Trail Notes ... SOME Goon NEWS - I know everyone in off-road racing knows Art Savedra and his sidekick Big ),led aka David Longacer. Last year Big Red noticed some degradation in the vision in one eye. He cut short his vacation and went to UCLA medical center for a checkup. During the medical exam it was determined that Red had a cancerous growth behind the eye that was affecting the optical nerve. The treatment involved inserting an irradiated disk against his eye. For a while, two pirates were inspecting cars, one with a hook and the other with an eye patch. Last week Big Red received the results of a follow up medical exam. He remains free of any new cancer and the cancer behind his eye remains in remission. UNIVERSITY OF WiscoNSIN-MADisoN SAE BAJA TEAM TAKES IN THE CRANDON EXPERIENCE -Crandon, WI Quly 5, 2010) -The University of Wisconsin - Madison SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) Baja Team came to Crandon to not only to watch first hand how the competitors of the Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL tackle the rigors of short course off-road racing, but to learn about the latest technology that is being applied to the latest PRO and Sportsman racers. During the weekend the University's latest SAE Baja creation was on display all weekend at the Phil's Inc. team pit area. The UW-Madison team had just competed in the 2010 Baja SAE World Challenge in Rochester, New York the weekend before Crandon's spring event. The seven student team from UW-Madison competed against ninety-nine teams other representing universities from the United States, Canada, India, France, South Korea, and Venezuela. The SAE Baja World Challenge had the student teams compete in a variety of off-road disciplines in order to determine the team winner of the event. The various disciplines include design, cost, hill climb, acceleration, land maneuverability, water maneuverability, suspension and traction, endurance, teamwork and several others. The UW -Madison team had a very successful competition as the team took first place in acceleration, second place in the hill climb, and seventh overall in the event. Throughout the weekend at Crandon, team members Amanda Peterson, Andrew Pickard, Brian Dow, and Corey Haven had the opportunity to see up close PRO and Sportsman off-road competitors preparing for each day's events, spend time answering questions about their team, watch racing from the Ford Trucks Skyboxes, as well as getting interviewed by the track announcing team. "This was an incredible experience," noted Amanda Peterson. "I've been around off-road racing thanks to my dad, but to be able to take some of my teammates here and get them up close with all the aspects of off-road racing was really cool. Hopefully we can take use some of the information we gathered and apply it to our next SAE Baja racer. The process begins all over again this fall with the design of our latest buggy." The team thanks everyone that made the weekend possible. Mike Reusche from Phil's Inc. who arranged the weekend, Jeremy Meyer of AMSOIL who arranged the track interview, Javier Sanchez from Crandon Off-Road for offering the team Skybox passes, as well as everyone that came by to ask about the team. "Getting the UW team here is a great way to promote our sport," comment Mike Reusche. "Here are probably some of the smartest young adults around that want to be involved in off-road racing. This was a perfect way to put the connection all together. Hopefully some of the drivers and team owners took notice because you might see some these students either lined up next to you at the starting grid or working with a top PRO team in the very near future. I was a student member thirty years ago at Western Michigan University and the Frana brothers, Jeff (Red Bull Racing) and John (Super Buggy owner/driver) have both spent time in the SAE Baja program before graduating from their respective universities as well." TOYOTA MILESTONE AWARDS - Following the third of five races in the 2010 SCORE Desert Series, 22 of SCORE's toughest drivers remain in the hunt to earn 2010 SCORE Toyota Milestone Awards. Leading the way are five racers in the featured SCORE Trophy-Truck division and six in Class 1-2/1600 for 1600cc VW-powered open-wheelers and along with five racers in SCORE Lite. The five SCORE Trophy-Truck drivers who have completed every race mile so far this season are: Andy McMillin, National City, Calif. (Ford F-150), Jesse Jones, Litchfield Park, Ariz. (Ford F-150), Rob MacCachren, Las Vegas (Ford F-150), Mark McMillin, El Cajon, Calif. (Ford F-150) and Nick Vanderwey, Phoenix (Chevy Silverado). Nearly 125 entries are expected to compete in 18 Pro and 3 Sportsman classes for cars and trucks in the upcoming 15th Annual SCORE Las Vegas Terrible's Primm 300. Round 4 of the five-race 2010 SCORE Desert Series will be held Sept. 10-12 in Primm, Nev., 35 miles south of Las Vegas at the California border. The computerized drawing for start positions, by class, will be held Saturday, Aug. 7, at the SCORE headquarters in Los Angeles. Toyota is presenting these prestigious awards to the world's toughest desert racers for the 25th consecutive year. The Toyota Milestone awards will go to those pro car and truck drivers who finish every required mile in ·the five-race 2010 SCORE Desert Series, the World's Foremost Desert Racing Series. "Toyota is proud to honor the world's best desert racing drivers," said Les Unger, national motorsports manager at Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A. "For a quarter of a century, Toyota has had the privilege of presenting the SCORE Toyota Mil~stone Awards . to the toughest racers on the planet." This year marks the first time in the history of the SCORE Toyota Milestone Awards that four members of the same family as McMillin Racing has not only two drivers in the featured SCORE Trophy-Truck in Andy McMillin and his father Mark and Mark's sons Daniel, 22, and Luke, 17, have also completed .every required mile this season in the unlimited Class 1 and Class 1-2/1600, respectively. Leading the field in Primm, will be defending overall and SCORE Trophy-Truck race winner Robby Gordon, the NASCAR Cup series team owner/driver from Charlotte, N.C., who won last year's race in his No. 1 Robby Gordon Motorsports Chevy CK1500.

