DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (February 23, 2026) — Progressive American Flat Track, sanctioned by AMA Pro Racing, has opened ticket sales for the West Coast rounds of the 2026 season: the Ventura Short Track on Saturday, April 25, at Ventura Raceway in Ventura, California, and the Silver Dollar Short Track on Saturday, May 2, at Silver Dollar Speedway in Chico, California.

The back-to-back California events will showcase the sport’s premier divisions, Mission AFT SuperTwins and KICKER AFT Singles, along with the newly launched AFT ProSport 450 class at both venues.

AFT ProSport 450 serves as a direct development bridge between amateur competition and the professional ranks, creating a clear pathway for rising talent to advance to Progressive American Flat Track. As part of the Road to AFT initiative, the class features the top 12 finishers from the Amateur CTR event held the day prior, earning them the opportunity to compete on the sport’s biggest stage. By placing emerging riders in front of professional teams and national audiences, AFT ProSport 450 helps accelerate the next generation of flat track stars.

The all women class of Build. Train. Race. will join the series at Ventura Short Track. AFT AdventureTrackers are making the classes first trip to California at the Silver Dollar Short Track as part of their expanded schedule in 2026.

Ventura Raceway’s tight, 1/5-mile dirt oval, located just steps from the Pacific Ocean, has quickly earned a reputation for close-quarters action and capacity crowds. One week later, teams will head north to Chico, where Silver Dollar Speedway’s high-banked, 1/4-mile clay oval provides a distinctly different challenge and a proven stage for bar-to-bar racing.

In addition to a full slate of racing, fans at both events can expect vendor displays, big-screen viewing, designated motorcycle parking and a wide range of food and beverage options.
