FEATURE I 2023 AMERICAN FLAT TRACK SEASON PREVIEW P128 sive in its strength or numbers, the collective efforts of Roof Sys- tems' Brandon Robinson, JMC Motorsports' Jarod Vanderkooi, Rackley Racing's Davis Fisher and Ben Lowe, and GOMR's Billy Ross should prove more than enough to gun for a bevy of podi- ums, multiple wins, and perhaps even a title run or two. ON A MISSION Beyond the high-profile title hopes of Bauman, Daniels and Beach, a growing cadre will line the Super- Twins grid on production-based equipment this season. Briar's brother, Bronson Bau- man, has joined in making the switch to KTM with long-time Latus Motors collaborators Fastrack Racing. Additionally, Wally Brown Racing snapped up reigning Mission Production Twins Champion Jesse Janisch to run a partial season aboard its KTM Duke-based project, one that was strong enough already in '22 to win a pair of support- class races and land on the premier-class podium. While starting their respec - tive existences as three distinct programs, the parallel KTM pro- grams could conceivably share notes and data to speed up the development process across the board in a way previously only the Indians could hope to. The same is true for the con - tingent of Yamaha MT-07-based programs that have stepped for- ward to answer the call after the Mission Production Twins class was merged into the premier class for the new season. Two-time Production Twins champions G&G Racing re - cruited former Estenson Racing pilot Kolby Carlile to replace the now retired Cory Texter, while the likes of Dan Bromley, Cam- eron Smith, Nick Armstrong, and even established Mission SuperTwins star Sammy Halbert will compete either full or partial seasons on independent MT-07 equipment. Wally Brown Racing snapped up reigning Mission Production Twins Champion Jesse Janisch (33) to run a partial season aboard its KTM Duke- based project.
