Penton Owners Group

Hey Poggers,

This past Sunday Victor Monz was on his way to Glen Helen to do some vintage racing and ended up in the ER. Today he back home, but he really needs our prayers. Victor has a great passion for Penton motorcycles and is liked by all who race against him and know him.

Marc Biro

Thanks Marc, and I will keep Victor in my Prayers as well as you and your Family.

Marc,

Thank you for passing the info regarding Victor.  There is always room for another on my Prayer list.

Tony

Along with adding him to my prayer list, is there anything else I can do?

Got a wake up from Victor this morning. Looks like he is up and about and doing some light wrenching .:)[:0]:D

Victor,we know those Amherst kids are tough.  Get well soon and take care.   Thanks Marc for the update.

Thanks to you all. Prayer really works.  I feel pretty good today, resting at home.

As I was sitting in my hospital bed, I had my Six Day and Berkshire in the back of the truck in the parking lot...drove myself to ER. My friends in Hemet came and unloaded the bikes for me and your prayers are felt in my spirit.  Thanks.

PS. The first thing I did when I got home was get out the latest "Still Keeping Track" and AAAHHH I new everything would be ok, the next was the POGER site.  3 Days without Penton connection and I picked myself up, with God's help and your prayers and came home and hugged my dogs then my Pentons.

Hope to back on the track in a few weeks.....maybe the Powderpuff Class is for me now! I know I can beat them ! Maybe???

Victor

Sorry I forgot, No Ron C. my Pentons are NOT for sale ![:p]

Love ya.

Victor

PS  I have always heard of Glen Helen raceway, can you tell us easterners a little about the place?

Victor, sorry I missed you last weekend.  I had a horrible upper respiratory infection and therfore didn't go to Glen Helen.  Hope you are doing better.  Are you going to the 4/15/07 Glen Helen race?  If so, I'll see you there.  Get well soon.
Lloyd.

I missed you too Lloyd, see you next time, hope we're back in good health.

I will do my best to cover a story for the "Still Keeping Track" when we race the "Vintage Iron" World Championship which will be on the National Track.  Every time I've raced it on my 72 Six Day I look up that BIG HIlL and say to myself why I am I still doing this...but when its all over I can't wait to do it again !  My palms are sweating now thinking of it.

I'll set up the POGER Banner near a good spots and see if I can assemble a "pack of Pentons" for Al to publish.

Thanks agin for all your prayers....it really works.

Greatest Appreciation.

Victor

Victor, how are you feeling?  Good enough for Glen Helen this weekend?  Hope to see you there.  I'm bringing the old faithfuls, CZs for vintage and the MC5 for Evo1.  How about the Nationals on the 22nd at Competitive Edge?
Lloyd

I raced at Barona Oaks last weekend..new home for CALVMX. The track was fast and I rode the Ironman on my, sorry to say, 1980 RM 125..I rode like I did when I was a youngster...everything seemed on !

However...Sunday and Monday I was very sore, but smiling ear to ear.

I intend to be at Glen Helen Sunday with my 72 White Six Day and my 2006 Husky CR 125.  2 different worlds.

Thanks all for the prayer...it does work.  My health is good today and racing puts me in a good place mentally and spiritually !

Especially with all the friends I have been blessed with.

Thanks.

Victor

Victor, good to hear you're back in action and feeling good.

CalVMX is now at Barona Oaks? No longer running up near Palomar?

Are you guys running all of the main track, or running around the big obstacles? Do they let you use any of the mini track? Just curious...I grew up about 5 miles West of there and used to stand by the highway as a kid, just to watch the trucks go by with bikes in the back. My mom and much family still lives just west of Barona. May need to solg a boke down that way and ride an event when I'm down visiting that way sometime.

Keep up the therapy!

Jon,
Palomar was the famous Carlsbad tract.  Track closed about a 1-1 1/2 years ago and new construction on the site is now underway.  CalVMX was using Cahuilla Creek and Amago, but I understand both places stopped allowing vintage, not sure why.  I believe CalVMX is now using Barona Oaks.
Lloyd

Guys:

CALVMX was using Amago as its Home track the last couple years...off the SR 76 on the La Jolla Indian Reservation, near Palomar.  The second race of the year was cancelled and the revised Home Track is now Baraona Oaks just east of Ramona, CA.

We used the whole track, with the sharp jumps cut a bit...very long track and fast.  The start is a 6 gear WFO to a hairpin then a double jump.  The line starting line had 20 to 30 bikes and it was like the good old days....get there first!  My Penton always gets great starts (adjusted correctly, line Dane says, guaranteed to NOT miss a shift, I never remember missing shifts back in Lorain in the 70's, probably cause one of the R & D guys tuned my motors) and I go into the hairpin with both legs out to the side...just to "help" the other guys a little !!!

Lots of fun!


Victor
