Wyman Priddy Memorial

ATTENTION RACERS! The King of the Hill Small Bore Trophy Race is coming up very soon. Again this will happen as a two moto race during the Wyman Priddy Memorial. There is just a couple of weeks left to get your vintage small bore bike ready and dialed in. I'm working on mine now, how about you?! Getting to the starting gate is half the battle on a 125! Be sure to have a look at the Vintage Small Bore class rules in the TVRC Rule Book. As of 10/21/04, last years winner, and current "King of the Hill", Joe Busby, is working with Clay "KungFugate" on a Maico 125 for the race.
 

 Clay is saving the day for Joe, and putting him on a competitive motorcycle
 
Bubba Chambers and Mark Brown were at Mosier Valley Sunday with a pair of super clean KX125s, and are ready to race in November. Bob Lucas is currently trying to make a deal with David Thompson on a Penton 125. Lets hope he can get it together in time. I've heard through the grapevine that John Fricke is working on a Honda CR125, and that Bob McNamara is still trying to glue the cylinder to the case on his CR125. I was able to work a few of the bugs out of my TM at Mosier on Sunday, but threw a chain in the first moto, and broke a few parts. Repairs have already been made! Please email me with any updates you have on your Vintage Small bore project at chunx@azone.net   As of today, 11/5/04, here is the latest news on our race. Bob Lucas and David Thompson were able to strike a deal on that 125 Penton, and I delivered it to Bob last week. I'm not sure that he will get it working in time for the race, but he has no excuse if he's not there racing it on November 21st. The same night that I delivered the Penton to Bob, I was able to watch as Kungfugate and Joe "King of the Hill" Busby meticulously reassembled the lower end of the Maico 125 they plan to run. All was looking great until they discovered a "mystery part". Hmm?

I hope its nothing important. I always seem to come out with a few extra parts when putting engines back together. Don't you? I have heard rumors that local wild man Chris Barton has set himself up with a Can Am 175. No doubt Chris will be a force to contend with on a bike like that. Albert Newman emailed to tell me that he is going to make every effort to be there with a pair of Honda Elsinores', one for himself, the other for friend Keith Hughes. I hope they make it, we didn't have a single Honda in the race last year. Dave Allard emailed to tell me that he can run faster than a vintage 125. Dave, I'll give you a half a lap head start, get going! At this years race, last years top five finishers should number there bikes accordingly: Joe Busby 1 Scott Andersen 2 Mark Brown 3 Bubba Chambers 4 David Thompson 5

I look forward to racing with all of you again on the screaming 125's. Get that machine working now! Scott Andersen 76J
