Lake DePue PRO Nationals trivia challange

[PhotoGirl]

only woman would be Barbara (Bobbie) Eldredge Hammond

most titles in 125H is Buddy Tennell with 7 wins (I think)

[racingfan1]

Not a bad guess Doug but Jim only won 2 Nationals - 1994 and 1997. We have Terry Klemm , 1999 - 2003 - 2005 - 2007 , and Mike Thirlby ,2006 - 2008 - 2009 -2010, there is still one driver with 4.

Hey Doug maybe you can help me out - in what year were capsules required in all 3 classes. With the help of Bill Van, I know they phased the classes in starting with 1100 after the death of Jerry Drake in 1994 , but what year were all three required.

[PhotoGirl]

what about Eddie Thirlby in 1100r?

[racingfan1]

right right and right

That is the 3peat for Jean. Eddie Thirlby won his four 1100r titles in 87 95 96 98 - Buddy does have 7 125cch including 6 in a row from 1996-2001 , i wonder how you knew that one , - Barbara Hammond is the lone lady with her win in 1994 and you probably have great pictures of most of them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Question 15

From 1987 to 1989 a National Title was award in a class called Pro C Service. One person won all three National titles in the runabout division - who was it????

[WalkF109]

I'm going with "Fast Eddie" Thirlby again.

[racingfan1]

sorry Tony - try again

[PhotoGirl]

How about Pete Hellsten?

[racingfan1]

I dont think Jean has missed one yet , yes it was Pete Hellsten.

Question 16

Talk about taking a big leap , How about winning J-Pro in 97 and 3 years latter in 2000 winning 1100ccR , who is it????

My consultant says Spencer Love

[Doug Hall]

Capsules

I think the first year that 500, 700 and 1100 were all capsules was 1998. They fazed them in one year at a time, 1100 first, 700 second and then 500.

[racingfan1]

You have a very good consultant Jean, Spencer Love is correct.

Thanks Doug , that is what we were thinking.

[1100-one]

Spencer

And his dad was riding with him, pretty neat.

Question 17

If all the information I have received is correct the capsule era started in 1996 with 1100ccH , if this is correct who was the first driver to win in a capsule with only capsules competing at DePue ?????
