AFT is having racing at the Indy Mile
Slightly off topic but open wheel and hope that the fairgrounds mile isn't dead yet.

Wow, pretty damn cool,Chuck!! Hope it's a good sign to bring back Champ Dirt Car Racing in 2021!

Does anyone know if American Flat Track is the upper echelon of motorcycle racing? I’m only a casual fan but I remember names like Kenny Roberts, Jay Springsteen, Chris Carr as running the top class of flat tracking but I thought that was AMA? Maybe someone could help me out on this? Always wanted to see the bikes on the mile and considering that the miles are going away, might be a good time to knock it off the bucket list

I've only been to half miles and shorter tracks to see the bikes I'd like to go to one of the mile shows someday. Do yourself a favor and go to a mile bike race if you can! |

Chris Carr has been doing TV commentary on NBCSN for the AFT races. Races I've seen this year have been really good!

The comment about the sprinters is the truth. At the old half mile paper clip style Ascot track in Gardena the one lap track record was held be flat trackers. They were about a half a second faster than a sprint car. And unbelievable to watch there. |

And NBCSN channel shows the flat track races about a month or 2 after they are run.

Re: AFT is having racing at the Indy Mile
Yes, this is the top rung of flat track. Indian, Harley all have factory teams, as well as other brands mixed in. Heard the horse people deal there fell thru, second hand info... We could very well see the cars back next year..
