The 2015 Ramspur Winery Calistoga Half Mile is in full swing. The 2014 Ramspur Calistoga Half Mile was a series homerun. It didn’t take long for the phones to start ringing off the hook from all over the country. Fans wanted to talk about the racing, fellow promoters congratulations poured in, and the industry was buzzing with championship talk. Everyone expressed their delight in having the half mile back in Calistoga, and ecstatic that the plan for 2015 was afoot with the promoter’s commitment to make 2015 even better.

In 2014, after three years away from the circuit, the Calistoga Half Mile returned. What the riders found was a faster and racier track with an enthusiastic crowd hungry for racing. We delivered a racetrack that allowed the competitors to enter the turns three and four wide. The fans met past AMA Pro racers who signed autographs next to the young guns piloting the machines today. Downtown Calistoga, was host to a Riders Parade that shut down the streets for a time. The crowd on hand was awestruck at the sight to see, and you could feel the excitement mounting for the battle to come later that evening.

In 2015 there is greater interest, awareness and enthusiasm for flat track racing; the AMA Pro Flat Track series, the recent international X-Games exposure, and the history of the Calistoga Speedway. Our September competition is already receiving increased attention. Last years’ winner and bronze medal X-Games holder, Brad Baker, has clocked Fast Qualifier in the past 3 races. Bryan Smith, X-Games gold medalist, has dominated at mile tracks this year and will be determined to best his showing from last year. Both are primed and ready to bring their best equipment to the Calistoga Half Mile.

We are seeing a shift in the paddock unlike any in over 20 years. Renewed interest from industry manufacturers like Ducati, Triumph, KTM and Yamaha are giving riders varieties to challenge at a higher level. No longer are the Harley-Davidson and Kawasaki the lone steeds in the stable. This increased competitive mixture has never been greater and already three times this year has produced photo finishes at the line. All these influences will likey produce a dramatic last twins race on the AMA Pro Flat Track schedule and be the probable deciding factor in the coveted Number 1 plate.

The benefactor of this heightened competition will be the fans!

This venue was and is a definite crowd pleaser! Tickets will go on sale tomorrow, Monday, July 13th. Don’t miss your chance to witness all the action live at the Calistoga Speedway on Saturday, September 26th.