Both Foust and Deegan will be piloting Ford Fiesta rally cars in the Rally and Super Rally racing events at X Games 16, July 29 - August 1. Brian Deegan was one ofEtnies' early moto-x team riders in the 1990s when the brand first entered motorsports. Deegan has been a leader on the team for many years, and in 2009, he introduced the brand to Rally Racing when he entered the X Games Rally Racing competition and took fourth place, despite major mechanical damage. In addition to his 10 X Games medals and co-founding the Metal Mulisha, Deegan has been a driving force behind freestyle motocross since its inception. He recently made a successful transition to four-wheel racing with a strong showing in X Games 15 Rally racing, and an Unlimited Lites Championship in LOORRS off-road truck racing. "I am stoked to be back driving a rally car for X Games this year. Rally cars are badass, they have so much horsepower and are really fun to drive," said Brian Deegan. "I have been with Etnies for 14 years now and they always support me. If I am doing Freestyle, Rally or Truck racing, they always have my back." The Rally and Super Rally events are going to be amazing this year at X Games, and I'm excited to be part ofEtnies," said Foust. "It's always a highlight of the season to compete in Los Angeles and the Ford Fiestas are the cars to beat this year." Known for his winning track record, Rockstar Energy Drink driver Tanner Foust is one of only four drivers that have been invited to compete in every X Games Rally competition - scoring gold in 2007, silver in 2008 and bronze in 2009. Foust represented Team USA in the annual Race of Champions twice, has earned two Formula DRIFT championship titles, a Production Rally championship title and five lee Racing championships. He is also well-known for his driving off the track, with appearances as the lead stunt driver in the films Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift, Bourne Ultimatum, Dukes of Hazzard, Red Dawn and Iron Man 2.

lJ\J2C RALLY OF PORTUGAL Ogier-Citroen Take The Gold By Martin Holmes Photos: Maurice Selden Sebastien Ogier and Julien Ingrassia drove their Citroen C4 to the overall win in Portugal, they're seen here at high speed. Loeb beaten! The Rally of Por-tugal provided one of the most major upsets in recent times when the six times World Champion, and Citroen's number one driver was unable to stop the Citroen Ju-nior driver Sebastien Ogier from winning. Ogier' s arrival at the top of the podium was the first time a new driver has scored a World rally win since Jari-Matti's debut win in Sweden in 2008, the year when Ogier's international career was starting and the year when Citroen Racing director Olivier Quesnel joined the team. Portugal provided a magnificent display of superior dynamic balance of their C4 World Rally Cars, being able to handle the highly abrasive surface of the gravel stages in a superior way to the Fords. And except for a moment of indiscre-tion by Petter Solberg on the final superspecial stage which elevated Mikko Hirvonen's Ford up to fourth, they would have achieved a 1-2-3-4 result. The sixth round of the 2010 World Rally Championship was a genuinely classic event, a rally which was run in the year the championship started, in 1973, and which has continually adapt-ed itself to the changing face of the sport, the first such classic event held at WRC level in mainland Europe this year. The route of this year's Rally of Portugal was very similar to that run last year, with one full stage in reverse direction to before but basically keeping the format used each year since the event first moved down to the Algarve region in 2005. With the event nowadays run wholly in the far south of the country, there was a special treanhis year for the fans in the north. A spectacular 'Road Show' demonstration of rally cars and their drivers held in Porto the weekend before the event. Running three weeks after the preceding round in New Zealand, Ford had carried out development work in advance of asphalt rally-ing, with three days at Millbrook in Britain. Ken Block was back again in the WRC, this time at the wheel of a very special Focus. "SUX" is the car used for the past two years for the bulk ofM-Sport's testing and the only events it has done have been two promo-tional events (Monza Rally and Memorial Bettega) in the hands of Valentino Rossi. While many rallies this year have amalgamated their WRC event with rounds of national championship events, and thereby artificially bolstered the total number of competitors to be seen, the Rally of Portugal boasted the biggest entry of the season for dedicated WRC com-petitors. Entries finally closed at 7 5 crews, with towards half of the entry comprising either World Rally Cars (18) or Super 2000 (14) cars. All five WRC teams were present together with the Petter Solberg Rally Team, back with the car he used in New Zealand fully repaired. Interesting other World Rally Car entries included the Alliance Racing Team cars, a Peu-geot for Jean-Marie Cuoq and a Focus for Laurent Carbonaro, Bo-zian Peugeots for Spyros Pavlides and the Hungarian driver Frigyes Turan and the Ipatec Focus for Rene Kuipers. The event counted for several categories. Firstly this was the fifth round of the SWRC series. Vitor Pascoal was nominated in the category as a Guest driver with his Peugeot. A surprise absentee how-ever was the national champion Bruno Magalhaes. There were various non-championship S2000 drivers including Dennis Kuipers (son of Rene) who was entered by Stobart M-Sport Ford Rally Team, a tactic which under a new cham-pionship rule this year gives him automatic Priority 3 status with consequent privileges. Big news was that Nasser Al Attiyah had left the Rene Georges Skoda team and moved back to Autotek, renewing a successful' seven year partner-ship, to compete in a Fiesta. Mi-chal Kosciuszko however changed to the Czech Skoda JM Racing, as replacing the Fiesta he crashed in Jordan had proved compli-Jari Ketomaa and Mika Stenberg drove their Ford Fiesta S2000 to the SWRC/ WRCC win, they also finished 11th overall in the rally. cated.

