When American Flat Track racing kicks off during Daytona Bike Week, racers in the three classes will be going for more than $3 Million in contingency money!
“Only a few short years ago, contingency dollars available in AFT struggled to reach $200,00” notes AFT CEO Michael Lock. “This record year, with over $3,000,000 on offer is testament to how far the series has come, the confidence level the industry has in the sport and the rapidly rising status of our top performing athletes. I want to thank all the participating brands for putting money into the hands of American Flat Track racers.”
The American Flat Track Contingency Awards Program is designed to reward riders based on race results and the final championship standings, with participating brands offering cash awards, broken out by class:
$1,685,700 for AFT SuperTwins presented by Vance & Hines
$711,100 for AFT Production Twins
$729,250 for AFT Singles
As we learned last week with the addition of Royal Enfield, participating OEMs include Harley-Davidson, Honda, Husqvarna, Indian Motorcycle, Kawasaki, KTM, Suzuki and Yamaha.
Aftermarket support comes from Parts Unlimited, Arai Helmet Americas (conveniently based in Florida), Dainese, Dunlop Motorcycle Tires, Motion Pro, Inc., and Vance & Hines.
