In the race for the District 4 seat on City Council
incumbent Chito Vela is facing four candidates
with the two most visible challengers – Monica Guzmán and Louis Herrin – notching their third and fourth races for City Council
Quality-of-life issues are the main concerns expressed by Vela
the three candidates the Monitor was able to interview (Eduardo Romero and Jim Rabuck did not respond to requests for interviews)
The biggest difference among them is the terminology and anecdotes each uses to explain the future of the district
which is located northeast of downtown and generally bounded by Braker Lane
parks and crime were the ingredients peppered throughout conversations with the three
who was elected to finish a partial term leftover when Greg Casar was elected to Congress in 2022
said the city needs to continue its installation of sidewalks funded by recent bond packages for transportation needs
he said the next bond election will need to address local infrastructure
possibly related to larger climate and sustainability projects
“The one issue that constantly comes up across the district would be mobility issues
bike lanes and connections between different parts of the district
That’s all what I would call micromobility concerns that come up in meeting after meeting after meeting,” he said
“We have seen a number of sidewalks being installed throughout the district
That’s only fair because District 4 had not received its fair share of public resources for decades
We’re playing catch-up right now.” He said the district would likely need additional bond money for more sidewalk construction “as soon as possible.”

Larger transportation needs that impact the whole city are another concern for Vela
who sees Project Connect as a must-have initiative that needs to be completed
despite the legal challenges being made against the funding and administrative mechanisms used to pass it in a 2020 election
Vela wants design and planning to continue while the legal battles continue
and is looking for state leaders who can back any legislation that could negate the legal clouds hanging over the project
If the 2025 Legislature isn’t able to provide that solution
he said the city should consider a bond election that would more easily fund the capital costs that were included in the 2020 tax rate election
“If we get through this next session and we don’t have a resolution
and the court case has not really advanced
and we’re still sitting there with all this uncertainty
may need to go back and try a plan B,” he said
“That bond election would be tax-neutral to the public
but it would just shift the amount and say
but now this amount is for maintenance operations
As a frequent voice in favor of closing the Fayette Power Project coal-powered plant
Vela sees promise in moves by Austin Energy to secure solar contracts from local providers using rooftop systems throughout the city
He hopes those arrangements can bring more price stability for the city while meeting the needs on hot summer days when solar production is at a peak
On the question of housing needs in the district and throughout the city
Vela sees the ongoing decrease in rents as evidence that the move for more apartment construction is gradually helping to solve the ongoing affordability crisis
he said policies such as the HOME and HOME2 initiatives will likely take longer to affect housing prices
I don’t think that the HOME ordinances will have a huge impact on the look and feel of the city
I think they will have a major impact on what the city looks and feels like,” he said
noting that the passage of pro-accessory dwelling unit policy almost a decade ago has only had a modest effect in the district
He also downplayed the concerns over the possible property tax increases some see as a coming side effect of the push for density: “When you do a broad rezoning like that
you don’t really see those concentrated impacts
You tend to see a much more muted impact in terms of property tax values.”
a local organizer and the policy director for Go Austin/Vamos Austin
said residents in many portions of the district face a lack of walkable areas and nearby parks
especially those in apartment complexes around Lamar Boulevard
Photo courtesy of Monica Guzmán for D4 Campaign
“Lamar and Rundberg is still one of the deadliest intersections in the city when it comes to auto and auto-pedestrian accidents
whether it’s a mixed-use with retail on a first floor and residential above it
“There’s not enough green space for kids to play on
That’s definitely something that we really need
especially with climate change and needing to plan with that
Affordable housing is one of Guzmán’s most serious concerns for the area
She said if elected she’d partner with other Council members representing the city’s Eastern Crescent communities to push for the creation of more housing priced for low- and middle-income households
and so they will stay income-restricted for several years
the owner can flip it to make it all market rate
which would potentially displace the residents who are in there at the time that is done,” she said
have a relationship with the property owners and with management to encourage them to keep it income-restricted in perpetuity
especially the rental properties that are income-restricted.”