Sebastien Loeb and Daniel Elena had to settle for second spot this time, they were eight seconds in arrears at the flag in their Citroen C4. in front of Kevin Abbring. For one of the first times this year the service park seemed a hive of activity, heightened when Kos-ci uszko 's wrecked Jordan Rally Fiesta S2000 was brought in and teams began to cannibalise the de-stroyed car! Drivers at the pre-rally press conference confirmed that dust in recce was as big a problem as ever, made worse by bunching competitors together for the stages to be recce' d in the afternoon. The abrasiveness of the surfaces was going to lead to controlled compromises between pushing hard and conserving the tyres, especially in the second pas.ses through the stages. Day 1 - 6 Stages -Gravel - 128.58kms The event had 74 starters, with only one absentee from the origi-nally published Entry List being a Fiesta driver who had hoped to come over from Chile. Activities started with the first run round the superspecial at Faro stadium on Thursday evening at 19.30 in the failing light of the evening. It was extremely good fun for the thousands of fans in Faro stadium. Cars were run in reverse order with the final run between Loeb and Hirvonen in darkness. Hirvonen made fastest time at the superspecial with Federico Villa-gta second, the first time Villagra had ever been so high up in the overall classification of a world championship rally! JWRC driver Alex Broccoli found the stage frustrating as his Renault had a fuel pump problem. Under special rules applying to these sections he was penalised three minutes and allowed to restart the rally proper the following morning. The inevitable stage cleaning process got underway on the first full day of competition, giving a heaven sent opportunit·y to fourth-running Sebastien Ogier to shine. Actually on the first few stages it was sixth running Dani Sordo who was ahead and at the end of the first loop third running Hirvonen was third, fifth running Petter Solberg was fourth and first driver Sebastien Loeb was fifth. $econd runner, Jari-Matti Latvala was driving safely, lying sixth! The four official Citroen drivers risked taking one spare wheel, a weight-saving manoeuvre which worked well, while all the Fords took two. Sordo had a curious misfortune when the passenger door hinge failed as his codriver Marc Marti tried get out to help change the tyres round between stages. Kha-lid Al Qassimi damaged the left rear bodywork on his Focus, the very same bodywork part that was damaged at the road show in Porto when Latvala had been Dusty Times demonstrating in the car! Hen-ning Solberg hurt his arm when the steering wheel suddenly spun round. Kimi Raikkonen found it very difficult to gauge the braking distances. Pavlides only reached the end of the second stage when his Peugeot 307 WRC caught fire and was destroyed. On the second run through the loop of three stages the conditions were raw. Ford's tyre consultant George Black said the abrasiveness of the roads was like the Acropo-lis Rally at its worst! All the top crews carried two spare wheels. There was no chance to take risks, punctures were expected. Most drivers compromised their speed effectively. Big shock was the dra-matic exit of Ken Block, rolling off the road at a right hander over a blind crest. Later it was discov-ered the roll cage had been dam-aged and he was forced to retire, his second big accident in three weeks. Petter Solberg had a huge speed puncture two kilometres before the end of the final stage of the day -the delay dropping him down to fifth, no bad place to restart for Day 2. Ogier's lead had consequently jumped from 8.6 to 26.6 seconds on the final stage, having been further enhanced when second placed Sordo lost time with a blocked throttle, this made him drive into a garden be-fore reversing out. Suddenly Loeb had risen to third place, overtak-ing Hirvonen and of course Petter Solberg. Henning Solberg had more steering trouble, this time the steering column mounting broke and the steering wheel itself fell into his lap. Raikkonen was gradually gaining in confidence. Mads Ostberg started to struggle with his Subaru, having to be more aggressive to place the car into the bends, a manoeuvre which simply increased the stress on the front tyres. Eyvind Brynildsen took the lead of the SWRC in the Rene Georges' Skoda on the opening superspecial but then the engine would not restart in the morning, the problem eventually traced to a faulty coil. This let Jari Ketomaa ahead, against his better judg-ment, as he wanted to bide his time before making an attack, avoiding pressing hi.s car too hard in the conditions. Nasser Al Atti-yah then went ahead, the Qatari a changed man, happy once again in a rally car! His codriver Giovanni Bernacchini confirmed his sea-change in character, "He loves the team, he loves the car (Fiesta), he is very happy!" Michal Kosciuszko was nervous in his Fabia, "It keeps jumping from side-to-side on the straights, I cannot hold it in a straight line." Albert Llovera had Xavier Pons and Alex Haro took second place honors in SWRC/ WRCC in their Ford Fiesta S2000, they took the 12th overall spot. a door·seal fall off which caused his Fiat to be filled with dust. PG Andersson lost more time than he would have liked, "I found I was forever changing down a gear unnecessarily." Nasser lost the lead in the SWRC on the final stage of the day when the power steering system lost all its fluid, elevating Ketomaa back into the lead. Andersson held third all day, though he was struggling when the front tyres began wearing out badly. Kosciuszko was learning how to compromise speed for tyre wear on his Skoda. Janne T uohino drove a long way on a flat tyre. Llovera's Fiat started to jump into neutral during gear changes. In the JWRC Lemes made best time on the superspecial but then Thierry Neuville went into the lead. Kevin Abbring gave chase but then punctured which dropped him behind Aaron Bur-kart and Lemes. Hans Weijs drove nearly all the morning stages using just the handbrake as he had brake failure. Harry Hunt lost nearly half an hour when he went off the road, but was able to continue. Neuville went off the road on the final stage of the day and the car was jammed against an electricity pole. There was a long delay before the car could be retrieved, the electricity supply had to be isolated, but then the gearbox was found_ to be losing oil. This caused him to be too late to apply for SupeRally and he had to abandon the rally. Neu-ville' s retirement allowed Burkart into the lead after a day driving cautiously trying to avoid all the rocks. Broccoli had two punctures August 2010 and a fuel pump problem. Ab-bring was cruising, knowing he was already in a potential podium position. Lemes was content in second place despite a spin. Hunt continued through the day with brake problems. Weijs retired with engine failure. Ott Tanak was again quite the fastest of the Pirelli Star Driv-ers. On all six stages on the Fri-day he was the fastest orthodox Group N driver, but always the fastest six cars were Super 2000s. Hayden Padden suffered a bro-ken gearbox which meant he was running further down the field than ideal, and then he hit a pole which broke the steering. This meant that he missed a stage and had to restart under SupeRally rules. After the early battles be-tween Brynildsen and Al Attiyah for the overall lead in Group N, Juho Hanninen pulled ahead in his non-championship Skoda Fabia S2000, finishing the day 6. 7 seconds in front of Ketomaa's Fiesta. Herman Gassner stopped on stage five with transmission failure. Dennis Kuipers stopped with an alternator belt problem, connected to the same sort of problem as suffered by many Fies-tas in Jordan. The FIA President Jean Todt came to the rally and held a press conference after the end of the day's activities. Day 2 - 6 Stages -Gravel -135.l0kms Today should have been very different. It was expected to be rougher and even more demand-ing. 68 cars restarted. Missing was Block, his car was reported to have only minor damage, but at a criti-cal point the roll cage was dam-aged. Ogier started off first car on the road and found the conditions were not quite as demanding as ex-. pected, in fact he expected to lose a lot more time to drivers running behind him on the first loop than happened. On the second stage of the day there was a shock, the pre-mature exit of Latvala. He had left the road at a perilous-place over a crest where the road then passed between two rocks. "A very precise line was needed there," a rival ex-plained. Anyway, Latvala spun on landing and the rear of the car was damaged against a tree. Ford's day was getting worse by the minute. Teammate Mikko Hirvonen lost a lot of time in the middle part of the second stage of the loop, "There the road was wider and the car was sliding around too much." It was serious enough to drop Hirvonen down to fifth place. Citroen cars were now holding the top four places. It was all neatly going to plan for Loeb, by the second stage he had climbed up to second, but strangely Ogier was still holding the lead. He started the day 26.8 seconds in front, at midday it was still 22.9s. Up in to eighth place was Mads Ostberg, the Subaru Impreza S 14 one place in front of Kimi Raikkonen. Hen-ning Solberg was going well in sixth place, despite intermittent fuel pump problems while Mat-thew Wilson said the car seemed to be sliding too much. Federico Villagra rounded off the top ten despite dust entering and flying around inside the car. Conditions on the second run through a loop of three stages were expected once again to create a reversal of rally leaders but once again it did not happen, despite the cleaning effect on the surfaces. -It-was the same story again, drivers were paying more attention to pre-serving their tyres so they could drive with a steady rhythm, than worrying about tactical situations. So it was that front runner Sebas-tien Ogier dropped only a little over five seconds to his closest ri-vals during the day. So far as Ogier was concerned, he also knew that Loeb would be in no way anxious to press him for the lead at all. Both went through the afternoon without trouble, but Sordo mis-judged his aggression on stage 11, Continued on page 16 Page 15

