Awesome job guys, take note of the June or July 73 issue as it has all carb jetting for the Pentons.:D
Really a great archive project you have done on this, a virtual time capsule. Very first issue cleared up an aftermarket item; a crash bar I have, verified in "new products". As a mention of Gordon Razee on his 125. His dealership is where I bought my one and only JP175 in 76-77, resto at 70% right now.

Greetings,
The November 1975 issue of Keeping Track has a rather interesting cover for several reasons.
First off, the cover was hand drawn by Barb Weisman, wife of Matt Weisman who was the person behind much of the advertising done by Penton Imports as well as the Keeping Track newsletters. Barb's trademark B. Weisman can be found on the cover if you take a close look. Barb also hand drew several other Keeping Track newsletter covers so keep an eye out for her trademark B. Weisman as you look over the newsletters. I wonder if Barb still has the original drawings in her archives....will surely need to follow up with her on that question.
The other item of interest is the fact that six riders are in the drawing but only five were identified below it...wonder who's name is missing?

Just can't thank Bill and Karen enough for all the time and effort they put forth in getting those newsletters scanned and posted for all to see.
Now that they are rested up from this project....they just might be ready for the next one...stay tuned.
