AMA Vintage Dirt Track National Championship Series kicks off during Bike Week
January 11, 2013
PICKERINGTON, Ohio -- The AMA
Vintage Dirt Track National Championship Series kicks off its 2013 season on
March 9 in Savannah, Ga. The popular series features period-correct vintage
dirt-track motorcycles and exciting handlebar-to-handlebar racing action.
"The American Motorcyclist Association has a long and rich history in
dirt-track racing, dating to the original factory Class-A competition in the
1920s," said AMA Track Racing Manager Ken Saillant. "When the Class-C
production-based format made its debut, the sport's popularity grew, laying the
foundation for modern competition. We're excited to continue paying tribute to
our past with this series, and we're looking forward to another action-packed
season of racing for our amateur competitors."
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 AMA-sanctioned
disciplines.
Class rules and equipment regulations, updated and improved for 2013, are
available at www.americanmotorcyclist.com/racing/rules.
The full series schedule is below.
The first three rounds of the 2013 AMA Vintage National Dirt Track Championship
Series are part of an extensive dirt-track program in southern Georgia and
Florida during Daytona Bike Week.
Following Bike Week, the 12-round series travels through Alabama, Illinois, New
York, Ohio and Indiana before the finale in Cuddebackville, N.Y., on Sept. 21.

The Motorcycle Hall of Fame recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to motorcycling, including those known for their contributions to road riding, off-road riding and all categories of racing, as well as those who have excelled in business, history, design and engineering.