Petter had a problem when the steering rack mounting failed. Mads Ostberg was distracted by a flashing alert light on the dash. Kimi Raikkonen's car was pulling to the right on acceleration and Federico Villagra still had dust get-ting into the car. Missing on this final morning was Henning Sol-berg who stopped with alternator failure whjch flattened the battery and also caused the engine water pump to stop. In SWRC Nasser Al Attiyah and PG Andersson were both back again in action. Ketomaa was comfortably in the lead, although his Fiesta had a split exhaust manifold which did not improve his car's comfort, which was suf-fering (like in all the Fiestas) with very hot interiors because of the · close proximity of the catalytic converter to the bodywork. The only serious problem for Keto-maa, which also afflicted Al At-tiyah, was a steering rack problem. Kosciuszko had a rear puncture. Ketomaa's victory was his second successive win in the category. Although Tuohino had a spin he secured second place which meant Ford scored a 1-2 result in the category. Kosciuszko .was the first Skoda, taking third place, ahead of Sousa (Ford), Andersson (Skoda), Pascoal (Peugeot) and Al Attiyah (Ford). Infact all ten start-ers in the category were classified! In JWRC Kevin Abbring was relaxed, winning the category from Kruuda by over five minutes, the only two to complete the route. Of those in "the category running under SupeRally Burkart headed Lemes, Valdes and Hunt. In the championship standings Abbring and Burkart are now equal on 40 points, 14· points ahead of Kruuda. All but one of the Pirelli Star Drivers finished the event. Tanak retired after the first stage of the day after hitting a rock and losing a wheel. Paddon became the top placed PSD driver, even though he had been delayed by gearbox trouble on the first day. There were two battles waiting to be settled. Could Loeb catch Ogier and win the rally, and who would take third place -Sordo, Petter Solberg Or the Ford driver Hirvonen. Petter tried hard but dropped behind Sordo after the second stage of the day and then behind Hirvonen after the stadi-um stage. Hirvonen tried his hard-est but his tyres were failing him, so Sordo gained third and the final podium spot, his best result so far this season. Fourth place for Hirvonen was little consolation to Ford, while Petter Solberg finished fifth. Although Raikkonen briefly rose to hold eighth place he then had to drive stage 16 with a flat tyre and dropped down to tenth place. All that now remained was the superspecial back at the Faro stadium where a surprised Fed-erico Villagra found himself fast-est. Ogier gained his first World Rally victory and Citroen finished 1-2-3.

