Dale,

Unless you want the MX tank for looks (and it does look better) the Toaster tank is not really any wider, just taller and riding the bike you will never notice the difference.

Well Dale two heads are definitely better than one and I talked to Dave and it was Ron Sapp I bought that bike from.But I'm sure we rubbed elbows a time or two at Victor Park.I am planning to run Log Road next year.

The flat sided toaster tank was unique to the era - it's design allowed you to grip the bike with your knees better.
The classic toaster tank design is synonymous with the Penton brand.

I like the toaster tank. It is my favotite of all the Penton tanks. I have an MX tank that needs a lot of refurbishing that I plan to make a project out of to use on another Penton I am going to build. I plan to have 2 Jackpiners, one with the toaster and one with the MX tank.

I'm with Rob,there was no confusing a penton with anything else on the track during the toaster era.They were also narrower than most of the other tanks.We also have to remember pentons developmental beginings which was the six days,jack pine, berkshire. Events where capacity was a factor.

Dale, How's this project coming along ?

[gooddirt]

He wanted parts from me but never heard back from him .

[Dale Fisher]

Some of you may have observed some bits appearing on an auction site that appear strikingly similar.  I will still need help with some parts, just not as many as previously. Bob, thank you for helping me aquire the Penton project.  LG thanks for emailing me your information.  A number of things have been on hold until Victor is back in action.  Circumstances have caused a change in plans.  I am working on a budget plan, priority list, and a different Penton now[^]

[Larry Perkins]

I am the culprit.  I traded Dale out of his project and traded him a project that did not need as much work.  Worked out good for the both of us.  Hopefully he will get to ride a Penton by next season this way.

Hello,  If everyone is looking for the Penton MX tanks, where were all you guys when I had my garage sale with the one off my 74 Penton Berkshire for $3 (cap and petcocks included)?   I only races with it about a half dozen time until I replaced it with a yellow tank off I think a Penton 250.  It still has not sold!   joe
