Lanny Allen Wins WERA C Superbike Battle

Lanny Allen (53) leads Reuben Frankenfield (35) and Frank Wilson (12) in a WERA C Superbike race at Indianapolis Raceway Park in April of 1994. Fast Canadian Wilson moved up to take the lead, but Allen got him back on the final lap to win an exciting race. Allen and Frankenfield were the top road racers from the Indianapolis area during the early-to-mid 1990s. The two had dozens of tight battles in WERA North Central Region races.

    Check out what I came to call a “Daytona fender” on Lanny Allen’s bike, that you posted a few days ago.
    The center is missing from use on a high-speed track where it gets forced down by the wind against the tire and worn away.

  2. Is this the same Frank Wilson that raced with Team Swine Dudes (which became Team Pearls) in the middle 1990s? If so, didn’t he pass as the result of crash sometime in the late 1990s?

    Yes Frank died in an accident in 2000 I believe. He came on and was very fast from the start. Won a lot of WERA races in the North Central Region. I think he won some of the national events in Canada as well.
