LIVE NOW: SPRINGFILED MILE II FINALE

[dbrinkm]

i am 77 and have raced and watched the flat track mile races since a young kid ! It all started right here in the Midwest and the king of the miles is Springfield ! Such a great legacy of riders from all around the nation and the world...the power and the speed of the four stroke power beasts is awe inspiring and something of which you never tire ! My heyday was when Kenny Roberts TZ 750 was racing and my favorites were the Harley XR 750 ..heart throbbing power monsters that shook the stands as they went by ! Love it ! db

Shades of year past, Resweber, Markle, Tanner so many good riders that filled the stands, this video, Two big thumbs up.

Apparently the powers that be at American Flat Track are committed to keeping the sport in the dark ages. The way to popularize a fringe sport (which, sadly, this is) is to publicize the hell out of it. For free! Sure, on the day of the event make it pay-to-play, but within a day or two you should be making replays available in full to anyone and everyone you can get to watch it. You guys should be churning out the best of the best in 30 minute episodes showing highlights of the prelims with high energy commentary and then showing the main events in full. Let people see it! That's how you grow interest, not hiding it behind paywalls and subscriptions. No one is going to sit through three and a half hours of heat races with boring commentators only to get shafted at the end with no finale. All that does is send them on to something else that's NOT FLAT TRACK RACING! Sadly, most people will never even know who Jared Mees is, let alone other human interest stories like Shayna Texter.

Flagman waving that flag like he has somewhere else he'd like to be...😂😂😂 I'm so old I remember when the exhaust pipes used to be on the Other side😂😂😂... Good stuff thanks for posting😊

[JockiFoote]

Did u watch the final race. Great race.

[curtiscollins]

Kenny Tolbert has been building fast dependable motorcycles for 40 plus yrs. Tex Peel did great job training him.. humble opinion..

[myforktruck]

Why can't I see the main events, it says live. Is it really?

[derrickzenner]

I wish ralph was still doing supercross with emig.

[thedevilinthecircuit]

Let's have people standing out on the track to make this a bit more exciting, shall we? Just like tennis player Bobby Riggs and his folding chairs out on the tennis court.
Except he did it as a joke. [huge eye roll]

[zombiefireman]

Once more, you guys cut the main event. BS

[stevehansen]

NASSBIKE left turn, left turn, left turn.

Ralph sounds like a broken man. What happened to the energy?

[randalljames]

in what reality is having people on foot, on the track during race? Insurance not raising cane? just jealous... close to the action..

[ronjohnson]

This race track has potential for the riches dirt track spectacular for big block modifieds

No main event coverage is what made me unsubscribe to AFT last year. This is the first time I have clicked on since, but the first thing I did was read the comments to see the reactions. And sure enough, nothing has changed...
Bye, BYE AFT, from a 50 year long fan of flat track racing!

[PoolsideData]

turned this because of the female commentator -- please change her.

[southerncross]

One of the announcers (you know which one) is terrible, as in “He grabbed a hand full!!” and other just stupid stuff.
