Racing sportsters isnt new, Ben and Eric Bostrom got their start in it back in the early 90s, but I never got much out of watching them.. Give me ten of anything prepped the same and I can have fun racing them, they just arent all that fun to watch...

It is a "flat track" replica, after all. I like the bike, I really do. I ALMOST bought one last summer. But, now I'm just bitter.

So they announce the race series the day before the series starts.

Way to help out Joe Privateer, AMA.

Well to make it interesting, since we have all seen them raced as dirt track bikes and prepped out and roadraced before, they need to make it a 'supertracker' series, where they take the same bike and dirt oval it one weekend, roadrace it the next, motard track it the next TT style, then total the points at the end. With limited mods to focus on each style it would really take a hell of a rider to survive and win! A true champ!
