VOLUME ISSUE SEPTEMBER , P97
Jared Mees (1) leads
the way early in the
SuperTwins main.
SEALS
AFT TITLE
Mees didn't only battle them;
he defeated them all in one final
triumphant ride—as he officially
announced his retirement the
morning after the race—that
serves as the exclamation point
in his application for Greatest of
All Time consideration.
His trademark fighting spirit
was on display from the start as
Mees and Robinson engaged in
an early back-and-forth scrap
for the lead that made obvious
Mees' intentions to do more than
circulate midpack in an extended
tour of half-speed victory laps.
