Kenny Olsen (above, in front) is tough and skillful! He rode a Combat Wombat to 2nd place
in the Expert Class in the Observed Trials and then campaigned very well on a Road
Toad with lights and stock tires in the Scrambles. His cornering was smooth – he
always closed the door on the following rider – and the straights just weren’t long
enough or rough enough to allow the lighter more powerful Super Rats to get by before
the door got slammed shut again! (The name of the Super Rat rider is being withheld
to protect the innocent.)

tried and true old blue. It has never let him down (and that’s a quote!).

There were several “duels” going on in the Grand Prix! (above right) Iron barrel Wombat, #67, with rider Gene Cannady, who
raced Hodakas back in the 60's. He won many
races back in his days. His wife Rebecca reports that he "rode in the ISDT and even raced the BAJA 1000 and
won it 3 times in his class and 1 time overall! He hadn't raced in 20 years, is 63
years old and came in 2nd in this race!"