ROUND #J curt Geer Wins Limited Buggy By Homer Eubanks Devore, CA: The Glen Helen series presented its third round of racing on the second weekend in June, under gloomy, cloudy skies. But the en-try was up and the racing was fun and fun to watch. New dates have been an-nounced for the rest of the series. In an attempt to avoid date conflicts with other events, the Glen Helen folks have j uggled t hings around, so the next four dates will be July 11, Augu st 15, October 3 a n d November 7. As always, the audience seems to include old rac-ers who come out to enjoy a day of spectating. This time we saw Rick Sigloch and Eric Arras, old 5-1600 racers, wh o were there to watch their friend, Dave Anckner race in the same car theyid won seven races in, back in 1982. Another old racer was Rafael Navar-ro, who brought his young son, and a very old car, origin ally built by Pepe Rodriguez, to race in t h e limited b u ggy class. The first event of t h e af-Photos: Trackside Photo ternoon was for the Pilots. There were only three of them, and it was down to two fairly quickly as Jeff Hildebrandt came to a stop in the middle of Turn 1 on the first lap and had to be towed away. Steve Nelson, of Norco, led all the way, to take the win. Behind him Jerry Byerman, whois a paraplegic and has also lost some use of his hands, controls his vehicle with his hand velcroed to the steer in g knob. Heis new to racing, and determ ined to learn. Rino Navera was the only Pro lite Unlimited truck on the scene, he ran the first heat, waived the second heat, took the Class win. In their second heat Hil-debrandt didnit come out at all, his vehicle appar-ently not fixable, so it was once again a two car event. Nelson was once again the winner, with Hildebrandt in second place. The second race of the day was for a mixed bag of buggies and Baja Bugs, and since they had just one small truck, they started him about a minute be-hind them and let him have some fun working his way up through the pack. Todd Cunningham drove the Pro Short Course Lite truck, the only entrant in that class, and enjoyed the chance for some practice and fine tuning on the truck. Although he started about a minute back, he managed to lap the entire field, which didnit give him any arguments, and finished first each time. The group running with him was led by Blake Slat-er, of Fontana, in a hybrid Baja Bug with a 2.6 liter Subaru motor which actu-ally r uns as a C lass 1 car. Running second it was Ma-rio Bust a mo nte in a short course 5-1600 and then David Anckner in his des-ert 5/ 1600. John Alfonso r a n a s the only Class 12 b u ggy, but his motor went up in smoke on Lap 3 and after being towed away he didnit come out to race again. Slater tried hard to hold off Cunninghamis truck, but as he rounded a cor-ner on the fourth lap his driveris side door popped open, and he had to stop to deal with it, putting him a lap down to Cunningham. Meanwhile, Anckner was having trouble getting sec-ond gear, and Bustamonte ran serenely on. Cunningham got his laps done, to record a finish and win, and Bustamonte went on in good shape to lead Anckner to the end. When they came out for their second heat Slater had his door firmly shut and he went into the lead. Bustamonte was second a n d An ck n er r a n th i rd :• as Cunningham began to work his way up through the group. But the group shrank by one, as on the third lap Anckneris car 'just quit.' He later said he thought it was electrical. Meanwhile, Slater tried hard to stay with the truck, but was not quite able to. He spun in Turn 4 and lost some ground on the fifth lap, and then on lap eight he pulled off the track for a moment to check some-thing on the right rear of the car. That cost him a lap.

Davis and Williams put on a terrific race and pushed so hard they built a big lead on the rest of the pack. Williams would catch Davis in the turns, but Davis could accelerate out faster each time. Bar-rett ran third, fending off a charge by Lansing. On the last lap Williams finally got by Davis in Turn three and he man-aged to hang on to the lead to take the win. At the finish line interview he said it 'was a helluva race!' Davis said this was his first time here, and he was 'coming back.' Heis a desert racer also, son of Kevin Davis. Barrett fin-ished a nice third, Lansing was fourth and Jim Si-zelove managed to squeak past Munoz to finish fifth on the last lap·. For the weekend it was Williams, Barrett and Lansing. The fourth race of the day was for the Pro Super short course buggies, and there were seven of them. They had a land rush start also, and one of them spun in a cloud of dust in the first turn. But they all came out of it all right, with Shaun Gibson, of Corona, in the lead. Greg Foster, Anaheim Hills, ran second and Steven Greinke, of Orange, was third. But on the second lap Gibson got too high on the berm in Turn 1 and high-centered himself. That left Foster and Gre-inke dueling for the lead . Now John Holmes, new to short course, and without any rear brakes, ran third. Scott McDowell, from Simi Valley, was struggling, his car not running well. On the fourth lap it was The UTV Unlimited win went to John Dempsey, he won both races and took first overall for the class, here at speed. Foster and Greinke out in front, and Holmes was third, as McDowell pulled off the track with a left rear flat. Foster and Gre-inke continued to battle for the next six or seven laps, as Holmes hung on to third place. But then on the twelfth lap Hol-mes stopped, with a right rear flat, and McDowell, whoid come back out a couple of laps down, also developed a flat, another left rear had gone down. (Heid had flats in practice also.) Foster took the win with Greinke second and Ken Schertzer, of Imperial Beach in third. The ~econd heat for the Pro Buggies had only six cars, because McDowell, apparently out of tires, didnit come out. At the green flag Gibson jumped into the lead with Foster chasing and Holmes in third. On the second lap Andy Alsobrook, of Te-hachapi, spun in Turn 4 and again in Tt:1rn 2, and fell way back. Gibson continued to lead and Foster chased him, while Holmes was trying to fend off a charge In the Powder Puff race it was Shelby Halsey taking the win, she's seen here on her way to the checkered flag.

