back with the Coolbeth-Nila Racing
crew, while Robinson spearheads a
Roof Systems Racing squad that's
quietly taking shape as an indepen-
dent powerhouse.
There, Robinson will be joined by
rising stars Brandon Price and Jarod
Vanderkooi. Price has proven to be a
handful for anyone in the field when
he's on his game, and he's rapidly
improving his consistency as he
gains in experience. And Vanderkooi
is rightly regarded as a wise dark-
horse pick this season; he was every
bit a match for Halbert and Robinson
when the three teamed together at
H-D, and now it's his turn to show
what he can do when armed with an
Indian of his own.
(Left) Bauman
hopes to join an
elite list of riders
to win three
consecutive titles.
(Top right) Many
think the main
rider standing
between Bauman
and a third
straight title is
this man, Jared
Mees, who will be
gunning for his
fifth premier title.
(Right) "Slammin'
Sammy" Halbert
is one year wiser
on the Coolbeth-
Nila Racing crew.
He returns on
the Indian that
carried him to
third in last year's
championship.
