SAM ARENA

SWEEPS DIXON

DIXON, CALIF., September 23rd.—

A record breaking crowd of four thou-

sand eager enthusiasts jammed the stands

of the Dixon fairgrounds today to see

San Jose’s famous son Sammy Arena

(H-D) roll to victory in every event he

entered. The four-star half-mile dirt-track

meet. Northern California’s first sanc-

tioned event since 1942, was sponsored

by the Navy City MC of Vallejo and pro-

moted by Jack Hocker. Because of the

dust, all main events were cut to ten laps

in the interests of safety. In spite of

Arena’s win, the second-place battle put

on by James Braithwaite (Triumph) and

Ed Kretz (Ind.) in the main event kept

the crowd in an uproar. The two boys

put on a nip and luck contest, riding

wheel to wheel on the turns with first

in the last few laps Braithwaite pushed

KRETZ COPS

at LAKESIDE

SAN DIEGO, CALIF., September

30th.—A new leaf was added to the lau-

rels of the old maestro Ed Kretz (Ind)

when he won the 30-lap main event on

Lakeside Park’s quarter-mile track here

today, and teamed with Floyd Emde

(Ind.) to carry off prize money in the 8-

lap two-man relay. Second contender for

the day’s honors was Wilbur “Lammy”

ON THE

WESTERN

FRONT

Lamoureaux (JAP), winner of the 4 lap

trophy dash.

Emde, teamed with Kretz in the 8-lap

relay, drew the pole in that event, and the

two battled it out with teams composed

of John Huber and Jack Bailey (Ind.),

Tex Luse and Chuck Basney (Velocette),

Oscar Sherman and Louis Camou (Ind),

and Dick Milligan and Tom Bamford

(Ind.). This race, hot and hard-fought

from the outset, brought the crowd to

its feet and kept it there. Sherman and

Camou took the lead in the first lap only

to lose it after a struggle to Emde and

Kretz. Milligan and Bamford spilled the

motor while making relay contact in the

third lap, but they got back into the run-

ning again and fought hard to make up

lost lime. In the fourth lap, Camou took

a header as he relayed from Sherman,

and the pair went out of the race, with

Huber and Bailey following suit in the

fifth lap. Emde and Kretz edged ahead

to win in the final lap, with Luse and

Basney almost on top of them in second

place and Milligan and Bamford third.

The trophy dash electrified the crowd

as the four fast men in the time trials

lined up for the 4-lap trophy dash. Lam-

my drew the pole, with Emde, Camou

and Kretz lined up beside him. Emde

grabbed the lead in the first lap, with

Lammy and Camou crowding him close.

Kretz, who got off to a bad start, trailed

the other three throughout the race.

Lammy eased ahead to take the lead i"

the second lap, and fed the other contest-

ants his dust until he came in to get the

checkered flag, with Emde second and

Camou third.

The main event brought out fourteen

top-notch riders — Lamoureaux, Kretz.

Emde, Camou, Oscar Sherman (Ind.).

Chuck Basney (Velocette), Tom Bani-

ford (Ariel), Dick Milligan (Ind.), Jack

Bailey (Ind.), Dale McBride (Ind.), L. C.

Stull (Ind.), Ronny Kidwiler (Ind.), Jack

Horn (Ind.), and Harry Pelton, Jr.

(JAP), with Lammy on the pole. Lam-

my, with the advantage of position, took

the lead at the start, to lose it to Emde

and later regain it. His fast takeoff did

him no good, however, for Kretz fought

his way to the fore and, once he had the

lead, never relinquished it. Basney drop-

ped out with motor trouble in the third

lap, McBride in the eleventh, Bailey in

the twenty-eighth, and in the next-to-the-

last swing around the circle Lammy went

out after falling on the north turn, and

Pelton followed suit on the south turn.

Kretz got the flag, with Camou second,

Emde third and Kidwiler fourth.

ARENA AGAIN

at TULARE

TULARE, CALIF., October 21—Sam-

my Arena (H-D) spun to new fame as

the winner of the main event in the hot

half-mile races held here today, and out-

paced all other contestants by turning in

the day’s fastest time (3.05 1/5) in the

preliminary six-lap heat.

In the two-man. two-lap trophy dash,

Ed Kretz (Ind.) gave the man-of-the-day

a tough fight until he developed motor

trouble a quarter-lap from the finish-

line, leaving Arena an uncontested win.

The first six-lap semi-final promised

to give the crowd of 2000 its money’s

worth of thrills, as it started out a wheel-

to-wheel contest, but James Braithwaite

(JAP) and Wilbur “Lammy” Laniour-

caux (JAP) had to drop out from motor

trouble in the second and third laps re-

spectively, leaving Kretz with everything

his own way for an easy win and Del

Branson (Ind.) in second place.

The second six-lap semi-final was a

grim struggle and looked like anybody’s

race as Dick Milligan (Ind.), Chuck Bas-

ney (Rudgc) and Floyd Emde (Ind.),

jockeyed lap after lap for first position,

but in the hard-fought last lap Emde

cased into first place with Basney hard

on his rear wheels for second.

