STURGIS, S.D. – The Sturgis City Council will need to meet in special session Saturday because the threat of rain may postpone Sunday’s inaugural Sturgis TT flat track race.
Sturgis Director of Communications Deb Holland says in their final contract with A.F.T. Events, Monday was designated as an optional date should Sunday’s races get rained out. However, she says, the council will need to adjust the resolution that was passed closing the roads for the race.
Cameron Gray with A.M.A. Pro Racing says they have put a tarp over the dirt section of the track.
Gray says if the weather forces postponement, they will go right away on Monday.
The FOX television network will record the race and will air it next weekend on Saturday, August 17.