Other quality-of-life issues Guzmán wants to see addressed include the creation of neighborhood circulator routes to help residents have better access to the limited number of full-service grocery stores in some areas
She also pointed to the increased visibility of open drug markets and sex workers spreading north on Georgian Drive as an issue that the Austin Police Department and Austin Independent School District need to work together to address
Those issues as well as the needs of those experiencing homelessness tie into Guzmán’s belief that the city should pivot its public safety resources further into community and mental health
with case workers and related professionals able to produce better results than the police officers and paramedics who respond to the bulk of 911 calls
she would like to see the APD budget held flat for at least another year so the money to fund the raises called for by the proposed Austin Police Association contract could be directed elsewhere
“’I’m not saying that the police aren’t needed
but our police are responding to calls for things that should be responded to by other folks who are appropriately trained,” she said
She added that the $80 million Community Investment Budget called for by an assortment of community groups could have easily been funded with a fraction of the police budget
but a drop in the bucket compared to the whole budget
Being told that there’s no money and we’re facing a deficit
yet all of a sudden more than $200 million has been found for use for across five years – it just raises red flags.”
who works as an engineer for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality
a stronger police force and a shift to community policing are necessities for the district he said has seen a rise in larcenies and other crimes that don’t attract major attention from city leaders
“Even though they’re saying the statistics are going down,” he said
I’m not calling 311 anymore because we know nothing’s going to happen
I think that’s what a lot of people have the feeling.”
where we have officers that are basically assigned to a certain community
and we have basically a two-way conversation
I don’t see that happening because we’re understaffed.”
Herrin said parks throughout the area need more attention and features to make them family friendly
with neighborhood groups often taking up the bulk of the work to mow and maintain the areas
Herrin said a comprehensive audit of city operations and finances is needed to identify inefficiencies and waste
He pointed to the many levels of permitting and planning approvals needed to build a home as an example of redundancy he’d like to eliminate
“It needs to be independent because I want them to show where we’re duplicating things
and where we’re doing stuff that we shouldn’t be doing,” he said
“One of the things I suspect that will come back is a lot of the city pet projects will be going away
But that is one of the things I think we can probably save money on that big time.”
Herrin doesn’t spare his criticism of the Project Connect mass transit plan
the cost of which he said was lowballed to win support from voters
With the costs increasing and the scale of the first phase shrinking
he said a better approach to transit would have been prioritizing commuter lines into the city from surrounding suburbs to take more long-distance travelers off the road
Herrin said he’d be pointed in his views and wouldn’t join a bloc of similarly minded officials on the City Council dais
“I don’t have a problem calling somebody out when I have a disagreement with them
I will explain my side and I would expect them to explain their side
and it leads to corruption … when somebody’s calling to put a pet project up
because we need to go back to the basics.”

Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati’s Josh Herrin will roll into Daytona International Speedway this week riding high with a level of confidence that only comes from winning two Daytona 200s in a row
but a fourth win would put him just one trip to Victory Lane away from making it a three-way tie with Scott Russell and Miguel Duhamel
There’s a race to be run and it is historically one of the more difficult to win
and you need a motorcycle that is fast and a pit crew that is both fast and mistake-free
You also need to have the instinct of being in the right place at the right time to win a last-lap battle to the tri-oval and the checkered flag that awaits there
Case in point: Most of the winners of the Daytona 200 have only won once in the race’s 82-year history
Herrin and his three victories will be joined on the grid by another multi-time winner
2017 and 2018) and he’s back for another try in 2025
14 years before his third win in the 82nd edition of “The Great American Motorcycle Race” this past March
Thirty-six riders will attempt to qualify for the 83rd running of the Daytona 200 on five different brands of motorcycles
The grid is again international with riders from six different countries represented with the Brits leading the foreign charge with six entries
one of whom is a 14-time Isle of Man TT winner and the all-time lap record holder on the Island with an average speed of 136.358 mph – Peter Hickman
The PHR Performance Triumph-mounted Hickman will be making his second start in the 200 after making his debut in the race last year
the 29-time Isle of Man TT winner) will compete in his second Daytona 200
