Wauseon vintage Flattrack 70's Singles Main 7/19/24

Helmet cam footage from Wauseon. Riding the Boyd Racing #110f Yamaha SR500(Bright Yellow). Fuel delivery issue in the heat put me on the third row where I had probably one of the best holeshots of my life. Super fun race!

I miss that so much . Started in 1990 till two years ago. Makes me want to get a bike again

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

Get one!

[@Dale-w9c]

what a holeshot!

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

Thank you

[@Stinkymens]

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

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

I'm not the only one, I saw many gopros out there. I seen someone else posted their footage already also!

[@joewahrerMotorcycleMan]

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.

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

Best weather they had for this race in years, no rain, and not blistering hot. Track was fantastic as always.

[@travismiller8058]

Great start! You should do a video on the bike itself

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

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.

@TurnLeftMotorsports anything really, full details, I'm a nerd that loves tech video's and racing

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

@@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.

Great ride, way to make a comeback from your heat race!

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

Thanks a ton!

[@charlesross1682]

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

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

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 :)
