Quick update on the last few weeks. Long post though.

Springfield. I'm already not much of a shorttrack guy, and have never rode a TT, so Springfield was just for fun. Thursday I struggled a lot more than I thought I should have on our backup 450. If I wasn't last, I was close to it on 30+. The TT Friday was a little of the same. Thought we would make some more changes but struggled just as much on the 450 in the 30+ class. Finally decided to hop on the 250 just for fun in the semi and had faster lap times on a bike that wasn't set up at all for the track, but still missed the main. So maybe it wasn't entirely my terrible riding during the week, but we definitely learned a few things.

Harpster. Back to a half mile. 30+ was part of the Triple Challenge again. Was able to finish 4th in all the mains behind some really strong competition, which put me 4th overall. I also rode the Maddog class since I am with the Rotax. Unfortunately, it seems the 150 has lost some power over the years, felt like I wasn't going quick than 3rd gear speed. So a 5th was all I could get out of the ride.

Lima. Finally to get all caught back up we headed up to Lima for the Motorsports Mania. Raced the 30+ class which again had some heavy hitters riding. Felt great on the bike and the track was fantastic. Was able to finish 5th from the 2nd row in the Main. We also rode Heavyweight Vintage on an assist from Bowers Racing. Bad luck hit for practice, got the Rotax up to 3rd gear and it started losing power. Jason got the bike fixed about 5 mins too late for the Heat, so started the Main from the back row. Finished 2nd by about half a bike. Maybe a tweak or 2 could've put us in 1st but I will take a 2nd.

Fun last month of racing. I believe 2 more races to go to end the year.

As always, thanks to my sponsors for letting me do what I love.

Had a very eventful last few weeks. It all started with Friday night in Greenville. Road Vintage, 30+, and figured why not try Open Am. Struggled on and off getting the 450 dialed in, some moments good laps, some not. And 30+ was definitely filled with some big hitters. Was happy to make the main and take home a 9th I believe. The Open Am went to a semi where only the winner advanced, and naturally I got sideways off the line and when I realized I would need a miracle to get to the front I pulled off. The Rotax for the Vintage class felt great to start the day. Fast qualifying time. Something seemed a little off in the heats but I took 3rd. After checking out bike everything seemed good. Then, I took it to the start line for the Main and Kaboom. Not to happy with ending the night with a blown engine. That's how things go sometimes though.

The next day we had a race in Marion. Without the Rotax, I decided to just run the 30+ for the Ohio State series. Wasn't really all there that day and was struggling with the 450 a little. But, I got 3rd in the main so I can't feel too bad even though I probably should have been better.

I will do a Springfield update in a couple days.
Thanks to my sponsors as always and PBR Photography for these awesome pics from Greenville.

Can't wait to ride this track again next year

Austin Anthony - Greenville, Ohio

08/28/2026

Had a fun weekend in Athens this past week. Spent most of Friday going back and forth on gearing and different things. But since the Friday mains got pushed to Saturday morning we were able to make a decision. Definitely felt good on both bikes. 1st off with the Heavy Weight class, was able to take 1st in both mains, even after trying to take off in neutral. The 30+ we did solid. Had to start on the back row in 1st main because of bike issue in heat, and got 2nd by about 6 inches, give or take. 2nd main, I little tired, was happy to take 2nd. I also rode Open Am. Finished 4th and 3rd. Definitely had some speed but kept getting to far behind on the first lap and had to work on making that up before passing. All in all, was a great weekend and to end it with a Pulled Pork Sandwich Meal......cannot be topped.

Next stop The Great Darke County Fair tomorrow.

Thanks to my sponsors.

A few weekends to recap.
Weekend 1 was a race in Ashland during Vintage Days. Very much enjoyed the track. I rode 30+, 80's 750cc, and Hot Rod Singles. Had pretty decent heat races that put me in good positions for the Mains. Definitely think I could have rode better in the mains than I did, but I still podiumed in all 3. 1st in 750, 2nd in Hot Rod, and a 3rd in 30+. Its more exciting to check all the boxes instead of just 3 1st places right?

