Wally Brown Racing Eyes AFT
Production Twins
W
ally Brown Racing says
it is embarking on a new
project in the upcoming year.
With support from KTM, the team
will utilize the KTM 890 Duke
platform to compete in the 2022
Progressive American Flat Track
Production Twins class.
"Several of us have profes-
sional experience in racing,"
said team owner Wally Brown."
We've designed and built vehicle
components with great success.
We look forward to applying our
knowledge and experience to
modify the KTM 890 Duke into
a competitive Production Twin.
A project like this will have its
challenges. Our group enjoys the
problem-solving process."
In their first two years of flat
track racing, Wally Brown Racing
fielded Suzuki RM-Z450s in AFT
Singles. Throughout that time,
they scored eight top-five finish-
es, three podiums and a victory.
The team will focus solely on
research, development and testing
throughout the first part of the year
and plan to debut the new race
bike at The Red Mile in Lexington,
Kentucky, in late May 2022.
A rider announcement is ex-
pected soon.
"We are grateful for the oppor-
tunity to partner with KTM," said
Brown. "As a brand that is built
on racing prowess, they have
shown that they are committed
to the sport, as well as projects
like this. Wally Brown Racing
always brings its best to the track
and we seek partners that do the
same. We've found that in KTM."
KTM Flat Track Team Manager
Chris Fillmore added, "Wally
originally approached us about
running a KTM AFT Singles
team, but after talking further
we learned of his long desire
to develop a twin. With all new
projects there is plenty to learn,
and with his level of experience
in racing, we are confident the
team will find the right path. The
KTM 890 Duke is an incred-
ible street bike, and we are very
excited to see its performance in
the sport of Flat Track this com-
ing year!"
