With the previous post about "Your first bike", I wondered if anyone here watched Speedway motorcycle races?
In Auburn, about 45 minutes from me, they have a great 1/8 mile flat track. They have been racing up here for years. It used to be a 1/4 mile stock car track years back.
The racing is FAST and exciting! These guys really go, and have no brakes... The Class-1 mains can be simply amazing the way they throw the bikes sideways, passing, and wheelie down the straight!
There have been a few tracks around California, but only a few seem to stay permanent. Occasionally they will have team races of N.Ca against S. Ca. And, every once in a while they will get European teams over for a bit of team racing. Seems it is pretty popular in England and some other European countires.
Here is the local track info www.fastfridays.com
