks, motorcycles and ATVs. The green flag will drop at 6 a.m. on Saturday for the motorcycle and ATV classes, followed by the car and truck classes two hours later at approximately 8:30 a.m. The field includes eight of the winners in the 12-year history of the featured SCORE Trophy-Truck division for hi-tech, 800 horsepower, unlimited production trucks along with six of the last winners in the unlimited Class 1 for open-wheel desert race cars. Also among the entry list are 13 of 19 overall car and truck class winners in this race, including seven of the last 10. "This mammoth field will produce a fitting tribute for the 20th anniversary of the Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250," said Sal Fish, SCORE President/CEO just prior to leaving Monday to complete final course preparations. "We have the world's best desert racers heading to San Felipe for what should be a stern test for both man and machine. It's a great honor for SCORE to have this many entries and we look forward to welcoming racers from all over the U.S. and several foreign countries. The SCORE Baja experience is one like none other in all of motorsports." A cross-over driver entered in this year's race is Jamie Galles, Albuquerque, N.M ., in Class 8. With limited previous SCORE racing experience, Galles, whose family was a long-time Indy Car team owner, has driven in both the Trans Am and old Toyota Atlantic racing series. Johnny Campbell's seven wins on motorcycles leads the group of multiple-class winners in San Felipe along with six-time winners Jim O'Neal, Danny Ledezma (Class 5-1600) and Eric Solorzano (Class 11). Five-time class winners in the field are Eric Fisher, Curt LeDuc and Rob MacCachren while racers with four class wins each are John Griffin, Steve Hengeveld, brothers Ed & Tim Herbst, Donald Moss and Larry Roeseler. O'Neal, who races in the age-group motorcycle classes 40 and 50, has won six times in five years, with his multi-rider teams winning both Class 40 and Class 50 last year. Don Moss has won Class 3 for four straight years while capturing their respective classes for the last two years have been Rich Severson (Class 7SX), Tom Brown (Class 7), Fisher (Class 9) and Mexico's Gerardo Rojas (Class 30). Overall, 14 class winners from last year are back to defend their titles and another four of last year's winners have entered different classes this year. The start and finish line area for the extended loop, point-to-point course will once again be the landmark San Felipe arches on Highway 5 on the outskirts of San Felipe. All vehicles will have a 10-hour time limit in the elapsed time race and vehicles will start in 30-second intervals. Pre-race festivities at the Tecate SCORE San Felipe 250 will include the colorful SCORE Midway and tech inspection on the Malecon beachfront in downtown, alongside the peaceful waters of the Sea of Cortez from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Friday. At 9 p.m. on Saturday, the awards celebration will be held in front of The Beachcomber Night Club on the Malecon.

~IRl\11:ll~ PARKER 425 RACING ASSOCIATION Herder And Melton Get It Done By Judy Smith Photos: Trackside Photo Robby Gordon had a great day, he drove his trick Hummer to the Trick Truck Class win, had a trouble free day, finishing 5th overall. PARKER, AZ: John Herder and Steve Melton, always quick, but finding it tough to get to the finish recently, put together three good laps at the Best In The Desert sea-son opener, and took the overall win in their Chevy powered J imco. The event, the biggest ever for BITD, with 183 racers, was head-quartered at the Blue Water Casino. It consisted of three laps (for most classes), each 133 miles long, mov-ing through such familiar points as Mineral Wash, Osborne Wash, Shea Road and Graham Wells. The start was right in town, on California Street, and the finish was along the river, just east of the Blue Water's docks. There are still enough of the old familiar landmarks to make this a nostalgic weekend for old time rac-ers, and, indeed, many of them show up, some to race, and some just to enjoy old memories. There were no bikes or quads at this event, because the BITD gives them a race of their town, on essen-tially the same course, a couple of weeks before this one. The BITD doesn't mix the bikes and quads with cars and trucks on a loop event. The BITD held their popular Time Trials two days before the race, to determine the start order of the fastest 20 race cars. Anyone can run in the time trials, but only the first 20 get a big advantage. They get to start at the front of the pack, one minute apart. That one minute can make a big dlfference in the early stages of a race. The rest of those who ran the Time Trials start at the front of their class, in order of "qualifying" speed. The inherent problem with the Time Trials is that, inevitably, someone breaks his car and never makes it to the start line. Others may do damage that means a lot of work for the pit crew to get it back into racing condition, but in spite of those dangers, most of the racers in the Trick Trucks and Class 1500 are very enthusiastic about the concept. The night before the race, at the Drivers' Meeting, Cliff Irey, of Ford Motors, made a special presentation Gustavo Vildosola Jr. and Bryan Freeman had a wonderful day, They took the Pro Truck win by six minutes in their Toyota. to Rob MacCachren. In recognition of the honor accorded MacCach-ren when he was named to the "first team" of the American Auto Rac-ing Writers and Broadcasters Asso-ciation (AARWBA) for 2005. He presented Rob with a plague'd let-ter signed by Raj Nair, Executive Director of Body on Frame Plat-forms, and William C. Ford, Jr., Chairman and CEO of Ford. And racing technology took an-other step forward; with 50 cars and trucks equipped with the lritrack sat-ellite tracking system. This system al-lows both pit crews and friends and fans at home to follow the progress of the racer around the track sim-ply by watching their computer screen. A big screen was put up in the main lobby of the Blue Water and fans could watch various cars (or, more accurately, the symbols of the cars) as they moved along a rep-resentation of the track. One unique feature signals headquaters when a vehicle is stopped for a period of time, and another signals when it has tipped or rolled over or has hit some-thing with a hard jolt. In the interest of safety, these systems are expected to gradually become required equip-ment for all BITD race cars. The weather was perfect for the spectators, with a cool morning, but clear sunshine and the temperature in the 80's. Buttherewasn'tenough breeze to suit the racers, and it was a dusty race. One racer told us that he had to catch other cars in the "rough, twisty stuff" or else it was impossible to pass. Others talked about "follow the leader", or "too dusty to pass". The infield "short course" sec-tion, which led the cars through a series of tight turns, moguls and fly-ing jumps, was longer this year, and some said, more fun. Called the "py-thon", it entertained the spectators hugely, and they weren't more than ten minutes from downtown Parker. The main pits were lined up in a long semicircle, all along the outer perimeter of the python, so spectators could watch the pit crews at work also. All in all, a nice setup. They could send a buddy to McDonald's to bring back lunch and the burger~ would still be warm. Almost immediately after the race started on the pavement, the cars made a left turn onto a dirt road and went right into the python, be-fore getting onto the desert part of the course. This could spell disaster for a racer who was all pumped up with adrenalin. This meant that the three-lap cars actually ran the py-tho11 _ three times, at the beginning of eacp. lap, and then on the last lap they would tum right and head down to the finish line on a sepa-rate short section of dirt road, be-fore getting to the main pit/ python area. The actual finish was along-side the river, close to the Blue Wa-ter beach area. Larry Roese/er flew his Ford to the Class 7200 win, he finished 11th overall and more than three hours ahead of his competition. Randy Miller took the Class 10 win in his Jimco, but it was close, he only had 34 seconds in hand at the finish. Herder was the first driver off the line, having been quickest in the Time Trials. It gave him a real advantage to have an entire lap dust free. All told, there were 34 of the unlimited class cars (Class 1500), but five of them disappeared on the first lap. The Wood brothers, Robert and Reuben, lost their motor, and Danny, Dale and Torn Ebberts had a trailing arm come off their car. At the front of the pack it was Herder leading in his LS6 powered Jimco, but he had 13 minutes at Check C.

