Did anyone on here go to the flat track race at the Butler Fair in PA last Friday? I was there, a kid got LifeFlighted. I just heard from someone that the kid died. I was wondering if anyone else had news on this? :confused: :(

Wow I really hate to hear that. Hopefully someone just got their info wrong.Let me know what you find out. That track seem's alittle to large for amatuer riders to be out on racing. I have radared the quad's at stony brook and there getting over 70mph on the dog leg over 60mph on the short stretch and it's only a 1/4 mile.

I haven't heard anymore about it yet. Hoping it's wrong info...

Yes, speeds are pretty fast on that track... Something I always liked. But definitely not for amatuers and their new 450s... :( The track at Butler is a 1/2 mile oval...
