FT 2021 Volusia Half-Mile I & II
Rounds 1 & 2, March 12 & 13
The season-opening American Flat Track doubleheader at the Volusia Speedway Park, Barberville, FL., - 30 miles inland from downtown Daytona Beach - kicked off the much-anticipated 2021 season just as the final weekend of this year's Daytona Rally got underway.
In the opening Mission Super Twins presented by S&S Cycle, Brandon Robinson (FTR750) and JD Beach (Yamaha MT-07) sprang a surprise on 2019 Champion Jared Mees and 2020 Champion Briar Bauman, before the 2021 Wrecking Crew pair restored their pride with Mees taking the win ahead of Bauman in Round 2 the following evening.
This was Robinson's third consecutive class win after taking injury comeback glory by winning both races in the 2020 Daytona season finale doubleheader.
In the AFT Singles, Shayna Texter-Bauman took a doubleheader pair of wins on the factory KTM 450 SX-FTE, with Chad Cose taking the Round 1 win in the AFT Production Twins presented by Vance & Hines on the H-D XG750R and a second place in Round 2 behind Cory Texter's Yamaha MT-07.
There is a seven-week gap now before the next race weekend, the Atlanta Super TT at the Atlanta Motor Speedway on May 1st, followed by the Mission Foods Texas Half-Mile Presented by Roof Systems at the Texas Motor Speedway - Fort Worth, TX. - on the same weekend as the J&P Cycles, Revzilla and Cycle Gear backed Get On! Moto Fest, which features an AMD World Championship of Custom Bike Building qualifier on the same weekend at the same venue.
