Well, forward to 2016. The AMA is coming back in the form of a mile flattrack at the horse race track at Remington Park.
It will be called the OKCmile and I, for one, am very excited. I've already purchased my tickets.
I really miss this event as we all grew up attending and racing in flattrack back in the 60s and 70s.
The website is okcmile dot com for anybody that's interested.
(I don't have any connection to the race promos)
I've only been once to a flattrack and it was regional level arena racing. Still a lot of fun to watch, but seeing that at a mile track with the pros would be amazing.
It would be cool if there was something like this here in Texas. I'd drive to Dllas, Houston, or San Antonio to see that. There is a large horse track outside of San Antonio that might be a good option.
