Sorry guys, I missed the opportunity to get some pictures of the two Pentons racing in the AHRMA Regional at Log Road in Coldwater Michigan yesterday. They do a great job on the track but the turn-out of about 20 riders was light. Next race there is the national, hope to see the Penton's well represented so that I can snap some pics.:D
Hi Dale,
That was me taking top honors
in Sportsman 500 exp
On my Red Berkshire tanked
75 400.

That was me finishing second in my debut Sportsman 250 Intermediate race. My wife took lots of pictures if I can figure how to post them. Yes, turnout was very light but it was a great day to MX race. The track was quite muddy and rutted up pretty good. I had to run a grar lower in lots of spots to keep from bogging. Man I would like to do a reed valve conversion on my 250 Hare Scrambler!
I stayed for the open practice after the races were over at 11:00 AM and got to ride more for no extra cost. We were riding the Big track with the full jumps and modern bikes. I rode with the beginner class and felt fairly safe as most weren't jumping either. Next time I might bring my more modern bike for later. Dan Pagel

The track was definately more challenging than the 1st round there. I don't know if you found any of them but I ran through several "mystery spots" that looked hard and smooth but sank 4 to 6 inches upon entry. I was riding that funny silver tanked thing with a Sachs 125cc engine in my second race after 35 years in Classic 125cc Novice. Much faster than the first race:D Hope to see more POGGERS at the AHRMA National July 11th!
