Some more Maryland motorcycle history for you. Record set in 1978. By my man Arno St.Denis. Ever heard of routs cycle? Arno was a machinist for sunny and helped him get bikes ready for racing, Sunny would let Arno run the bike in heat races at big events without worry because there was no one even close to his times. Well as time went on Arno eventually would run better times than the boss. After routs closed Arno kept on racing and kept his title as the fastest.!

2011-12-20T17:36:00.000-05:00

Man indoor Flattrack is so cool. I mean cold! It was seriously very very cold, like low 30's, but this year we only got 2 race dAys so we had to make it count. A few vintage bikes chillin out in the pits. And the pw50's. 4-6 year olds. Little guys got balls bigger than some of my friends!
** People to watch.. Jason 30s isennock. He swept all the races he was in. All the heat races and All the mains. Last year he placed 4th in the AMA 450 singles. Come spring im sure he is going to be Killing it again!
