Am I thinking of building a big board track to try to beat this record (with modern bike/safety gear!)? Well, I’m not not thinking about it! Then again we have too few hundred year old records held by folks named Curley, 120 mph is still really fast and it would be a lot of work & expensive so…

Last night in Lawrenceburg. All kinds of motorcycle flat track racing talent & a fantastic time. At least six AFT pros at our local track and so much fun for Skinny Inc bike night. So lucky to have this track so close to Cincinnati. Support your local race track folks or these places will disappear.

Pretty good flat track weekend this past weekend. Ran Lawrenceburg Friday night on a Speedway bike and Aidan Brown's 450 AFT bike(!) and went to the AFT Nashville race on Saturday. Great tracing and a ton of fun! If you're around Cincinnati come out this Friday at Lawrenceburg, it's great!
