Just wondering if anyone rode the event, and had any comments. How many Pentons showed up, what the course was like, etc. I know this is secondary to the meaning of the event, but still curious. Hopefully I can attend next year.....

Hi Mick, I rode this event in honor of Dane, it turned out to be a good & challenging event. It had rained most the night here in Amherst, stopped by morning & rained just a little before the start of the race but stopped for the full 2 hours we were on the course. The soil conditions were acually perfect with the exception of a few mud hole crossings and greasy straightaways. I am just guessing maybe 80 big bikes were on the line and many were regular CRA hare scramble competetors, i did not see any Pentons on the course though! The Meadowlarks did a fine job of laying out the course and running this event,I know it will get better each year. The POG members had a great display with Penton motorcycles and lots of memories of Dane.It was a day to remember and hope to see more of you all there next year!
