DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (June 17, 2025) – Progressive American Flat Track is turning the dial up to eleven for the Lima Half‑Mile I & II, Rounds 7 and 8 of the 2025 season at Ohio’s storied Allen County Fairgrounds on Friday, June 27, and Saturday, June 28. Brand‑new for 2025, an ultra‑exclusive VIP Experience drops fans into the heat of the cushion like never before. 

From kicking off Opening Ceremonies smack‑dab in the infield to chilling with cold beer in a private lounge, the Lima VIP Experience is built for flat track die‑hards who want a full‑throttle sensory overload. 

The 2025 Lima VIP Experience Includes: 

• Track‑side meet & greet with 10‑time Grand National Champion Jared Mees during Opening Ceremonies – snap a podium photo worthy of your mantle. 

• Infield access for Opening Ceremonies and heat races – feel the pea gravel ping off your boots while the Mission AFT SuperTwins rip past. 

• All‑day, all‑access pit pass – roam freely and swing by Jay Springsteen’s pits for a handshake and photo with the legend. 

• Premier reserved grandstand seat of your choice plus an elevated Turn 1 wood‑deck balcony for a bird’s‑eye view when the cushion gets wild. 

• Climate‑controlled VIP lounge tucked under the grandstands stocked with fan‑favorite eats, unlimited soft drinks & water, and five (5) frosty beers on the house at our VIP beer station. 

• Free VIP parking just steps from vendors and grandstands – no long hikes, just high‑speed thrills. 

Quantities are extremely limited – once these wristbands are gone, they’re gone. Grab your Lima VIP tickets here and lock in the ultimate race‑day flex. 

Why Upgrade? 

VIP isn’t just about comfy seats. It’s the ground shaking as the pack thunders by, the sweet scent of race fuel in the pits, and a cold drink in hand while a pair of Hall‑of‑Famers trade stories. Whether you’ve been sliding cushion tracks for decades or this is your first taste of America’s Original Extreme Sport, the Lima VIP Experience is the closest you’ll get without twisting the throttle yourself.
