What was the name of the rider that raced a penton 250 at Daytona in 74 and how did he do? I am coming up on working 3 12hr shifts so I will check the answers as I can, but I am sure this will be answered fast!

Thomas;
Buck Murphy raced a 250 Penton at Daytona in 1974, but I can't remember where he placed. Probably in the top five because he placed third overall in the 250 class in the three race 1974 series. They didn't call it supercross back then but that series evolved in to what we now know as supercross.

Here is a good one, one the cover of the original instructions manual (black and white) for the 175-250-400 is a rider with number 10 on the front, semi standing with the crowd in the background.....me not know...

I believe Buck finished 2nd overall for the day.  Mr. "T" from KTM was on hand for the action.  Who was the tuner that preped Buck's machine to run with the hi-buck factory machines?

 

[tmc3c]

That is correct Paul! Congrats to you! And I think that the answer to your question would be none other than MR Carl Cranke himself Correct? Now do you know who the other 2 riders that where there on Pentons?
