Pennock owned a trucking company in that area and raced a beautiful green Vega at Magnolia Dragstrip.

Godspeed Bill and condolences to his family and friends.

To loose a person at any age is hard to take. We all need to learn from others mistakes. Snowmobiling and ATV riding can kill. Ride safe, sober and respect the power of all these machines. Even with all safety rules being obayed we can still get hurt or killed.

We never think of hitting a fence, pole or tree while riding however it happens. I have lost friends on ATV - snowmobile accidnets.

May all of us ride safe and best luck to family and friends.

i have suffered and endured from a snowmobile accident since 1980. there is a lot of fun to get from riding them, but at night there is a rash of deadly situations to watch for. this is a tragic event, and all other riders must slowly! view their riding areas before going to any speed. i paralized myself just surveying an area to ride on.

Snowmobile and ATV operators need to seek permission from property owners to enter their property. By introducing themselves and providing personal information while seeking permission from the owner, the property owner could advise them of fences and other dangers. Unfortunately, most snowmobile operators TRESSPASS on to private property as if it is their right to enter because the property has snow on it. I have had snowmobile operators cut my fences to drive thru without permission. Do the right thing. Respecting private property will help save your life.
