DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Sept. 19, 2018) – American Flat Track is pleased to announce that Indian Motorcycle factory rider Brad ‘The Bullet’ Baker will be Grand Marshal for the Indian Motorcycle Minnesota Mile at Canterbury Park on September 29.
Baker, who was injured in July and who’s been focused on his rehabilitation ever since, made his first post-injury race-day appearance at the Springfield Mile II in early September and thrilled the paddock and fans. His scheduled appearance at Canterbury Park as Grand Marshal in Indian Motorcycle’s back yard is sure to be thoroughly anticipated and appreciated.

“It’s an honor to be the Grand Marshal of the Indian Motorcycle Minnesota Mile,” said Baker. “Minnesota has been a second home to me during the last year, as I’ve been staying there with the Anderson family to train for the season. Indian Motorcycle is also from Minnesota, and it makes me happy that I can be there to represent them. The accident that changed my life happened there only nine weeks ago so it will be difficult; but nonetheless it’s a proud moment for me to be able to return.”

“We are extremely excited to have Brad join us as the Grand Marshal for the Indian Motorcycle Minnesota Mile,” said Cameron Gray, COO of AFT Events. “Brad was the first rider I connected with and he helped us to promote our first AFTE event. We are super pumped about him attending and his continued involvement with the American Flat Track community."

American Flat Track recently crowned national champions in its AFT Twins presented by Vance & Hines and AFT Singles classes – Jared Mees and Dan Bromley, respectively – but the penultimate round on Canterbury Park’s challenging Mile course will undoubtedly generate hard-core action. There’s also a Friday night Industry Party, live music Saturday by Arch Allies (specializing in the music of Journey, Def Leppard, Boston, Styx and REO Speedwagon), the percussion perfection of the Minnesota Vikings Skol Line – the official drum line of the NFL’s Purple People Eaters – and much more for fans and family alike.

Tickets for the 2018 Indian Motorcycle Minnesota Mile at Canterbury Park in Shakopee, MN (a suburb of Minneapolis) start at just $35, with indoor and outdoor reserved seating going for just $45. There’s also an exclusive VIP Experience available, though be quick as tickets are going fast. Ticket options can be accessed here: http://www.canterburypark.com/events/ama-racing/ Look for additional details about this penultimate AFT event in the coming days.

2018 Lake Cachuma British Bike Rally

Hello Flat Track Race Fans & supporters, Although this comes a bit late, it comes with much gratitude for your continued support of Dan Rouits endeavor to keep the roots/history of flat track alive for us and for future generations. Without your tireless physical & financial help, keeping all the Museums memorabilia and assets in one place to enjoy would be impossible.

Both gatherings are in loving memory/tribute to Danny Rouit and his life and love of the people and machines involved with flat track racing.
I have to apologize to some of our most generous supporters that I failed to include on this years T-Shirts! Brian Bergen DBA B&M Transmissions, Jerry Turner DBA Turners Auto Wrecking, Scott Ellis DBA Ellis Construction just to name a few, plus any others I left out! Please contact me, Kathy Rouit, by phone or drop me a note to include you on next years shirt! These shoes of Dannys are impossible to fill, but we have to give it our best shot for his sake! This is what he wanted!
Sincerely with Love, Kathy

He's got one hell of a motorcycle collection — and one hell of a life story to go with it

Tom White had a plan.
The motorcycle entrepreneur was going to sell his multimillion-dollar parts company, buy a horse ranch on the Central Coast and retire to live the good life.
Fate had something else in store for him.
In 1997, his then-teenage son Bradley had a near-fatal motorcycle accident that left him blind and a quadriplegic. A few years later, his wife, Dani, suffered a series of brain seizures. She needed ongoing medical care, too.
