Why do the posted AHRMA results for the ISDTRR vary from the ones announced at the event? I see that the web posted results moved me up from 5th place silver to 2nd place gold. Does this mean I get two medals now?

Penton Racing Talk / Belly Acre Enduro
February 27, 2014, 08:53:17 PM
Amazing memories of what was probably the worst off road motorcycle event I ever participated in. Both of my Bartlesville dirt bike mentors, Bobby Derrick and Tuck Archer, tried to warn us about the event. Unfortunately, we were young and too inexperienced to know better. I can still remember the signs on the two "Hills" mentioned by Earl Schnell. They looked as though they had been painted by Jethro Bodine.Just for the record, I made it up both. It took hours of pushing and spectator help!
In between the start and the first check they also had random hole punch checks to keep people from cutting the "course". Hole punchers were dangling from poorly marked tree limbs on beaded chains. You were supposed to punch your own card and motor on. At one of these checks there was nothing left but an empty chain. At that point I knew all was lost.
If Vern Street won it once, I am very, very impressed!

Penton Racing Talk / Belly Acre Enduro

slvrbrdfxr, Thanks for forwarding the message to the Tulsa enduro crowd. I grew up in Bartlesville Oklahoma and rode many times at the storied Zink Ranch including enduros, hare scrambles, and the grueling JZ150.I live in NC now, but I've ridden all of the ISDTRR's at Zink's. I plan on being at this years event as well.
With regard to the Belly Acre, I learned my lesson. It made for some incredible stories, but that's about it. It was more of a torture test than a true enduro. My biggest claim is that I survived.

Penton Racing Talk / Belly Acre Enduro

Anyone here ever enter or ride the infamous Belly Acre Enduro? They used to be held near Braggs Oklahoma on some very rugged land connected to Fort Gruber. I went twice and rode it once. The first time it was snowed out due to a Oklahoma style blizzard. My riding friends and I spent the night on the floor of the Café in Braggs. The second time I rode the snow make-up event. I think I pushed my bike most of the 17.5 miles I managed to complete. I have never seen mud so deep and hills so gnarly. I think they held a national enduro there once in the mid-70's. David

Penton Talk / Bartlesville Oklahoma Dealer?
August 16, 2009, 08:39:55 PM
When I was growing up in Bartlesville there used to be a Penton "dealer" that operated out of a mobile home down by the Caney River. I think his name was Hargraves or something like that. Anyone know anything about this? David
