Fuji Park Flat Track dirt bike races return Aug. 25 to Carson City
Returning for its third year, more than 250 dirt bikes will roar and race in south Carson City with riders chasing their share of a $10,000 purse at the Fuji Park Flat Track dirt bike races on Saturday, August 25 at Fuji Park.
The dirt bike extravaganza features some of the top professional flat track racers on the West Coast, organizers say.
The sport has roots “dating back to the first two-wheel speed demons in the 1920s,” according the American Motorcyclist Association. “Flat Track is widely regarded as the most prestigious and competitive form of dirt track motorcycle racing in the world. A lot has changed over the last 90 years, but the spirit of the sport remains as perhaps the truest, purest test of man and machine.”
Rider practice rounds will be Aug. 18 and Aug. 24 with the main event on Saturday, August 25. Spectator gates open at 6 p.m. Racing begins at 7:30 p.m.
Ticket are $20 for adults, $10 for children ages 6 to 12. VIP tickets are $50 and includes pit pass, food and beverage and access to the Coors party zone.
Tickets are available at www.VisitCarsonCity.com, at Pizza Factory in Carson City where there is a $5 off coupon available, CMS Carson Motorsports, Michael's Cycles, Battle Born Harley Davidson and Bodines Casino.
