    Just one more note , for a Newbee. All Flagmen have the very exciting job of waving the flags in the middle of the tracks, everywhere I've been.

      First raced scrambles at Sturgis in 1968. Scrambles track was at the base of the hillclimb. Raced short track, hillclimb and later motocross there as well.

      @tedecker3792 nice! Very fun town to grow up in with the rally and racing. That half mile at the fairgrounds was crazy fast!! I tore up our grass with a pw80 than moved to Colorado high desert and it was unbelievably fun to jump and trail ride. Raced supercross And motocross for 15 years and got paralyzed in 2012 and 2013 was the happiest I've been in my life after a reset and getting spiritual and really connected to nature and all! Life is wild like that! 👍🏻🤙🏻

      TT racing has been around longer than Motocross. Check out the Peoria TT .
      Henry Wiles won the Peoria TT a still-record 14 consecutive years, surpassing the 13 in a row by Chris Carr, nicknamed "Prince of Peoria."

    I thought they were building a new Flat Track in Sturgis last year but rain Delays kept if from being finished before Rally week?
    The racing looks intense. Lots of concrete barriers.. Rough in the dirt sections. Dirt on your tires would make the pavement slick.
    Some Dude cut Meese off going into a turn. Meese had nowhere to go. He ran over the rider who cut him off, but his air bag vest was inflated so I doubt it hurt him any much .
    My friend crashed with another rider in motocross the other guy got up and tried to take off, but my friends arm was caught in the other dudes rear spokes..

      Flattrack bikes have raced on pavement a lot, there was a whole series for it.
      The Superbikers were glorified flattrack bikes. Its not the first time.
      Watching guys go sideways on pavement? Why not, racing is racing. AFT trying something different is not a disaster. Sturgis enforcing a curfew and having to cancel heat races?
      That was a kind of disaster. To have a million drunks on Harleys in Sturgis for a week, but cant run a scheduled race past dark. A pussy move.

    Had I been in the Hills I surely would have gone to these races, but that's a very unusual layout for TT racing. Part dirt, part concrete? TT entails right-hand turns as well as the usual left-hand, but it appears there's only one on this track--a size constriction? The TT jump is also very mild and low (contrast Ascot) but again, maybe that's a size problem.
