AMA announces vintage dirt-track series

A VINTAGE National Dirt-Track Championship has been announced by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) for 2010.

The series will feature 10 rounds with 14 classes using machinery from the bygone era.

“Much of AMA history was written on oval dirt tracks across America, from the original factory Class-A racing in the 1920s to the Class-C production-based structure that emerged later,” says Joe Bromley, AMA director of racing. “The AMA was there from the beginning, and this organisation is in a unique position to lay claim to the history of this sport and give it the recognition it deserves on the national stage.”

Mmm. Wonder if John Kocinski will be taking part?
