If only AMA could get someone to cover these races kinda like sammy does, with helmet and tail cams. and in depth interviews. kinda like nascar but without all the saftey of roll cages and hans devices. Motorsports fans would eat it up!!!!

If this track was asphalt instead of dirt, how would the riding style and the bikes change? Would the bikes look like Road Racing Bikes and would the riders ride as such or what?

Hey Sammy,

Thanks for uploading these awesome vids. I've noticed there are a lot of Flat Track footage on YT lately. That gives me hope that more people are starting to give dirttracking the exposure and recognition it deserves. I have known some people who went to The Mile (Sprngfld) for the first time and were blown away. All these videos will hopefully build a wider fanbase that the AMA couldn't.

Good luck in 2012.

@CPTHOWDY1975 I agree with you. These riders deserve more recognition. They put Bowling on TV. Like your going to get yourself hurt bowling. And they don't televise Mile Flat Track? What a shame. These riders are the space cowboys of speed. They really are a different bunch. Takes nerves of steel to ride at these speeds. Driving fast in a car is one thing but going fast on a motorcyle is insane. You could easily go from a normal healthy rider to a quadrapalegic in a second.

Thoroughbreds need to be put out to pasture. These riders go one hundred miles per hour faster.
