The Triangle Motorcycle Club/Ohio Flat Track Sports Center, hosted the June edition of Amateur Club races this past weekend at their excellent facility in Harpster, Ohio. Short Track races on Saturday evening (6/10), under the lights, and Sunday afternoon, on the Half Mile Track. 149 Amateur entries from 5 different States, and 2 different countries, took to the starting line during the exciting and intense Competition.
The Triangle Motorcycle Club was elated to host one of the most spectacular International amateur competitors, Rory McQualter, from Queensland, Australia, who competed in 3 separate classes of Amateur racing. Rory has been a member of his home Club, Hatchers Raceway on the Gold Coast of Australia since he was 4 years old. He celebrated his 16th birthday the week before these events. Rory has earned 6 Australian National Amateur titles, and dozens of State titles. He is the ‘current’ 250cc/4 stroke, and 150cc/2 stroke Australian National Amateur Champion. The International diplomacy and fraternity created through Dirt Track motorcycle competition, by Rory McQulater’s participation at the Triangle Motorcycle Club dirt track racing events, bonded young riders from across the globe. This produced an exciting and intense weekend of International amateur competition.
At the Saturday Short Track, ‘Howie Doing Roger That Racing’ (HDRT) graciously donated all registration fees to all 50cc riders. and on Sunday, ‘again’ donated the registration fees for 5 riders. RBR Racing also awarded Cameron Whitcraft and Caleb Curtis with ‘The Sportsmanship Awards’ for this event. Seth Bendle, Levi Bendle, and Austin Rutherford were awarded ‘Iron Pony’ gift cards.
The next events at the Harpster, Ohio facility will be July 15 (Short Track, 5:00pm), and July 16 (Half Mile 10:00am). All spectators and fans are welcome. More information is available on the Triangle Motorcycle Club Facebook page.
