FLAT TRACK 2015
A
MA Pro Racing announced 12 confirmed events
on the 2015 AMA Pro Flat Track schedule. In ad-
dition to the events listed below, AMA Pro Racing is
currently negotiating with four additional venues and
intends to announce the complete 16-race calendar in
the near future.
As a homage to the 90-year history of the sport and
the long list of Grand National Champions, the classes
that comprise AMA Pro Flat Track have been renamed
GNC1 (premier) and GNC2 (singles).
WELCOME GNC1 AND GNC2
A
MA Pro Racing
says it is going to
rename the classes in
the AMA Pro Flat Track
Series to "better reflect
the legacy of the series'
Grand National Cham-
pionship."
The series premier
class, formerly known
as the Expert division,
will be changed to
GNC1 and the support
class, formerly known
as Pro Singles, changed to GNC2.
As far as the competition goes in the Grand Na-
tional Championship, the number-one plate will still
be awarded to the top rider in the premier class—
GNC1—which includes twins for the bigger Mile and
Half-Mile tracks and single-cylinder motorcycles
for short track and
TT (Tourist Trophy)
races.
However, the se-
ries support class,
GNC2, which was
aptly named Pro
Singles in previous
seasons because
they raced single-cyl-
inder machines, will
now also race twins
"tuned to a specific
performance enve-
lope" at larger circuits, like the Springfield Mile. The
concept has already been employed at the Spring-
field Mile—as the Pro Twins class in 2014 and the
Basic Twins in 2013—and was designed to provide
a stepping-stone platform fitting for a development
class.
AMA Pro Racing has confirmed 12 rounds
of the 2015 flat track series.