Next race we had at Harpster. We for sure had our ups and downs there. Raced the 30+ and Heavy Vintage as usual. Had a solid heat in the Vintage and for the main was able to get the lead and run away for the win. For the 30+, I must not have felt like racing the Honda, so I blew it up in the 1st lap of the heat race. This put me in the back row for the main on our backup bike that I hadn't put a lap in with. But, the Yamaha ran quite well in the Main, unfortunately probably had the wrong gearing, but finished 3rd. So, that's a win in my bike.

Got our original Yamaha back a couple weeks ago and got some practice on it the last few weeks, ready to finish the year going fast.

Thanks Mia for the pictures.

Couldn't do this without my sponsors.

This last weekend was unfortunately a bust. Went to Bellefontaine on Friday, the weather was playing with us. But, actually during practice the track was coming together very well. Set up to be a great track to race. Mother Nature decided to let loose a little too hard though and ended the day. Also, cancelling both races the next day. We did get some nice pictures from BTP Photography over the weekend though from Van Wert races, so that was a plus.

Might try to head over to Ashland this Saturday for Vintage Days and then I believe back to Harpster for some Half-Mile racing.

Thanks a ton to my sponsors.

I would say Van Wert was a pretty good success. Rode the Heavy Vintage and 30+ as normal. Bikes felt great all day and the track was awesome, or at least the bikes really loved the track. Swept 1st in all heats and Mains. Been feeling better each week on both bikes and it all definitely came together Saturday. Hopefully we can keep carrying the momentum for the rest of the season. Bellefontaine tomorrow and we will see what the dreaded weather decides to do after that.

Thanks to my sponsors as always and thanks to that blonde Jeff guy keeping the track in great condition.

Austin Anthony heavy vintage main event in Van Wert.

07/11/2026

A couple races to highlight.

Went up to Midland Michigan a few weekends. Lovely drive with all the construction, recommend if you love bouncy off your seat. Rode the 25+ and Open Vintage, both with cash on the line. Little did I know how good the competition in both was, setting times as fast as or even quicker than some pro riders. Was somewhere middle back of the pack for 25+ but qualified 4th for Vintage. Heat for 25+ was okay, finished maybe 4th. Vintage was not as good as it should've been with how qualify went and finished 3rd in 1 of 3 heats in the class. Unfortunately, that is when the rain blew in and ended the night. Actually felt great on both bikes. Was looking forward to the mains to see what I could do, more the Vintage than the 25+, but that's racing.

The following week was Lima. Mother Nature was just as friendly, turned our Thursday into a really long day. Rode 30+ and Heavy Vintage. There was only 1 other rider in the 30+ and he was very intimidated to see his competition so he ended up backing out. So I got the 30+ and no matter what anyone says I will say I am 1 and 0 against Cory Texter. I did get to have fun with the 40+ and Hooligan class though which was nice. As for the Vintage, I was 2nd in qualify, heats, and Main. I put on a good charge but ran out of energy to take the win.

Both tracks were fantastic. On to Van Wert tomorrow and Bellefontaine next week. As always, couldn't be here without my sponsors.

Life has definitely kept me busy the last month. But I have an update on my last 2 races.

Raced at Harpster a few weeks ago. Ran Heavy Vintage and 30+ classes. Had some close racing in the Vintage class, made a last lap pass to take the lead and 1st place. The 30+ was chosen as the Triple Crown race, so 3 main events. And I needed all 3. Struggled with grip on the 450 and took 4th in the 1st main. Was able to make adjustments to get just enough better to get 3rd in the other 2 mains, so a 3rd overall and a little bit of change to go with it.

Last weekend rode the RPM Shelbyville Half-Mile. Again, Heavy Vintage and 30+. Ran decent in practice, but struggled more than I wanted to in the heats. Had a very hard battle in the Heavy Main. Was able to work my way to 1st and hold on for the win. Unfortunately, there was only 1 race between my 30+ Main and I was gassed. Wasn't riding the 450 how I should've, finished maybe 7th or 8th. Oh well I guess.

Next stop Midland, hoping to come back home with a little bit of Michigan money.

Thanks to my sponsors. Thanks to Mia for the pic.
