    Please bring this incredible exciting racing to Boise,Idaho. For the last 4 years we’ve had a vacant 1 mile oval that was used for horse racing at the fairgrounds. It has grandstands, lights and is still in good condition. The horse racing was stopped because they were racing the horses in extreme heat in the middle of the day in the dead of summer and they were dying. The board of supervisors for the city of Garden City does not know what to do with this facility. They were going to sell it to developers for housing but the residents said no, make it into something. We have almost a million people in the valley now with not a lot of things to do. If you put this on the schedule for 2025 it would sell out in 24 hours. People would love to see this exciting racing on a dirt mile and this would draw a huge crowd.

    I agree with a couple of comments on here. Sheheen is the best and it's impossible to find coverage of flat track on TV. I think that at this track they need to heat race down to a smaller contingent of racers for the feature. The track is to small for the racers to find a way around a wreck. I've never been to a super twins race but they're incredible!

    Looks like there was good traction. Those parallel twins were hooking up and flying

    Ralph Sheheen is one of the best announcers in all of motorsports.

    I remember going down there in the 70s and the track was located right by a big area that was referred to as Hobo Junction

      Hobo Jungle. The bums USED to live in the river bottom next to the fairgrounds, now they're just everywhere.

    Nice racing! But these AFT Highlights are super hard to find! It is like someone is intentionally trying to kill the sport.

    Not a bad track setup, but those outside walls look a little close for bike racing.

      Yeah, and I noticed that quite a few riders lifted the front wheel out of Turn 4 and were then into the wall. Yikes.

    We need an AFT only package. I have no interest in anything else on Flo, which makes it pricey for a single sport.

      And before anyone jumps on me. I have no problem with paying, and I did subscribe. Nothing is free and they have to make money. Yes, I know.

    To many bikes for such a small track , That's why speedway only allows 4 bikes per race , no brakes !

    Sweet track, it looks like fun to ride.... But not with those guys - they ride hard. ;-)

    I hope everyone was OK after that melee. Too bad Ralph Shaheen can't convey enthusiasm without screaming the whole race, I'll be glad when he retires.

    I love the flgger right out on the track in pants and shirt. I this was nascar he would look like the dough boy with helmet,fire suit in a tower 30’ above the track.

      Man, imagine comparing bikes that are 500ish pounds all up with rider moving at 100ish MPH max on miles, with 3200lb cars moving at easily over 100mph. That's a grapefruit to grapes comparison.
      If you've paid attention to Nascar in the last decade, you'd know precisely what those cars can do when they get into catch fencing and why those flag towers are so high up.
