Briar Bauman leads flat track motorcycle racing back to Perris

Flat track motorcycle racing, after an absence of 19 months, returns to the region Saturday night at the Southern California Fair and Event grounds in Perris. It will be the only appearance of the year in the area for the American Flat Track organization, with four classes competing on the card.
At one point, the AFT was a regular visitor to the region, racing at famed Ascot Park in Gardena. However, the facility closed in 1990 and the races were transferred to the horse track at the L.A. County