The Trick Truck started up at the front of the pack - there were five of them right behind Herder, and then it was Weyhrich, and another three Trick Trucks. But this time, for what-ever reason, they didn't seem to be able to stay up front. At the end of the first lap Jesse Jones, who'cfbeen third.off the line, had the lead in the Trick Truck class, and was second on the road. Com-ing up to the big jump in the "py-thon" he decided to showboat a little, radioed his crew, "Watch this, I'm gonna go big". He went big all right, onto his nose and almost over. His crew was horrified, but he kept it on its wheels and all was seemingly o.k. Behind him about two minutes, there was a trio on the same minute: Drew Belk and Marty Maine had a good run, they took the Class 5 contest in their Jimco, they had more than three hours on their competition. Gary Dircks in a Ford, Garron Cadiente, Ford, and Andy McMil-lin, Chevy. Then came Robby Gor-don in his Hummer, another seven minutes back, not looking as aggres-sive as usual. He was on the same minute as Curt LeDuc in his Ford Class 8 truck, which is being cam-paigned as a Trick Truck this year. On the second lap Gordon moved into the lead. He had just a1 minute on Mike Voyles in a Ford. Then it was Pete Sohren, Ford, and Mile Childress and Steve Hengeveld, Ford, on the same minute. LeDuc was now welding on a broken tie rod, McMillin had lost a tire, and then a rear end, and was out, Jones had a leaky oil cooler line that threw oil on the motor and caused his ac-cessory belts to fly off. He'd stopped for a fix at Pit 2 and lost about 18 minutes. Kevin McGillivray had moved his Chevrolet up into fifth. Sohren had flattened a tire on the first lap and had lost about 10 min-utes trying to get it off the wheel. Childress and Hengeveld, winners of last year's Baja 1000 on a Honda bike, were both in their truck. Childress drove the first lap and a half, and was now riding while Hengeveld drove. It was a borrowed ride, thanks to the generosity ofJesse Jones. Jones had bought it when he thought his own new truck wouldn't be completed on time for something, some time ago. It was actually John Grant Fluegge rolled on lap 1 but he was away again rapidly, took the Class 1/2-1600 win by more than half an hour. Herder's old Truggy, which had been morphed into a trick truck about five years previously, and had been mostly parked in the meantime. Childress and Hengeveld were hav-ing a wonderful time driving it. Gordon, whose truck had had to be air-expressed back from Dakar in order to make it here, had a trouble free day. He had one time-saving edge on the other teams, in that with a 110 gallon fuel cell he didn't even have to stop for gas. He said his day was "flawless -no dra-mas". And he took the win. He re-ported that the bumper, which had fallen off in Dakar and holed his radiator in the process, was now welded on rather than bolted on. He'd had no flats and no mechani-cal problems of any sort. He took the win by nine minutes. Sohren finished second, report-ing that he'd been in dust late on the last lap and flattened a tire about five miles before the finish. Childress and Hengeveld were third. Hengeveld said the biggest difference between riding a bike and driving a truck was that in a truck "you can hit anything and not get hurt". They'd had to stop for fuel each lap, and also stopped at the Midway pit for a splash, because the truck has a small fuel cell. Childress, discussing the difference in racing bikes and trucks, said, "The truck doesn't stop as well when coming into the cor-ners -you have to be really careful". He went on to say they'd had a "ton of fun", and Hengeveld stated that "this is the next step", and then said he's "very open to the idea of racing a truck". Greg Foutz had some troubles along the way but it didn't stop him from taking the Class 8100 win in his good looking Ford. David Bryan, with Kyle and Kathleen riding along took the Class 8 win, he's seen here at speed out on the course. Curt and Todd LeDuc finished fourth, about nine minutes later. Curt took responsibility for that broken tie rod, and Todd reported only a "lot of close calls". In fifth place it was McGillivray and Nils Castillo, who drove the second half. Their rear suspension was going away for the final 60 miles or so, and they'd had a flat about five miles before the finish. Castillo called the race a "dust bowl". Will Staats, who drove all three laps in his Ford, had his daughter Emily riding on Laps 1 Continued on page 12 Scott and Keith Hewitt had a bit of an oil problem but they overcame Miguel Alvarado ran most of the race without power steering, he still Mike Falkosky said the course was a little bumpy, he managed to it and finished 2nd in the Class 5 contest. finished a nice 2nd place in Class 7100 in his Jeep. drive his Ford to a second place finish in Class 3100.

In 13th it was Matt and Steve Scaroni, who said it was a "charac-ter building day". They were, as it happens, the fastest vehicle through the main pits clocked by a gentle-man with a radar timing device at 105 mph at the end of their first lap. Then they had an alternator problem. And after that their brakes jammed up and completely stopped the truck. Then they were stuck in the silt behind a stuck lim-ited car. Jesse Jones, who'd started his day looking so good, lost his transmis-sion at the end of Lap 2, and his crew changed it in 45 minutes and sent him on, but at Mile 53 the in-put shaft on the replacement trans-mission broke. Jesse' d had an inter-esting thing happen while he waited for the new trans. He'd been sprawled on the roof of his truck, resting as he waited to be able to leave, and he'd apparently been ly-ing on the Iritrack gizmo that sends messages about the truck's where-abouts and condition.

Next thing they lcnew, Casey Folks was on the radio, wanting to know if Jones was o.k., or had he rolled over or something. Appar-ently those devices are more sensi-tive than anyone had realized. The Protrucks were next off the line with the biggest entry they've ever had anywhere: 20 trucks. At the end of the first lap Craig Smith had his Ford in the lead as he passed Check C, but then lost his power steering reservoir and lost an hour. The next three trucks were on the same minute, and included Tavo Vildo-sola in his Toyota, Tom Koch in his Ford, and Darren York in Joe Custer's Ford. Two minutes later it was Al Hogan in a Ford. All but two trucks completed that lap. The two included Jason and Rich Voss, and J .R. Stanley. On the second lap Vildosola had the lead by two minutes, and York was in second place. Steve Staats was third in a Ford, Hogan was now fourth, and Koch ran fifth. He'd been high centered for a bit after stopping for the road crossing at Shea Road. David Creagan became a DNF on this lap after losing con-centration while adjusting a radio and running off the road into a big cactus. Passenger and driver were seriously skewered, and they took on a new passenger, but had to clean the spines out of the seat first. It was aH to no avail, because then the truck w~nt belly up. Vildosola put in his new partner, Bryan Freeman, to drive the final lap, and' they went on to take the win. Said Freeman, "It's fun, you don't beat yourself to death. It's a What can you say? Rod Hall took the Class 3100 win in his Hummer, he had more than two hours in hand at the checkers.

Six of them found it impossible to get the first lap done. But there were close racing in the surviving bunch. Gary Garman had the lead, but Jason Lafortune was only a minute behind him and tied with Ray Griffith. Another five min-utes back it was Roger Spielman. Another four dropped out on the second lap including both Garman and Spielman. But Griffith moved to the front and stayed there. It was his first race, and he said he'd had no problems on course, but had "a knock in the front end." Two min-utes behind him Eric Heiden finished second, and in third it was Mike Barnett, who drives the first JeepSpeed car ever built He said the "first lap was kinda bad" because he'd broken a track bar bolt, which cost him about 15 minutes. After that things went all right, and he was only ten minutes behind Heiden. Guy Alldredge was fourth, an hour behind him. LaForrune, after being third, was the last one to finish, re-porting that he'd been "stuck five times". There was one limited Baja Bug racing at Parker, with Jacob Kelly and Michael Sivak listed as the team. They didn't even get to the first checkpoint on the first lap. At least their car is probably ready for the next race, once they fix whatever stopped them. Only one started in Class 4000 (which is for stock Volkswagen se-dans), and it had to do only two laps. Dick Dahn was the starting driver, and he's a man with years of experience. Among other things, old timers will remember his cheerful smile as he drove the heavy equip-ment used to build short course jumps and moguls for Mickey Th-ompson. Dahn, who's 70 mow, had a valve cover leak, but fixed it, and then Steve Patton did the second lap. They said they "went slow in the slow stuff, and fast in the fast stuff'. And they made it to the finish line in 10 hours 40 minutes and 46 seconds,. The sedan is named "Molly". There were 10 Sportsman cars Dusty times LIST YOUR PHONE NUMBER, YEAR, MODEL AND ENGINE SIZE!

It was the first ever top fin-ish for the Canadian and his Mit-subishi Evo IV in the U.S.A. Second place overall went to Subaru Team USA driver Travis Pastrana. It was a stunning third place overall finish for Production-GT competitor Tanner Foust, who edged out Pastrana teammate Ken Block for the podium. Comrie-Picard and co-driver Rod Hendrickson, who started the day's leg more than a minute and a half out of first, credited strategic driving for the win. They had said they had planned to drive conserva-tively early in the rally to focus their effort on a pair of make-or-break stages on Day 2, a treacherous 24 mile section of road that competi-tors tackle twice during the rally. only distaff driver out there on the stages. win at any rally.

