Nick, The Flint and mid-Michigan area in general is a hot bed for flat trackers for generations. Bart Markel, Scott Parker, Springsteens, Cummings. Many more out of this area. I went to school with some of them and still see them.

Have fun, AND... don't skimp on good gear. Helmet, leathers, etc.

I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”.
