JEFFREY CARVER GETS
MAIDEN TWINS WIN
R
ound seventeen of the American
Flat Track season was AFT's
David vs. Goliath, as the ultimate
privateer took on the factory might
of Indian Motorcycle and Harley-Da-
vidson Motor Company on the Texas
Motor Speedway's high banked dirt
oval.
Jeffrey Carver (Ben Evans Racing/
Carver's BBQ) is definitely an "Old
School" motorcycle racer. Carver
rides as many outlaw, non-national
events as possible to make enough
money to get to the next race.
"I started my own program at the
beginning of the year and showed up
at Daytona with just one motorcycle.
We've been traveling the circuit all
year," said Carver. "We slept on the
ground after a couple nationals this
year because we didn't have any mon-
ey. We are just going for it."
