FLAT TRACK RACER DALTON GAUTHIER
P102
Interview
VOL. 56 ISSUE 14 APRIL 9, 2019 P102
Different surfaces?
Yeah. I grew up riding 100s a lot,
too, which helped me, I think. Hon-
estly, I just go out and do my best
every time I go out on the track.
How long did you do AFT
Singles?
I've been pro since 2015. My
first rookie year I did not do all
the races. I think my second year
when I won Daytona Short Track, I
did the whole season and I finished
second. That's honestly the only
season that I've done my full sea-
son. So I haven't really got to do a
bunch of full seasons yet. I'm still
learning everything. I haven't done
a full season since 2016.
So it was 2017 when you
had some really breakout
wins?
Yeah. We went three in a row.
They don't count Charlotte as a
win, but I won Charlotte, Dixie,
here, and then Daytona TT, which
was pretty special and for the
inaugural TT first time there. It was
pretty cool to win it. Got second
there two weeks ago. I think
the season has kicked off pretty
good for not racing for two years
almost. I think we're in the right
direction and I think it's going to
only get better from here.
Some of those wins you
won by a pretty good margin if
I remember right.
Yeah. I was still working with
my dad back then, so he had
my bikes working pretty well. He
knew what I wanted. I just can't
thank Estenson enough for giving
me some great bikes. It sucks
that it ended the way it did, but
THE MAIN
GOAL IS TO BE
UP IN THE TWINS
CLASS AND
RIDING WITH
THE BIG DOGS."
