WELCOME AMERICAN FLAT TRACK
A
MA Pro Racing has proudly
announced the official re-
branding of the all-new American
Flat Track (AFT) series – former-
ly known as AMA Pro Flat Track.
The rebranding of the series co-
incides with the dawn of a new
era for America's favorite mo-
torcycle sport, which includes
a restructured class system as
well as a re-envisioning of the
event format. While holding true
to the legacy of a sport rich in
history, the modifications are
designed to provide a more un-
derstandable and exciting format
for the modern fans and make
the series more accessible to
new fans.
"We are extremely excited
about the rebranding of the se-
ries," said Michael Lock, CEO of
AMA Pro Racing. "The rejuvena-
tion of the sport will bring a new
level of excitement to racers and
fans. Everyone will be able to
easily understand what's hap-
pening on the track and will be
able to enjoy all of the action
from the moment they arrive to
when they head home. It's a
very exciting time for the sport of
professional Flat Track racing."
The restructured class system
consists of the AFT Twins class,
the premier class where the best
flat track riders in the world bat-
tle for top honors on fire-breath-
ing twins, and the AFT Singles
class, which will host dirt track
racing's stars of tomorrow.
The reclassification of the new
series is categorized in an easily
comprehensible format:
The AFT Twins class will con-
sist of twin-cylinder motorcycles
(650–999cc), which contain the
latest in motorsport technology
and will be piloted by the fastest
athletes on the dirt.
In the AFT Singles class,
the up-and-coming riders will
command the tracks on 450cc
single-cylinder motorcycles as
The AMA Pro Flat Track
Championship will now be called
American Flat Track.
