PEORIA, ILLINOIS, SEPT. 7, 1952—Harley-Davidson
riders Bill Miller and Roger Soderstrom virtually
dominated this year’s National Tourist Trophy
Championships. These two speed merchants each won
a qualifying heat and a national championship.
A total of six out of the day’s ten events were won on
Harley-Davidsons. Riding a Model K, Miller also posted
the day’s fastest time trial of 31.85 seconds in the 45”
division. Fastest time in the 80” class was made by Harley-
Davidson rider Paul Meyers of Urbana, Ill. — 32.02 seconds
for one lap around the half-mile T.T. course.
The first and second 45” Qualifying Heats were won by
Miller and Soderstrom, both riding K models. In the 45”
National, Miller streaked across the finish line just ahead
of Soderstrom. Jimmy Phillips of Pasadena, Calif., placed third.
Paul Meyers, Harley-Davidson, won the first 80” Qualifying
Heat, and Phillips took the second. The 80” National saw
Soderstrom roar into the lead on the first lap and increase
it all the way. Lee Christian of Lubbock, Texas, on a Harley-
Davidson, won the second 80” Consolation. This 14th victory
out of 16 National Championships dramatically proves the superiority
in performance and reliability of American-made Harley-Davidsons!
