I would go there for a flat track motorcycle race, before a USAC race. :thumb

They race at Sheboygan County Fairgrounds in Plymouth Wisconsin every year. If you get there a half hour before the race starts you will never find a seat. They draw big crowds man.

How can it be a flat track race at Eldora? Just wondering, not trying to bash anyone.

I raced Bellville in the mid 70's. Sure wasn't flat but it was "AMA GRAND NATIONAL FLAT TRACK" Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread. The last race I rode was at the Action Track. It was pretty awesome too.

I went to my first AMA race at the fairgrounds last year and I will not miss another one for sure! I have been going to races at the fairgrounds all my life, I have seen sprint cars, midgets, modifieds, late models, ARCA, champ cars, and the bikes blew the rest of them away! You'll find me inside turn three for the bikes as long as they are there.

Great thread! I went to many, many AMA Grand Natl. races for years before my addiction to Midgets, Sprints and Champ Cars....lol (I even attempted some semi-pro stuff myself, with marginal success at best)
We witnessed the one and only win in AMA history by a water-cooled 750 Yamaha by Kenny Roberts over the HD's of Corky Keener and Rex Beauchamp at the Indy Mile before it was banned! Made trips to Louisville, Peoria, Toledo, DuQuoin, Santa Fe, Astrodome, Cobo Hall in Detroit and many other Regionals.
We also were in attendance at Terre Haute when Al Michaels and Olympic Decathalon Champion Bruce Jenner did the broadcast live for ABC Wide World of Sports in '77(?) Of course we drank beer at the races back then too, and hangin' out after the races we were approached by Jenner for something to drink.....:O: We offered him a beer if he would high-jump over our van. Wouldn't you know the big sissy took a pass.....but had a beer with us anyway. Great times!

yes

I always liked going to the Peoria TT races in august. Nothing like seeing those flat trackers going over the "jump"
