In the end Mees won the
title by 23 points over Smith
(204-181). Sammy Halbert, who
finished fourth, moved past
Coolbeth for third in the final
standings with 172 points.

story of Mees winning the title
was the victory by Bauman, the
20-year-old from Salinas, Cali-

We live about 25 minutes from
each other, so we have a lot of

can all get that friendship back
tight again and bring it on again
next year. I enjoy racing with
Bryan."
Even though the Orleans

100 meters long it was
wide enough for multiple
racing lines.
