Motorcycle races speed into Lima

Updated:

Some of the best motorcycle racers in the country put on a show at the Allen County Fairgrounds Saturday night.

They were in Lima for the Ohio National Championship Motorcycle Races. It's part of the AMA Grand National Circuit.

The event draws more than 90 riders and thousands of motorcycle racing fans. Promoter Dean Gallup says it's hard to gauge what kind of economic impact the race has on the local economy.

Despite Friday's storms, the track was ready. Gallup says they've only had to move the race to Sunday one time because of the weather.
