“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 can be viewed here.

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.
