Flat track is the oldest form of motorcycle racing in the U.S., on dirt tracks, stretching back to the early 1900s. The sport, rooted in the country's heartland, is now showing signs of broader appeal, even in America's crowded sports landscape.

There are even metric bikes dominating the sport now. Not the same but still fun to watch.

Only in the 450 class. The unlimited is currently dominated bt Indian. I attended my first this year at Lexington's Red Mile Race Track. Pretty amazing to watch the big bikes hit 140 mph on the straights.