STILLO STARS

at SAN RAFAEL

SAN RAFAEL. CALIF.. October 7th.

—Mario Stillo (Ind.) was the star of the

T.T. meet held here today on San Ra-

fael’s flat 1/3 mile track, winning both the

25-lap main event and also the first 10-

lap heat, and fighting it out fender to

fender with Sammy Arena (H-D) in the

10-lap trophy dash to come in second.

The meet was sponsored by the San

Francisco MC and the Tamalpais MC of

San Rafael, and drew a crowd of 3500

enthusiastic race-hungry fans.

The trophy dash saw the six fastest

men in the time trials battling to win,

RACE

EPBURN

E

THE August issue of THE MOTOR-

CYCLIST delved back into past his-

tory to tell the story of the revival, after

thee years of non-competition during

World War I. of the Dodge City 300-

mile dirt track championship race on July

5, 1920. In that race Jim Davis of Co-

lumbus, Ohio won on a Harley-Davidson

pocket-valve to hang up a new track and

world record of 81.52 miles per hour over

the triple century course.

In the 1920 race the smallest field of

the event was entered fifteen in all, eight

Indians and seven Harley-Davidsons. Ex-

celsior, which had contested in all prior

races, nominated no entrants.

In the 1921 .race, which will be recre-

ated, Excelsior entered five machines, pi-

loted by Leslie Parkhurst, Warren Cropp,

Joe Wolters, Wells Bennett, and Waldo

Korn. Indian had seven entrants, Albert

“Shrimp" Burns, Floyd Dreyer, John

Seymour, Hammond Springs, M. L. Fred-

erick, Paul “Speck” Warner, and Don

Pope. Harley-Davidson’s representatives

were Ralph Hepburn, Fred Ludlow, Otto

Walker, Ray Weishaar, Jim Davis, and

Walter Higley, making a total field of

eighteen starters. So with that setting

the stage we riffle back to the 1921 bound

volume of MOTORCYCLIST and copy

the story as written more than twenty-

four years ago by Long John O’Connor.

California racing stars celebrated the

birth of the nation here today by sweep-

ing most of the gold and glory in the

battle of the year in motorcycledom, the

fifth running of the 300-mile National

Championship on the Dodge City 2-mile

dirt course. Ralph Hepburn, Los An-

geles, broke all records for Dodge City

rapid transit as well as two long-standing

world's marks in a magnificent flight on

his Harley-Davidson 8-valve.

Having won in past years with pocket-

type motors, Harley-Davidson this year

turned the trick in whirlwind fashion with

the only overhead motor they started,

Hepburn unwinding the triple century in

three hours, thirty minutes, three sec-

onds. His average was 85.69 miles an

hour, by far the swiftest pace ever set in

this blue ribbon contest. Jim Davis, last

year's winner on a Harley-Davidson, av-

eraged 81.52 mph. This year, Davis wasn't

even running when the last man was

flagged. Such are the fortunes of those

who chase the Goddess of Fame on the

racetrack. Hepburn’s time for the full

distance was ten minutes, one and four-

fifths seconds faster than Davis rode to

victory last year. The Angel City idol

also surprised the fans and dopcsters by

nipping seventeen seconds off the 300-

mile speedway record, which Carl Goudy

established with an Excelsior at Chicago

in 1915. This probably is the first in-

stance where board records have been

toppled on the dirt track, but, of course,

motors are immensely faster now than

when Goudy was in his prime, and the

machines of today have not had a fling

at the 300-distance on the pine saucers.

Last year, Maldwyn Jones, on a Har-

ley-Davidson, copped the 200-milc laurels

riding the double century in 2:26.48. To-

day, Hepburn rambled this distance in

2:17.54. Jones also lost his 100-mile mark

The MOTORCYCLIST

of last year, which stood at 1:11.12 1/5,

the Coast meteor spinning the first cen-

tury in 1:07.52 2/5. This also came mighty

close to whipping out another Chicago

board record held by Otto Walker who

rolled the “100" in 1:07.43 in 1915.

When Hepburn finished collecting the

day’s spoils, there wasn’t much of the

$2300 purse left. He took $1000 for win-

ninfg, $100 for leading at the hundred,

another $100 for leading at the 200, and

$100 of Schcblcr money for winning with

that carburetor equipment. Plus all this

$1300 dollars in cash, there was the honor

trophy, the M. and A.T.A. gold medal,

the most valuable of all the championship

decorations.

As last year, Indian again put over the

runner-up, but with John Seymour in the

saddle instead of Gene Walker. Seymour,

who broke into the speed game from Es-

canaba, Michigan, and lately emigrated

to Denver, chauffered the first Wigwam

product over the line after Hepburn was

through. Seymour finished nine minutes,

forty-four seconds behind the winner, his

time being 3:39.47. Both his time and l’1S

average were exceptionally good, beating

that of all previous winners. His riding

today was the most notable of his career,

and entitles him to high rank as a long-

distance star. Seymour cashed his place

for $575, which represented second money

of $500, and $75 for using a Schebler car-

buretor. He also received a silver cham-

pionship medal from the M. and A.4 A.