and he’ll be aboard a Milwaukee Ducati MD Racing Panigale V2 this time around
the Daytona 200 wasn’t the thriller we’ve come to expect
there was a large pack of riders in the lead group until the pack was thinned down during the first pit stop
Herrin won the race in the first pit stop with his team turning in a quick performance while his closest challenger
Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki’s Richie Escalante
hoping Lady Luck speaks better Spanish than she does English
Escalante was robbed of what seemed to be a sure second place last year when he ran out of gas
coasting around for what would end up being a fourth-place finish
but he moved up a spot when Bobby Fong was DQ’d for having a fuel tank that exceeded the legal size
will be back with another year of racing under his belt
Scott took full advantage of Escalante’s bad luck last year to finish second
and he should prove to be a threat in this year’s big race
Hayden Gillim rode the Vesrah Suzuki to third place last year
be in the two Mission King Of The Baggers races this weekend
The fastest of the Brits in 2024 was Hickman’s PHR Performance Triumph teammate
Cooper is one to watch for as he ran in the lead pack until a crash took him out of the race
four-time Daytona 200 winner Danny Eslick is entered for the 200 on a TOBC Racing Triumph Street Triple 765 RS
Eslick certainly isn’t a favorite to win a fifth 200
Brandon Paasch has two Daytona 200 wins to his credit
and he’s self-entered on another TOBC Racing Triumph
Paasch is serious about Daytona and is spending his own money to make it happen
Another Daytona first timer with a wealth of racing experience is Brit Danny Webb
will ride a Team Classic Suzuki GSX-R750 in the 200
are back for another Daytona 200 on their Truelove Brothers Racing Suzuki GSX-R750s
The most American championship series in the history of American road racing is bringing two riders from across the pond to compete for the 2025 Mission King Of The Baggers Championship
giving the series a truly international flair
With Australian Troy Herfoss returning to defend his 2024 Mission King Of The Baggers title
three of the six factory rides are now in the hands of international stars
The newbies to the championship are Frenchman Loris Baz
who will join Herfoss and Tyler O’Hara as the third rider on the S&S/Indian Motorcycle “Wrecking Crew,” and Brit Bradley Smith
who joins the Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing team of Kyle Wyman and part-timer James Rispoli
MotoAmerica Superbike and MotoGP racer Baz finished fifth in last year’s MotoAmerica Superbike Championship on a factory Ducati Panigale V4 R but was left looking for a ride at season’s end when the Warhorse HSBK Racing Ducati team announced that they would run just one Superbike in 2025
and it would be ridden by defending MotoAmerica Superbike Champion Josh Herrin
Baz was part of a tryout/test with Indian in the offseason
making him the first Frenchman to take part in the American V-twin series
Baz’s Baggers debut on his Harley-Davidson Road Glide will also be his initiation to racing on the high banks of Daytona International Speedway
which has been the Frenchman’s childhood dream
When 35-year-old Smith lines up at Daytona
it will be his MotoAmerica debut and his first laps at Daytona
The well-traveled Brit has competed in MotoGP
World Supersport and the World Superbike Championship
He most recently served as a test rider for BMW’s World Superbike effort
Even though Baz and Smith have impressive international racing resumes
Herfoss will begin the season as the favorite and rightfully so after his seven-win 2024 season earned him the title in his rookie season of both Mission King Of The Baggers and MotoAmerica
Almost every track that Herfoss visited in 2024 was new to him
The Aussie learned a lot in the two Daytona Baggers races last year as he finished a close second in both races to the man he battled with in a championship fight that went to the very last race of the season
That man was Harley-Davidson x Dynojet Factory Racing’s Kyle Wyman
the winningest rider in Mission King Of The Baggers history with 18 career victories
Wyman has a zillion laps around Daytona International Speedway
including the all-important last laps and the drafting battles that can win or lose you races in Daytona
who is back for a second year with the factory team
This time it will be on a limited schedule that includes at least Daytona and Road America
Rispoli will also be making his Mission Super Hooligan National Championship debut on a KWR Racing Harley-Davidson Pan America
RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson will field the same team as last year
with 2023 Mission King Of The Baggers Champion Hayden Gillim again teaming up with rising star Rocco Landers
who ended the 2024 season fourth in the series standings with two victories late in the season
ended up in a tie with his teammate for third in the title chase
but the Kentuckian earned the spot with three victories to Landers’ two wins
The Saddlemen Race Development team will be a two-man effort for 2025 with Cory West and Jake Lewis set to ride the team’s Harley-Davidson Road Glides
New to Mission King Of The Baggers racing is South African Cameron Petersen
Petersen will see double duty this year as he will ride the SDI Racing Indian Challenger
