What is flat track?
If you've ever had the desire to pitch a motorcycle sideways
in a corner, then accelerate through a controlled broadslide,
dirt-track racing is the place for you. Dirt track races are
run on various lengths of prepared oval tracks: short tracks,
which are less than 2,250 feet in circumference; half-miles,
measuring from 2,250 feet up to roughly five-eighths of a
mile; and miles, which as the name implies are a mile in circumference.
In addition, Tourist Trophy or TT scrambles events are held
on prepared dirt tracks including right- and left-hand turns
and a jump.
As in all types of AMA amateur racing, classes are available
for riders in different age groups and skill levels and on
a wide variety of machine types and sizes. Each year, the
amateur dirt-track season culminates with the AMA National
Championships in short-track, half-mile and TT competition.
