Lima, Ohio (April
20, 2026) - Mees
Promotions has partnered
with Cory Texter Promotions
to bring an exciting amateur
showcase to the Lima
Half-Mile on Thursday, June
25, kicking off one of the
most historic weekends in
American Flat Track racing.
Held the day before the
legendary Lima Half-Mile
Grand National event, this
amateur program will give
riders a premier opportunity
to compete on one of the
sport’s most iconic cushion
half-mile tracks.
The event will also feature
a “Road to AFT” class, where
competitors will battle for
a coveted top-12 transfer
position into Friday’s Grand
National Triple event,
adding even more intensity
and opportunity for rising
talent.
This race marks the final
Road to AFT event of the
2026 season, making Lima the
ultimate proving ground for
the next generation of
professional riders.
Mees Promotions shared,
“We’re excited to keep the
amateur event going at Lima
and can’t wait to see the
pros of the future take on
the half-mile.”
Riders can pre-enter now by
visiting corytexterpromotions.com.
Fans and competitors alike
are encouraged to be part of
the action as the road to
the pros runs through Lima.
We look forward to seeing
everyone on June 25 at Allen
County Fairgrounds.