Then, on the last lap, Gibson pulled out, and Foster went on to take the win. It seems that Gib-son's car "got hot" and he pulled out to save the mo-tor. Greinke finished sec-ond, and Schertzer, with a steady race, moved into third. His car is a Hustler, built at Jesse Rodriguezis shop. He said it's the first new car he's ever had.

Holmes, who fin-ished fifth, said he'd bro-ken third and fourth gear, "but I learned a bunch!"

I~---_:_• I YERINGTON 300 Sam. Berri 1st in Class 1 · 1st overall By Troy Robinson Photos: Steve Brosz .. Nothin' new here, Sam Berri took the win in the Class 1 contest and Sam was the overall race winner as well. Sam Berri proved once again he is the king at Vorra by capturing yet another class and overall win in the stacked 65 car field at this years Yerington 300 desert race in Yerington Nv, just southeast of Reno, NV. The race course was traditional Yerington: fast, fast, fast with a couple of summits and a rough section I like to call "comfortably numb". I guess it's just the car set up I drive that makes it this way, some sportsman guys call the track fast with sections of rollers and rougher whoop sections. A busy Saturday as teams tried to pre-run in the morning then get downtown for tech and registration. Line up to an hour for registration is rare but that was the case as there was a very large turnout. Drivers meeting in the afternoon followed by a parade of race· cars up and down main street. A slightly different race format this year: Quads off the line at 6:30 am for 2 laps of competition followed at 9:00am for limited classes 9, 11 and UTV. This allowed those "slower" classes to be further ahead of the leading fast car than if they started behind all the faster cars. Pro & sportsman classes started at 10:00am with :30 intervals. It turns out the last car left the line at 10:27am and the first class 11 car completed the lap at 10:29am. Perfect timing. First car off the line was Clayton Scudder (211) followed by Rick Massie (24) and then Sam Berr-i (149). Sh a n ·n on Har we 11 ( 13 2) started 5th and was quickly up to the top two running but the dust and lack of Patrick Timmons had a nice race, he took the gold medal in the Class 10 contest, seen here at speed on the course .

By check point 3 Berri was around Scudder and Massie and on his way to the class win. Running cons-istent lap times all under 57 minutes averaging 53 mph. It took Harwell a bit to get by Scudder then Massie but he did by the end of lap 1 and was running 2nd to_ Berri. That wouldn't last long for Harwell as just past visual A he broke an upper a arm and was out for the day. Massie would have some issues too. The truck pitched an axle out of the side cover and it took Pro Pit some time to McGyver some repairs and get them going good as new. But then the engine started running poorly and they fought fuel issues all the way to the end of 6 laps and were given the finish and 4th place despite~ being 7 minutes over the time limit. Meanwhile, Jeff Stiles (117) was running 3rd then up to second but dnf's also after 4 laps. Mike Viola (134) debuted his new single-seater and was havfng a good run and was running with a heavy heart. The Wednesday prior to the race the car didn't have a transmission in it and his mom was admitted to the hospital. By Friday she took a turn for the worse and passed away. Doing what they knew she would have wanted the Viola race team ran anyway and dedicated the 2nd place finish to his mom.

The site had hosted off-road races for twenty straight years before going silent in 2006. The event was promoted by area businessman Ronn Krueger and MORR (Midwest Off-Road Racing) lent a hand with the organizing of the event. This was the first TORC event under full control of USAC and if this event is an indication of the remainder of the season, short-course off-road racing in the Up-per Midwest is in great hands.

Dusty Times Photos: J&L Photograaphy eighty racers signed up to tackle the ¾ mile long track that incor-porated the majority of the ½ mile clay circle track and a sec-tion of the infield. The course had a few high speed jumps and a lengthy rhythm section right down the middle of the infield. Whether you were driving a buggy or truck, the layout would offer unique challenges to every driver in the field. The weather the day before It was a really big win for Dale Chestnut as he swept to the win in the Classix in his really good looking Ford. was an indication of what to ex-pect the rest of the weekend. In-termittent showers would yield to bright sunshine all weekend long. With weather like this, a water truck was never needed. Because of the natural occur-ring moisture throughout the weekend, practice was cancelled for both days. Unfortunately the first group of racers each day also served as track driers for the rest of the competition. Round One The first group out on the track was the combined Classix and Formula 4x4 race. Both classes ran together, but for separate race and contingen-cy purses. The Formula 4x4 group saw Dave Miah in his red Bronco dominate the field with 2009 Class Champion Dave Demaagd coming in second. Meanwhile Dale Chestnut lead flag to flag as Eric Chernetski battled through the field for the runner-up spot. Next up was the Light Buggy race were seventeen drivers lined up two by two for the rolling start. Matt Gerald came from the back of the pack to win the season opener. While Greg Stingle out dueled Jeff Virnig for the second spot, as Virnig rounded out the podium. The V8 powered Enduro Trucks were next up. These are truly stock trucks with almost no performance modifications allowed. A strong group of ten racers made the lineup with Brent Smith grabbing the early lead and holding it all the way to the check-ered flag. Second place went to Brandon Rouse, and the final spot on the podium went to Matt Ives. 1600 Single Buggy came to race with twelve competitors, Some of the best drivers in the country compete at this class and Wisconsin's Mark Steinhardt and Nebraska's John Fitzgerald are no exception.

