Flat Track Futures Fall Classic Returns
F
or the first time in 20 years,
flat track racing was back at
the Pennsylvania Farm Show
Complex in Harrisburg, Pennsyl-
vania, November 27-29. Mission
Foods Flat Track Futures Fall
Classic was presented by Royal
Enfield and included riders from
across the U.S. and Canada
with nearly 400 entries. On the
1/10th-mile indoor short-track,
both Saturday and Sunday, riders
competed for 16 AMA Penn-
sylvania State Championships.
Classes ranged from 50cc to
Pro-Am 450.
The opening race of the Flat
Track Fall Classic was the Chris
Klinefelter Memorial Dash for
Cash. This race was made up of
the top six qualified Pro-Am 450
riders. It was an all-out battle for
four laps. AFT racer and local
Pennsylvania rider Dan Bromley
took the win over Johnny Long.
With a championship on the
line and a two-race format, it
came down to consistency for
the 450 Amateur class. In the
end, it was Wyland Seger that
took the overall title. Finishing on
the podium both nights got the
job done for Wyland.
Sunday saw Adam Renshaw
winning the Pro-Am 450 Dash for
Cash, but he fell short the night
before in the 450 Amateur main
by making a mistake, resulting in
an 11th-place finish. Saturday's
Dunlop Holeshot award winner,
Declan Bender would go onto
win the 450 Amateur main event.
Unfortunately, Bender had other
obligations and was not able
to return Sunday to attempt to
clinch the overall championship.
