Look, there is “racing,” and then there is “sliding a two-wheeled rocket ship sideways on dirt at 100mph.” We are officially in the latter territory as Bike Week hits the Flat Track. Dallas Daniels is carrying the #1 plate this year, which is essentially like wearing a “Kick Me” sign if the person kicking you was riding a 750cc Yamaha.
