@ I’m a 66 year old that’s been riding since I was 10. Although never a flat track racer (enduros & hare scrambles), it’s always been my favorite to spectate. Never understood why it’s never reached the height of GP or MX. I feel the talent of the riders in FT sometimes exceeds the skill of race series that pay big bucks. Frustrating seeing MX racers purses in millions for going boing-boing (yes there’s skill but…). The manufacturers are to blame as well as the management of AFT. Go into any showroom, won’t see many displays or promotions of FT, just road racing and MX. Just as soon as I win a couple million on a scratch-off, I’m calling CTR and have him buy the series and MAFTGA. Time to market red ball caps with that…
There is a line in "The Eight Laws of the Fist" from the Bubishi that says "you must strike when the opportunity presents itself." Smart move for Kody Kopp but a definite loss for AFT.
Itt's sad ATF hasn't' put together a schedule. That's a bad sign. I've been watching the decline of racing for years. Cost and viewership makes sponsorship opportunity scarce. I hope they can continue because it's always a great show.
Great analysis.
Great episode. Agree, the series is in a valley. Getting tougher to remain optimistic on AFTs management.
A schedule any day now would help but I fear that AFT is an afterthought to a lot of the premier facilities.

Exited to see what 2025 has planned for us💪
2025 Is going to be interesting to say the least.
AFT has come to a crossroad, I hope they choose the right direction 🙏
