Tom came out to Grantsburg on a cold, rainy day in October 2002. It had rained so much that even the bottomless sand of Grantsburg
had standing water all over the track. He brought his trusty Elsinore, and someone lent him a modern KTM 125. He promptly showed
the “kids” how it’s done in 125A, and kept the old bike pegged in the sand, winning the 40A class as well.
