News from Daytona


Joe Kopp joins the elite band of Grand Slam flat trackers having won the short track, to add to his mile, half-mile and TT wins, on night two of Daytona. It's amazing for a rider of his talent and longevity not to have won a short track National before now. It brings home how hard it must be.
Brandon Robinson (from SB1) made the main on both nights. And Henry Wiles won the first night on a Kawasaki. How long is it since a Kawasaki won a GNC race? Anyone?

Over the other side of town, friend of Sideburn Ben Bostrom won the Daytona 200. Woo and indeed hoo! Sideburn loves the Boz Bros.

I believe Kawasaki won a National last year, maybe the Peoria round? I'm too lazy to look it up though, and the new AMA website is terrible for finding archived results...
Good on Joe Kopp though.

Yeppers, I believe Henry Wiles was ridin' a Kawasaki 450 when he won Peoria last year.
