115th HD Anniversary Flat Out Friday Racing
Daily Slideshow: Where else are you going to get a grown man dressed as a banana racing against a wrestling legend?
Come one come all
Harley-Davidson's 115th Anniversary Flat Out Friday was part hardcore flat track racing and part sideshow. In one round, you'd see a giant banana riding a Yamaha XS and then an Ultimate Warrior cosplayer riding it out in full wrestling gear. “Going out and having fun with the homies is what it’s about, and #flatoutfriday always brings them together,” posted lc_pojazdu (a.k.a. Christopher Milanowski) on Instagram.
The air is "sick"
Milanowski was so excited about constantly launching his pull-cart scooter in the Boonies class off ramps that he forgot to race. "I was so excited just to catch sick air off the jump".
Soon after that, guests were hit over the head with the roar of Sportsters echoing off of the interior of the Panther Arena as racers flew around the short concrete track.
Would you ride it?
Flat Out Friday is an event where all makes of bikes are welcome with the likes of Hooligans, Brakeless Main, Sportsters and whatever else worth all buzzing about. For the Brakeless main event, four-stroke bikes with no suspension or brakes competed against one another.

In between the races were palate cleansers in the form of police skills demonstration and performances by the Wheelie Wizzard, Tyler Sheppard, who rode a small Honda with no front wheel. various celebs were also in attendance and chatted with the host of festivities, Dianna Dahlgren as the night went on.
Motor mayhem
The Hooligan main race saw 11 riders squeeze onto the starting line to battle it out. This race ended in close fashion with first place coming in just 0.32 seconds before the second-place finisher. Post-race, four riders lived up to the name of the race and put on a smoke show by burning up their back tires.
“This is the biggest win I’ve ever had by far—and to do it in front of all these fantastic Harley-Davidson fans… Harley-Davidson throws one kick-ass party and I’m glad to be a part of it,” the first place winner said.
