With a two day total of 188 riders, the TMC/OFTSC, in Harpster, OH, hosted the fourth event, (of six), for the 2023 Amateur Flat Track Motorcycling Competition Season. Saturday night (8/19) showcased the intensely battled ‘short track’ events, under the lights, and Sunday (8/20) was a dazzling display of speed for Half-Mile racing in ‘picture perfect’ conditions.
“I was ‘in the neighborhood‘…..” Said Peter Parker as Spider-Man, when he dropped into the Triangle Motorcycle Club Flat Track Events on Sunday ! Spiderman ‘himself’ lead a lap of any and all competitors who could ‘double up’ and ride slowly and safely, during the half-time intermission. To the thrill of kids and adults alike, needless to say. The track was packed with almost all competitors, and many spectators as willing participants.
Both event days were punctuated by intense, close, and aggressive racing. And as usual the superior TMC/OFTSC facility provided concessions and facilities for all fans and competitors. RBR Motorsports, once again, awarded the ‘Most Deserving Rider’ with the Sportsmanship award, to Hunter Browning, and two Honorable Mentions to Coy Cummins, and Jon Moore. Also, ‘Howie Doin’ Roger That’ Racing, generously, (as always !), gave back 9 entry fees to riders on Saturday, 10 riders on Sunday, and 3 spectators each day, whose names were drawn from the ‘Race Entry Giveaway’ program. It was a spectacular weekend of Amateur Competitive Flat Track Motorcycle Racing in Harpster, OH..
The September events are Saturday (short track, 5pm), Sept. 9th, Sunday (half-mile, 11am), Sept. 10th….IS THE annual Andy Heise, Memorial “PIZZA MAN RACE.” $10 entry fee for all events.
