Hooligan Racing in Sturgis

Flat track racing with the Roland Sands crew at Sturgis Buffalo Chip

That's a LOT of bikes going into the first turn in the Hooligan RaceMorgan Gales

"Hooligan Racing," really is the perfect name for what they're doing out here. Taking heavy street bikes and turning them into flat track racing machines, then whipping them around the track like a bunch of hooligans!

It all started off a few years ago with people racing in the "Run What ya Brung," class, and that action growing more serious with people like Ed Subias of Hot Bike and Cameron Brewer of RSD modifying their street bikes more and more until they became full blown racers. Those two were out on the track for Hoolgan Racing at the Chip, along with many more.

Mixed experience levels produce a challenge as well. Legendary road racer Jake Zemke joined the lineup of hooligans both experienced and not, on his tricked out Ducati Scrambler, and took first.

"It's rad to have pros out there with us, it pushes us and makes us go faster," Said Cameron Brewer after the race. Cameron took second right behind Zemke in a race that was shockingly close.
