You might have heard talk of this movie being made about an offroad motorcycling legend. Now, after working with Gathr Films, there's a showing set for Dallas. However, a minimum of 80 tickets must sell before the screening will be secured. Don't worry - if the screening doesn't happen you will NOT be charged. I've purchased the first two tickets myself.

I'll post more promotional material over the weekend but I wanted to get this exciting news out to my fellow TORN racers.

Here's the link to our screening so you can check it out and help get it booked: Dallas showing of The John Penton Story

Please pass this along to those who also share an interest in motorcycles and great American stories.

We only have 13 days to sell at least 75 more tickets to meet the requirement for screening the movie at the Angelika Film Center. (Remember, if we don't meet the quota then you will not be charged for anything.)

Here's a little about John Penton:
John Penton and his brothers ran a motorcycle shop in Amherst, OH while they competed in off-road motorcycle races called enduros. Penton created his own design and commissioned KTM, a small moped and bicycle maker in Austria, to build it.
The motorcycle was an instant success in off-road competition and led KTM to expand its efforts in the motorcycle realm, initially in conjunction with Penton and ultimately on its own.

I just reserved 10 tickets, I'll be not super pumped if it doesn't happen. See ya at Bulcher!!!!!

We are making progress on securing the Dallas showing of this movie. Now we only need to sell 48 more tickets in 8 days. If you are available to see this film on Sat., June 28, purchase your tickets online now. Go to http://gathr.us/screening/8147
Did you know John Penton set the Transcontinental Record, New York to LA on a BMW in 1959 in 52 hours?

Thanks to the support and interest of many motorcyclists, we are half-way there!
Only 40 more advance tickets need to be purchased and then we have ourselves a movie screening!

Just 4 days left to get this done so please share with your friends. If you haven't already done so, watch the trailer (see link in previous post) and I think you'll be impressed.

This is it!! Only 6 hours remaining to sell the 38 tickets needed to secure the Dallas showing of the film! That's only 19 lucky couples or 10 families of four. The movie premiered in Cleveland last week and folks loved it.

In all the confusion setting up our Plano one, we didn't know this was already setup down south. That was a high # to reach for tickets.

Our's is just past halfway there, only 29 more to go. $10, Angelika Film Center in Shops of Legacy, easily accessible by 121/NDT.

Please come join us for then fun and amazing story!

Thanks to everyone who purchased tickets or otherwise supported the attempt to hold this screening but....we fell short of the required 80 ticket minimum.

Go to http://pentonmovie.com/see-the-film/ to check for other screenings of the John Penton film, such as the effort to hold one in Plano next month. (Good luck with it, Brian!)
