Depue

Some classes have come and gone , but the 125cc classes are here to stay , so can you the first National winner in 125h and 125r ????

I believe Tim Small was the 1st 125 R winner as he actually started the class. He might have been the hydro winner as well or Buddy Tennel.

Green & woods trophy

Who was the High Point Driver to win th Green and Woods Trophy in '66?

Part two: Who was the high point Driver in '67 when there was no Green and Woods six foot tall trophy?

1966 Hi-point I believe was Jerry Simison. 67 was probably you Ron for bringing it up. I might have been in 69, as I won "C", 2nd in "A" & 4th in "D", but no award.

[Joe J]

Are we talking about 125cch or "M" hydro?

Some classes have come and gone , but the 125cc classes are here to stay , so can you the first National winner in 125h and 125r ????

[racingfan1]

125cc joe - yes it was tim small to get the first win in 125ccr in 2002 - to get the 1st 125cc hydro winner you need to go back to 1988

Question 9

Most teams are probably on the road to Constantine for the beginning of Speedweeks , so I want to wish everybody safe travel and good luck. I hope you checked your coolant before you left , it will be very warm for the next few days.

There has always been the core classes at the PRO Nationals , but some are no longer around or maybe have just changes names. So how many different classes has there been in 26 years at DePue?????

[PhotoGirl]

27 different named classes

[racingfan1]

Answer to question 7

They say , no matter what the sport , the first championship is always the hardest to win , but try winning 20. Two driver have accomplished 20 National titles at DePue since 1985 , can you name them????????

So if Ed Thirlby was like a 2 inch tap in putt for par than the 2nd guy with at least 20 Nationals is the 5 foot downhill breaking putt on fast greens! A few people were on the right track with Greaves and Thronhill but there was another antique guy that was really dominant for several years. Jack Cambell from Culver Indiana driving the H-81 won his first DePue National in 1991. In 1997 , 2000 , 2001 , 2003 , 2004 he won 3 of the 4 antique classes and when he was done ended up 23 championships. Pretty impressive!!!!!!