Both Harley-Davidson and Los An-

November, 1945

gclcs registered for more glory when

Fred Ludlow received the checkered flag

close after Seymour. The popular little

Californian, who rode his greatest race

today, and deserved all the honors which

came to him, made remarkably fast time,

3:42.51 3/5. Ludlow’s share of the purse

was $250.

In years gone by, Paul “Speck” War-

ner, the old Indian warhorse of Ells-

worth, Kansas, used to have a sort of un-

official mortgage on fourth place. He

landed so often in this spot when the big

show was over that it came to be taken

for granted what Speck would do in pre-

doping the results. But today the dope

didn’t jell, and that other Kansas veteran,

Ray Weishaar, emerged from the fray

in fourth place, riding Harley-Davidson.

Last year he was third. For consistency,

Weishaar can be depended to be in at the

killing for the long grind. His share of

prize money was $125.

The fourth member of the Milwaukee

team came over the line when Otto Walk-

er, another Californian, finished in fifth

place after a run of hard luck and some

mighty brilliant riding. Otto, second

winner of the classic away back in 1915,

and one of the few of the old guard still

in the saddle, lost a lap at the very touch-

off through a fouled plug. But he had

super-speed and gradually made up his

lost ground and forged into second posi-

tion in the 42nd lap 84 miles. He held

doggedly to this preciously valuable van-

tage-point so long that the experts began

to figure on him making his customary

whirlwind run at the end and copping

the big money. Otto stayed next to the

leader until after 200 miles had been

turned. Then carburetor trouble sent him

to the pit, and when he returned to the

battle he was fifteen laps behind Hepburn

and running fourth. Otto fought. perse-

veringly and climbed back to third posi-

tion, which he held for ten laps. Then

he slipped back to fourth and then to

fifth, where the finish left him, a tempera-

mental gas mixture being responsible for

his slippage from the front line. There

wasn't much purse left to distribute when

Otto’s day’s work was over, but he got

$75 for finishing in fifth position.

Indian got another man home when

Don Pope finished sixth and took the last

of the prize money, $50.

Next came Walter Higley, last in the

field to run the full distance, and making

five out of Harley’s six entries to com-

plete the course. When Higley completed

the route, there were four others still run-

ning and who were flagged. In order,

they were Floyd Dreyer (Indian), flagged

at 145 laps; Leslie Parkhurst (Excelsior),

flagged at 145 laps, Paul Warner (In-

dian), flagged at 142 laps, and Wells Ben-

net (Excelsior) flagged at 137 laps. When

the race was called, seven had finished

and four still were in action, a total of

11 out of the 18 still in the running. Last

year, only three finished the entire race,

and two others were running when

flagged down, this from a field of fifteen.

Hepburn was the star throughout the

gruelling grind, holding the lead for 147

of the 15 Olaps. He came in for a tire

change and refill in the 51st lap, and Otto

Walker, then running second, did the

pacemaking for the 52nd, 53rd and 54th

laps. Then Hepburn, who returned to the

fight after a mighty short stop, and the

usual speedy Harley-Davidson pit serv-

ice, went to the front again and never

relinquished the head of the string. After

he came back, he started to unwind wick-

edly, and gradually gained a lap and went

after more. When he came in again on

the 102nd lap (204 miles), he had such

a lead that no one was able to wrest it

from him while he was off the track. On

his return he made up for lost ground

and widened the gap to the extent of

nearly six laps when the banner of victory

was flashed at him.

The fate of the other entrants not al-

ready mentioned is the usual story of

the tough breaks that are part of the

racing game. Joe Wolter was another

who went out before the race was half

over, being eliminated in 74 laps with

mechanical trouble. Warren Cropp hit a

good pace and was up among the leaders

when he spilled in the 51st lap and put

his machine out of commission. Waldo

Korn rode well at the beginning, but ig-

nition difficulties spelled his doom in the

40th lap. “Curley” Frederick was another

who showed speed while he lasted, but

he also was forced to quit in the 40th

lap. Jim Davis, last year’s winner, went

just half the distance, dropping out at

the end of the 75th lap.

And thus was finis written to the

Dodge City 300-mile National, although

it was not so realized at the time. The

decision of some of the factories to with-

draw from racing and the transfer of the

property on which the track had been

constructed, led to the final abandonment

of this truly great motorcycling event of

the olden, golden days of motorcycle

competition.

throughout the heat, finally edging ahead

to win. In the main 25-lap event. Arena

plunged ahead to lead at the outset, hold-

ing his margin for eight laps with Stillo

on his rear wheel, while Cancilia (Tri-

umph), Basney (Velocette) and Pearson

(Triumph) battled for third place a quar-

ter-lap behind. The twenty-fifth lap

brought the crowd to its feet when Stillo

went down 250 feet from the finish-line

with Arena spilling behind him, Pear-

son sliding to the ground behind Arena

and Cancilia also down. Stillo righted

his machine in time to whirl first across

the finish-line with Phil Cancilla on his

tail and Chuck Basney in third place,

while Arena got up and going in time to

take fourth place, and Pearson fifth.
