Michigan Flat Tracker Showed His Skills on the Pavement
In this week’s Throwback we dial back the clock 21 years to October of 2003 and see the Formula USA Sportbike race at Daytona International Speedway. This photo shows a grouping of talented riders in that weekend’s Formula USA Sportbike race. That’s flat tracker Nick Cummings (No. 69) leading a pack that includes Scott Harwell (No. 2), Mike Ciccotto (directly behind Cummings), Matt Wait (behind Ciccotto), Blake Young (No. 671) and Shawn Conrad (in black leathers). Cummings was just coming off a second-place finish in the Formula USA National Dirt Track at the Del Mar Mile a couple of weeks earlier and made a smooth transition to the pavement at Daytona.
