Flat Track Fury: America's Half-Mile Heroes is the definitive story of American flat track racing-where roaring V-twins meet dirt ovals, and legends are made in the slide. Spanning over a century of history, this thrilling narrative dives into the raw beginnings of the sport at dusty county fairs, the iconic Harley vs. Indian rivalry, and the golden years of Grand National competition. It profiles racing legends like Jay Springsteen, Scott Parker, and Jared Mees, while spotlighting the machines-like the XR750 and FTR750-that became icons in their own right.
Blending rich storytelling with technical insight, the book explores the cultural impact of flat track on music, style, and motorcycle identity. From underdog heroes to modern-day gladiators, Flat Track Fury captures the passion, grit, and revival of a uniquely American motorsport. Whether you're a lifelong fan or a curious newcomer, this book brings the thunder, the dust, and the glory of flat track racing to life.
