Stampede’ s oldest sports rookie

Sta ied racing wagons at age 70

CALGARY (CP) — The
official theme, of the Calgary

Stampede tiiay be Youth in
Action, but ‘the rodeo's old-
timers aren't ready for the
glue factory yet.

Some of the best recog-
nized names on the chuck-
wagon circuit are the sep-
tuagenarians handling the
reins at this year's races.

Like the grand old man of
the waggons, 70-year-old
Tommy Dorechester, most
are veterans ‘of the Stam-
pede. Others:might be con-
sidered thé:'world’s oldest
sports rookies,

Dick Dye of Loon Lake,
Sask., raced. his first chuck-
wagon atetle Stampede
three yeard’ago at age 70.

“My daughters are dead
set against it,”: Dye laughed.
“They don't talk to me at this
time of yegrzAnd my wife is

ng the devil

Of course, ‘Bye had some

previous experience.

“Before ¥.came here to
drive a wagon three years
ago, my last Stampede was in

1926,” he.said. “I fancied
myself a bareback rider. But
I got stomped i in the chute, so
I gave it up.”

The colorful Dye said there
are few concessions to age on
the track.

“I never thought I was

good enough to run the Cal-
gary Stampede. And damned
if I didn't prove myself right
in that first year.

“It's damn dangerous. I
rolled the wagon right on top
of myself and spent 74 days
in hospital three years ago.”

Dorechester is a legend of
the rodeo circuit.

He first competed at the
Stampede in 1931 and is still
going, although he has eased
up a bit.

ASKS HIS AGE

“People have been asking
me about my age for years,”
he said.

“But you know, it wasn't
until I turned 70 on the last

day of May that I actually -

asked myself ‘What the heck
am I doing? I see other
people my age doing what
they do at 70 and I think I
should be doing that now,
too. But the thing is, I'm not
sure they're having as much
fun as I am.”

Youngster Orville Strand-
quist, 61, doesn't know what
to think of his compatriots.

“I can't believe those two
old guys,” mused the Stet-
tler, Alta., native.

“I can't see myself coming
here for my first Stampede at
70 years of age. Maybe I
could see myself running my
50th year at 70, but that's
something else again.

Roller coaster fan
sets new record

MONTREAL (CP) — Rich-
ard Rodriguez earned himself
a place in the record books
earlier this week by riding a
double-helix steel roller
coaster for'‘inére than 802
turns at Us ‘Ronde amuse-

The 23. yohr-old law stu-
dent at New York's Columbia
University'brdke the old rec-
ord set by“two young Ger-
mans near’ Hiedelberg last
year a ‘spdkesman for the
park said. |

After takifig’ a break for a
medical exdniination, he re-
mounted the’ spiral-shaped
Buper Loop*— which turns
360 degrees’; twice on an
800-metre tircuit — in an at-
tempt to ‘beat a personal
202-hour récord set on a
wooden coaster in Blackpool,
Bngland, last‘ year.

He hopes to'accomplish the
feat, which will be recorded
in the Guinness Book of
World Recdrds, i in about nine

days, taking only a five-
minute break every hour.

Rodriguez has twice had
his name in Guinness — in
1977 when he rode the Coney
Island roller coaster for 104
hours and in 1978 when he
rode one in South Carolina
for 110. Both were wooden
roller coasters.

The New Yorker claims to
have ridden 180 roller coas-

ters.

Before starting his latest
marathon Friday, Rodriguez
acknowledged that he was
terrified the first time he
climbed onto a New York
roller coaster at age nine.

“One of the things that got
me into roller coaster mara-
thons was the challenge to
my fear,” the John Travolta
look-alike said. “I’m not
seared now.”

He added that he has never
been sick while riding a roller
coaster at speeds of up to 60
kilometres an hour.
