64th Annual Indoor Motorcycle Ice Race
Flint Motorcycle Club – December 7, 2024
On December 7th, 2024, Thunder Roads Michigan Magazine made its way to the 64th Annual Indoor Motorcycle Race put on by the Flint Motorcycle Club. While we’ve gotten to know the race and its tradition of raising funds for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Genesee County, this was our first time attending.
And when I say “first time,” I mean it was the first time for my son Colton, along with Jim and Scott from Bikes, Babes, and Booze, and me. I’m not sure if any of the previous owners ever made it to the races over the years, but anyway, it was a fresh experience for us, and we definitely plan to catch every race in the future.
We got to soak in the atmosphere from the stands and only left our seats once during a break between heats. Like I mentioned, we’ve become familiar with the races over the last couple of years, but it was really cool to see some of the familiar names and numbers in action. A big shoutout to MadCap Imaging, the event’s main photographer, for connecting us back to our first issue. We’ve previously interviewed one of the FMC members about the race’s history and featured #79 Jayson Bloss. Although we didn’t get to meet any of the members or volunteers this year, I have to say I was cheering for #79, even though he had no idea we were there.
There were tons of races, and the little ones on their PW bikes brought us even more joy than Santa and the Grinch fighting for Christmas spirit. So
many familiar faces at the race and it helped break the cabin fever blues.
We hope you enjoy the January Thunder Cams and apologize for not being able to share all the photos from that night. We grabbed what we could from MadCap Imaging online and can’t wait for the 65th Annual in 2025, where we hope to meet the organizers and racers face-to-face.
