CARLSBAD, CA, MAY II
Lars Bergquist overcame a large con tingent
of riders to claim the overall victory in the
compe titive Old Timers Expert class at the
Racin g Ente rprise MX at Carlsbad Raceway .
Promoter Fra nk Thomason designed a course
tha t had all the riders talking, especially about
the new downhill with thr ee jumps.
At the start of moro one , Tim Daily put
his Honda into the early lead ahead of Amp
Racing's Horst Leitner and Lars Larsson.
Bergquist was buried at the back of the pack
but was quickly on the move to tile front.
Bergquist seemed to pass riders with ease until
he tried to get around Lee Amaradio, who
was runn ing fourth. Amaradio put up a
tremendo us fight until Bergquist slipped by
at the ha llway point. The battle exhausted
Amaradi o, as he faded to a n even tual seventhplace finish.
Bergq ui st zapped Larsson and Leitner for
second and wasted littl e time disposing of
Dai ly, Phel ps and Steve Bussell.
Moto two was a barn burner as Dail y got
anot her holeshot with Bergquist and Larsson
no more than inches apa rt. The battle ra~
on, as Bergq uist sli pped pas t Dail y for first
an d Bussell moved into fourth. Larsson began
droppi ng off the pace and Bussell zap ped him
for th ird. Dail y hung wit h Bergquist for the
full 30 minu tes but could never cha llenge, as
Bergq ui st took the win a nd the overa ll with
Daily second a nd Bussell a distant th ird.
