Title: Still going strong
Post by: Michael Thompson on April 20, 2014, 09:37:33 AM

Hey everyone!! Happy Easter Here in southern ohio the GP or Grand Prix circuit has become very popular. Very fun racing they normally have a vintage and decades class. Vintage is your twin shock up through bikes in the 80's and the decades is 10 years and older from current production year. Theres normally a big turnout in the decades class because not too many guys can afford new bikes. Yesterday i entered the decades class on my 1982 ktm 495, Engine built by Gary Ellis, out of 14 bikes i pulled off a 3rd place. The 495 ran phenominal! Had alot of people wondering what it was and it made me happy i could spread some knowledge about penton/ktm history.

Michael, what tracks or series are you talking about? We race the Reads Racing GPs here in Indiana; they're 1 hour-long, $25 to enter and don't need an AMA card or district 15 card, either.
