2012 Vintage TT Rained Out   -   Check In Early Next Year For Our 2013 Schedule

August 26, 2012 - AMA Vintage Dirt Track National Championship TT
 
This year fans have the opportunity to see two Vintage Dirt Track races. PMC is hosting a TT race on Sunday, August 26, 2012 as part of the AMA Vintage National Championship Series. This is a small change from the vintage TT races we've held in recent years, but one that should bring even more entries to the event. In addition to all the vintage bike classes, we are also running two modern bike support classes - 250 Amateur and 450 Amateur.
  
Schedule:
  Gates Open:  8:00 am
  Racer Registration:  8:30 am
  Practice:  11:00 am
  Racing:  12:30 am
 
Tickets: $10 at the Gate

2011 Vintage TT Event

September 11, 2011 - AHRMA Vintage Dirt Track TT -and- Open-Singles Amateur TT
  
We successfully completed our 2011 AHRMA Vintage TT race. This event is a tradition at PMC, which brings back a lot of nostalgia for the day. The bikes entered in the vintage classes could have run here as brand new machines, over the many years that PMC has hosted the AMA Grand National Championship TT. Who knows, some of them may have raced here in to 50s, 60s or 70s. Just think, in 30 years, Henry Wiles' 2011 Kawasaki KX450F may run here as a vintage bike. What's even better, some of the racers at this event may be the original owners.

There are 12 divisions for the vintage bikes and they race under AHRMA rules. Click here to learn more about the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association - AHRMA.

This event also provided an opportunity for amateur racers on modern bikes to try their skills on a fast, natural terrain TT track. The Open-Singles Amateur TT class showcases modern bikes, ridden by hot shoes working their way up to pro-level racing. This class offers a good contrast to the vintage bikes, to show how far the machinery has come over the years.
