Bryan Smith leads the pack at the Springfield Mile.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (September 8, 2010) — For the second-straight week, FLUIDYNE® Powersports’ custom radiator helped propel Bryan Smith and his Ninja 650-based flattracker to victory in an AMA Grand National Twins Mile event, this time in Springfield, Illinois.
“I’ve never won back-to-back nationals, so this is a dream come true for me,” said Smith of his fourth-ever Mile win. The 27-year-old former Harley-Davidson factory rider and AMA 883 champion from Flushing, Mich., is a Mile specialist: “I’m always better on the bigger, faster tracks. And how our bike makes power on the big tracks is a major advantage. Springfield is a really fast, groove track with huge corners. We go almost as fast through them as we do on the straights. We’ve got another Mile this weekend that suits my style even more. It would be awesome to keep the streak alive.”
“Fluidyne Powersports is one of the main components of our program because this racebike is only as good as its Fluidyne radiator,” said Bill Werner, co-owner and tuner of the Monster Energy- and Kawasaki-sponsored team. With the experience of more than 130 wins and 13 championships, Werner is Smith’s ace in the hole. The wily wrench wouldn’t give away his motor’s exact horsepower figure, but did divulge that the Ninja’s vertical Twin makes less torque than its V-Twin competitors, which reduces tire wear. And, as the AMA Hall of Famer says, “In this case, less is more.
In addition to keeping their cool, FLUIDYNE® radiators are also built more rugged to fend off damage. Constructed from aircraft-quality aluminum, structural highlights include thicker materials throughout, a CNC-machined billet filler neck, beaded hose connections for leak-proof sealing and a stainless-steel radiator caps. These components are held together with substantial TIG welds to withstand extreme conditions and produce a crash survival rate far exceeding the OEM parts.

Bill Werner, Bryan Smith and Jay Springsteen (L to R) celebrate their team's Springfield Mile win.
Not only do FLUIDYNE® radiators out-cool and outlast the stock units, they’re much less expensive, come with a one-year warranty and install easily, utilizing the factory mounts and hardware.
Multi-time winners in the SCORE and Best in the Desert series, including the grueling Baja 1000 and 1000-mile Vegas-to-Reno race, FLUIDYNE® Powersports radiators have been proven around the world. Developed and manufactured in the United States, they are built upon 50 years of experience in vehicular fluid dynamics.
Available for nearly 100 motorcycles, ATVs and side-by-side vehicles, FLUIDYNE® Powersports radiators are also available for custom applications such as this race-winning dirt tracker. Distributed by Parts Unlimited, Tucker-Rocky, WPS, KK Motorcycle Supply, MTA, Southern Motorcycle Supply, CV-4 and IMS Products- FLUIDYNE® Powersports radiators are readily available through thousands of dealers nationwide.

The photo is cool but what I consider a win, win, win, situation is this. # 1 FLUIDYNE is a relatively new (and needed)sponsor to flat track. #2 They are promoting flat track with a press release like this. # 3 Thank you Larry for promoting flat track and their sponsors. Personally, I’d never heard of FLUIDYNE before reading this piece. I will remember.

Yes, with the demise of Cycle News this site is one of the few places covering flat track. Now if we could get some TV coverage. I made it to Gas City, Michigan & Indy to watch in person this year. Would have loved to gone to Springfield again but couldn’t. Too bad Speed shows as much actual racing as MTV shows actual music these days!
