Indian flat track
« on: May 14, 2017, 08:26:37 AM »
Just read that Indian (ok, Polaris) is throwing its hat into the flat track arena.

My first thought was, wouldn't it be great to see Excelsior out there and a return of the big three on the track. ok, anyone have a spare motor they can sell me? Got to get working on this. ;-)

The guys that went on the daytona trip said the Indian ran very strong there at those races...   surprisingly so.... I don't remember the stats....
but it dominated the HDs....

That is surprising considering this is their first real year out there... but then again we're comparing a twin OH cam motor to tired old pushrod design. ;-)
