Mark your calendars for March 11th when Royal Enfield's BUILD.TRAIN.RACE. program returns to American Flat Track racing. Now in its third year, Royal Enfield’s groundbreaking BTR is back at AFT and bigger than ever with 15 women leading the charge into 2022. The hook for dealers is the fact that all 30 of the “Builds” will be done in conjunction with a Royal Enfield dealer or local shop.
“The Build. Train. Race. program fosters a class of women riders in building their own unique Royal Enfield race-ready motorcycles and provides guidance and training throughout an entire race season,” explains Breeann Poland Marketing and Communications Lead – Royal Enfield Americas. With a full field of 15 riders and a total of seven rounds in the 2022 Progressive American Flat Track season, Royal Enfield BTR will have a larger presence than ever in the classic American motorcycle racing circuit.
“Following our success of the last two seasons with BTR, it only made sense to go even bigger for 2022,” claims Poland. “We continue to be overwhelmed by the support and enthusiasm from fans, sponsors and the entire American Flat Track paddock and we’re so excited to have an even larger presence this season.”
THE 2022 AFT SCHEDULE
Along with the team roster, the BTR Flat Track schedule increases in scope, as well. On the heels of last season’s four-round circuit, the BTR program will visit seven Progressive American Flat Track venues in 2022. Racing will begin at the Mission Foods Volusia Half-Mile in Barberville, Florida, March 10, for “BTR Select,” which will invite returning riders, and new participants who have their builds complete, to compete in an exhibition race. The first BTR Flat Track full-grid event will be the I-70 Half-Mile in Odessa, Missouri (April 23), after the entire field have completed their race bikes and training.