But, both Subaru crews were caught out during the first pass of the crucial long stage, vaulting Aus-tralian Andrew Pinker, a snow and ice novice, into first place in his Group N Subaru STi. Pastrana suffered two flat tires on his Open Class Subaru GTi, while Block slid his identical car wide on a corner and found himself stuck for several minutes in a snowbank. Top Competitors in every Major Off Road Event Choose MasterCraft Seats and Restraints However, Pinker's lead was short-lived. He slid off the road during his second run at the stage and dropped well out of podium contention. "I think that bit of road is laughing at everybody" he said.

M.O.K.E. DAMZL250 Brant Beat The Best By Steve Ruddick Photos: Trackside Photo fu Ron Brant made it look easy, ·he led the Class 1 contest all the way and took the overall as well in his trusty steed. January 28, 2006 at Lucerne Valley, CA: It was cold and breezy, but it was still dirt and adrenalin time for the 98 racers who entered the M.O.R.E. Damzl 250. Friday night Contingency at Lucerne High School was downright cold, with temps in the 30's, 50% humidity, and the desert winds blowing in the 15mph range, with gusts up to 19 mph. Most of the action was bundled up around the several pro-pane-powered 'campfires' along Contingency row, a welcome relief from the weather. But a little wind and weather wasn't enough to chill the spirits or slow the flow of adrenalin for the racers who lined up for the green flag on race day. The M.O.R. E. Dan1Zl 250 was a 40 mile course twisting and turn-ing its way through the souther California desert in the B.L.M.'s Johnson Valley OHV area, near Lucerne Valley off SR #247. Start/ Finish was at Anderson Dry Lake, off Camp Rock Road. The race course looped all the way over to Check 2/Pit C at Bessemer Mine Road, and included a couple of Road X-ings of Power Line Road at MM17 and again at MM27.5, and another close encounter around MM36, too. Up and over and through and around the elevations of Fry Mountains and upper Johnson Valley they raced: six laps for Classes l, 10, 5 & 1/2-1600, five laps for Classes 9 and 5-1600; and four loop-de-loops for the Sportsman and 1450 classes. There were 98 entries and 82 finishers. CLASS l: A field of eight Class l cars took the green flag for the ---,,-------,,.......,-------------.,.,----.,,,, start of the first event of the 2006 M.O.R.E. race season. First to see the checkers was Ron Bryant in car # 134, who took first place in Class l. Ron Bryant drove his :"under 500hp" Chevy LSI-powered Jimco chassis, Motion Tire #134 to take the Class 1, and Overall Winner awards in just 4: 10:03 and 57.6mph. Ron drove Laps 1-3 along with co-driver Wayne Laird, and also took the Fast Lap Award at 60.1mph on Lap l. Richard Boyle took over the wheel duties for Laps 4-6. Ron is still looking over the Contingency sponsor list to see if he qualifies for any 'frequent flier' miles, too. Todd Jergensen in car #156 was next to pass the checkered flag in 4: 14:47 at 56.5mph, to take sec-ond place in Class l. Coming in a Tom Gilhriese had a tight race in Trophy Challenge, he took the win with a scant 57 seconds in hand at the checkers. distant third place at 5:00:54 was the 400hp Cadillac Northstar-powered #127 of MW Motorsports and Rick Wilcoxson, at 47.9mph. Troy Johnson drove the #127 Jimco chassis on Laps 1-3, and Rick Wil-coxson took the wheel duties over for Laps 4-6. Joehy Westhoff was along for all six laps in the co-driver's chair. The MW Motorsports car performed flaw-less all day, except for a failed CPU on Lap 5 which took about 40 min-utes to fix. Rick reported the course was "fast in spots and all dust in others", but his overall enthusiasm was still apparent ... "I love this Car!" Jennifer Clemson arrived at the checkers in 5:16:56 in the #132 car, averaging 45.4mph for the day, to take fourth place in Class l. Matt Brunning drove his #131 Playtech car to fifth place in Class 1 at 41.7mph in 5:45:29. Finishing in sixth place in Class l was Mike Pacewich in the DunTech Motors ports car # 135, averaging 34.5mph in 6:56: 19. The Complete Off Road car #143 of Bill Markel lost a cliff at Check 1 on their sec-ond lap. John Gould in car #113 had a serious roll-over on Lap .l to end his race day. CLASS 10: A field of 13 count them ... 13, Class 10 cars rolled up for the green flag at the DAMZL 250, but only eight racers com-pleted the required six laps. Scott Wisdom and Frank Wagner had "no flats and a flawless race" to take first place in Class 10 in 4:26:57 at 53.9mph, in their F&L Fuel car #1205. Scott only had the new JFK Racecars chassis for a month be-fore the race, and this was their first time in the car under actual race conditions. Scott and Frank summed up their win nicely: "What A Blast!" Getting the checkers just three minutes later to win second place in Class 10 was Michael Deardorff in car# 1094, completing his six laps in 5:29:59 at 53.3mph. Deardorff also took the Class 10 Fast Lap Award at 56.2mph on Lap 2. Dear-dorff drove the Type II VW-pow-ered Jimco chassis car all six laps with co-driver Dustin Miller at his side, and reported "a flat, a lot of dirt, and a rough course". Asked to describe his 'most.fu1i.' moment, Scott said -"It was ALL fun!" Third place in Class 10 went to Larry Ahoff and co-driver Randy Jones in car #1032, who completed the required bumpNbounce in 5:25:26 at 44.2mph. This was Ahoffs first race in his Ideal Grind-ing Type IV-powered Raceco chas-sis car, and it wasn't without a few breaks and bruises either. Ahoff and Jones had three flats (two at the same time on Lap 1), no brakes the last four or five laps, and also managed to manhandle the beast to a victory on Laps 5 and 6 when their power steering went out. That's true grit, guys and gals. Taking the fourth place victory in Class 10 in car #1047 was the father/son team of Richard and Ryan Lescher. In spite of two flats, a starter going out, and a lean-run-ning cpu most of the day, the Leschers were "still happy to just finish a race!"; doing so in 5:25:26 at 44.2mph. You can always tell when car #1047 is around because it sounds like a whole herd ofkiller-beeZ on steroids. Bob Schreiner drove his good looking GMC to the Ultra Truck class win, he's seen here heading for the coveted checkered flag. John Criswell led the Class 5 contest all the way, he finished with a bit more than eight minutes in hand. Mike McGee in car #1011 took the fifth place win in Class 10 in 5:44: 10 at 41.8mph. Arrivin at the Second place in Class 1 went to Todd Jergensen, he's seen here Alex Danze gave it all he had, but he fell short at the finish, he was Chris Bowman had a long first lap and it cost him, he finished second making a nice landing at the MORE Damzl 250. less than a minute out of the class win. in Class 5, some eight minutes in arrears.

Brian Walsh in car #1002 man-aged to complete three laps, before being taken out in the end by a BiG rock in the sand wash on Lap 2; which broke and jammed a tie rod. Nice try anyway, guys. Scott Stice in car # 1009 was also racing with the front runners in Class 10 through Lap 4, but it was no more after chat. Dave Wood blew the tranny in car #1091 at Check 1 on Lap 1. Boch Craig Brabant in #1216 and Matt Klenske in #1025 managed respectable times on Lap 1, but ended their fun in the dirt somewhere on Lap 2. CLASS 5: Si~ Class 5 cars started the Danul 250, and first to see the checkered flag was John Criswell in the #501 Kartek car, in 5:05:41 at 47.1mph. John Hays drove Laps 1-3 with John Criswell taking over the driving duties for Laps 4-6. They reported two rear flats and a "rough track", and a tug-of-war race with Geer. Second place in Class 5 went to Chris Bowman in car #502, com-pleting the six laps in 5: 13:49 at 45.9mph. #502 also took the Fast Lap award for Class 5 at 53.0mph on Lap 3. Jerry Longo drove car #502 thru Laps 1-3 along with co-driver Chuck Militello. Longo broke a bolt that holds the power steering ram to the rack and pin-ion on Lap 1, and lost some 24 minutes making the necessary re-pairs. However, once repaired and stopping on Lap 2 to check it out, it was 'game on' to see if he could make up time. Bowman did the driving duties for Laps 4-6 and tried to keep up the fast pace that Longo had set -"We never gave up and just kept on driving hard thru some nasty dust conditions", and they made up over 16 minutes in five laps in the process! Nonetheless, Longo re-ported 'lots of fun ... lots of dust, but fast laps!", despite breaking a power steering bole on Lap 1 that cost them time to fix. A win to be proud of. Shad Kennedy in #505 had problems with a loose distributor on Lap 2, but still kept on racing on to win third place in Class 5, in 6: 10:54 at 38.8mph. The other Class 5 racers didn't fair as well. Jeff Nutter in #529 was out of con-tention with tranny problems on Lap 1, and #524, Erik Earnest, and Jim Varshay in #511, also dnfd. Dusty Times April 2006 Page 19

