Crossover post from the 2-stroke blog. Race schedule notification and wicked little DT1 250 Flat Tracker Care of Don Miller and Metro Racing!

Don Miller from Metro Racing sends in this beauty that he’ll be campaigning at Daytona in a little more than a week.  You can see an earlier pic of the bike HERE from a previous post.

He Writes:

Hey Steve;
Haven’t had any 2 stroke stuff to send lately. Here’s something that may interest your readers.

My Sonic Weld, hard tail, Brakeless, DT1 250 Yamaha all ready for the new AMA Vintage Flat Track season opener at the Daytona Motor Speedways new short track on Feb 28th. If you are down there for bike week. Make sure you stop by! Seeing all these old flat trackers out on the track will be worth the trip. Racing starts at 11:00am on Sunday. Followed by an awesome amateur flat track program.

See you at the races,Don

Thanks again for the picture and for the heads up on those vintage Flat Track dates!  I’ll try and make it down for sure!

Radical Vincent. Is it industrial art or is it industrial pornography?

The old adage of “I know it when I see it” still applies I suppose…

 
 

Really cool XS650 vintage Motocrosser.

I’m sure torque is NOT a problem with this bike! Must be a blast to ride.

 
  
 

Daytona is almost here!

Yeah I know that DMG is screwing it all up AND that some of those transporters won’t even be attending this year AND that it’s more expensive than ever to go vintage racing (March 1’st and 2nd by the way) AND AND AND…. but don’t let that stop you. the weather should be outstanding and lord knows we all need a break.

 
  
  
 

The versatile XS650 as a Roadracer.

There’s not much these bikes haven’t been turned into. this is just a stunning roadrace build.

The french have a racing series called the Guidon D’or. Wow it looks fun.

This looks to be an offshoot of the 70’s wide world of sports “Superbikes” events that pitted racers from all different disciplines on one track that combined road and dirt.
