Do the people running XRs still need to replace the main bearings after every race weekend? That's gotta get expensive.

Fundraising link for Stevie Bonsey's medical expenses. He's a great kid from Salinas who has finished as high as 4th in the 125GP World Championship races, won indoor short track races, AMA Pro Flat Track short track and half mile nationals. He was on the podium at the Sacramento Mile this year. Bonsey is recovering from injuries sustained in a racing incident with Brad Baker at last weekend's Springfield Mile. I donated and I hope you will consider a donation.

Indian Motorcycle Racing announces historic return to AMA Pro Flat Track
They did pick a damn good man to do the development. "Multi-time AMA Grand National Champion Jared Mees will join the Indian Motorcycle Racing Team as a test rider in 2016. Mees, 30, won the AMA Grand National Twins Championship in 2009, AMA Grand National Singles Championship in 2012, the unified AMA Grand National Championship (GNC1) title in 2012, 2014 and 2015, and is current X Games gold medalist."
"The Indian Motorcycle Racing Team will contest the series with an all new and proprietary liquid-cooled Scout FTR 750cc four-valve V-Twin competition engine specifically designed for flat track and engineered into a specially built chassis."
Next year should be interesting.

Big news. The Yamaha, HD's new bike showing lots of potential and now Indian jumping in at the deep end with Mees a test rider. What a great time to be a flat track fan.

Still nothing on the AMA Pro YouTube channel but they do have the recent Mile races on the AMA Pro page at FansChoice.TV. Downside, they aren't labeled very well.

Brad Baker at Valencia's Spanish flat track inaugural
".....between the Lima Half Mile and the Charlotte Half Mile.....The American star will compete Saturday, July 9, on the Valencia quarter-mile oval and the next day in Sunday´s TT event.....
.....The just-completed oval is an exact replica of California´s famous Lodi Cycle Bowl quarter mile.....the series runs under rules basically identical to those of AMA Pro Flat Track GNC2 and on 19-inch tires supplied by Dunlop....."

Bumping for the OKCity Mile tomorrow. New venue. Will anyone beat Smith on a Mile this year?

It looks like they've started posting them this week.
What can I say? I ride a Kawasaki, so my hope is the answer will remain, "no."

I venture that Bryan'll win all/the majority of the 2016 Miles -
if these races really are defined by spec, allegedly '70-hp tire',
then builder Howerton's tuning skills become self-evident......
