    AFT Prod Twins Incoming

    There have been movements throughout the AFT paddock, with the big teams in Singles, Turner Honda and Estenson Yamaha, changing their personnel (read the AFT Singles Shake-Up post). Now it's the Production Twins' turn for a bit of the spotlight. Cory Texter assuredly regained his #1 plate in 2021, and confirmed that he would remain with the G&G Racing Yamaha team that he has won two Production Twins titles with, coming second in the other.

    Red Mile Thoughts

    Here's the latest instalment of my morning after brain dump after watching (and listening to) the AFT 2019 races on Fanschoice. First thought was thank goodness the rain held off to actually get a Twins race finished. The Singles managed to have their Saturday Springfield TT, but the last two Twins mile races have been rained out, and this one was postponed from Saturday to Sunday. There must have been a lot of twitchy executives. The rescheduled race was at a very handy time
