ROUND 2 DTRA FLAT TRACK - 19th MAY AT RYE HOUSE. Entries now being taken on line at DTRA
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (May 8, 2013) – AMA Pro Racing is pleased to announce that the AMA Pro Live streaming video system will be broadcasting at all AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles events in 2013. AMA Pro Live is a live streaming video system which has been designed to put fans in the director's chair, allowing them to select from a variety of cameras located around the racetrack while monitoring live timing and scoring data and social media feeds. The online system can be accessed through a web browser from any computer, tablet or mobile device by navigating to http://www.amaprolive.com. “This is an exciting step for our sport,” said Michael Gentry, Chief Operating Officer of AMA Pro Racing. “The ability to live stream our events will help us reach a crucial demographic and provide coverage of the sport globally. We know our fans have wanted the ability to watch our races online. Our staff has worked long and hard on this system and we are proud to be able to provide live streaming to the fans this season." Initially, AMA Pro Live's implementation at AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles events will consist of two video channels alongside live timing and scoring and social media feeds, providing complete coverage from the first practice until the final checkered flag. The first channel will feature a camera mounted in the P.A. booth overlooking all of the action, and will include an audio feed of Scottie Deubler and Barry Boone providing play-by-play analysis of the racing. The second camera will be located trackside near the start-finish line, giving fans a close-up view of the day's racing activity and allowing them to hear the thunder of the motorcycles as they roar around the track. Additional channels are planned for future events, including a roaming camera in the pits and on-board cameras mounted on the motorcycles. AMA Pro Live will be live streaming all rounds on the 2013 AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles schedule. For those that can’t make it to the San Joaquin County Fairgrounds in Stockton, Calif. for this weekend's Stockton Half-Mile, this link – http://www.amaprolive.com - will grant them direct access to AMA Pro Live and allow them to watch the entire event. Live streaming of practice and qualifying is set to begin Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 3:00 p.m. EST (12:00 p.m. PST), with opening ceremonies for the main event set to begin at 10:00 p.m. EST (7:00 p.m. PST). It's just days until the stars of AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles roll out their twin-cylinder machines for the first time this season. For tickets and more information on the Stockton Half-Mile, please visit http://www.showclix.com/events/17007. ROUND 1 DTRA FLAT TRACK - 21ST APRIL AT KING'S LYNN Reigning British Flattrack Champion Aidan Collins got the defence of his title off to the best possible start at the Norfolk Arena today (21st April 2013). Collins, celebrating his 31st birthday during the action, had a great cause to party at the end of 42 heats of enthralling action in King’s Lynn.
The number one plate holder started the afternoon with two comfortable wins, kicking off his 2013 campaign with a from-the-back success in the opening round of heat races before utilising his front row grid slot to maximum effect for a second consecutive win. Tim Neave was also an opening round race winner, working his way through from the back row impressively to set down a marker early in the match. Neave, who recovered from frightful injuries sustained in a track crash last year, is undoubtedly one of the favourites for the title this season, and showed that kind of form in pursuit of first round runner-up Tim Greig. Greig was back to his best in the second round, proving why King’s Lynn was his track of choice last year as he worked his way through from the middle row to take victory.
But with a poor final round heat race, Greig ruled himself out of taking a front-row grid slot, on a baking hot day that created a slick surface and made starting vital. Tom Neave stole the final front row grid slot away from him in the third round, taking a shock win over brother Tim who in turn held Aidan Collins at bay for the entire race distance. But the number one’s ten point haul was enough to give him the first gate choice for the final, and he flew from the start and onto a tightrope of rubber that saw him cruise to his first success of the year.
There were also positive displays from Deus ex Machina rider of the day Alan Birtwistle, who finished runner-up to Aidan Collins in the heat stages but whose favoured outside blasts were unfavourable on the late-match track conditions. And Peter Boast recovered from three disappointing heat races to work his way through traffic in the final. But the final word was reserved for Collins on his birthday, taking the champagne and celebrating in style.
