The 2012 AMA Pro Flat Track Championship has announced its partial schedule for next season, with 16 races officially confirmed and three still in negotiations.

As always, the competition kicks off at Daytona on the weekend of March 15th, with a doubleheader. The final round will be held on October 13th at the Pomona Half Mile at the LA County Fairplex.

Of the current races on the schedule, 10 will be Grand National Twins races, including five mile-long races and five half-miles. The other six will feature the 450cc class, with three TTs and three short tracks. All races on the schedule will include the Pro Singles class, which showcases the up-and-coming young riders in the sport.

Highlights of the schedule include a whopping four races in Springfield, two in May and two in September. The Indy Mile will return this year after a last-minute cancellation this past season, and will run on the weekend of the Red Bull Indy MotoGP on August 18th, according to Cycle News.

All that’s left is for AMA to fill the three holes in the schedule, with unannounced tracks still in negotiation for races on June 9th, September 15th and October 9th.
