Texter and Coolbeth win in Iowa

 Shayna Texter won the Knoxville half-mile Pro Singles class for the second year running.
While, after missing a chunk of the season, H-D's factory rider, Kenny Coolbeth won the Knoxville Expert Twins half-mile, lapping a number of riders in the final.
 Nichole Cheza came in a very impressive 8th in the 18-rider main.
Always in the hunt on the halves and miles, Bryan Smith was 5th.
 Sammy Halbert scored the last spot on the podium. New lid colours too, I think.
Matt Weidman in his lairy new leathers.
Robert Pearson was the first Kawasaki and first non-Harley, in 4th
 Back on it, Jake Johnson came in second.
Mees won the six-man dash for cash, but seemed to have a mechanical in the Main and failed to finish. That DNF closed the title race right up.
Brandon Robinson is dwarfing his Kawasaki Ninja. He came 7th in the main.
Mikey Martin made another main on the Bonneville Performance Triumph twin, coming home in 11th. Read about man and machine in Sideburn 11.
