[QUOTE="bigjohnsd, post: 1332611, member: 86475"] Dirt Track or "Flat Track" racing is making a resurgence. The current crop of Moto GP riders has discovered that the skill set of riding on the dirt is helpful in riding their Moto GP bikes. [URL="https://amaproracing.com/flat-track/news/view/64173"]https://amaproracing.com/flat-track/news/view/64173[/URL] The inclusion of Flat Track in the X-Games has also boosted the popularity with younger folks. The fact that Kawasaki has beaten the ancient XR750 Harley Davidsons like a drum also helps. Harley has gone to a new "Street" based powerplant. Indian will enter the fray next year with an Indian Scout based engine. Yamaha has a pseudo-factory effort as well, Babe Demese a really old school 80 year old "Racer" turned Tuner with his rider Dominic Colindres have put Yamaha on the map too. The Yamaha FZ7 based powerplant has produced right at 100 hp. Flat track on a mile oval is like ballet and with five laps to go anything is still possible. Check it out if you get a chance Next event is the Springfield Mile on September 4th [URL="https://amaproracing.com/flat-track/news/view/64240"]https://amaproracing.com/flat-track/news/view/64240[/URL] [/QUOTE]