The FlA's Five Minure Rule was implemented many times: none of the four registered Ford drivers completed the route yet all were classified. The first orthodox gravel event of the season counted this time for the Production Car World Cham-pionship rather than the Junior, and immediately a much larger entry was received from drivers in this category than on the previous round, in Monte Carlo. The event still at-(541 )382-1573 www.tubeshark.com Manuf'act:ured B,. l!iC:O Page 30 tracted numerically one of the small-est entries of the season, with only five of the six registered teams com-peting on this occasion, and with one-make Peugeot challenge cars forming over 20% of the entry. The route was much as before but with one major change -the introduction of a superspecial venue, used as the final stage on each day and in the dark on the first two occasions. There were several minor changes, a new 6.4km Shakedown stage close to Leon, and this year there was a "one tread" not-a "two tread" rule for tyre nomination purposes. The stage distance which crews had to cover between tyre change points was one of the greatest of the season (up to 73km) but the popular classic features remained. The event was again run over the rolling hills to the east of Leon with the regional capital city of Guanajuato hosting the Thursday evening pre-event Cer-emonial Start. The change in the order of cham-pionship events this year had its ef-fect. Although the order of the first three rallies this season is unchanged, the fact that asphalt rallies feature heavily in the early part of the 2006 season meant that teams came to Mexico without having carried out much gravel road test work. This fac-tor came on top of the existing rule that all pre-event rally car testing is forbidden in the countries con-cerned on "long haul" events. Would this be third time lucky for Loeb? On both his two previous attempts at this rally, Sebastien Loeb had suffered undercar damage. Once again, the Kronos team were running three cars, even though this was the first time the team had been to this event. Ford had spent the days since Sweden on a major eight day gravel and asphalt test in Spain, the first time Marcus Granholm has driven an '06 car on gravel, although after Monte Carlo teammate Mikko Hirvonen drove the car on a three day test at Chateau Lastours. Both Subaru and Ford had new cars for this event. Prod rive had not fully dis-covered the cause for Solberg's prob-lems in Sweden but noted some April 2006 seemed to relate to pieces carried over from the earlier lmpreza model. Amid a spate of personnel changes relating to Prodrive's rally team, "FX" Demaison (formerly rally en-gineer at Peugeot Sport) joined on 1st March. As for Peugeot them-selves, Henning Solberg' s victory on Rally Norway was a great occasion for the team, overall victory on only the team's third event! Henning was driving the same car that he over-turned a few days earlier in Sweden. For the Stobart team, team leader Matthew Wilson approached Mexico with cautious confidence, after successfully tackling the first two and very specialised opening rounds of the series. His officially nominated teammate this time was 34 year old Argentine Luis Perez Companc who was a fully nomi-nated world championship works driver for the first time in his career! The only missing team was Red Bull Skoda. Of the 12 starters in the cat-egory, seven PCWRC drivers made their 2006 championship debut on this event, including reigning cham-pion Toshi Arai, the three Argen-tina Mitsubishi drivers Marcos Ligato, Gabriel Pozzo and Sebastian Beltran while Mirco Baldacci made his debut for the Mitsubishi Paris Quest team in a Evo IX. This car was curiously sponsored by the "Monster" company in Japan, noth-ing to do with Suzuki this time, but a connection through Nobuhiro Tajima's alternative Mitsubishi com-petition car business in Japan. Baldacci faced opposition in Mexico from a source close to home, his 18 year old brother Loris. For the first time they were competing against each other in a world championship rally, although Loris had contested last year's Wales Rally GB. ln Mexico, privateer Loris drove a Group N Subaru lmpreza as teammate to the 20 year old PCWRC contender Jari-Matti Latvala in cars run by the Ital-ian team "Motoring Club". Only two PCWRC entries were the same as in Monte Carlo: the QMMF car for Nasser Al Attiyah (this time running Pirellis, not Michelins) and the OMV CEE entry, this time driven by Stepan Vojtech instead of Jasen Popov. Ford's wins on the first two rounds had only given them a two point lead over the Kronos Citroen team before this event, though they were already well ahead of the op-position. In the PCWRC series it was still too early to spot the trends. Petter Solberg who had always gone fast on this event was unfazed by Subaru's poor results so far this sea-son. "We have just been unlucky. When you are pushing a car to the limit, things like this can happen". Shakedown was held on a bright sunny morning and Marcus Gronholm, was fastest in his Ford, followed by Petter in the Subaru with his teammate Chris Atkinson close behind. Interestingly Dani Sordo was fourth quickest, ahead of both official Citroen drivers. Leg 1 7 Stages, gravel, 150.2kms The rally got under way under clear blue skies. The surfaces on the first three stages had a scattering of loose gravel, which meant the top runners would be at a disadv;mtage during the morning, but in fact the only drivers to beat early-running Loeb and Granholm was ninth run-ning Petter Solberg and sixth run-ning Mikko Hirvonen. On each of the first three stages Petter was quickest and Hirvonen always sec-ond. On Stage 2, Xavier Pons went missing and for hours the team had no idea why. There was no radio or telephone contact with the crew, so they had to wait for the car to be telephone contact with the crew, so they had to wait for the car to be brought back to base. Sordo had a spin and lost time trying to get going again. Henning Solberg had a lot of trouble with his brakes, "It was only on the faster, uphill Stage 3, that the problem was not so serious." Companc went off the road on Stage 2 for a minute and then had problems with his intercom. At the first service, Petter headed Hirvonen by 8.1 seconds, Gronholm was 25.3 seconds behind with Loeb just 1.2 second behind, in front of Atkinson. The first big shock of the after-noon was the exit of Marcus Granholm on Stage 4. He slid off the road on a corner at the end of a straight, smashed his rear suspension and could not drive back again. Sec-ond shock was an accident for Atkinson, who lost control on a se-ries of fast swerves and damaged his car too badly to carry on. Petter maintained his lead through the re-runs but Hirvonen was beginning to whittle his lead down, despite having to go carefully for nearly two stages with a broken shock absorber. On the long Stage 5 Loeb was 10 seconds quicker than everyone, however, with Petter complaining that his tyres were worn out. No sooner had news come through about Atkinson than Henning Solberg stopped at the same place, having to change a broken wheel and again having trouble with his brakes. Then Companc went miss-ing, again with damaged suspension. Petter was in trouble in Stage 6, "We fitted the hardest tyre available but the fronts were bald. We lost pretty much everything we had gained ear-lier in the day." Loeb was on the at-tack, gradually gaining on the two cars ahead. With only the first run through the superspecial left to go, Solberg was just 3.6 seconds in front of Hirvonen, with Loeb only 8.1 fur-ther back. Going steadily were the Ford drivers Matthew Wilson in sixth place and Gareth MacHale in sev-enth. In Group N, the rally lost both Sebastien Beltran and Gabriel Pozzo on the first stage, so two of the three car "Tango Rally Team" cars from Argentina had gone. Pozzo's Mitsu-bishi suffered transmission trouble, originally assumed to be a broken front differential while Beltran went off the road, with complete brake failure. When Beltran arrived back at service in Leon, he explained, "I had no brakes at all. The pedal was solid. I tried to use the handbrake to spin the car round, but when I realised that was not going to work, I went straight off the road and we smashed the front of the car." Team manager Akira Kawada said the Pozzo's problem was a big worry, be-cause that might also affect the re-maining driver Marcos Ligato. The team were planning to fit new parts and allow Pozzo to restart the fol-lowing day, but until Beltran's car was retrieved and the damage as-sessed, the team did not know if he would carry on.Just to rub salt into sore wounds, team owner David Nalbandian, of tennis fame, flew into Leon that morning and found out what had happened! Fumio Nutahara stopped to change a flat tyre, losing two minutes but had to regain the route in the dust of Nasser Al Attiyah. The Qatari had a bad morning, having chosen tyres and a suspension set-up which were far too soft. Jari-Matti Latvala, however, held a slender lead over Toshi Arai (0.6 seconds). Arai was slowed after bending the rear suspension against Dusty Times

