A9 Moto -crops involves rider and parents You're roasting in the sun; moto-crogs bikes ap- proach you sounding like a swarm of mosquitos and race by leafing you in a cloud of dust. But, though that's her descri,tion of life as a Moto- cross Mom, Linda Sipes, of Kitchener praises the sport as one in which the whole family can get involved. Moto -cross racing as a family sport was one of the theme's of the parents' semi- nar at Hully Gully near Varna on the weekend. "Parents and childrt1 can work together at keeping the bike in good running order," says Wayne Dickens, of Hully Gully. "You can teach a child that he must care for some- thing that he owns." Parents were also told to keep their children in good physical condition if they are racing. "After a kid runs a 10 or lS minute mote, he's sweating like a trooper. A lot of people don't realize the exertion that goes into it," he says. Advice to help parents deal with the maintenance of the bike was given to the approx- imately 10 parents at the seminar. "You have to be prepared to do it if you expect your bike to run week from week," he says. Cleaning the dust and dirt from all parts of the bike such as the brake shoes and the bearings will help prolong the life of bike parts. Motor mounts should be checked after every race to make sure they are tight; if not, the motor could shift causing the chain to fall off or even the motor to fall out. Cables should be kept well lubricated so that the clutch is loose. Also, the kick stand should be removed so that it doesn't come down during a race and catapult the driver over the handle bars. "Everything on the bike is made of aluminum or magne- sium so it doesn't take a lot of punishment. You can save yourself a lot of money if you can do maintenance your- self," Mr. Dickens says. Motocross is an expensive sport, agrees Mrs. Sipes. With two sons involved and a third showing an interest in mote -cross, she and her hus- band are spending literally thousands of dollars on the sport. To buy a moto-cross bike, the protective gear including a helmet, gloves, boots and padding, and a membership -to race at Hully Gully, she figures it costs a minimum of S1300 for a beginner. And, that's not including the costs involved in travelling to the races; 1 tell my sons that if they canpay for the gas money to get to the races, we'll take them," she says. The Sipes spend weekends in the sum- mer camping at Bayfield although races are held across the country. While the parents were learning about maintenance tips, their children were at- tending "school" with two members of the national moto-cross racing team. They learned basic riding skills, warm-ups to do before each race, and maintenance tips as well. Ramblings from the race track BY LOIS GIBBINGS Countess Janet, owned by Ken Parke of Varna, took a new 2.05.2 record in winning her second in a row at Western Fair Raceway in London on Saturday night with John Lester up.

During the Junior Nation- als, last year, Yvonne Du Hamel, a former top Cana- dian rider, commented that Hully Gully's track was "the nicest I have seen...I was surprised." - This year, the track will be even better. When a comment like that is made by one of Canada's most famous veter- an motocross racers, it's difficult to see what else can be done, but with Hully Gully's extensive Motocross experience they are always striving to make - the sport better for riders and specta- tors alike. Approximately 30 horses qualified at Clinton before a good crowd of interested spectators on Sunday after- noon. Among the drivers partici- pating were two young women, Judi Andrews, al- ready a qualified driver, and Tammy Larsen of Goderich, who had another good quali- fying drive. Clinton Raceway will re- open for the 1983 season on Sunday, June 19 with post time at 1:30 p.m. Qualifying races will go at 12:30 p.m. It's a hoot! 133 picture perfect.playgrounds for you to discover.
