Very good video Sammy sorry you went down hard. You rode the first heat expertly. That rider hit the brakes early i thought. Hope you are ok that was a hard hit. Very cool watching you smoke the field on the Rotax. I am sure you would have won the main. But I am glad you didn’t and risk your health. Man that bike runs and handles good. 👍💪🏽🤟🏽👏👏👏👏
Really unique perspective hearing the bike owner talk about the night! Mike seems cool as hell and I’d love to see a tour of his garage with all the leathers! “It’s all fuccered up” is a great quote😂.
This is great stuff. Now I've seen Sammy breathing clean air on both his own XR750 and now the Rotax. The excellence of these fine videos may have allowed me to update my flat track education from back in the 60's. Maybe I've solved the mystery of how you guys can burn your brakes up while going 40 plus mile per hour faster than we did back then. On the XR750 it sounded to me like Sammy only touched the brake without letting up on the throttle. It seems like that with the Rotax he was riding the flywheel out of 2 and 4. I don't know if he lost "cam" from the brake action or reduction in throttle? I'm grateful for the good quality audio because without it I wouldn't have a clue and am still only making educated guess. From the second heat I gather that the big wheel just says let's keep on going!
On the traditional flat track framed bikes, its typically more comfortable to have the bars pull back closer to you, you cant scoot up on the gas tank like on a MX bike.
@@sammyhalbert cool. thanks. I knew there had to be a reason, just didn't know what it was. I've always liked flat track racing, there's just nowhere here in the southeast to watch it live. I'm glad that now with so many sports channel I can catch it somewhere.

@ For real
@ Your my favorate racer to watch and my favorite rider
Good stuff, Slammy.
Glad you are OK.
and yes, that Rotax is a freakin weapon
When Sammy is done picking his scabs, we'll start contract negotiations for a potential do-over.

Thanks, man. Glad you were entertained. I may just do that shop tour...
Haha ya hopefully no more fuccery!

Very cool flat track action👍🏻👍🏻
thanks for another great vid
"Awesome footage" Thank U....
That is gold right there!
Whqt capacity is the Rotax?
680cc !
Probably the best big bore Rotax ever built. Michaels put a ton of work in it , and it shows. Good ride Sammy.
I think you had that one in the bag dang it ...
Right, it woulda been a fun race.
I can design better Thumbnails for you in cheap price
would you like to see a sample
That arm looks like Menno after hungary 😂
Hahaha yeah it does. Scabby season
Why do you have the weird looking rounded bars? I'm sure that it must be a benefit to them but what is it? They look awkward to use.

The only “bump” was a rut/!hole in 4, on the exit.
Don’t be SLAMMIN YIURSELF!
Ya no more of that
I broke my shoulder doing the same thing
ugh highsides are the worst
