PICKERINGTON, Ohio — One of the biggest weekends in motorcycling — Daytona Bike Week — will include several opportunities for AMA amateur dirt-track racers to compete in half-mile and short-track events, including the Daytona Flat Track limestone oval, March 8-12 in Georgia and Florida. In addition to events in the AMA All-Star Flat Track National Championship Series, the week will feature AMA Amateur Dirt-Track Holeshot races and rounds of the AMA Vintage Dirt Track National Championship Series. In all, youth, vet/senior, the next generation’s stars and vintage racers will line up to compete during one of amateur dirt track’s biggest weekends. “Motorcyclists from all disciplines converge on Daytona Bike Week for good reason: In early March, this is racing central,” said AMA Track Racing Manager Ken Saillant. “Dirt track is no exception, and we’re looking forward to kicking off the season with some great racing at one of the country’s most historic locations for motorcycle competition.” Promoters Steve Nace of Steve Nace Racing and Dave Joiner of Fast Fridays are working with the AMA to ensure the AMA amateur dirt-track events are run smoothly and provide all the excitement of a national-level event, from pre-entry to the podium celebration.
