AMC Saddleback------..:.:.;;.:;:~~:O""--....;,--- By Buzz Baty IRVINE, CAL., July 8, 1972 - If Jeff Szueber isn't leading in the AMC Yamaba Series, he should be, according to my reckoning. 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 Dykmans and Dave Orozco's Suzuki. The only complete manufacturers' sweep came in the 125 Novice class, where John Dickenson bested..Cesar Rodil and Ed Boggs, all on Pentons. Hey, here's a fun thing for July 22, particularly if you're a fan of ABC's Wide World of Sports. The WW crew. will be out at SaddJeback that day, along with Bill Russell, the super star of the Celtics basketball club and Gary Bailey. The gig goes something 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 Beginner 250 classes, while the camera crews record it for posterity. 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 Saddleback on the 22nd of July will be the place to be. CMC CARLSBAD-------------- _ By Buzz Baty CARLSBAD, CAL., July 9, 1972 - Things were a little lackadaisical today. Perhaps everyone was still physically exhausted and mentally drained from last night's Coliseum extravaganza. No, I really can't say that about the riders that showed today, 'cause it sure wasn't true about Rich Thorwaldson, Mark Anderson, or Hugh Williams in the 500 Expert class. Mark got it on with Rich again, after last Tuesday's duel when Mark fell. Today, he brough this CZ in for second overall behind Rich and his Boyd- & Stellings Suzuki, Hugh Williams getting third on his Husky. Last night's Open Support class winner, Bryar Holcomb brought out a truck load of Suzukis, engines, and frames, and spent the whole day testing. It looks like Suzuki may have big plans for Holcomb.

Jon Derhammer, 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. However, 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-last moto" rule. Terry Clarke filled out the top three on his Harley-Davidson. Terry also won the 125 Expert division on the H-D, over the Pen tons of Chuck Bower and Rick Ruckman. This is the third straigh t race that Rick has been in the money. This new Expert really digs that long green manufactured by Uncle Sam. : of -Fontana : : Sales 'arls Service : .. 90.08 Sierra Ave. .. Fontana, Calif. ..

Plugs Torco 2 Cycle Oil CRC MX------------------- By Christopher Ostlind DEADMANS POINT, CAL., July 9, 1972 - Considering the fact that a lot of Southern California race fans were tired from last night's big show at the Coliseum, there was still a good turnout for the CRC MX. With the temperature righ t around 100 the only thing that made it liveable was the wind. However, Morgan Molocco (Yam) and Randy Fredrickson (CZ) didn't seem to mind the heat a bit as they tore up the track and any competition to dominate 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 Bornhurst and his Harley blew the first moto with a fourth place finish, dropping him to a second overall For the Beginners under 16 there was a third moto showdown between Harvey Holloway (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. Eventually Holloway got a sizeable lead and won going away.
