Semlca, Schlegel doubleat CarlabadMX By Myron Hemley CARLSBAD, CA, AUG. 24 Gary Semics rode his Suzuki to a 1-1 finish in the 250cc Pro class at the Continental Moto-sports Club's Carlsbad MX. David Gerig got his usual holeshot with Tim Lunde second, Pete Murray third and Seroics fourth. Semics quickly took over second and pulled even with Gerig on the third lap as they thrashed up the uphill. Semics went in front at the top, but Gerig repassed him in the berm at the bottom. Gerig was able to hold off Semics till the sixth lap when the bolt on his seat broke. Jim Odie had the most impressive ride of the day after his seventh place start, moving to third by the seventh lap. Semics finished 10 seconds ahead of Gerig. Odie took a strong third after closing Gerig's 12-second lead down to two. Lunde was fourth, Norman Nilsson fifth and Murray sixth. Gerig got his second holeshot of the day over Pat Hubbs second and Semics, who moved into second on the fint lap. Gerig held a small lead over Semics till the fifth lap when Semics took over the lead on the uphill. Semics increased his lead on each lap when Gerig fell off the pace, tiring after three and a half motos, two of which were in the 500cc Pros, where he won. Semics went on to finish with a comfortable lead over Gerig, while Lunde made his way up from sixth to overtake Hubbs for third and third overall. Odie passed Nilsson on the last lap to take fifth. Fritz Schlegel added another I-I win as he took his third overall win in his last three outings in the U5cc Pros. Schlegel's closest competitor was Rick Maki, who got the holeshot in the fint moto. Schlegel followed Maki until the third lap where he passed him for the lead. Dave Hamada held third over Ross Maeda till the fifth lap when Maeda went past. Maeda caught Maki and took over second for a lap till Maki repassed Maeda and opened a large lead. Schlegel finished with a 22second lead over Maki and 50 over Maeda in third. Ray Tetherton started practicing his start about an hour before the last moto. The leaden lined up at the gate ready to go. Stu Peters pulled the lever and they were off with Tetherton out in front, Maki second and Schlegel third. Tetherton's practice paid off to get the holeshot, but that was all, as Maki and Schlegel both passed Tetherton on the fint lap. Maeda chased Tetherton around for the fint two laps till Maeda took over on the uphil. Tetberton held onto fourth till the 10th lap when Hamada passed on the back side. Schlegel won tbe second moto by 40 seconds over Maki with Maeda third. The overall order was the same. ~ --- Centr.1 Coast Motorcycle Association OCT. 25 PRESENTS THE Results BO JR: 1. - - .
