About AMA Pro Flat Track
AMA Pro Racing sanctions many disciplines of
motorcycle racing, but the oldest and most
traditional is flat track - sometimes referred
to as “dirt track” racing. While the roots of
flat track racing date back to the early 1900’s,
it wasn’t until post-World War II that the
sport evolved into its current modern structure, a uniquely American type of motorcycle
racing. Riders finesse their machines sideways through the turns, just inches apart
from each other, at speeds over 130 mph. In
short, AMA Pro Flat Track provides one of the
most thrilling spectacles in motorsports.
