"His name will be forever etched as a
Daytona SX winner."
Daytona Supercross
Congratulations Justin! Unwav-
ering dedication and discipline
and lots of hard work are pay-
ing off.
Many racers would have
given up if things didn't hap-
pen for them within the first few
years. You're obviously made of
different stuff, the kind of stuff
that the armchair racers are
completely unfamiliar with. You
never gave up, and now you
are a Daytona winner.
Your win was a win for the
working man. I hope there are
more. It sure looks like you're
fast enough these days!
Howard Halterman
Long-time coming, always look
for Justin. Remember he al-
most got one on the yellow and
black YZ a few years ago.
Congrats on a great win.
Daytona isn't for the slackers.

Down goes Tomac! One heck
of a charge back through the
pack.
Musquin went down at least
twice and still managed a fifth.
Congratulations to Justin
Brayton. His name will be
forever etched as a Daytona SX
winner.

If Chad Reed want's to chase
records, fine with me. He's has
always been one of my favorite
racers when he was on top; I'm
not going to desert him now
just because he's not. Nobody
wins forever. Nobody races
forever. It's his life and career
to do whatever he likes. And he
likes supercross, so I'm glad to
see him out there.
And if a mud race comes up,
don't be surprised if he wins it.
He's maybe the best mud rider
of all time.

ARCHIVES: When
H-D Almost Won A
Superbike Race
I was one of those Harley hat-
ers that screamed themselves
silly on that sunny day in 1994.
When the pack came into turn
four and Mr. Duhamel out-
braked everyone to slither into
the lead, my beer flew in the air
and a slew of "holy f'ing shits"
spewed out of my mouth.
I watched in absolute amaze-
ment, as he did the same
thing for the next four laps. Mr.
Lawrence's description of that
day is nuts-on. It was magical.
Even though I secretly loved
watching the Bostrom and Wait
brothers hustle those 883s
around in clouds of burnt ex-
haust valves and ground-down
frame bits each week, I was the
first one to rip on the chrome
and fringe crowd. But for that
one afternoon, I was truly in
Hog Heaven.
I always admired the efforts
of anybody that rode the VR.
Well, except for Mr. Ru$$el.

Flat Track Preview
With now seven FTR's at every
race, it's not a question of In-
dian repeating, it's whether any
non-Indian can podium. Other
than Henry Wiles and Briar
Bauman at TTs on Kawi's, I'd
say no, unfortunately. At least
with that many FTR's in the
field, Jared Mees will likely not
be so dominant.
Michael Mcline
Should be fun to watch, this will
be an epic season!
