Changing Track Screech, goes a 71 cream colored El Camino as it lays rubber across the parking lot. If you hear this, it is likely to be Bob Nauta. Bob has slowly become Poudre's representitve for high school drag racing at Bandemier. He has been racing for two years and wants to continue it as his career. To be involoved in this exciting sport your car must pass a technical inspection, which makes sure everything works correctly, pay a S15 per day fee and have a valid driver's liscense. Bob is currently working on his Duster, which he hopes to race in the spring. When asked what he personally got out of racing, he re- plied, lt is the thrill for speed! Drag racing is a sport in itself says Bob, because everything is done individually and the self accomplishment is outstanding. We wish you Good Luck Bob! Did you know that Larimer County has more horses than any other county in Colorado? What do people do with all of them? Looking around Poudre I found the answer, her name is Laurel Hanck. Laurel is an up-and- coming rider of the Fort Collins area. She is currently involved in a counterpart of the local 4-H group, Pony Club. This club taught her how to present her horse for inspec- tion at shows, how to clean tack, how to groom her horse properly and safely plus combined training. Laurel's favorite part of the combined training is the Cross Country course. Laurel has found a sense of freedom while riding Jesse, her horse. When asked how she felt the reply was, I get so exhilerat- ed that I could just start laughing. I can tell jesse loves it too! Laurel's future goal is to qualify for the Pony Club eventing team. If she does qualify for this, she will be on her way to the national competi- tion in Kentucky. Good Luck Laurel! Thrills, Spills and Chills have been a part of josh Lewis' life for the past 5 years. He races motorcross in Amateur competion on a 125 Honda. The three classes which are involved in racing are Novice, Amateur and Expert. This incredible rage for speed runs in Iosh's family. His father is the oldest Expert rider in the state. josh says, I love the speed and competition this sport offers. Even though the thrill is there josh has to endure training. This includes trail riding and training laps. This is not all that is included in the race. The riders must walk the 15-30 ft. wide track to pick out the best passing lines, and check the jumps to decide if they will hit them fast or slow. The average cost per year is 55,000 per racer. josh replied, You always do your best to get out of the starting gate first, but if you don't you just try your hardest, especially on the last lap. Josh has been injured many times, includ- ing five weeks in a row, but he keeps climbing back on his Honda. Good Luck this spring. 17

Growing Pains Braces Have you ever been referred to as tinsel teeth or tin grin ? If so, you are probably wearing braces. Braces are usually put on for cosemtic pur- poses and can cost anywhere from 51900-S3000 and up. The main reason that braces are worn is due to an over- bite, in which the upper teeth are pushed forward and the bottom teeth are stationery. To correct this problem an orthodontist will recommend headgear and braces. The headgear is used to hold the top row of teeth, so that the bottom row can move back. Rubberbands are worn to help with this process. Most people have to wear their braces for two, to two and a half years, and then wear a retainer for two years to six months after they have been removed. According to Danny Duffy the worst part is having to chew sugarless gum and having ab- solutely no hard or chewy candy. If you happen to be one of these braced people, just wait, your smile will be teriffic in the future! Melonie Sawyer-Everybody's gotta have a best friend! Kathy Dinkel Smile. Danny Duffy, use that smile power.