**Paul Scott was awarded the Ace Café Award for his efforts in the MiniBike class. Scott, who races regularly in the rookie class, got the better of Stephen Rhodes in a last lap dash to the finish to take a third and match-winning race victory. He also competed in the rookie class, but was beaten to the flag by Andrew Collinson. Vince Hurst was the outstanding winner of the restricted class, while Oliver Brindley, Ben Neave and George Hopper all made names for themselves as stars of the future with successes in the youth classes.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (March 15, 2013) – Brandon Robinson (Kawasaki KX450F/TJ Burnett Farms)tasted the sweet taste of victory for the first time in his young career tonight during the second round of action at the DAYTONA Flat Track. The Pennsylvanian acquired the lead on the second lap of the AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles main event and never let up on the throttle from then on. “My entire team just worked extremely hard to make this happen for me and I can’t be more thankful for their support,” said Robinson. “We got the setup as close to perfect as possible and everything went as smooth as we could have asked for all night. I got out front early in the main event, put in a hard 25 laps and it all paid off. My team and I have had an awesome week in general and it feels incredible to win here.” After recording an impressive fifth place finish last night, complacency obviously wasn’t an issue for Robinson tonight as he was hungry for better results and he certainly delivered. After taking the early lead from Kenny Coolbeth Jr. (Chaplin Kawasaki/Kawasaki KX450F) on the very first lap, Robinson’s main competitor of the night was Brad Baker (Honda CRF450R/Specialty Fabrication Incorporation). After fending off Baker’s valiant attempts late in the race to overtake the lead, Robinson managed to get loose on the final lap and take the checkered flag by 1.262 seconds. Baker, who finished in second-place last night, turned in another second-place effort tonight before an issue in post-race technical inspection resulted in the loss of points for the night’s main event. Robinson now sits atop the AMA Pro Grand National Expert Championship point standings and will carry that momentum into Stockton, Calif. when the stars of the series head out west for their next event. After getting knocked out of last night’s main and finishing in 17th to start the season, Bryan Smith (Honda CRF450R/Crosley Radios) rebounded quite nicely on this go-around. The Michigan native beat out 2011 Grand National Champion Jake Johnson (Honda CRF450R) to close out the podium with a third-place finish. Final results: 1st – Robinson, 2nd – Baker, 3rd – Smith, 4th – Johnson, 5th – Rush DAYTONA BEACH, Fla (March 14, 2013) – It was an uncharacteristically cold night under the lights at DAYTONA Flat Track for the AMA Pro Flat Track presented by J&P Cycles season opener. Fans witnessed Mikey Rush (Machete Energy/Honda CRF450R) capture the Grand National checkered flag in what proved to be an impressive showdown between several prominent riders. Lap 18 is what told the story in tonight’s 25 lap shootout. Brad Baker (Specialty Fabrication Incorporation/Honda CRF450R) seemed to have everything under control until that particular lap when Rush edged him out on turn four to steal the lead and surrender nothing for the final seven laps. “First of all, I just want to say that I love Daytona, this place is extremely special to me,” said Rush. “Brad made it extremely difficult for me tonight but I was lucky to make that pass late in the race and eventually stick it for the win. The feeling I have right now is incredible and I love competing against these guys.” Rush’s surgical pass of Baker on lap 18 was a game-changer and it’s safe to say that the Californian was telling the truth when he stated that Daytona is a special place to him, as his only two professional wins have come at this venue. Rush won at the Municipal Stadium circuit in Daytona back in 2007 and again here tonight. “So close but so far away,” said a discouraged Baker. “I felt him breathing down my neck and unfortunately I let him slip by. I have to give Mikey credit for running an excellent race though, he deserves it. I look forward to giving it another shot tomorrow night.” Defending 2012 AMA Pro Grand National Champion and tonight’s Dash for Cash winner Jared Mees (Montgomeryville Cycle/Honda CRF450R) got the holeshot in the main event but surrendered it immediately to Baker. However, Mees battled it out until the very end and came away with an impressive third place finish. Final results: 1st – Rush, 2nd – Baker, 3rd – Mees, 4th – Wiles, 5th - Robinson

Flattrack Sponsor and pit crew member Pete Seaton has been busy building speedway bikes with a twist, they have 450 engines MX engines mounted in! Pete has been working on this idea for a while now and under extensive testing the honda and has proved to work well. Pete's latest bike as a BMW 450 injection engine mounted in the speedway frame. Pete said' The problem with speedway is that riders are spending thousands of pounds on their engines, which are only lasting about five meetings. From my experience of flattrack, you build a 450 engine at beginning of the season, then run it all year just changing the oil a few times and that's it!'

BIRTIE'S AMERICAN TRIP

I then went to Macomb TT and got 3rd in both 450 mains and then onto Peoria shorttrack where I got 2nd in my heat race but crashed out of the main and damaged the bike too badly to make the restart. I was supposed to head to Peoria TT and Springfield ST but they were cancelled due to bad weather. All in all had a great trip. BOASTIE BAGS THE FINAL ROUND