Leszek Kuzaj was delayed after damaging the suspension, Sergey Uspensky damaged the steering and then punctured, Vojtech also dam-aged his suspension. Francisco Name in the "Guest" car stopped with elec-tronic problems but hoped to be able to continue the next day. The afternoon proved very tough on the PCWRC competitors. Leader Latvala was passed by Arai on Stage 4. On Stage 5 he hit a hole ("I think it was the same hole that ended Companc's rally"), and this broke a wheel and wrecked the front left sus-pension. And on Stage 6 he broke a driveshaft! Arai, however, had his own problems when he wiped the rear wing off his Subaru and suf-fered terrible handling through Stage 6 as a result. In second place, Marcos Ligato, who had been hop-ing to recover time lost from his ear-lier puncture, but he had the mount-ing to his sumpguard break off and the protection plate hung loosely below the car. Nutahara, who had been lying ninth (and last) at ser-vice, had risen to fourth by the end of Stage 6, despite losing his brakes on Stage 4, and then towards the end of Stage 5 had the turbo fail. Mirco Baldacci stopped to change a flat tyre and on Stage 6 his steering rack broke. Name meanwhile had withdrawn for the day and this left Kuzaj in last place in the category. On Stage 4 Kuzaj rolled, on 5 he had two punctures and on 6 he broke a shock absorber! The only PCWRC drivers who escaped trouble in the afternoon were Al Attiyah, but he had his dramas in the morning, and the Russian Uspensky. The superspecial was an impor-tant venture for the organisers but not a success for the competitors. Dust hung in the evening air and obscured the view for the drivers who followed on. Drivers obeyed the pacenote instructions implicitly. Hirvonen admitted he had to stop to see where the bridge was he had to drive beneath. At the end of the day Solberg was 4 .8 seconds in front of Hirvonen with Loeb a similar dis-tance further back.

After Stage 15 Atkinson had jumped three places, passing the pri-vate Peugeot 206WRC of Trivino and also the PCWRC cars of Arai and Al Attiyah, while Gronholm had got passed only Trivino. Gronholm explained why the task was made harder, "It was unusual, because we were getting slowed by the dust from the car in front of us -which was driven by our teammate Hirvonen!" After Stage 16, the last of the long stages on the event, Atkinson stayed put at seventh over-all and Gronholm passed the two PCWRC cars as well to finish up eighth, finally in the Drivers' points. Wilson reached the finish despite los-ing power before the first stage of the day, and Atkinson despite power steering failure. At the head of the field Petter d1eckeclhis split times on the first stage of the day, found he wasn't gaining anything and eased off appropriately. The unregistered Gareth MacHale finished the best Ford in sixth position on only his second world championship rally fin-ishing ahead of all the works Fords. The OMV Peugeot Norway team scored the greatest number of points from this event, a total of 11 points through Stohl's third place and Henning's fourth (fifth overall) manufacturer's placings. Sordo fin-ished in fourth place, his best result in only his third appearance in a world rally car. Loeb was thrilled how things panned out and did celebratory" doughnuts" outside the Polyforum rally headquarters as he drove up to the final service control. The PCWRC battle ended qui-etly with Arai holding position ahead of Al Attiyah and Baldacci, but the challenge of the three car Argentine PCWRC Tango Rally Team ended on the first stage of the day when Marcos Ligato, a former Rally Mexico winner, went off the road, causing the stage to be stopped. The circumstances of the crash are unknown, but the rally au-thorities stopped the stage because they did not receive the usual elec-tronic confirmation after the crash of the safety of the crew. In fact it seems that both crew members were unhurt and the car was repatriated to Leon and put into end-of-event pare ferme, so Ligato could be con-sidered a finisher. The best local driver was Ricardo Trivino in 10th place, but he was eventually excluded at post-event scrutineering for fitting a different type of bumper during the event to that which he started with. Every-one below him moved up a place but as he was unregistered for any of the championships this had no effect on points scored. 1.ftJaC: Dusty Times

-~~~~-SHORT COURSE AT PRIMM -- -~~··.,· · lindsay Is The Fastest By John Calvin Photos: Martees Race Photos Tim Lindsay won Class 1 on Saturday, was third on the Sunday race but combined times gave him the overall win at Primm. Where? Primm, When? Febru-ary 18-19, Entrants, lots of them, Weather, Don't ask. What a weekend, SNORE put on a two day short course event at Primm, Nevada that was about as successful as you can get. About 100 entrants were ready for battle at the SNORE short course event. The start/finish area was behind the mall on the east side of the free-way, the course wound around to the regular start/finish area be-hind the Buffalo Bill's Casino, wandered out into the desert for three or four miles and then headed back towards the sand drag area to complete a lap. The weather was foul, it was cold, not freezing, but cold, there was a steady wind of 10-15 miles per hour, more than enough to make you feel cold and, on Sunday, just for the hell of it, it snowed! But, the weather wasn't enough to dampen the spirits of the competi-tors and everyone involved had a really great weekend. The cars ran four laps, five laps or six laps depending on the rela-tive speed of the class and classes were combined, 1 and 10 ran to-gether on them by individuaf dass. Class 1 took the green flag on Saturday and at the end of the first lap it was Kevin Colan in the lead, Tim Lindsay was second, John Olsen was back in third place, Bill Worthing was in fourth, Brad Falin was fifth and Mark Temple was sixth. After the second lap John Olsen had taken the lead, Tim Lindsay remained in second, Kevin Colan had dropped to third place and Worthing, Falin and Temple remained in fourth through sixth place. At the end of the third lap, the halfway point, the running order remained the same. On Lap 4, Olsen still led, Lind-say still ran second, Colan still in third, Mark Temple had moved into fourth piace, Bill Worthing dropped a spot into fifth and Brad Falin was out of the race. On Lap 5 Tim Lindsay took over the lead, Olsen dropped to second place and Colan, Temple and Worthing remained third through fifth. The checkers flew and it was Tim Lindsay taking the win, John Olsen was 69 seconds in arrears, Kevin Colan was third, Mark Steve Strobel led every lap on both days but one, he won the overall in Class 10 by more than seven minutes. Temple came in fourth and Bill Worthing was the fifth finisher. The same group was back for their Sunday race and not a lot had changed, John Olsen led the first lap, Kevin Colan was just a second in arrears, Tim Lindsay was another second back in third place, Bill Worthing ran fourth, Mark Temple was in fifth place, Jim Birmingham ran in sixth and Brad Falin was seventh. Kevin Colan took the lead on the second lap, Mark Temple moved up to the second spot, John Olsen dropped back to third place, Tim Lindsay dropped a spot into fourth place, Worthing dropped a spot to fifth and Birmingham and Falin remained sixth and sev-enth. At the halfway point Colan still had the lead, Lindsay moved up to second place, John Olsen re-mained in third, Temple dropped two spots into fourth, -Binning-ham was up to fifth, Falin was sixth and Bill Worthing was on the trailer. When they came around on their fourth lap Tim Lindsay had the lead, John Olsen had moved into second place, Mark Temple was up into third place, Jim Bir-mingham was fourth, Brad Falin was fifth and Kevin Colan had fled the scene. End Lap 5, John Olsen now had the lead, Lindsay had dropped to second, but only by three seconds, Mark Temple held onto third, Birmingham and Falin were still fourth and fifth. Last lap, Mark Temple really turned it on and he took the win, John Olsen came in for the second spot, Tim Lindsay came in third, Jim Birmingham came in fourth and Brad Falin was out of the race. Adding up the running times from each day for each car, it was Tim Lindsay taking the Class 1 win, John Olsen was second, 52 seconds in arrears, Mark Temple came in third, then it was Colan, Wor-thing, Falin and Birmingham. There were nine entrants in the Class 10 conflict and, when they came around at the end of their first lap it was Steve Strobel in the lead, Brian Freemal was second, ·31 seconds behind, J.C. Dean was in third place, two seconds out of second, Shane Brown was in fourth, Jeremy Gubler was in fifth and T.J. Flores was running sixth. Chris Wright was running in sev-enth place, Rick Lance was eighth and Bill Woodward was ninth. · The second lap saw. lots of changes, J.C. Dean had moved into the lead, Steve Strobel was now second, Brian Freemal had dropped a spot into third, Shane Brown remained in fourth place, Chris Wright had moved up a few spots into fifth place, and Jeremy Gubler had dropped a spot and was running sixth. T.J. Flores dropped to seventh place, Rick Lance held on in eighth place and Bill Woodward was still running ninth. Regen Gubler took the Class 8 win on Saturday, finished second in the Sunday race and took the overall by six minutes.

