A motorcycle hurling down a dirt track on the plus side of one hundred and thirty miles per hour, then pitching it sideways into a corner without lifting off the throttle is quite the spectacle. Not long ago that scene played out over and over again at Remington Park in the OKC Adventure zone when the American Flat Track (AFT) national series paid a visit to Oklahoma.

Flat track racing is Americas oldest form of motorcycle racing. From 1910 to 1931, Board Track racing was all the rage across the country but it was extremely dangerous for the racers. By 1932 Board Tracks were being phased out in favor of holding races on Dirt Tracks. In particular, Horse Racing tracks. By the late ‘40s and early ‘50s the AMA (American Motorcyclist Association) began organizing National Championships for Flat Track racing.

The AFT series made its second appearance at Remington Park in three years. The event drew a sizable crowd thanks to easing Covid restrictions. People were definitely glad to get out cheer on the racers. This round of the series was a double header, so there was racing both Friday and Saturday night. The crowd was a good mix between Harley and Indian enthusiasts. The action didn’t dissapoint.
