Saturday (9/9) and Sunday (9/10), the Triangle Motorcycle Club/Ohio Flat Track Sports Center,in Harpster Ohio, hosted the 2nd Annual Andy Heise Memorial Races. In memory of one of the ‘nicest, fastest, and most gentlemanly’ riders to ever grace the T.M.C. facility. Obviously, this event absorbed an attitude of Family, Friendly, and Gracious demeanor, as is only fitting to the memory of Andy Heise.
Howie Doin’ Roger That Racing, was on scene and ‘graciously’ gave back 30+ entry fees to Amateur riders whose names were drawn. HDRT also raffled off a ‘brand new’ Kawasaki Z125, an Electric Staycic bike, and a Balance Bike. The winners were Chris Kirwan (KZ125), Wanda McNew (Stay.), and Ed Buzard (Bal. Bike).The facility and Staff were well prepared for the 2 days of Amateur Flat Track Motorcycle Competition. And racing went smoothly from Saturday afternoon, to the end of Sunday’s events, thanks to the Staff.
Especially exciting was the Memorial Race with 16 entries. Closely competed between the top 6 riders all the way to the finish line. Mrs. Ginger Heise was graciously and thankfully present as always, to award the ‘Flying 4F Pizza-Man’ Trophies, after 16 riders
exploded off the start and battled to the finish. At the checkered flag the 2nd Annual ‘A.H.M.R.’ podium finishes went to:1st Doug Davis, 2nd Mike Ashton, 3rd Justin Zeigler, 4th Dave Whitcraft.
This concluded another fabulous, and highly intense Amateur Flat Track Motorcycle Racing event at the Triangle Motorcycle Club. In Harpster, Ohio. The next and Final event of the 2023 season is the Halloween Classic on Sept. 30 (Sat./Short Track), and Oct. 1 (Sun./Half Mile). This event will feature a Pro/Am race on Sunday for the Ohio State Championship Series and a $3,000 purse for top 5 places.
Spectator Admission $10.00.. The superb cafe, and facilities will be open.
