Outdoor Flat Track racing in Spokane WA.
Operating as usual
Our indoor is cancelled for December. Letās hope we can all race in January. Make sure youāre following Spokane Flat Track so you can get the updates as theyāre posted.
It breaks our hearts to report we'll have to delay the start of the winter indoor series again, due to the shut down provisions. Hope to see everyone in 2021. Remaining race dates as of right now:
1/9
1/16
3/13
Still with hopes to add in more dates for February and March. Stay tuned, and keep it rubber side down.

Hey everyone,
We know it's been quiet, and everyone is anxiously waiting for some race dates to put on their calendars. With all of these Covid restrictions, having events at the county property has been a major challenge. Here are the current date we have saved with the fairgrounds:
12-19
1-9
1-16
3-13
May be able to add some dates in February and March. But of course with the latest state mandate, we may need to delay the December race. We really miss seeing everyone out at the track. Please stay tuned as we figure this out. We're not trying to keep anyone in the dark, it's just been a challenge to nail anything down with the ever changing pandemic scenery.
Best wishes to you all, and hope to see you soon.

Good Mornin'
I just wanted to reach out and let you all know that the track is in-between ownership/promoter at this time. While the changing of the guard gets worked out, I got some info passed on to me about the year end standings for this last summer season! Take a look and let me know if anything looks amiss or names are misspelled.

*Classes raced in 2019: In 2019 I raced a lot of 450 am and Open am classes, along with a few Pro classes here and there.
*Goals for the 2020 season: My goals for 2020 are to be super consistent at the Amateur Nationals and win the Nicky Hayden Horizon Award, coming up in just under 14 days!
*Favorite track youāve raced: Favorite track is Greenville Ohio 1/2 mile, but Sacramento Mile is a close second!
*Reason behind your number: 43 was one of dads numbers and it was on my first bike.
*Favorite racing memory/highlight: My favorite memory is winning my first Amateur National Championship in DuQuoin Illinois on 85cc!
*Favorite thing about racing flat track: Favorite things about flat track would have to be the speed! But a close second is hanging out with friends at the trackš¤
*Favorite thing about Spokane Speedway: Best part of Spokane speedway is the pea gravel, especially when itās watered and prepped deep up high!
*What Hobbies do you have besides racing: My favorite thing to do when Iām off the bike is fish! No matter if itās bass trout or bluegill, Iām downš£
Todays rider bio is of a staple of Spokane Speedway. Youll see this kid at every race and every race he continues to improve and get faster!Jaden Kennedy! He has moved into the Open Pro class this season and im sure will be battling for wins in the near future. Heres some more information about the young racer.
age 15
Favorite Motorcycle: KX450F
Classes raced in 2019: Open Am, Pro Am, and Pro class at the indoor
Goals for 2020 season: Running in the Pro class and being consistent, along with going to Amateur Nationals in Plymouth, IN
Favorite track you've raced: Salem, OR (sorry Spokane Speedway)
Reason behind your race number: my Grandpaās birthday
Favorite race memory: At Spokane Speedway, it has to be when I was on my 65 and rode with just Wyatt Maguire for hour(s) after a race one night. Oh what I would give to do that now! Of course more recently, it was my road trip and race at Thunder on the Mountain 3, in Travelers Rest, South Carolina

Todays rider bio is the leader of one of the all-star families of the northwest. It is the one and only Jeff Hiatt coming in hot with one of the best bios weāve received yet.
*Age: 52
*Favorite motorcycle: Wood-Rotax 676cc and my Honda 450
*Classes raced in 2019: plus 50
*Goals for the 2020 season: To support my families passion of racing motorcycle's and to be able to give them my knowledge and the "tools" of the trade to have successful result's.
*Favorite track youāve raced: I think every track has their uniqueness. I like a track that challenges a rider in their ability to ride a motorcycle. I really enjoyed the track at this years One Show! When I raced Peoria "back in the day" I sucked but it was one of the coolest tracks and venues on the GNC circuit.
*Reason behind your number: I was always into sixes. My amateur # was 86. My Pro-Am # was 66H, My Junior # was 6w, My first year of being an Expert GNC rider my number was 16w.
*Favorite racing memory/highlight: Oh man! I have so many but earning that National number in my 2nd year being a AMA Expert GNC rider is by far the greatest accomplishment. I poured sweat and blood that year into my racing program and I had a lot a help from other's that made that dream happen! National #55 in 1995. Once the AMA scene left the NW and Pace Formula USA came along to the west coast just by coincidence I was ranked 55th in points at the end of that series in the early 2000's. Again the AMA series disappeared and so did Formula USA from the NW, I was nearing the end of my Pro racing career but wasn't quite done traveling and I had one other goal. I traveled up and down the West Coast racing the Open Pro class for the Gene Romero series (WCFTS) and at the end of 2006 I was ranked 4th in points on the West Coast that consisted of 3 different states.
*Favorite thing about racing flat track: The People! The racer's, the families, the promotors..... all of it! After my near death injury in 2017, I knew I just couldn't walk away from a sport that truly made who I am today despite what other's thought or had opinions on.
*Favorite thing about Spokane Speedway: The atmosphere, the track surface, I have always enjoyed the Eastside. I like the low key have fun mentality.
*What Hobbies do you have besides racing: Haha...ā¦.. I am absolutely a fishing fanatic! When I'm not twisting the throttle you can find me on our boat fishing! I am a outdoors person by heart and I love camping, snowboarding, bicycling, and the beach. Last fall I got into doing these 5k runs and I had big plans on this next challenge and venture before the Covid-19 hit. I guess that's another big highlight of mine that I did win a 5k race in the old man class!

Join us in 1 weeks for rounds 2&3 at spokane speedway for our first double header of the year. Share this post for $5 off your gate fee.
Results from last last Saturday will be posted soon.
We would like to thank everyone that joined us for our first event last night. It was amazing how many people showed up to enjoy some flat track racing. The rejuvenated track surface provided many great bar to bar races with multiple racing lines.
The big winner was Spokaneās own Wyatt Anderson topping the other 21 rider Open Pro field, taking home close to $600 with the added win bonus from Morgan Roofing & Repair LLC
I would also like to thank some of the people who helped make this possible Empire Cycle, Mike's Powersport Supply, Mika Metals, Rocket Red Racing, Precision Excavating, and Number 8 Wire Motorcycles LLC.
All of this wouldnt have been possible without my team that worked tirelessly to make the event go as smooth as possible.
We hope to see everyone again in two week on July 11-12.
