2023 American Flat Track Racing Schedule Announced A MA Pro Racing announced an 18-round provisional schedule for the 2023 Progres- sive American Flat Track season boasting venues historic and new. "We've consolidated the 2023 Progressive AFT schedule into motorcycle riding season and worked hard to bring events back to major metropolitan markets and motorcycle rallies," said Gene Crouch, Chief Operating Officer of AMA Pro Racing. "The venues and dates on the 2023 schedule have been carefully selected to minimize the potential for weather and deliver great rac- ing for fans from coast-to-coast." There will be no more than three weeks between any two rounds, a gap which occurs just twice all season long. Featuring five miles, five half- miles, four short tracks, three TTs, (and one event still to be announced), the '23 schedule is also intriguing in the cadence of events. The ordering of track types presents increased op- portunity for dynamic champion- ship battles, encouraging win streaks and comebacks alike, says AFT. All four STs take place in the opening six races, while the three TTs will take place in a span of 13 days near the con- clusion of the season, with the half-miles and miles divided up throughout the campaign. New stops on the circuit in- clude, Senoia, Georgia; Ventura, California; and Bridgeport, New Jersey.
