Racing is back in full force and that includes Royal Enfield’s Build Train Race (BTR) Flat Track program. While the series hosted the "BTR Select" exhibition at the Volusia Half Mile on March 5, 2022, the first proper round of the 2022 season took place at the Odessa, Missouri’s I-70 Motorsports Park on April 23, 2022. With seven riders returning and eight new faces joining the BTR paddock, the full-grid race didn’t skimp on drama.
Prior to race day, the teams were scheduled to participate in a full test day. Unfortunately, blustery conditions and track equipment challenges shortened the final shakedown to two sessions. The abbreviated test day left riders and teams figuring out race setups on the fly, posing major problems for rookies and veterans alike.