Danny Wingerniing was first off the line in car #148, followed at 30 second intervals by Mark Weger in car #132, Rich Volpe in car #131, Frank Thing car #134, Rick Ro-mans in car #120, and Kash Ves-sels in #121. Frank Thing, Chad McNeil and Tony Cortes had a short race day in their first race, as the 530hp, 383-Chevy stroker car #134 broke on the first lap. Kash Vessels (yes, he is 'Scoop' Vessels' son), had an eight and one half minute lead at the end of Lap 1 in car # 121 even though he started at the rear, and he never looked back on his way to the checkered flag and a first place vic-tory in Class 1; completing the course in just 5:02:52 at 49.4mph. Vessels also captured the WW250 Overall Winner, and Fast Lap Award too [Lap 1: 0:46:30 at 54. 7mph). Vessels said he was "very happy" with the car, and the win.

or three or more, I'd say they were 'thrilled' at the experience too. Rick Romans in car # 120 fol-lowed in second place about six minutes later at 48.5mph in 5: 11:37. Danny Wingerniing grabbed the third place honors in car #148 in 5:31:35 at 45.6mph. Crossing the finish line to take fourth place in Class l was Rich Volpe in car # 131 in 6:35:55 at 38.2mph. Volpe and co-driver James Becker iron-manned the en-tire six laps, not too bad for a couple of 'virgin' rookies in their first race. Even then, Volpe and Becker had trouble with a fuel pump relay on Lap 2, and a flat on Lap 6. But that still didn't dampen the flow of adrenaline of "doing 95mph on a smooth stretch" for the rookie duo; a nice finish and a win too for 'starters', I'd say. Mark Weeger had some prob-lems on Laps 1, 2 and 4 in car #132, Matt Towery had no competition but he only slowed a bit as he ran for the Class 8 win, seen here in his good looking truck. but was still able to finish in 7:47:05 to take fifth place in Class l; and a broken tie rod on Lap 2 didn't re-ally help matters all that much. But finish he did at 32.4mph, fast enough to make it under the eight hour limit for the race.

Justin Smith and Cameron Steele didn't make the green flag in car #1005. Ronnie Coble did see the green in car #1043, but was only seeing 'red' after that when his motor let go on the first lap; bad news. Coble and compadre William David Salyardz just got the motor back together for their first race, too. But they weren't the only ones contributing to the store of parts beginning to accumulate around the course, ei-ther. Eric Jacobus had absolutely no problem taking the Class 1300 win in spite of a horribly long last lap at the Wild Wash. Steven Herrera took the Class 1400 win with ease, he set fast lap for the class on his last lap and took the win with two hours in hand. Richard Garavito had "no prob-lems" cruising his way to first place in Class 10, doing so in 6:47:14 at 3 7 .1 mph. That was also good enough to take the Class 10 Fast Lap Award on Lap 2 in just 0:53: 14 at 47.8mph, as well as a seventh overall for the race too. Garavito used to race Class 5-1600, and was happy indeed with his first Class 10 win and his "brand new race car".

The 1600 cars had 16 starters and 11 finishers. The Navarrete brothers team of Leon and then Alex who shared the driving, had a clean race. "We only had to deal with some slower traffic", they said. But all in all a good start for the new season. Their gold time was 5:06:31. About 18 minutes back was the team of Sabas Munoz and Angel Barajas who just couldn't find enough speed or time to catch the leaders. The time for the silver was 5:22:26.

They had a problem free race and managed to get past some of the early leaders who had developed problems during the day.

He was nursing the car around and maintaining the third spot but got over exuberant during the third lap and rolled it. As always helpful spectators and fans helped get him back on all four but too much time had passed to make up in that last lap. No information on Jorge Vargas who finished sixth. Marco Gallo, another rookie in Class 1600 and his brother Juan, who were Class 9 drivers before, look to be a threat for the upcoming season, were seventh. Jaime Boquiren ran into a few problems including a roll-over, which again the fans helped get back into the race, was eighth. Ninth place finisher Alfredo Lugo got some bad fuel data and ran out ju!t before the end of the second lap. The team also reported they hadn't managed to get the trans-mi~sion tuned for this particular race. Brothers Melchor and Mario Acosta, have moved out of the quad ranks and so were rookies this Saturday. They are preparing a 10 car for the future. Melchor was having a good day until he rolled in the mysterious sands of San Luis. No fans around to help this team out and they were a distant 10th place. Martin Gonzalez had a bad distributor during Lap 1 and lost his tranny during the second. Vic-tor Lugo and Mike Chapa also lost a transmission during Lap 2. An-other blown tranny at the end of the first lap cost Ricardo Cons his chances for the day. Meanwhile Javier Bueina in the# 1606 car and Fernando Flores in the # 1608 both blew engines during the first lap and were dnfed. Class 7 had a couple of home-town winners. 'Perry just had to watch them go by'. Rene Cuevas had been chasing Perry McNeil all day and when he discovered him on the edge of the road he told Vic, "I just put it on cruise and finished the race." Finished the race in first place with a time of 4:50:34. Cue-vas was on his home ground on top of that, so he probably knew ex-actly what he had to do. The only other finisher in the class was an-other homegrown lad, Juan Quiroz who was driving in only his second race. Juan was a little fearful of the speeds he had to attain to keep any-one in sight but after the demise of the McNeil truck, a fuel stop and co-driver switch, he also put it on cruise to the green. His time was 6:54:58. Perry McNeil led the rest of the non-finishers in Class 7. Af-ter two exceptional laps the motor said, "That's it" and headed south. Perry stated that he shall return.

The win in Class 5-1600 went to Jose Montoya, he ran the course in his good looking bug at an almost 39mph average. and Enrique Loam ran out of time but had nothing to say about it. Eduardo Rodriguez reported a blown engine during his second lap. Class 11 and the rest of the Sportsman class had to do only two laps and their times reflect that. Mario Flores had been leading all day long when they lost second, third and fourth gear. They had enough of a lead to limp home in first gear and managed the class win with a time of 5: 16:57. Fernando stuck in the sand twice, but when the other front-runners ran into trouble, he was able to pass them and took the silver in this, his third race, ever.

Jose Rodriguez, Alejandro Rivas and Daniel Salas all blew en-gines. Gustavo Villasenor added insult to injury when he also blew his engine, but this was after his re-covery from a roll-over. Class 11 just seems to grow with each race and I'm fairly certain all these guys will be back. Now to the Sportsman classes, Class 14 was headed by Jose Quintero who was one of those who had nothing to report except his time and that winning time for the two laps was 3:42:49. Second spot went to Arturo Rodriguez who, on his first try as a desert racer, got lost for about ten minutes but still managed the silver with his time of 3"47"56. Subtract that ten min-utes from .his time and ·he would have gone gold. Alberto Beltran ran a 3:48:51 for third place and nothing but this time to report. Hector Perez, another rookie in the 14 ranks, just didn't manage to go quite fast enough to trophy but his 4:06: 13 might give some of the vet-erans reason to look over their shoulders. Julio Valenzuela was the only other finisher, his time was 5:22:23. Jose Luis Sanchez had been right up at the front for part of the day, but was slowed by car-buretor problems then a broken header caused further engine prob-lems so he checked himself out and is getting ready for the next race. Richard Cons Jr., Ivan Pacheco and Pete Morquecho blew their engines. Esteban Perez blew a tranny, and Mike Auguilar spent some time lost in the sand and then blew an en-gine too. The 15 class had 12 starters and eight of them made it to the check-ered flag. Gold went to Manuel Delgado with his time of 4:21:30. This is a new car for him and he has moved up from the Safari class where he was last year's runner-up in points. Sergio Silva got lost dur-ing the second lap and also ran out of gas losing quite a bit of time. But when he later found that some of the top runners were later dq'ed, he also found himself in second place.

