Plus race news from Louisville, Mexico, Olympia, and other exotic places closer to home. When it comes to blowing up a real storm nobody can do a better job than Bob Hurricane Hanna. 'At the 1st 125 National he shocked the fans with a spectacular win . At the Florida Winter Series he completely dominated the open class and last week he played spoi ler by winning the Hi-Point 250 M-X National. To get all the power and handling to the track Bob uses Hi-Point competition tires. They offer ' him superior traction and adhesion when the dicing is in real close. Take a tip from Bob, use HiPoint tires when the winning is the reason for being in the race.
