Thanks Rob - great research. Questions:
1. Are the guys riding 250s in 1972 on prototypes/pre-release 250s? I thought the Hare Scrambler was a 1973 bike (first year).
2. Eddie Cole - west coast or east coast guy? And was he a "factory" Penton rider? Mettco? Love to see what his bike looked like if anyone has a picture.
I believe that Eddie Cole was on a factory kawasaki

Jeff, I know Eddie Cole rode a Kaw. but supposedly these are all Penton riders. I got the info from here -> Racer X On-line -> http://vault.racerxonline.com/
Click on 'Results by brand', click 'Penton', click 'all years'.
Bob, I would guess those first 3 races from '72, riders were on Jackpiners in the 250 class.
Yeh, it's possible Eddie had Penton on his pre entry form. Then along came the Kawasaki deal. Just speculating. The Racer X Vault is really cool!!
Thanks for putting the list together for us to enjoy!!
I'm pretty sure those guys in '72 listed in the 250 class were on 175s, I dont think Jack even rode a 250 (Moiseev's GP bike) until early '73.

I'm pretty sure I own this bike. My brother bought it used less than one season from Buck Walsworth in Valparaiso. Buck told my brother it was Rick's ex-Pro race bike.
Mick
Is that your yellow 250?
Brian
Yes sir. Not painted the correct color, but that's the bike.
Mick
That is cool! I didn't know that bike had a special story behind it.