Petersen will also ride a Celtic/Economy Lube & Tire by Warhorse HSBK Ducati Panigale V2 in the MotoAmerica Motovation Supersport Championship
TAB Performance Racing will field Kyle Ohnsorg on an Indian Challenger with perennial privateer and fan favorite Max Flinders (also an expat who was born in Great Britain) returning to the class on his Lyndall Brakes/M3 Harley-Davidson Road Glide
Eight Harley-Davidson Road Glides and five Indian Challengers will be on the grid for the series-opening Daytona round
Thirty-five riders will take part in the opening round of the 2025 MotoAmerica SC-Project Twins Cup Championship at Daytona International Speedway
led by 16-year-old defending series champion Alessandro Di Mario on his Robem Engineering Aprilia RS 660
The list of challengers is long and begins with 2024 MotoAmerica Junior Cup Champion Matthew Chapin
The 17-year-old from Maryland had two outings in Twins Cup last year in the series finale at Circuit of The Americas
finishing an impressive fourth and fifth in the two races
Chapin will ride a Suzuki GSX-8R from under the RevZilla/Motul/Vance & Hines Suzuki awning where he will be able to draw from the experience of his two teammates Hayden Gillim and Rocco Landers – especially Landers
who finished second in last year’s Twins Cup series on the team’s GSX-8R and is also a former champion in the class
With Di Mario and Chapin leading Aprilia’s and Suzuki’s charges
the Yamahas will likely be led by the Giaccmoto Yamaha Racing team and Dominic Doyle
The South African finished third in the championship last year with two wins and six total podiums on the Yamaha YZF-R7
With three of the top five riders from last year’s championship – Landers; Gus Rodio
who won both Twins Cup races at Daytona last year; and Rossi Moor
who will be racing in Europe – moving to other classes or series
the next-highest-ranked rider taking to the grid at Daytona is Sean Ungvarsky
The Arizona native will be joined by Monaco resident Romeo Chiavini on the team’s Yamaha YZF-R7s
won a Twins Cup race last year and finished seventh in the title chase
Dreher will be racing another of the Suzuki GSX-8Rs
A horde of former Junior Cup racers have moved up to the SC-Project Twins Cup class
including Karns/TST Industries’ Isaac Woodworth and his teammates Levi Badie and Elisa Gendron-Belen
MotoAmerica’s first Twins Cup Champion in 2018
Mission Super Hooligan National Championship – Loaded For Bear
Led by defending series champion Cory West and his Saddlemen Race Development Harley-Davidson Pan America
the 2025 Mission Super Hooligan National Championship is stacked with talent
featuring 49 entries racing across nine different brands of motorcycles
West will lead the loaded Saddlemen Race Development team where he will be joined by Jake Lewis
Harley’s effort is strong and deep with a factory-backed KWR Harley-Davidson team featuring the threesome of James Rispoli (Rispoli will also race for Harley in the Mission King Of The Baggers series at Daytona and a few other select events)
With Indian pulling its factory team out of the series to focus its efforts on the Mission King Of The Baggers Championship
the series is now heavy on Harley-Davidson Pan Americas (11) and KTMs (14 of the 890 and 990 DUKE Rs)
and the sure-to-be-attention-getting ARCH 2S-R
ARCH Motorcycles is owned by actor Keanu Reeves
and the 2S-R will be raced at Daytona and beyond by Corey Alexander
who will see double duty after Daytona in the Motovation Supersport class on his Rahal Ducati Moto Panigale V2
Other notables set to battle include South African Dominic Doyle
who will be aboard a Giaccmoto Yamaha Racing MT-09 SP
as well as Hawk Mazzotta on a Strack Racing Yamaha MT-09 SP
and Competition Werkes Racing’s Andy DiBrino on his Triumph 765RS
Tyler Scott earned pole position for last year’s Daytona 200 with his 1:48.047 coming in the Time Attack qualifying session
Scott’s best was just .100 of a second faster than Stefano Mesa’s 1:48.147
Bobby Fong completed the front row with his 1:48.697
The 2024 race winner Josh Herrin started from the middle of the second row
the top six riders all lapped in the 1:48s
The fastest lap in the race went to fourth-place finisher Richie Escalante with his 1:48.625 barely besting Karel Hanika’s 1:48.628
Race winner Herrin had the third-fastest time – a 1:48.869
Suzuki leads the way in entries for the 2025 Daytona 200 with 11 of the GSX-R750s That’s four more than Ducati’s seven entries
and Kawasaki – each with six motorcycles attempting to qualify
Yamaha is the winningest brand by far in Daytona victories with 27 wins since the first Daytona 200 was held on the old beach circuit in 1937
The winner of that first Daytona 200 was Ed Kretz
Harley-Davidson sits second on the all-time manufacturer wins list in the 200 with 16 victories
the last of which was Cal Rayborn’s victory in 1969
The third-highest win total goes to Honda with 11 victories
with Jake Zemke being the last rider to win on a Honda in 2006
The first Daytona 200 to be run at Daytona International Speedway was in 1961 with Roger Reiman taking victory on his Harley-Davidson
This year marks the 40th anniversary of then-23-year-old Freddie Spencer’s historic victory in the Daytona 200 in what was the first year of Superbikes taking over from Formula One machines in the premier event of Bike Week
Superbikes were featured in the race until 2005 when 600cc Formula Xtreme bikes took over
