On hand was the Indian "IROC" class, comprised of seven identically painted and prepared Indian Arrow motorcycles. This Indian race team is sponsored by Starklite Indian Motorcycles out of Perris, California; team manager Mike O Neil picks riders who he feels have the talent to put on a good show. Each bike is a replica of an Indian Arrow race bike built and raced by Bob Stark for some twenty-two years. Each of the race Arrows was built up from parts and enlarged to 250cc from their original 220cc.

The other race that drew our attention was the Hooligan Race, where you could run any motorcycle over a 1000cc's. The Hooligan class was comprised of normal street legal bikes with their headlight covered with a paper number plate. The rest of the evening went almost as fast as the bikes on the track with racing under the lights to the cheers of the full grandstand, Saturday excitement at its best.

Sunday dawned with the same high overcast clouds that ended Saturday but did little to dampen the enthusiasm of the show participants or swap meet vendors. The tinkling of cooling engines could be heard from those who rode their bikes into the show while nearby ramps were dropped onto to lowered truck tailgates for the unloading of those bikes that made the trip up or down the nearby 101 freeway not under their own power. When all the entries were placed on the lush lawn inside the fairgrounds, they amounted to over sixty bikes.

The swap meet vendors were arraigned on adjacent lawns and driveways. The offerings of the vendors were varied from shinny new parts to the biggest lump of rust. However, as someone once said, there is always something for everyone, be it treasure or trash, as evidenced by the people rolling or hefting out parts to their trucks and cars. As we blazed down the freeway for home, the thoughts of maybe entering the Hooligan Race next year on our old rigid shovelhead, danced near the front of our minds.
