One Saturday, two coasts, same left turn. On Saturday, November 7, AHRMA's 2026 flat track schedule has two short tracks going at once: the Southern California Flat Track Association at Perris Raceway in Perris, California, and South East Flat Track at Mid Carolina Speedway in Neeses, South Carolina [1]. Perris is a Western Region stop and Neeses is a Southern Region stop [1]. The leaves are down, the Northern ovals have gone quiet, and somewhere a man in a borrowed jacket is already arguing about tire pressure. Pick a coast.
Harpster in the rearview
October 17–18 at Triangle Motorcycle Club in Harpster, Ohio, was the last Northern Region date on AHRMA's 2026 flat track schedule [1]. We previewed it here. As of Oct. 26, AHRMA hasn't posted results for that weekend, so I'm not going to make any up. When the sheet goes up, we'll run the recap.
Perris, California: Hooligan night
AHRMA's flier calls Perris a Western Region points event run with SCFTA and JC Racing Productions, short track, at 1205 Burton Rd. [2]. The promoter lists Nov. 7 as Round 3 of its 2026 Flat Track Points Race Series, with an AHRMA Hooligan Night and the Pete Pistone 2 Stroke Challenge on the card [4]. Round 4, the championship round, is Dec. 5 [4].
JC Racing says Perris has been a pillar of the flat track, MX and off-road crowd since 1954, and that this series brings flat track back to the place after a two-year break [5]. Hooligan night under a Southern California sky. That is not a sentence you get to read every week. If you're anywhere near the Inland Empire, it's the closest thing to church the calendar offers.
Neeses, South Carolina: SEFT at Mid Carolina
On the other coast, AHRMA's flier lists a Southern Region points event run with South East Flat Track, short track, at Mid Carolina Speedway, 995 Henry Rd., Neeses, SC 29107 [3]. SEFT already ran Mid Carolina back on Feb. 7 [1], so this is the return trip. The flier doesn't post times or fees, and SEFT's details live on its Facebook page [1], so check there before you load the trailer.
I don't have an entry list for either track, and I'm not going to invent one. This is the dirt Legends Only Racing lives for: promoters and clubs who keep the gates open so the rest of us can go racing. It's why our race schedule leads with flat track.

The season doesn't owe you another weekend. It's offering one anyway. Take it, and don't waste it complaining about the drive.