The FX class ran in the Daytona 200 until 600cc Daytona SportBikes were used
beginning in 2009 with Ben Bostrom’s victory on a Yamaha YZF-R6
This year’s 200 will mark the start of MotoAmerica’s fifth season of using the FIM’s “Supersport Next Generation” rules in the race
with the class featuring Ducati’s Panigale V2
Seven countries will be represented in this year’s Daytona 200
who won “The Great American Motorcycle Race” in 2008

Hunter Herrin has lived life on the bubble before and this year
it came down to the very last weekend for him
The veteran tie-down roper looked like one down the stretch
never flinching in his NFR fight and finishing No
12 in the World Standings despite sitting No
It will be the 40-year-old’s 14th trip to the big show
After winning just $1,500 on his first five runs of the season
Herrin more than doubled it in Rapid City with an 8.8-second run that got him third place money
Herrin got his first taste of Texas Swing success at the second stop in San Antone
where he advanced second out of Bracket 2 with $4,500 and then added $2,000 for a second place finish in the Second Semifinal
He also made the Finals in Austin in the Texas Swing
Despite 9.0 seconds being his fastest run in Austin
things still broke his way for a fourth place finish in the Average
He was helped mightily when a 16.6-second run got him third in the Finals
Only five tie-down ropers caught all three in Austin
Herrin was consistent to kickoff the Summer Run and it paid well
He didn’t place in either of the first two rounds
but still made solid runs to stay in the Average race
he was 27.7 seconds on three for fourth place
That made up over $6,000 of his earnings in Reno
Herrin turned in a 7.5-second run to get his Playoff Series win on Aug
It was his fastest run of the season to that point and his first win in Idaho since 2021
Herrin won Ellensburg for the third time in his career
His three runs were between 8.5 and 9.1 seconds and he won the Finals with an 8.8 to seal the deal
three tenths clear of the rest of the field
16 in the World Standings and things got off to a rocky start when he made a 34.6-second run to in Round 1
It turned out to be a massively important run
because the very next one was a 7.6 and with two qualified times
He was 7.3 in the Eight-Man and then 7.1 in the Four-Man
his two fastest runs of the season back-to-back
He ended up second and made the NFR with room to spare

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
As Daytona Beach Bike Week wrapped up on Sunday, Josh Herrin made history on Saturday at Daytona International Speedway when he became the first rider in Daytona 200 history to win “The Great American Motorcycle Race” three times in a row
It was also Herrin’s fourth Daytona 200 victory
putting him one win away from tying the all-time win leaders
Herrin won the 83rd running of the Daytona 200 by being consistently faster than his pursuers in the infield, especially late in the race. With just six laps to go, Herrin ripped off a 1:47.879 lap on his Warhorse HSBK Ducati Panigale V2 to seal the deal
It was a new race lap record and just .046 of a second shy of Richie Escalante’s qualifying lap record from 2024
Escalante’s bad Daytona luck turned around on Saturday with the Vision Wheel M4 ECSTAR Suzuki rider finishing second to Herrin after running in the lead pack for the duration
Escalante didn’t have the pace to go with him and once the draft was broken it was game over
Herrin was 5.33 seconds ahead of Escalante
who had his hands full with his teammate Tyler Scott
His teammate beat him to the line by his teammate by a miniscule .008 of a second
“[T]his has just been an amazing experience
I’m just lucky to be in this position and have a chance at this
I would have never imagined to get three in a row
everybody,” says Herrin after his historic victory
Unlike Friday, when he secured a rare runaway Daytona victory, S&S/Indian Motorcycle’s Troy Herfoss made Wyman earn Saturday’s win
played the cat-and-mouse game on the final lap
and then pulled the pin with Wyman holding Herfoss off at the finish line by .056 of a second
“I was confident because all five of these wins
I’ve led out of the chicane,” Wyman comments
I led out of the chicane… I knew tire conservation was going to be a big deal
I tried to really chill out in the first half of the race and leave a little bit for the end
Herfoss had crashed while gaining ground on Wyman on Friday and was fortunate to score a handful of points after remounting to finish eighth
Dallas Daniels (No. 32 Estenson Racing Yamaha MT-07 DT) opened his 2025 Grand National Championship campaign in perfect double-victory fashion by completing the short track Daytona I & II sweep on Friday night. However, he was forced to do so in a manner that yet again promised an incredible Progressive American Flat Track season to come
After stealing Thursday’s victory from Briar Bauman despite struggling almost all day
Daniels was more in his expected title-favorite form throughout Friday’s program
Daniels continued that trend by breaking free early in the Main Event
Bauman found himself caught up in a four-rider melee that also included Henry Wiles (No
I thought last night was the toughest I ever had to ride
I had a really good night going… I was feeling really good
I got a really good start and was out front
Daniels has the early title advantage following Rounds 1 & 2 after grabbing the maximum of 46 points in Daytona
