Wayne Rainey attends our Vintage Flat Track Day

More than 100 people attended our Vintage Flat Track Day at Moto Talbott. The event included appearances by some of our most famous local racers, including three-time world champion Wayne Rainey, AMA Hall of Fame rider Don Castro, and former Honda factory rider Jeff Haney. The parking lot was full of great sideways sliders of the past, made by Honda, Yamaha, Bultaco, Triumph, and other marques. Hope you got a chance to attend. Thanks everyone for coming out!