BFGoodrich@ Tires' Official World Rally Championship Debut GREENVILLE, S.C. -For 2006, BFGoodrich® Tires is set to enter another form of off-road racing to further demonstrate the brand's dominance on one of the toughest testing grounds known to man-the World Rally Champi-onship (WRC). In this overseas venture, BFGoodrich will partner with some of the series' most excit-ing race teams, including Kronos Racing, BP Ford,. OMV Peugeot Norway, Stobart VK M-Sport Ford and Red Bull Skoda. These teams consist of many of the world's most talented drivers such as the reigning, two-time World Champion, Sebastoem Loeb (Kronos Racing), BFGoodrich is working hard to make a successful transition into the WRC, building on experiences gained from a long history of off road racing victories, including four straight Dakar win-, and 20 consecutive Baja 1000 titles. BFGoodrich looks to ben-efit from each of its new partners' expertise in the World Rally Championship, while continuing to innovate its products. "When Airbus comes out with a new plane, there is always a sense of taking a step into the unknown, despite its years of experience, de-spite the skill of its engineers and technicians and despite the exist-ence of validated components, etc.," says BFGoodrich's Rallies Program Manager, Aime Cha ta rd. "It's a similar situation for BF-Goodrich. For example, we will have an evolution of our soft com-pound tire [g-Force Profiler O+] which our partner drivers vali-dated during winter testing. It's a BFGoodrich tire in its own right." Several competitors racing on BF-Goodrich Tires in its debut year made team changes for the 2006 season. This adds an additional el-ement of transition that drivers will have to account for in addition to the new championship format fea-turing two categories (Manufactur-ers 1 and Manufacturers 2) and more basic technical regulations, including the outlawing of active differentials for seeded drivers. BFGoodricb WRC Team Drivers French superstar Sebastoem Loeb (WRC titles in 2004 and 2005) will race a Citroen again in the 2006 season, but will now be competing on the Kronos Total Citroen team alongside rising Spanish star Xavier Pons. Austrian driver, Manfred Stohl also moved from the Citroen team for 2006, and will now be racing a Peugeot on the OMV team, partnering with Henning Solberg (Norway) who made the switch over from Ford. Other drivers racing on BF-Goodrich tires include: Marcus Gronholm (WRC titles in 2000 and 2002) who transitioned to Ford to team up with fellow Finn-ish driver Mikko Hirvonen after six years of racing with Peugeot; Aus-trian driver Andreas Aigner, lead-ing the Red Bull Skoda team com-prised of French asphalt expert Gilles Panizzi and Swedish racer Mattias Ekstrom, who both signed on for Monte Carlo and Sweden Rallies; British racer Matthew Wil-son will lead the Stobart VK M-Sport Ford team where he is teamed up with multiple-time Belgian Rally Champion Pieter Tsjoen. With the constant development of new race products and the large number of official and private teams joining forces with BFGood-rich Tires, 2006 promises to be an exciting year to experience World Rally Championships and BF-Goodrich race teams.

Visit BF-Goodrich Tires online at www.bfgoodrichtires.com. ----By Lisa Kennedy FAIR members have had a chance to take a breather since the two busy, back-to-back weekends of racing ending January and bring-ing in February, giving them a chance to gear up for the coming races. FAIR members will be racing on March 11th at the SCORE San Felipe 250, then on March 19th at the MORE Balls Out 250, and on April 1st at the MDR Mojave 250. This break in racing news gives us an opportunity to spotlight some of the FAIR members, giving every-one a chance to get to know more about these racers and associates. CURT GEER: (2006 FAIR Race Director & 1/2-1600 Racer) Curt debuted in racing in 1997, when he co-drove in the 5-1600 class. In 1999, he began driving in 5-1600 becoming officially known as a racer. He continued to drive in 5-1600, learning all about the world of off road racing from other Geer Racing members: Bryan Geer, his father; "Papa" Dick Geer, his grandfather; and°Uncie Steve. 2001 proved to be bittersweet, as Curt obtained a second place fin-ish in Laughlin, but also crashed and totaled the car the same year. Geer Racing then decided to ven-tll re to the 1/2-1600 class, and Curt raced for the first time in this class at Parker, AZ in the Pro 1600 race. He was only able to finish one H-PE MA lap of that race before the car would go no further, but this be-gan quite an exciting few years of racing for Curt in this class. Curt had a big year in 2005 with three first place finishes, and five trips to the podium in all. He fin-ished the year as the Points Cham-pion in the 1/2-1600 class for the MORE series, and as the Overall Points Champion in that series as well. Geer Racing is sponsored by Boden Development, Lakeshore Homes, Craig Fire Protection, J&M Construction, and Mickey Thomp-son Tires. Also instrumental in Geer Racing is Curt's mom, Dor-othy, his brother, Cory, and his sis-ter, Hayley. They are on their way to another exciting year in 2006, finishing the MORE Damzl 250 once again at the top of the po-dium.' KEN & SHELBY TOLBERT: (5-1699 KST Racers) Ken was initiated into the world of off road racing when he was ap-proximately ten years old. His fa. ther, Gene "Red Owl" Tolbert, de-cided to get the family into a sport to enjoy together and he purchased a Baja Bug that they all rebuilt to-gether, along with some dirt bikes. They spent many weekends and va-cations with family and friends at the Salton Sea camping, riding, and having a great time. Along with his brother and sisters, Ken learned the importance of proper vehicle main-tenance through many hours in the garage working with his dad. Their adventures also taught them to re-spect the desert, and how to drive in the desert and read the terrain. Growing up he did not understand the significance in this all, but as he became older he discovered the im-portance of these lessons and the time spent with his family. Ken had the opportunity to meet Rich Fersch, a Class 5-1600 champion, and Rich introduced him to the world of racing, and his dream began. Ken started pitting and working on race cars, and be-ing taught by the "Master of 5-CERAMIC & POWDE QQAJI Since 1999, Ram Proline has provided ceramic and powtler coating for all vour needs with an oven 25 ft in depth. • WE CAN COAT CHASSIS, DUNE BUGGY FRAMES, TRAILERS, GATES, IRON FENCING, AND MORE IN A VARIETY OF COLORS. • RAM PROLINE ALSO OFFERS SAND BLASTING. • WE CAN COAT ALL INTERNAL ENGINE PARTS, EXHAUST SYSTEMS, BRAKE CALIPERS, INTAKE MANIFOLDS, AND MANY OTHER APPLICATIONS. RAM PROLINE DOES IT ALL Dusty Times 1600s". He did everything he could to be around the sport of racing, as it had all the things he has learned to love and respect. In May of 2004, the transfor-mation began and Ken embarked on a new racing adventure. He pur-chased a 5-1600 from another 5-1600 champion, Mario Gutierrez, in San Diego, CA. With the help and support of his wife, Shelby, and children, John and Brittany, they were able to bring the car home and make it their own. Thus, the cycle commenced once more. Ken is now sharing with his family what his fa. ther gave to him. Seven months after they brought home their first 5-1600, the Tolberts set off to their first race, the MORE Holiday, Toys for Tots, 2004. The excitement of this race got the better of Ken, and he drove only 16 miles into the first race on a flat that he didn't realize he had. They didn't seem to mind much though because they started, and they raced, and that was all that was important to them ... They were out there! They were brought back safely into their camp by FAIR mem-bers, who knew where they were at all times, and they found their place for racing with MORE. "Jim runs a great series that is lots of fun and is a good, family atmosphere", ac-cording to Ken. 2005 was their first official year of racing, and they were able to complete every race of the MORE series, except for the Holiday 200 in December. A great racing season concluded with KST 578 finishing third in points in Class 5-1600. Today the car is known as the "KST Racing Bling Mobile", aka 578. (KST for Ken and Shelby Tol-bert.) They have now started their second racing series with MORE, and speed in for a first place finish in the Damzl 250 in January. This was the first victory for them in their racing career. They have made many great friends along the way in April 2006 all aspects of racing, and truly feel they are living their dream.

