VINTAGE RACING

ON A

1926 INDIAN SCOUT

BY BUTCH BAER

    How would you like to race a motorcycle that is as old as you are?  Butch Baer did. When Butch retired in 1982 he restored an old Indian, went racing and had a ball for the next 15 years.  He traveled the country participating in vintage races on many famous race tracks, met up and raced with old competitors, some of them very famous in their day.  People like Ed Kretz, Al Knapp, Ben Campanale, Bill Truman and the legendary Jim Davis.  He has blown motors and trannys, crashed, been black flagged, raced in the rain and some times he came home a winner.                                                                                          Imaging a 1926 Indian Scout, originally designed to top out about 50 mph, screaming down the Bonneville Salt Flats at 99.44 mph. He just couldn't hit the 100 mph mark.
