6/5/2020 8:56pm He was live on FB a few minutes ago. He has been doing a lot of “training” in advance of the event. Lookup Flat Track Fite Klub on FB. Tons of smack talking from most of the riders.

6/5/2020 8:30pm I don’t now. He has never raced against this caliber of riders at a pro event, and these Astros are much different than the other bikes he has raced on the TT’s.

6/5/2020 7:59pm Being that they are on Bultaco Astros is going to the a huge equalizers for the retired guys. If any of the current riders I have ridden and Astro, it is most likely a very short amount of time, and most have never used a decompression lever. The older riders grew up on these and will certainly hold their own...

4/30/2020 5:46pm Tp4, I am guessing that you have never promoted a race, let alone a traveling series?

4/18/2020 7:20pm I had a Jemco down pipe on a 2006 CRF450 and failed tech at one of the AMA Pro Indoors. I was 117db. They told me to correct it before the heats started....
jtetchila1 Added a reply to track watering strategies?
4/18/2020 7:00pm I ran a 1/4 mile flattrack for 12 years that had a great reputation for both the surface and dust control. We would start watering on Tuesday for a Saturday race. Try to do it once it starts cooling off. This allows the water to settle into the ground rather than evaporate off of the top. We also put 16oz...

Problem in Moto is that tons of people THINK they DESERVE a deal. I don't give two shits if you're smoking everyone at your local c class race, or any class for that matter. I care how you represent yourself and said company. No normal Joe gets free stuff. People who know people get great deals. Or if you really know someone in the industry, they may be gracious to toss you an item or two because they can. I ran the rider support for my local shop for a couple years. You would not believe how ungrateful people can...

jtetchila1 Added a reply to Anyone got sponsorships here?
4/13/2020 8:30pm I have been riding flattrack and speedway for the last 15 years, but rode MX for 15 years before that. Sponsorship is hard to come by in MX. I have found that it is much different in speedway as I was able to get almost all of my airfare, hotels, entry fees and bike transport sponsored riding an indoor ice...
jtetchila1 Added a reply to Do SX/MX team owners make any $$
1/11/2020 7:39pm I have been involved in MX, Speedway, and Flattrack since about 1978. In the fall of 2018 another rider was raffling off a pretty nice Kawasaki 700 flattracker for $350/ticket. He was only selling 40 tickets and my wife told me to buy a ticket. I ended up winning the bike, and decided that we were going to put a...

12/26/2019 7:47pm Started riding in 1974, first race was 1978 or 1979. Have been fortunate to race in 37 states, and 5 countries. Never paid for a hotel or airfare!

11/21/2019 6:57pm I was the second person to ever ride a flattrack bike with their soon to be released flattrack tires and they were amazing. They don’t compare to anything on the market right now.

Dirt track 450’s have been making that much hp for over a decade.

11/19/2019 7:38pm I promoted flattrack for 12 years and it was $792/race, if you did a two day race, it was 1/2 price for day two. Had to have an ambulance on sight. Feel free to email me at Jimterchila@yahoo.com if you have any other questions.

6/23/2019 6:52pm I promote flat tack, and we use Jones Birdsong and have used them for several years. They are also AMA approved if that matters. They are very easy to work with, and do offer a lower rate for practice/clinics etc.

4/8/2019 7:03pm There is a Speedway gas station between the interstate, and Indianapolis Raceway Park/Lucas Raceway that has it at the pump for usually $7-$8 per gallon. When the drag strip is running, you can hardly get near with the drag guys filling up all of their cans for the weekend. On another note, I have a 2006 RMZ450 that I don’t...