CLASS 1450: The 'No Rules' outlaw class, where you 'run what ya brung', for fun! And 28 racers turned out for the MDR WW250 to do just that! What a herd this was, too ... from almost bare bone stockers to some mighty nice rides, Class 1450 is definitely where the action is for this race. Six from the herd were DNS no-shows at the green flag on race day. Of the 22 that did start, 12 would dnf, and ten would finish. · But it was Driver of Record Dustyn Loppnow and his dad, Bryan Loppnow, who shared the real wheel duties to take first place in Class 1450 in truck #1473 in 4:29:01 at 37.5mph. This was Loppnow's first finish, and his victory included the Fast Lap Award too at 42.3mph on Lap 4 [4:00:03). Bryan Loppnow was the first driver in # 14 7 3 for Laps 1 and 2, with son Dustyn along in the co-driver's seat. Then it was Dusryn's turn at the wheel for Laps 3 and 4, along with his co-driver Wes Nemec. "A flat tire" at MM23 on Lap 1, and "getting whacked by a 1 car" were the only problems for the 5.8 Windsor motor powered 1989 Ford, as dad and son navigated #1473 through a "brutal" course with "lots of slow sections" and "a re-ally rocky last lap", to take the win. Despite being the last to see the green flag in the rear of the 1450 pack, the Giant 4-linked, king-pin front, suspension worked well all the way through the pack and the course to take # 14 7 3 to the winner's circle. Motoring home to take second place in Class 1450, just 52 sec-onds later was Craig Reynolds in truck #1456; in 4:29:53-at 37.3mph. Reynolds started second to last in his I-6L powered Ford F150, with a king-pin front and trailing arm rear suspension,. This was Reynold's fourth race in the truck, and his first finish; and his first, first place finish as well. Rey-nolds drove all four laps with co-driver Nick Lee, and reported a "clean but brutal race with holes and*#@*! rocks everywhere". It must have been, because Reynolds described his "most fun of the Dusty Times day" was "just seeing 'the end'," and a checkered flag and victory to boot, too. Third place honors went to Mike Salter and co-driver Roy Thomking in ODR Fab truck #1477 about an hour later, cross-ing the finish line to victory in 5:24:43 at 31.0mph. This was Salter's first race in his stock 1-6 powered, 1995 Ford F150; equipped with leaf spring rears and a ball joint front suspension. Other than blowing his P/S cap on Lap 1, and the co-driver's side front bump stop somewhere, Salter said "the course was nice but a little rough in spots". Jesse Weer and his co-driver An-drew Lee also started near the rear of the Class 1450 pack in truck #1474, but drove his rear-leaf sprung 2000 Ford through "some real rough and rocky stuff" in their "third race ever", to a fourth place finish in 5:34:06 at 30.5mph. Weer's only problem for the day was a stubborn jack that wanted to stay up when he wanted to go, at MM34 on the last lap. Shawn Giordano drove the #1478 truck to fifth place in Class 5:34:06 at 30.3mph. Beldin Alivio and the Dog Eater Racing team had a dawg's d day in the red Chevy truck #1457 at the MDR WW250, but still overcame a broken rear axle and a persistent breaking rear track rod to take the sixth place in class award in 5:37:48 at 29.8mph. And believe me folks when I say Alivio and his team were r~al 'madd dawgs' when it came down to it too. I watched in their pit as they changed the 40-spline Dana60 rear axle shaft in about ten minutes and then they were on their way again. Great effort! And "the one time we brought the spare axles" to boot. No kidding, huh. Belden and his co-driver Hansen had "a blast!" passing three or four other cars while flat our 'racing', especially with Greely [#1494], and then topping it off with 'a finish', over "a rough course". That's called 'the thrill of racing', eh. Chris Greeley finished in seventh place in 5:50:00 in truck #1484 at 28.8mph. Driving his 22RE-pow-ered Toyota all four laps to the checkered flag Greely said other than a flat tire at main at the end of Lap 3, the giant-equipped Ford FOR SALE: Short Course Su-per Buggy FAT Rabbit, 091 box w/457 R&P, Fox shox, Wilwood disk, Bead locks, 930 cv's, 300M axles/torsions, Power steering, PCI radio, steering brakes, 20 good or new tires ½ mounted, 5 boxes or spare parts, spare bumper & nerf bars, extra tranny.

I-beam front suspension worked 'Y.cllalldayeven dwttgh "the.course was all chopped up and boulders from Lap 2 to the finish". Greely was quick to add his most fun was "getting the pass on another 14 truck". Eighth place in Class 1450 went to Matt Helton in truck #1486, completing his four laps in 6:39:48 at 25.2mph. Matt Belcher grabbed the ninth place award, in his first race ever in his A-arm Toyota truck, #1483, completing the required laps in 6:51:43 at 2 4.5mph. Another "first race ever" rookie, Jerry Allen took two years to build his four cylinder Toyota Tacoma to be race ready, and then took 6:51:43 to complete the WW250 with co-driver Hassin Mendez for his first finish and victory too. Pretty good for a 'rookie' rookie, and over "a rougn and unforgiving course.,, to be sure. Welcome to desert racing, SoCal style. Twelve Class 1450 racers dnfd for one reason or another: Record-ing three laps in Class 1450 before seeing the dreaded dnf was Cameron Reeves in truck #1462, and Chris Russell in truck # 1465. Russell and co-driver Paul Ransom had a pick-up tube problem in their fuel cell on Lap 2, but still ran some consistent lap times before an eight-inch crack in the tail shaft of the 1993 Ford Ranger transmis-sion took our #1465 at MM14 on the last lap of the race. Brian Metcho and co-driver Michael Allen from Ventura, CA also 'first race ever' rookie 'rook-ies', made it through Lap 2 before their total Chaos II 3.0L V6 Toyota gave it up. Craig Wilk, yet another 'rookie' in truck #1472 also made two laps before the old 7S truck called it a day. Likewise, Shawn Kepler made it two laps too, before truck #1475 was out of the race too. First time racers Bran-don Kawalski and co-driver Eric Rehm joined the two lap rookie dnf pack in truck # 1463. Ryan Dowe also gave it a two lap go in truck #21458, but still had lots of company in the Class 1450 dnf bunch. Class 1450 racers who only recorded one lap dnf's at the WW250 included: Mike McKlintock #1497; Rubin Amaya #21471; Eric McKelvey #1461; Wes Featherstone # 1492; Cole Whitcher #1496; and Joshua Amagrande #21498.

Call (760 310-7424 or (760) 791-4749. 6:34:09 at 25.6mph. Orr's win wasn't without its problems though, when he broke the co-driver's side tie-rod at MM39, only four miles from the finish line on his last lap. Yoikes! This was Lee's first time out on Course A at Bar-stow, which he described as "rough, lots of rocks and holes, and tight". But that didn't deter Orr and co-driver Brian Porter from having their share of fun in a "first lap, back and forth, battle with Giti Gowland [#363] and a Fore Runner". Orr also won the Class 3 Fast Lap Award on Lap 3 at 33.0mph in 1:17:03. Fun times for all, I'm sure. Gowland certainly gave Orr a race through Lap 2, but water in the gas and pick-up tube problems put him out of contention after a frustrating five hour plus Lap 3. Better gas ... er luck, next time Giti! Robert Buchanan in the #305 Wee Bee Racing truck had the big-gest support group ever seen for Class 3, but he wouldn't be racing any more after Lap 3 when he dnf d along with Eric Helgison in truck #307. Bill Nissley also dnfd in truck #319 on his first lap. CIASS 1600: Three entries: one DNS and two OTL (Over Time Limit). Jody 'just let me finish' Hunt in car# 1671 gave it a great go, and the first race rookie 'gringa' did get her finish too, but OTL, in 8:04:27 at 31.2mph. From her smiles, I'd say Jody did indeed have "a lot of fun!" She ran a "clean race" and "just stopped for gas and oil" and a driver/ co-driver change, when the official clock just ran out of time. But 'finish' she did, nonetheless! . Hunt drove Laps 1 and 2 with co-driver Keith Hawkin, and said the course was "rough in spots". Hawkinds then took over the driv-ing duties for Laps 3-6, along with co-driver Chuck Eichelberger. Hunter said it was still a "fun race!" Paul Bailey also ran a full six laps, but OTL'd too ... by just 40 seconds in 8:00:40. Bailey broke a co-driver side king-pin and front shock on Lap 2 that took him al-most three and a half hours to fix. Bailey and co-driver Michael Licari "got it fixed and drove fast as we could, over some rough and !@*! dirt to finally catch #1671 on the last lap". Close, but no cigar. And that's the way It was at the MDR WildWash 250. Course A at Barstow is rough and tough dirt, and the racers who made it to the finish line and the checkered flag can be proud of their accomplish-ments. It ain't always easy, but it sure is fun! ~ WANTED: Full or part time ,ne-chank: for Class 1 r.~am. E.xpcti •nee nec~sarv, Fab skilk_a_plus. Oood-wor kcnvir.onmenl w/fl.:xibk houCt. San Diego.
