X Games Harley-Davidson Flat-Track
X Games Harley-Davidson Flat-Track racing was an event for the ESPN Summer X Games held in Austin, Texas, first held on June 4, 2015.[1][2] Flat-Track racing will return to X Games for 2016 in Austin on Thursday, June 2, 2016.[3]
The 2015 event had a very rough track due to torrential rains, but was still very well received by the public and press[4]
Competition Rules
The 2015 event utilized AMA Pro Flat Track GNC1 equipment rules as they apply to twin-cylinder motorcycles.[5] Differing from standard AMA rules were the use of a motocross-style starting gate and the size of the track was considerably smaller than is usually used for the twin-cylinder motorcycles (normally reserved for use on half-mile and mile tracks).