At the fin-ish it was Vanden Heuvel taking his first big truck win, with Sch-reiner second and new comer Michael Baker third. One of the concepts to assist Sportsman racers with the cost of racing is the "Performance of the Race" award. Each race during Round One a driver was chosen who drove a really great race. Sometimes it maybe the winner of the race, other times it can be someone that everyone noticed thanks to their driving performance.

What does a pneumat-ic wrench, a window washer and a tree frog have in com-mon? Launching today, BFGo-odrich® Tires' new national advertising campaign will an-swer that question. While the company hopes this campaign will have consumers "jumping" into stores to purchase a new set of tires, it is not the rea-son they are showcasing a tree frog. Instead, the company is focusing on the characteristics of the amphibian to illustrate the grip of new set of BFGo-odrich tires. Other animal metaphor s throughout the campaign will bring the company's message home, enabling consumers to understand just how easy it is to bolt on grip, acceleration and toughness to their vehicles. This national broadcast, print and online advertising campaign heralds a new ap-proach for BFGoodrich Tires, providing consumers with a series of unconventional and obviously fictitious situations to help clearly visualize key tire benefits. The campaign il-lustrates that while consumers cannot literally bolt on a chee-tah's "legs" for acceleration or Dusty Times

a tree frog's "hands" for grip, they can achieve the grip, accel-eration and toughness for their vehicles by simply bolting on a set of BFGoodrich tires. "Although not all consumers aspire to be race car drivers, rally pros or drifting champi-ons, they can get a more ex-hilarating driving experience by owning tires with the same at-tributes of those used by these driving experts," said Tom Ju-pena, marketing communica-tions manager for BFGoodrich Tires. Among the BFGoodrich Tires' records and accolades touted in the advertising: Grip: The first street tire to pull a lg turn Acceleration: The first street tire to run a sub-eight second quarter mile Toughness: 20 straight SCORE Baja 1000 victories While the animal kingdom captured the spotlight for this campaign, it was supported by two stars in the automotive world. Both are members of BFGoodrich Tires' TeamBFG program, a diverse coalition of auto enthusiasts who share BFGoodrich Tires' passion for motorsports. Two-time For-mula Drift champion Samuel Hubinette did the stunt driving for the spots and Rally pro Lars Wolfe provided technical and special counsel. The vehicles featured in the ads include a Ford Mustang GT with BFGo-odrich g-Force™ Super Sport A/S tires and a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution with BFGo-odrich g-Force Super Sport A/S tires. The BFGoodrich Tires team led the development of the new campaign in cooperation with a senior level team from The Martin Agency, located in Richmond, VA. The new campaign features a media plan that includes a variety of televi-sion, print and Internet adver-tising mediums. Online and television adver-tising featuring the tree frog metaphor will launch on July 14. This first television spot will also be introduced on BF-Goodrich Tires' Facebook page and YouTube channel. Print versions of the tree frog will begin appearing in September issues. Cheetah and "tough-ness" print ads will get rotated in later in the year. Dealers are also supporting the campaign with point-of-sale materials and advertising materials designed to extend and enhance their own local marketing plans. Using motorsports as a prov-ing ground for more than 35 years, BFGoodrich® Tires is involved in every type of rac-ing, including oval, sports car, drifting, drag, desert, dirt, rally and extreme rock crawling. BF-Goodrich Tires combines tech-nological expertise with vast motorsports experience, deliv-ering a high-performance tire for every type of vehicle.

Dusty Times CHECKERS NEWSLETTER El Chinero CHECKERS CHATTER The "1000" pit meeting will be close to Contingency. Stop by for a beverage. Chris Wilson snagged (even) more ink for his win at NORRA in a borrowed racing vehicle. Check out four-wheel drive and Bronco mags. CLUB CAREERS -One of a series SAGGED OUT -Several of our Checkers are card-car-rying members of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG): Steve Luport and Malcolm Bryce. To name two. No, they don't get to emote in "Hamlet" and they NEVER get the girl; these are the dirty-hands-men-behind-that-curtain. Malcolm is a studio light-ing tech, a "gaffer", whose resume reads from '84 on productions such as "24" and "Titanic". He even "SAG-ed" as a "Driver"; how apt. Bryce runs a Jim Moulton "12" car -the chassis specially formed to contain his towering, Jovian stature. "I'm a Chief Lighting Tech, and my company is "Light'n Up Studio Lighting Services" -lighting , grips, and "Honda of North Hollywood" (?) gen-erator rentals. My first day in the biz was "Ghostbusters"; bigger shows were "Goonies", "Batman 3", "Lethal Mel Gib-son 3", "Christmas Vacation", and "Vegas Vacation". That was a wild three months. On "Titanic", in Baja, 'Pro-duction' had us work Thanks-giving; not too happy about that so the crew went into Ro-sarito for a little tequila holi-day. The next morning wasn't pretty; I had to be driven to the set in the attire that I had on prior. I ended up hiding in the set next to where ("James") Cameron (not "Steele") was shooting, lubricated the Ti-tanic for several hours with the remains of Mexican spirits -just wanted to die right, luck-ily the powers-that-be never knew a thing."

