Flat Track Racing Mega Thread - INCLUDES SPOILERS!

Wow. That Singles Main was one of the books. Great track makes for great racing.

Exciting Twins Main.

Time to start taping up the tanks and helmets for Lima.

 

[Map8]

Lima. Leema. Lighma. Call it what it want but don't miss this jewel of flat track racing this Saturday night. The deep pea gravel cushion provides changing lines in every lap, close racing all night long, and shredded leathers.

Heats start at 4:00pm Pacific
Mains start at 5:20pm Pacific

Counting the minutes until bikes are on track at Lima. In the meantime, I'll share this photo of the beautiful swingarm on Johnny Lewis' Royal Enfield.

Marquez has nothing on Daniels when it comes to saves. Full lock slide, rear coming around and then almost a high side. Comes back and wins the heat.

Now I have to leave for dinner, hope I am back for the mains. 45th anniversary today, so going where the wife want to go. Life is good.

 

[Map8]

Happy Anniversary to you and Mrs.bikeama!

Got home in time to watch the last 5 minutes for the singles and ready for the twins now. For those who did not see Daniels save. FB link https://fb.watch/lnnbUTEojK/

Great mains. Love this track. Thrilled for Bauman. That save by Daniels in his heat race was spectacular.

Its that Half-Mile time of year.

Great racing at Mineral Wells, WV last week. Many of the teams did the Barbara Fritchie Classic in Maryland on July 4th. Time to round out the week for AFT teams as they visit the Orange County Half Mile in Middletown, New York state tomorrow night.

Heats start at 4:45pm Pacific
Mains start at 5:30pm Pacific

 

[Map8]

New track for AFT tomorrow night: The Bridgeport Speedway in Sweedsboro, NJ is close to Philadelphia so its not in the Tony Soprano part of NJ. Another Half Mile or should we start calling these Half Mees? Jared Mees has won every Half Mile this season with the exception of his self-promoted race at Lima.

The champ has taken over the points lead as we head into the season's home stretch; six races between now and September 3rd so its up to Dallas Daniels to find something on the remaining Half Miles, TTs and Springfield Mile doubleheader if he wants the crown this year. Daniels may get some help from the quickly improving Briar Bauman/KTM combo that could steal some points from Mees. And we never know when Brandon Robinson, Davis Fisher, Henry Wiles, or JD Beach will steal a victory. Plenty of reasons to follow the series of showdowns over the next six weeks.

Bridgeport Half Mile Schedule:

Heats start at 4:45 Pacific

Mains at 5:30 Pacific

What a great night of racing! Both Twins heats, the Twins Dash, and the Twins main were excellent.

I was working on something and forgot about the race. Turning it on in time to watch the two main. Both good races.

Peoria TT this Sunday. Woohoo! the big one. Up. Down. Left. Right.

Peoria TT this Sunday. Woohoo! the big one. Up. Down. Left. Right.

I flew back with a friend to watch the 50th anniversary TT. We got to see our good friend Chris Carr put on a class on how to ride a TT. Peoria and Springfield are must see races if you get the chance.

 

[budman]

That must have been great Bill.

This race is… Always fun.

That is a cool pic of the new TT dude. I would expect both Yamahas up front.

 

[flying_hun]

Wiles is back in Twins, right? If so, I'd love to see Henry kick ass again.

Time to see. Twins main about to start.

Singles delivered a show today.

 

[Map8]

Huge day for Estenson Yamaha. Thrilled to see JD nab another TT win and Briar second. Mees proving he's always there. Glad Daniels wasn't hurt. Looked like he caught a handlebar in his ribs when he went down.

Black Hills Half Mile next Sunday.

 

[bikeama]

Have to say Daniels was a class act giving an interview after the race.

If you did not see the race on Fanschoice check FS1 to see when it will air next weekend.

Just five points separate championship leader Jared Mees from Dallas Daniels heading into Castle Rock. The season wraps up Labor Day weekend with a doubleheader at the Springfield Mile where Mees is favored so Daniels has to make up some points tonight.


Heats start at 6:45pm Pacific

Mains start at 8:00pm Pacific

 

[budman]

Daniels better hope that Mees has an off night because he will be at the front on the Miles.

 

[bikeama]

Should be a good race tonight. Talked with Chris Carr Wednesday at a friends funeral. He is working with AFT again and was flying up to Castle Rock on Thursday.

This has been a good season of racing.

2Fast2Tasty Challenge race was great. JD from 3rd to 1st over the jump. Dallas passing Mees for 2nd.

Going to be a great main event.
