between the top three was
66-1000ths of a second in yet
another amazing Grand National
Mile finish.
The sparse crowd that
showed up for this year's race
saw an excellent display of the
varied lines, the best Grand
National Championship mile flat
track racing has to offer. Baker
was charging hard into the turns
and running up in the loose dirt,
or the cushion of the high line.
That would allow him to then dive
back onto the groove with a tre-
mendous amount of momentum.
Smith on the other hand, took
the shortest way around Indy,
running low on the blue groove.
Mees tried a combination of
cushion and groove riding, prob-
ing around looking for a faster
line as the track changed during
the final.
Coming home alone in fourth
was Mikey Martin, about two
seconds back from the lead
Brad Baker's (6)
winning line earned
him his first career
Grand National
Championship win on
a mile.
