• Harley-Davidson’s very cool Jumpstart display, which allows motorcycling newbies to sit on, start and shift a full-sized motorcycle through the gears while it’s bolted firmly to a customized trailer.

• Party Giveaways*include a Nicky Hayden Arai helmet, a Vance & Hines exhaust, Dunlop Tires, K&N and Sunoco Gas gift cards, Motul Oil changes and products, race tickets and much more!

What the pros are saying:

I’m looking forward to Weedsport,” said top AFT Singles competitor Shayna Texter. “My Husqvarna FC 450 gets better every weekend, and I hear the facility is really top-notch. Should be a lot of fun.”

“Being able to race a National at a track near my hometown of Albion, NY, is really awesome,” said ex-champ and local racer Ryan Wells. “Growing up, you hear your racing heroes talk about winning a hometown race, and here’s my chance to do it at Weedsport. It’d be great to get a win in front of folks I know, so I’m plenty motivated.”

“We’re all very excited about our Friday/Saturday event combination,” said American Flat Track Chief Operations Officer Cameron Gray. “Saturday’s racing is going to be fantastic – we know that. But when you mix in the Friday night party, the music and the attractions we’ve arranged, the weekend takes on a whole new dimension. As we say at AFT Events, ‘Come for the Party and Stay for the Race!’” Remember, entrance to the Friday Night Kick Off party is free, so come enjoy!
