Clarity Inbound

Six races in and the direction the 2024 Mission AFT SuperTwins championship fight might be headed has been difficult to pin down, teetering between a rematch of last year’s two-rider duel featuring Jared Mees (No. 1 Rogers Racing/SDI Racing/Indian Motorcycle FTR750) and Dallas Daniels (No. 32 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT) and a return to larger-scale conflict also including the likes of Brandon Robinson (No. 44 Mission Roof Systems Indian FTR750) and Briar Bauman (No. 3 Rick Ware Racing/KTM/Parts Plus KTM 790 Duke).

Whatever shape it intends to take will become much clearer in short order. A full quarter of the campaign is set to play out over just 22 days, starting with this weekend’s Orange County Half-Mile. Once the dust settles following the upcoming run of four races in four weeks, the season will be past halfway and started down the stretch.

The contenders have had nearly a month now to rest, recover, prepare, and plan for this pivotal run of rounds. Of course, as Mike Tyson famously said, “Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.’ The haymakers will start flying this weekend in New York with no chance to catch a breath until after the DuQuoin Mile in early July.

Considering the four races in question consist of three consecutive Half-Miles concluded by a Mile – and that reigning champ Mees is the sport’s all-time winningest Half-Miler as well as the modern master of the Mile – it stands to reason that he’s primed to capitalize, does it not?

Well… maybe?

We’ll dig deeper into that possibility a bit later in this feature.
