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.

[jeff greenberg]

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.

[jeff greenberg]

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!!

[brian kirby]

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.

12 -- Richard Walsworth - RedBud - 250MX - Apr 28,1974

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

[brian kirby]

Is that your yellow 250?

Brian

[Mick Milakovic]

Yes sir.  Not painted the correct color, but that's the bike.

Mick

[brian kirby]

That is cool! I didn't know that bike had a special story behind it.
