AMC Sadd leba ck-- ---- ..:. :.;; .:;: ~~:O By Buzz Baty IRVINE , CAL., July 8, 1972 - If Jeff Szueber isn't leading in the AMC Yamaba Series, he should be, accordi ng to my reckoni ng. Every time I look around, he's winning the 500 Junior division . Jeff did it again today, taking his Husky to first overall, ahead of the CZ of Bob Dykma ns and Dave Orozco 's Suzuki. The only comple te manufa cturers' sweep came in the 125 Novice class, where John Dickens on bested ..Cesar Rodil and Ed Boggs, all on Pentons . Hey, here's a fun thing for July 22, particul arly if you're a fan of ABC's Wide World of Sports. The WW crew. will be out at SaddJeb ack that day, ""-- .... ;,-- - along with Bill Russell, the super star of the Celtics basketb all club and Gary Bailey. The gig goes someth ing like this, Gary Bailey is going to teach Bill Russell how to ride a Yamaha 250 MX. Then Bill is going to ride in one of the Beginne r 250 classes, while the camera crews record it for posterit y. Can't you just see that?, big Bill Russell, seven feet, one and a half inches tall, two hundred and seventy -five pounds on a 250 Yamab·..... Hell, you won't even be able to see the bike, let alone film it. At any rate, if you want to be part of the scene, the AMC event at Saddleb ack on the 22nd of July will be the place to be. CMC CARL SBAD - - - - - - - - - - - - - By Buzz Baty CARLS BAD, CAL., July 9, 1972 Things were a little lackada isical today. Perhaps everyon e was still physica lly exhaust ed and men tally drained from last night's Coliseu m extrava ganza. No, I really can't say that about the riders that showed today, 'cause it sure wasn't true about Rich Thorwa ldson, Mark Anders on, or Hugh William s in the 500 Expert class. Mark got it on with Rich again, after last Tuesda y's duel when Mark fell. Today, he brough this CZ in for second overall behind Rich and his Boyd- & Stelling s Suzuki, Hugh Williams getting third on his Husky. Last night's Open Suppor t class winner, Bryar Holcom b brough t out a truck load of Suzukis , engines , and frames, and spent the whole day testing. It looks like Suzuki may have big plans for Holcom b. _ (Jay Ion Mosier added a few more points in his quest for the CMC Numbe r I plate and that Chevy van that goes with it, but it wasn't easy. Jon Derham mer, who seems to be getting faster and better every time ou t, took his CZ to a long lead first moto win over Gaylon 's Maico. Howeve r, as with last week's win, Gaylon came back to win the second moto to Jon's second place finish, tieing Jon on points, but getting first overall in the "best finish-la st moto" rule. Terry Clarke filled out the top three on his Harley- Davidso n. Terry also won the 125 Expert division on the H-D, over the Pen tons of Chuck Bower and Rick Ruckma n. This is the third straigh t race that Rick has been in the money. This new Expert really digs that long green manufa ctured by Uncle Sam.

With the tempera ture righ t around 100 the only thing that made it liveable was the wind. Howeve r, Morgan Molocc o (Yam) and Randy Fredrick son (CZ) didn't seem to mind the heat a bit as they tore up the track and any compet ition to domina te the 250 Novice -16 class. For the over sixteen 250 Novice riders, the guys to beat were Jim Rich on a Suzuki and Steve Aageson on a Husky. Mike Hogan won motos one and three but didn't cop any points for the - second and that dropped him to third overall. 125 Novice riders Bruce Jones (Puc), George Faber (Yam), and Paul Dube (Suz) had it out all day. In the end, it was J ones getting the overall on the strength of two firsts and a second. Kern Park (Hod) got the overall win in the 100 Novice section as speedy Bruce Bornhu rst and his Harley blew the first moto with a fourth place finish, droppin g him to a second overall For the Beginne rs under 16 there was a third Harvey moto showdo wn between Hollow ay (Hod) and Mike Brophy (Suz). Both were tied with a first and second place finish each. Both riders were con tinually looking back to see what was going on behind them. Eventua lly Hollow ay got a sizeable lead and won going away. >- "5 .., ~ "' WA TCH FOR A.C .I. Montesa
