Diamond Don's 2011 *Multi links now*

[Dale Fisher]

Don's is now history with more race reports and pictures to come.  Chicago Jerry crashed on Saturday and left the track early with some rib issues.  I heard many compliments on the hard work he put into the cross-country course and how "great" everyone thought it was  Wishing Jerry a safe trip back and a speedy recovery!  Lot's of Penton picture to come!

This was a first attempt at a second gear start to keep the front wheel on the ground since returning to racing.  Pinned the throttle, slipped the clutch momentarily, and this was the end result to the first corner.  Slipped inside the Husky and passed the CZ after the second corner.  Unfortunatley, that lasted briefly (more PT needed).  Three of four races I felt were quality.  The first race I was so geeked up I missed more shifts than the following three motos.  Finished third twice Sportsman 100, third twice Classic 125.  Sam Chappel is on the 106 Penton and may have some video based on the helmet cam.  It's always fun to meet and see old friends again.  Some pictures of a line of Penton's should be coming from the Gresham's.
