Flat track racing back at the Exhibition Grounds
It will be the sounds of motors and bikes at the Battlefords Exhibition Grounds this weekend instead of the usual noises of horses and chuckwagons.
Flat track racing is making its return to the Battlefords on Saturday, Sept. 10 for motorcycle racing around the half mile track. The racing event is a joint effort from the Battlefords Agricultural Society and the Canadian Legion of Riders.
Organizer Mel Lamb said the races are coming back this year because of how well the event back in 2015 went.
“It was a resounding success. We had a good turnout of riders, but more importantly, a good spectator base. We’re hoping with the success of last year that the stands this year are absolutely full,” he said.
