I have attended motorcycle racing before but nothing prepared me for how much fun I would have watching flat track racing at Auburn’s Fast Friday. What a hoot!!
Ok, I am new to this and was surprised how small the front tires were almost like bicycle tires. Also, I assume there are no brakes and no gears and no starter as they seemed to push start all the bikes. Those of you that have done this type of racing or know it need to help me out here since I am most curious! They had several “heats” including one elimination for teens and one for really little kids. It was adorable.
I attended this race with Tyler, two of her friends and my IH and what a fine evening. I heard rumor that next weekend is a UJM show. I can see I need to get out more. I need to bring mine and see who can fix it as I hear that’s half the show. My new schedule will include racing on fridays, but I believe I need to get a few tattoos to keep attending. 😉
Here are a few shots from the races. I had my little point and shoot so I imagine Ms. Tyler with her awesome camera will really have some GREAT shots, but mine were fun.
One of the younger fans with his ear protection…thanks you smart mother!
I need to look for his GoPro footage on YouTube.

I do believe there is a RK in the arena….run what you brung (i am not even sure how to spell that!) Gotta give the guy kudos!
I also found this amazing vintage footage of some FT racing I thought you might enjoy. I know I certainly did! 😉
