1949 Indian Arrow Flat Track Racers in Indianapolis, 2011

These seven Indians were raced at Mid America Speedway as part of the Indianapolis 2011 Moto GP weekend. All have been identically prepared and contain an amazingly high percentage of original parts. Built originally by Bob Stark, these machines are now in the care of Mike O'Neil. The purpose of this program is to put these machines out on the track so that riders and fans can experience a lesser known Indian model from a different era. If this looks familiar, you may have seen them race previously in California in Eddie and Jodi Mulder's WCVDT series.

Bob you will be missed a family friend for over 60 years. Your contribution at bringing back these bikes is unparalleled.

Years ago I bought the 2 cylinder version of this engine from some lying Bulgarian/former Soviet Block weasel who said it would likely run LOLOLOLOL.
But since I bought it just because it's such a pretty engine running or no, thanks Bulgarian weasel!
