Doug Polen, riding his Fast by Ferracci Ducati 888, stalks fellow Texan Colin Edwards aboard the Vance & Hines Yamaha YZF750 during the AMA Superbike race at Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin’s Road America in June of 1993. Polen eventually made the pass to win the race. That season was the year Polen dominated the series to the extent that rules were changed mid-season to make the Ducati carry more weight. It didn’t work; Polen went on to easily win that year’s championship.
