At last year’s Law Tigers American Flat Track Arizona Mile, fans were treated to one of the closest finishes in AFT history with Indian Motorcycle factory rider and “Mile Master” Bryan Smith pulling out a half-bike margin win over teammate Brad Baker.

There’s a lot more to see and experience over and above the racing action, too. This year’s ’70s/’80s ‘Throwback’ Party means you can break out your best Evel Knievel or On Any Sunday T-shirts and boogie to a live band, take part in the ‘70s/’80s costume contest, enjoy the vintage motorcycle show, and check out the vendor row with great brands and items. Costume contest winners (two sets of two tickets) will be upgraded to a suite to enjoy all of the racing action.

Tickets for this year’s event are on sale now at www.ArizonaMile.com. Tickets start at just $39, with lots of other options including VIP trackside or rooftop, air-conditioned Turf Club & Club House, and much more. We look forward to seeing you at this year’s race!
