Roy Dunn, Eureka's fastest man on wheels, is roaring along the road back after encountering nearly every bugaooo xnown lo man in the early part of the drag racing season.-Hoy piloted his Chrysler-fueled Dunn Dunn dragster to a career best of 209 miles-per-hour at the Port Orford, Oregon, strip Sunday. In sc doing he erased the strip record formerly held by his match race opponent Cordy Jensen of Eugene, Oregon.Jensen, who pilots what is generally regarded as Oregon's “toughest car” at present, lost out to Roy by three car lengths in their first run. Jensen’s 207 mph and :D7.72 ET also went by the boards as Roy registered a :Q7.65 ET.About two hours later Roy again defeated the Oregonian in 209 mph and with a :07.85 ET.“The car handled so beautifully and so straight T just couldn’t believe it,” reported the justifiably'jubilant Dunn. “I didn’t even have to handle the steering wheel until I pulled the chute. It was one of the best runs I've ever gotten out of the car.”Roy was well satisfied with the Pori Orforri strip which is “pretty straight and pretty lung. There is real good air since it’s close to the ocean like the Samoa strip. The bite's not super though. There are a lot of sharp rocks sticking up.”Next Saturday Roy will try his stuff under the lights of the Sacramento Speedway.As to what has to be done to the car before that competition, Roy said simply, “I’m just going to put in clean oil. It was just running super!’’Certainly a performance worthy of a determined, hard working and persevering racing ace.

University of Hawaii recruiting methods are coming under fire from some quarters in Sacramento. Says Sacramento Bee scribe MARCO SMO-LJCH: “The story is that quarterback LARRY ZENKER, whn is likely to transfer from Sacramento State to the University of Hawaii, was told QB JOE SARBQE (son of Hawaii coach PHIL SARBOE) will be used primarily on defense so that Larry can call the signals. Wanna bet? . . . Incidentally, a Hawaii assistant coach also tried to recruit two other Hornet gridders, who turned thumbs down. And when was the last time one four-year school recruited from another?” Smolich inquires. “All of which may interest the NCAA when Hawaii applies for membership in the near future . .
