Just left there it was a great show every one did a great job the the place ran like a watch
What a race hell yea!!
If you never went to a flat track race, I’m telling you to go. How they go into the turns is amazing
Love the racing surface, and the resultant racing....
most exiting of all motor racing dirt track ballet!
Live broadcast showed an unconscious rider, stiff as a board. Took a while to get him loaded up. Everyone (Flo, AFT) acts like the rider never existed.
I heard that he is talking and moving. I was pretty shook by that one.
Yeah man that was a bad one I was in the grand stands. Prayers go out to him
One reason he was stiff as a board was the airbag system in the suit. But I agree, crazy crash. I was at the track and heard he was alert and transported to a local hospital.
I shit you not I just watched that live on TV and my first thought was "did I just watch a mf die on live tv?"
Some dirty riding
Saathoff drifted up trying to keep pace with koop. Racing deal
@@roastum1usa206 I thought it very tight racing, but may have missed a bad deal. Once in Practice, a friend blindsided me. we went crashing, falling, tumbling out of the turn. WE got up laughing and dusted off. I left his tire marks on my helmet for the time being. Then I turned on my Gas valve, so we could race each other some more... LOL. Thats how it usually works, unless you are being beaten by the fantastic Mees.
Y'all in Frozen places need to try Ice racing Motorcycles. At full throttle, We blew all racing snow mobiles off the ice, lapping their field every 3 or 4 laps at Indian lake, on the 1/4 mile Oval. On a 2.5-mile, Unlimited hydroplane lake course, in Dayton Ohio. we caused a traffic jam on the highway along the Backstretch (Rt 4), ALMOST DOUBLING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC SPEEDS. Try it if you get near a lake in a winter like that one, and you need to Ride like we needed to in January, 1970s /at 20 degrees and Racing. ... lol. It was worth a little frost bite. A State Trooper asked us Nice to quit for traffic safety on the Highway above, so we drove to Indian Lake, next time. I just Realized, that is how Meese does it.... Practicing on Ice. His wife and Kids don't even know. Don't let anyone in AFT know that
aggressive racing is what it is its all in the game .
Was the rider who got hit ok?
I heard from someone close to it that he is talking and moving
@@Hustler9g WOW... that's great news, but that was a brain injury for sure.
Didn’t look good and the way he was stiff and froze in that position. Prayers for him and his family.
Someone tell me what’s going on with #52 .. ? Slow bike ?
Sammy is the man! 69, dude!
7:45 Was that guy ok?
Apparently so I heard from a close source he is talking and moving
What happened to that rider? That looked BAD. Come on Flo... don't ignore that poor guy.
I heard from someone close to it that he was talking and moving that night
WERE the Guy's in the wreck ok ???
It says a lot about AFT that a part time rider on a 50 year old Harley finishes on the podium.
You mean it shows a lot about Sammy Halberts' abilities on a short track, don't you?
@@rickbagwell1229 Yes, but think about using a 1971 Yamaha 250 in Pro Supercross or a 1971 Yamaha TZ 750 in today's Superbike class or any simile you can imagine. AFT is frozen in 1977 when the AMA banned multi cylinder engines. I'm waiting for someone to get on the podium on a Yamaha XS-650. Norton 750 or 1971 750 Triumph Bonneville.
@kz1000st1 I agree that AFT isn't a hot bed of modern innovations. For me, that's a big part of the appeal. I witnessed Kenny Roberts race the TZ750 at the San Jose mile back in the day. You can only use so much horsepower on a dirt track. Kenny said it best when he said "you don't pay me enough to race that bike." Keep AFT pure and raw. No anti lock brakes or traction control just talent and guts.
@@rickbagwell1229 There are a lot of people who will agree with you but the problem is that since only a small number compete interest by factories and people is also small. Look at the massive crowds at Supercross/Motocross and large number of competitors. Heats at a Supercross involve 20 competitors in two heats from who knows how many to get through Timed Qualifying.
Plus in this age of better frames, suspension and electrics a multi cylinder engine can be tamed to put out usable horsepower. It's not 1977 when Roberts crapped his pants on the TZ 750. Nobody paid attention to Flat Track at all until Bryan Smith began kicking Harley's butts with a dual overhead cam, four valved screaming 650 (?) Kawasaki. Mees Indian is winning because he has factory backing and who knows what advantages in ECU Programming/mechanical tricks in his bike. That's not pure racing anymore. It's big bucks triumphing.
7:50 FENCING RESPONSE (the arms!), that's some very real brain damage
I am a 16 year/ retired Cardiopulmonary Practitioner. We beathed for the brain injured, like that may have been. That was a classic fencing posture, victim unconscious to the world Mr Arnetts. Good eye, so sad...
@@rodneycaupp5962 - Been watching racing and combat sports since I was like 6 (I'm 32 now), you learn some stuff
I thought these clips were to inform us. What happened to the hurt rider. Poor coverage.
cfyt
Sammy needs to go to the gym !
Meet riding dirty
The idea of putting 20 riders on a 1/4 mile short track is ridiculous, lapped riders are affecting the outcome of the race. What the announcer failed to recognize was Tome Drane was restarting after the crash in 18th place and finished in 6th. The most amazing race of the night was the Singles LCQ when some young rider found the "highline" worked and coming from 4th place start started passing everyone to win his race. The crowd was roaring for him. Racers who were watching that saw what he was doing and the "high line" was working.
Nice catch... I can only image how many Riders changed lines, and tire pressure, to go to the highline for the next races. Why so many short tracks in AFT this year. That is at least a Big 3/8 mile track. Race 1/2 mile and above tracks, with at least a couple of TT tracks, with shade trees on the back stretch where the jump is UNITE NATIONS stay out of our CO2 sports. Let America ROAR, at high speed. (Add a winter race on Ice in Minnesota... televised for warmth).
Doesn't the person that caused the crash go to the tail? Why did Saathoff get too restart in second?? No rules = dirty riding
Flo, we hate accidents, and we love the riders. No Subscribe. because you ignored our need to know how those downed riders are doing. 10 seconds would have been enough. No Subscribe. Hells Bell, 5 seconds to say something but you opted out on us.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
