You got that right those old racers I remember Gary Nixon doing a mile in Springfield. I have to give rest in peace Gary Nixon one really nice guy.

Never watched AFT before, usually only have time to keep up with NASCAR and IMSA but this stuff is pretty awesome! Great racing!

I hear you! I raced motorcycles for 20 years..road racing. I discovered flat track...now I catch every regional event I can live and have DVr 18 aft events..it fabulous! The highest hp many times does not win. Traction must be found or created..I can not get enuff of it....💪😎👍🏻

I’ve been in the flat track since the late 60s and there’s nothing to compare Springfield Mile. The fastest mile in the world

This is absolutely awesome. Great riders

Fantastic racing.

thank you

Daniels man. If he stays healthy he seems like he’s gonna win a lot of championships. I’d like to see him on a twin in a couple years. Reminds me of an early Springer. Tons of confidence.

I have been watching him since he was knee high to a grasshopper! He's a fast young man with an incredible work ethic!

Its wild seeing Springfield on the top of something

Growing up I used to love the movie documentary On Any Sunday shot in like late 60s - early 70s sense then I never knew they still did this kind of race and it looks like nearly nothing has changed how interesting.

Filmed in 70....released in 71

There is something sweet about them slipping through turn number 2 past the big white barn - the flat track version of Maison Blanche - anyway Steve MacQueen like Surtees knew about both

! Love motorcycles too much to watch this

Well over 100 mph!! Last lap speed: 100.8 😂 Fantastic race 👌

Atta boy sammy getting in the mix finally

@ 55:00 Springfield Mile II Twins class 2019 .. One very competitive exciting race

Modesto has some really good riders and they're on their way up, so look out for 54

Agreed. Thats why Marc Marquez and pretty much every other top rider in the world uses it as a discipline to improve their overall feel and control. If you've ever tried it then maybe I'll not laugh out loud at your total disrespect for the bravery and finesse these guys exhibit. 🙂
