DUBLIN, OH The tremendously popular Indianapolis Police Department Motorcycle Drill Team is set to perform four shows at the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days, July 28-30, at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio. The Indianapolis Police Department Motorcycle Drill Team, formed in 1954, now consists of twenty officers, and for more than fifty years, the Drill Team has been one of the top ambassadors for the City of Indianapolis, the State of Indiana and law enforcement around the country. “It is a privilege and an honor for us to welcome the Indianapolis Police Department Drill Team to Mid-Ohio for the AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days,” said Michelle Trueman Gajoch, president of TrueSports, Inc. “This team of skilled motor officers will thrill our fans, just as they have delighted crowds for more than 50 years.” In many ways, drill teams were the original stunt riders, performing often in tight formation many of the same tricks that today’s popular stunt riders perform. The team practices at least once a week from March through November, and all Drill Team members ride the FLHTPI (Road King) model Harley Davidson motorcycle with no modifications, except calibration of the speedometer for accuracy. Its low ground clearance and capacity for tight turns make the FLHTPI ideally suited for everyday traffic enforcement as well as drill team performance maneuvers. All of the members of the Indianapolis Motorcycle Drill Team are police officers assigned to the Traffic Enforcement Section of the Traffic Branch, and their regular duties include traffic law compliance using radar, monitoring high accident intersections and high traffic locations, and working traffic complaints from citizens. The team’s past performances include three presidential inaugural parades; the Indianapolis 500 Festival Parade; the Orange, Citrus and Fiesta Bowl parades; two Aloha Festival parades in Honolulu; the Festival of States Parade in St. Petersburg, Florida; the Kentucky Derby; numerous national HOG (Harley Owners Group) Rallies; and more than 40 American Legion National Conventions. Their accolades include a dedicated roomful of trophies, plaques, certificates and other memorabilia. The Indianapolis Police Drill Team will perform at Vintage Motorcycle Days once on Friday, July 28, twice on Saturday, July 29, and once on Sunday, July 30 in the demo ride area at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course. The drill team performances are in addition to other stunt shows, three bike shows, the annual Motorcycle Hall of Fame Museum Auction, North America’s largest motorcycle swap meet, demo rides of new bikes, seminars and a full slate of American Historic Motorcycle Racing Association action. AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days will be the third event on Mid-Ohio’s eight-race 2006 schedule.
