The IV League Flat Track series Del Mar Finale took place March 19 to record breaking spectator attendance. No doubt spurred on by the free Indian Motorcycle Scout Sixty that was given away at the end of the night to anybody that came through the event gate! Right on Indian!!

Hooligan racing is flat track class for street based motorcycles. Predominantly American V-Twins from Harley-Davidson and Indian Motorcycle.. Easy and economical to get into, Hooligan racing has grown by leaps and bounds in the last year or so with corporate involvement from Indian and Harley-Davidson.
Always a fan favorite at whatever flat track event they race at, the finale at Del Mar was no different. A stacked field of over 30 of the best Hooligan racers in the country attacked the dirt oval inside the Del Mar arena.

Perennial front runner Chris Wiggins racing for The Speed Merchant took a big win. Chris got a fantastic jump off the starting line with the infamous “Rusty Butcher” a.k.a. Mark Atkins in tow.
Chris pulled out a commanding lead and never looked back until the checkered flag. Chris has a smooth unassuming style that doesn’t look too dramatic but his speed and race leading will tell you otherwise.

Along with the racing and the Indian Scout Sixty give away, there was a long jump competition, A “Junk Yard Build-Off”, Motorcycle racing legend Malcolm Smith doing a book signing and an amazing band compromised of pre-teenage kids kicking out the jams. IV League Flat Track always has a slew of entertainment lined up for their events and this one might have been the best one yet!!

Chris Wiggins was the big winner in a stacked Hooligan field of racers. Chris has a smooth style and knack for getting traction that makes it look as if he is not going that fast, but he is always in contention for a top spot on the podium.

James Micale is a regular at the Del Mar series and always gets down in the Hooligan class on his Dyna Super Glide. While his bike is an easy 200lbs heavier than the rest of the Hooligans, he doesn’t let that restrict him. He is always on the rev limiter and hanging off the bike in all sorts of ways to get the beast tamed.
