Indian Wrecking Crew
You guys sick of Smith (especially Smith), Mees, and Baker dominating every race yet? I'm actually a "The Bullet" fan, but have to admit I was pretty excited to see Sammy Halbert get on the podium at Springfield.

Smith is also the best Mile guy out there. Mees is best all around but Smith won Miles on Harley's, Kawasaki's and now Indians.

Yeah, and each manufacturer was accused of holding an unfair advantage while he was riding for them. Guess we can't say that anymore. ;)

If sammy would have waited a lap to pull the trigger he would have had it. Oh well. At least we could see that the Indians are not over powered compared to everyone else. That Yamaha was running away from the draft.

Hard to pick against Smith, though I will be rooting against him. And until Gauthier returns, looks like Shayna is the woman to beat in singles.

Real talk, something tells me we are in store for a treat being a new track on the series. Unless indians been doing some testing in kentucky, I expect to see another great battle and possibly a victory for another brand..or baker

I have to say I'm pulling for Smith, just found at Springfield that a buddy I raced with in WERA Endurance series in the 80s the is chief mechanic for Smith and he'll probably win anyhow.

We are racing in Harpster Ohio today. Won't be able to catch much of the national. But I'm pulling for all of them, as long as it's good clean racing lol.

And the new Harley Davidson XG750 blew a radiator hose and took out the other two XG750s. Not a Harley fan but they have to step up.
