At the finish, it was Lamppu, Staten (Who just couldn't seem to keep any ground on the crypto-Finn.) and Gary Semics (Hus) came out of the top of the pack for a third: This was his sixth FrransAMA and the best finish for the Ohio youngster. The 250's ran only two motos and in the second one it was DeWayne Jones (V am \ off the line followed by Lamppu and Staten (CZ). Jones got into trouble and the Kawasaki and CZ moved on.by_ Lamppu built up his big lead; Staten built up his big lead, and that's the way it stayed for most of the moto. The real action was the fight for third being waged between Sonny DeFeo, (GZ) and Semics. They were going bananas, and very fast, too. Rich Eierstedt (Mai) 'oined the fray with a repaired throttle cable from Moto One and all three were charging around in a little bunch.

Staten broke, so then the chase was on for second. The momentum they had built up in their moto long duel refused to slacken. It was white flag time and Semics propelled his I-Lusky past Lamppu. DeFeo wasn't going to let Semics get away after 20 minutes, so he went past Lamppu, too. If the moto had Eierstedt woufd also go by just so he could race with the other two some more. He finished fourth. As in the International class, the leaders were tied for first on points but Semics had won most recently. He got the first; Lamppu, second; Dc Feo, third.