It was said that some even worked, but that is, of course, only a rumor. " ... COME '11"' Many Checkers of the long-time rank-and-John-Files type questioned Billy R's sanity: "WTF you doin' in a### '11 '? Have you lost your mind?" Some thought that Bill might have digitally-stuttered when he entered as "Class 1" and ended up with "Class 11 ". (Or "Class 111" -yet a new Sal class?)

Summary For the "1000" The Check-ers promise to be on top of their game, including Larki (Oops, we overran the maxi-mum allowable word limit.) August 2010 TORC at Antigo from p11139 . marker while coming through Turn One. The buggy went in to a spectacular double barrel roll ending with Steiny's buggy defi-nitely worse for the wear. Gladly Mark was able to walk away from the incident. Meanwhile John Fitzgerald took another win, as Mike Seefeldt rebounded from a poor start the day before to finish second, as another Upper Peninsula racer, Brad Erickson came across the line in third. Speaking of Michigan's Up-per Peninsula, Scott Beauchamp did it again; the Iron Mulisha member grabbed the lead by lap three and was never challenged. Eric Ruppel tried to smoke the competition for a second day in a row as his transmission gradu-ally melted down; nevertheless the former class champion took a well deserved runner-up fin-ish. Third place finisher Don Demeny barely made the start of the race. Overnight he repaired a driveline issue, rebuilt part of his engine, and just after breakfast the crew had to make a transmission change. The never give up attitude of his family and friends paid off with a spot on the podium. Super Buggy came down to another shootout between Scott Schwalbe and CJ Greaves, but this time Greaves was first to cross the finish line. This was the teenager's first career short course win. Scott Schwalbe took the second spot as Luke "The Sticker Dude" Zoetmulder fin-ished in third. This was a career best finish for "The Sticker Dude." Light rain had begun to fall during the Super Buggy race, but by the time the final event of the weekend was ready to start it was a serious downpour. The com-bined Limited 2 and PRO-Light finally was another survival test. The polesitter Dan Baudoux (thanks to last place finish in Round One) dominated, with all his competition behind him battling the track conditions, the "Rocketman" cruised to vic-tory. Rhonda Konitzer crossed the finish in second, and Round One winner Mike Vanden Heu-vel rounded out the top three. Just as the final race of the weekend was complete, the rain stopped and the sun came out, a perfect ending to the opening weekend of Sportsman racing in the TORC Series. New for 2010 USAC is stream-ing all TORC events live on their website: http://www.usacracing. com/usac_live/usac_live_main and every round of racing will be archived online for viewing at anytime during the year. The traveling off-road show stops at the "Big House" June 19-20 in Crandon, Wisconsin. The Traxxas TORC Series pre-sented by AMSOIL will be host-ing the opening rounds of the PRO series as well as rounds 3 & 4 of the Sportsman series. The opening weekend of Sportsman racing for the TORC series was a big hit with the racers, fans, and the local com-munity. The last few months saw several groups (MORR, TORC, and USAC) concerned with state of Midwest off-road racing, working together to cre-ate a larger, stronger form of motorsports. The first public signs of the efforts were evident at the weekend of racing in An-tigo, Wisconsin. Look for more Sportsman off-road racers to be back racing when the TORC Se-ries make its next stop in Cran-don, Wisconsin. '7""'c:!II~ Page·41

T ORC SPORTSMAN -The organization behind Bark River International Off-Road Raceway, one of the most established short course off-road races in North America, the Bark River Lions Club is contributing $5,000 to the end of the year championship points fund for the Sportsman racers of the Traxxas TORC Series p'resented by AMSOIL. Since 1976, the UP Off-Road 100 has gone through many changes, but year after year the racers, the campers, the spectators, and the television crews keep coming back in record numbers to this iconic facility. The two events are not only a part of the economic fiber in Bark River, but all of Delta County Michigan. The Bark River Lions Club and the 350 volunteers use the two weekends of racing as their primary fund raisers. The money collected is used to assist in various national, regional, and local projects, including the Michigan Eye Bank, the Bay Cliff Health Camp, and the Bark River Township Sports Complex. "Sometimes I don't think the racing community realizes how much their presence at our two race events means to our community," noted Lion Club member Gary Lantagne. "Our contribution back to the Sportsman racers is just our way of thanks to all that support our efforts. In the past year we saw the MORR group working hard to keep the Sportsman racers coming back to our facility as well as all the races on the TORC schedule. As a representative of the Bark River community we appreciate the efforts." The second visit from the Traxxas TORC Series presented by AMSOIL to Bark River International Off-Road Raceway will be August 13-15. The PRO "Superstars" of Off-Road racing will be in attendance as well as the Sportsman "Stars of Tomorrow" will be in full force. The Boss Snow Plow Island Resort & Casino UP Off-Road 100 begins with Friday afternoon practice sessions with racing all day Saturday and Sunday, along with live music on the "Hill" each night.
