Ever seen somebody push a 1098cc Ducati to the 190-mph mark? Barrett Long can do it. The Miami motorcycle racer, competing in the unlimited division of the Championship Cup Series, is in position to win it all. He’s ranked 11th and was favored to win his last contest, but he had mechanical problems and took second. Rafael Ferrer, another Miami-Dade biker boy, is leading the overall scoreboard for the amateur division on his 600cc middleweight. He looks to hold his position as he burns rubber across 2.2 miles of track.

Nineteen races are scheduled to run back to back, so you’ve got a full day of unbelievably loud entertainment ahead of you. Paid general admission gets you full access via a “pit pass” and parking on the infield — unthinkable at a Nascar event. Haul ass over to the Homestead-Miami Speedway. For more info, call 305-230-5000 or check out www.ccsracing.us.
