King Of The Baggers at Laguna Seca
July 7 and 8 saw Rounds 7 and 8 of the 2013 King Of The Baggers season at the famous Laguna Seca Weathertech Raceway , at Monterey , California , and it was a great weekend for the Vance & Hines / Mission / Harley- Davidson team and their H-D Road Glides . It was the global attention that online video of Baggers racing down the infamous Corkscrew garnered that acted as the stimulus to turn an experimental concept into a race series in the first place and now , some three years later , the series is going from strength to strength . The weekend of July 8 and 9 marked the mid-point of a seven-weekend , 14 race 2013 series , and Race 1 saw Hayden Gillim take advantage of defending champion Tyler O ' Hara ( Indian Motorcycle ) and Travis Wyman ( H-D Screamin ' Eagle ) each crashing out ( separately ) when running in place first and second on the final lap . At a stroke it promoted Gillim from third to first for his first KOTB race win , with teammate James Rispoli in second and Bobby Fong ( Sac Mile / SDI Racing / RSD Indian Challenger ) third . O ' Hara brought it home for Indian in fourth with Wyman seventh behind Jake Lewis fifth and Cory West sixth for Team Saddlemen . Jeremy McWilliams was eighth on the second factory Indian , ahead of Kyle Wyman on the second H-D Screamin ' Eagle Road Glide in ninth and Kyle Ohnsorg tenth on the second of the RSD Challengers .
In Race 2 ( July 9 ) Kyle Wyman was imperious on his Screamin ' Eagle Road Glide - leading from the start to take his fifth win of the season . That said the Vance & Hines riders ' kept him honest ' all the way to the checkered flag with Rispoli second and Gillim third . That gave V & H a win and three podiums for the weekend with Harley Road Glides scoring both wins and three podiums in total - five out the six available podium spots . Only Bobby Fong on the RSD Indian Challenger stood between the Road Glides and a podium sweep . www . roadamerica . com
