Michael Lock is the CEO of American Flat Track. 2017 is now at mid-season and we take time to get his thoughts on the first half of the year. Recent events have produced standing room only crowds. How many events would AFT Events like to produce in house? Will we see American Flat Track stars in Europe soon? What impact does he think the NBCSN TV package will have on the series? How does American Flat Track view other racing series such as Steve Nace Racing and the Steel Show Nationals? Lock joined us in studio at WNDB FM93.5 in Daytona Beach. Shayna Texter calls in from the X-Games with her thoughts on her winning season thus far. Her convincing win at New York on the Half Mile has everyones attention. Perhaps it is a turning point as most think of her as a Mile flat track specialist but that may be changing.  Talking Motorcycles airs LIVE every Wednesday night at 7pm Eastern and you can listen from anywhere in the world at www.newsdaytonabeach.com or on the WNDB app on your smart device!

In the last 12 months Pegram has competitively raced Supermoto, flat track at X-Games, driven the AudioSport R8 and won, and road raced at MotoAmerica! As a driver and a rider Larry Pegram has but one goal and that is to have fun! Not only can Larry Pegram do all these things but he also has the ability to communicate with race fans worldwide. His work on BeinSports as a color analyst. Now Pegram appears to be very comfortable as the color analyst of American Flat Track on NBCSN!  Above all that it appears his true passion is racing Go Karts with his children! Danny Walker has had but one goal as a team owner/manager in MotoAmerica. That goal is to see his contracted riders advance to the world stage in World Superbike and MotoGP. His Broaster Chicken Honda Team is headed to MotoAmerica at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca without Jake Gagne because Gagne got the call to ride for the Ten Kate team in World Superbike there in place of the late Nicky Hayden. We hear his thoughts about that and more in this episode of Talking Motorcycles. His hope is that Gagne will be signed full time by Ten Kate following the Laguna round. What qualities does he think Jake has that can make him a star on the world stage?  Thank you for listening to Talking Motorcycles with Barry Boone that originates from the studios of WNDB in Daytona Beach.

Our Third Annual "Night Before the Daytona 200 Show" This show was LIVE from the Bahama Breeze across from Daytona International Speedway before a LIVE audience. Three generations of Daytona 200 winners joined us on this show. It was heard LIVE by tens of thousands of listeners on WNDB AM1150/FM93.5 who were in Daytona for the 75th Daytona Bike Week. Thousands more heard it around the world on the WNDB app. Without a doubt we made history in this epic "Night before the 200 Show". 5 time Daytona 200 winner, Mr Daytona, Scott Russell joined us and remained onboard for our Q & A with Danny Eslick and Dick Klamfoth. Danny Eslick went on the record about being denied the opportunity to win his third consequetive Daytona 200. His comments were straight forward and insightful.  Dick Klamfoth won the 200 in 1949, 1951 and 1952 on the sands of Daytona Beach. His description of a lap on the beach was truly amazing.  Scott Russell asked great questions of Eslick and Klamfoth and told a story that you have likely never heard before about being arrested in 1997 on the night before he set pole and won the Daytona 200! History was made as Barry Boone introduced Klamfoth and Russell. The joy was palpable as well as the respect between these two greast championship riders. Russell remained on board for to co-host the entire show. There is no way to describe the convergence of history as three generations of Daytona 200 champions told their timeless stories.  Talking Motorcycles is powered by Crosley Brands!
