I will be there to uphold my position as the slowest rider to ever compete in an AHRMA event on a Penton.

Bill, remember you will always be faster than the guys who sit at home and watch racing on TV. Doing instead of watching is more important than how fast you go.

Bill,  Good to learn you are racing you Steel Tanker at Ocala.

Lew,  Sorry you can't make it.  Get better.  Now, about making 11 races -- that is a whole other topic:  Very difficult for most and may produce "class champions" via attenance rather than skill.

Yeah Lew, get better soon, and dont let the 11 race thing keep you away.

[Lew Mayer]

Boys, we'd be there if healthy. Thanks for your concern. Have fun.

My sources tell me the cross-country course was ugly.

It was pretty tough, more than a few quit after the sighting lap. There were several places that turned you 90 degrees right at the bottom of a hill, and there were almost trials like sections. They did do a good job of rerouting around muddy spots that got worse and worse until the became pretty much impassable. I cant complain too much as I won my class, but the only other guy in Sportsman 200 Expert quit after the sighting lap.

I tracked down Glenn Berry and apologized to him for telling him it was fast, open, and easy at Ocala.
