I screwed up a pass for second on the
penultimate lap that dropped me back
two places when Suicide Machine's
Aaron Guardado snuck up the inside
with two corners to go.
Across the remainder of the night
the results started to come with anoth-
er fourth and two thirds, the last while
holding second behind DiBrino right
up to the last lap when I got passed by
an unknown rider on a Harley on the
final corner.
The Indian was feeling good and by
race three I was finally comfortable to
throw the thing in on the rear brake and
rely on the grip from the Dunlops and
the track surface to hold me upright.

BUILDING A SUPER
HOOLIGAN INDIAN SCOUT
My ride for the Costa Mesa Super Hooligan race was a 2016
Indian Scout, modified extensively by the crew at Roland
Sands Design in Los Alamitos, California.
The beauty about Hooligan racing is you can go as hard
or as soft as you want on the build—the rules are relaxed at
best, which enables not just a lower cost of entry but poten-
