MN Mile Flat Track Racing

If you read the post below, I mentioned Susie and I needed to high tail it back to Shakopee. Here is the reason why. Flat track racing at Canterbury. Sweeeet. A full mile around the track. There are two different classes, singles and twins. The singles is the "entry"level bikes, single cylinder. The other class is the twins. This is the "pro" class. Both were awesome to watch and most of the races were pretty close. But hearing the twins rip around the track was really cool. This class was mostly Harley's and Ducati's. But there were a few Suzuki's and I think one Triumph. I'm not going to try to recap all the racing for you (the ama website has a full rundown) because I can't remember all the names and who passed who. All I know is that when there are 18 riders doing 100+ mph through the corners sideways it is pretty rad. They were doing 140 or so down the straights. On dirt. Usually within touching distance of each other. It's hard to describe how cool it was. Oh maybe these videos will help. The videos are from the D90. So you're only going to get mono sound but it doesn't matter. Just turn the volume up to 11 and check the 720p.
