Didn't someone setup a flattrack racing school in Spain? Mamola or Roberts? I would think they could hold their own in a race. Are they racing any 'mericans? David
Curious, in your opinion, what is it about any if those world champions who grew up dirt tracking tells you they aren't anywhere near as good as a few of our dirt trackers?
If the best of the full time riders that we have to offer cannot beat Baker, I doubt the Spanish part-timers can.
I had only heard Merl was going. Baker changes it a bit. But the best motorcycle riders in the world on their bikes on their track, I wouldn't expect them to go toooo quietly.
I know…do you think if Nicky was healthy, would he get an invite? How would Nicky fare showing up at an AMA Pro flat track race? I'm thinking he would do well.
Can't say for sure, but I would hope so. Nicky would be a threat at any AMA event he would show up at...JMO
Merle and his brother took their 450's for a few laps at Colin's boot camp when I was there....Frankly, I didn't really appreciate flat track until I saw them go at it. I wish we could watch the Spanish flat track races!
Sorry to burst anyone's bubble but Scherb won't be racing the same class as those dudes. Premier class is only for active MotoGP (any class) racers.
