Wes Poole faced a myriad of machine woes at Barber but after alternately patching up and/or trading rides between the two BSA’s he’d brought, managed to finish well-enough to bypass Rob Poole in chasing down Greg GT Tomlinson, who retains a shrinking points lead. Wes and Rob Poole’s push in the later rounds have made for an exciting finish as AHRMA heads off to the final National off-road event of the year at Henryetta, Oklahoma.
The top four in the 2024 Dick Mann National Vintage Challenge are still Tomlinson, Wes Poole, Rob Poole and Emmy Poole. DMNVC rules require all competitors to finish a minimum of four races from 4 disciplines, and all other contestants have fallen short of doing that, with no chance to satisfy that requirement with one event to go.
Going into the Henryetta weekend, if all goes well for each of the current four top points-getters, it’s likely to be a very close-run thing between Wes Poole and GT. Who will the Race Gods frown or smile on, and will there be an ultimate upset?
Whatever the outcome, it’s been a heck of a ride!
