Flat Track Racing Mega Thread - INCLUDES SPOILERS!

I'm reading reports on social media that Davis Fisher will join Brad Baker on the factory Harley Davidson team for 2016. Really big news. HD spending more money in the paddock. Add in Kawasaki finally giving real sponsorship to Bryan Smith last year, Yamaha's interest and the potential of the recently announced Indian project, this is all positive news for AMA Pro Flat Track.

That's great news! If we enter a new golden age of flat track, much of the thanks will have to go to the Spanish.
 
What the Hun said.

The Brits already have a decent FT community. Teenager Oliver Brindley was very fast at the Las Vegas finale in the GNC2 class. He's entered at Daytona, GNC2 #24I.



One more day.

Just in case anyone doesn't know. For each AMA Pro Flat Track event, you can watch all the practices, qualifying, heats, semis and main events live online for FREE at http://www.fanschoice.tv
 
Daytona always gets a good turnout but this year is crazy. 55 riders entered in CNC1 and 84 riders in GNC2. Those are big numbers.
 
watching the Hooligans practice is somewhat scary......

Roland Sands is quickest, natch
 
WTF FansChoice where did you go?

EDIT All is forgiven if you get stay on through the main event.
