“From the early days of the 20th Century, racers have been battling for glory on America’s dirt ovals, and the AMA Vintage Dirt Track National Championship Series keeps this time-honored sport alive,” said AMA Track Racing Manager Ken Saillant.
“The history of American motorcycling was written by companies who challenged each other for dirt-track racing supremacy, in both original factory Class-A competition in the 1920s and the Class-C production-based format that continues today.”
The AMA Vintage Dirt Track National Championship Series recognizes national champions in period-correct classes that reflect the storied history of AMA dirt-track competition. Class winners are honored at the annual AMA Championship Banquet, which recognizes national champions in all amateur racing disciplines.
Class rules and equipment regulations are available at www.americanmotorcyclist.com/racing/rules/. The full series schedule is below.
The first three rounds of the 2015 AMA Vintage National Dirt Track Championship Series run in conjunction with the AMA-sanctioned amateur dirt-track program that has grown up around Daytona Bike Week.
Following Bike Week, the 14-round series travels through Illinois, North Carolina, New York, Ohio, Indiana and Wisconsin before returning to New York for the Sept. 26-27 finale in Cuddebackville, N.Y.
