That was a fun night, perfect weather, Geo Roeder did a hell of a job keeping the dust down and the stands were full. We need more flat track races like that in Ohio.
Thank you! Interesting idea, what kind of stuff would you like to see in a video like that? This bike is a stock frame that has been deraked. Motor has been punched out to 540cc and I'm sure it has a few other things done to it. I don't own this bike, I race it once a year at Wauseon for Boyd Racing.
@@travismiller8058 I'll try to put something like that together next time I'm around the bike, might be a year from now though unfortunately. But I do have a bmw f800 flat track bike here I might do the style video you're suggesting at some point.
The modern day singles you're talking about are called DTX bikes, dirt track cross. You use a bike not meant for flat track and convert it to flat track while using the stock frame. The bike I'm riding in this video is a sr500 with a stock frame, so it is technically also a DTX bike :)
Awesome vid, gr8 start, gr8 ride!
Thank you!
I miss that so much . Started in 1990 till two years ago. Makes me want to get a bike again
Get one!
I’m so happy to see someone got GoPro footage of the event! I knew someone had a helmet but it was a hell of a race day
I'm not the only one, I saw many gopros out there. I seen someone else posted their footage already also!

Best weather they had for this race in years, no rain, and not blistering hot. Track was fantastic as always.
what a holeshot!
Thank you
Great ride, way to make a comeback from your heat race!
Thanks a ton!
Great start! You should do a video on the bike itself

these were true flat track bikes not like the motocross bikes with flat track tires like the modern day singles are

@@TurnLeftMotorsports I hope that's not the SR500 I owned. That was a decent little street bike.
@@rcnelson There were a ton made so chances are slim
Vintage racing with brakes?
Yes this class has brakes, but I don't typically ever touch them at this track
