ust three days after the rivalry
between Grand National Cham-
pionship contenders Briar Bau-
man and Dallas Daniels hit DEFCON
3 when Bauman unintentionally
knocked Daniels into the dirt, the
paddock returned to the Jackpine
Gypsies Motorcycle Club to wage
war at the venue's hybrid TT circuit.
Three days wasn't much time to
allow tensions to dissipate, nor was
it so long that anyone was forced to
stew in their feelings. Instead, the
Mission AFT SuperTwins title fight
-
ers immediately returned to battle
and were happy to do so.
Still, the potential for escala-
tion was high. The technical layout
mixed up big jumps in the dirt and
tight corners on the pavement. A
relatively narrow line often made
riders force the issue to create their
own overtaking opportunities, and
the timesheets showed Rick Ware
Racing star Bauman and Estenson
Racing Yamaha ace Dallas Daniels
in a virtual deadlock all day long.
Bauman led a practice and quali
-
fying session, as did Daniels, the
two twice separated by less than
a tenth of a second on the tim-
ing sheets. They then went 1-2 in
their heat as well as in the Mission
#2Fast2Tasty Challenge that led up
to the hotly anticipated main event
rematch.
