Wauseon vintage Flattrack 70's Singles Heat 2 7/15/23

Helmet cam footage from Wauseon. Sorry about the camera being pointed a little too far down, I misjudged the angle on it.

Bike sounds great. That lead rider had some skills, looked like you were gonna pull close to him there a couple of times. Thanks for posting. Stay gold.

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

One or two more laps I think I could have attempted a pass, but yes he was fast. Thank you!

[@KillrMillr7]

Nice Ride. Hauling some ass out there! Hope to visit this track in the next few years.

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

The track is awesome. My first flat track race was there around '08, been back almost every year since. I don't race flattrack much anymore, but I always make a point to make this race each year!

So awesome. What state is this in wish we had cool stuff like this in the north east. Everyone here is a tree hugger to the max and anything with an engine on it is from the devil lol.

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

This track is in northern Ohio. They race flattrack all across the country. There are tracks in New York that I know of. If you go to the AMA's (American Motorcyclist Association) you should be able to find your local district to find more information.

You would have won it if I hadn’t been on the back of your bike. Thanks for letting me ride along!

70's applies to the bikes or riders?😄

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

Bikes haha, the bike I'm racing here is older than the rider(me)

[@Jonathan-L]

Hi TLM, can you enlighten us about the specs of the bike please? Engine size, fuel (gasoline or methanol)? Weight of the bike?

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

Yamaha TT500, I believe it's punched out to 540cc, not sure exactly what else is done to the motor but I can tell you it's potent. Gasoline. Stock frame, deraked. I'd estimate about 250lbs on the weight.

[@Jonathan-L]

@@TurnLeftMotorsports Thank you kindly.

[@lukewood9233]

What is average speed?

[@TurnLeftMotorsports]

1/2 mile, about 29 sec lap time, if my math is right about 62mph average speed

[@lukewood9233]

​@@TurnLeftMotorsportsthanks for that and so quickly. Thanks
