From a press release:

Vmoto and HMSA stage first event April 26th and 27th.

Vmoto (Vintage Motorcycle Racing Association) is pleased to announce a new joint venture with the Historic Motorsports Association (HMSA). Under this agreement, Vmoto’s participants will share event weekends with HMSA. Vmoto will have one or more race groups in a typical HMSA weekend race schedule.

The inaugural combined event will be held at Thunderhill Raceway in Willows, California on April 26-27, 2003, and will feature 250, 350, 450 and 500 Grand Prix motorcycles.

“We are thrilled that HMSA has given us this opportunity,” says Llew Kinst of Vmoto. “HMSA has a long history of promoting premier vintage road racing events on the West Coast. HMSA’s philosophy, which is similar to ours, is focused more on the car than the competition. As a result, they have attracted the most exceptional historic cars to their events.”

Vmoto is currently negotiating other combined events throughout the year and is actively pursuing motorcycle-only events for 2004 at venues throughout the West Coast.

About Vmoto
The purpose of Vmoto is to encourage the restoration, preservation and use of historic, vintage, and classic road racing motorcycles. Vmoto events are, in effect, rolling museums where historic bikes of the past can be ridden once again in a venue that respects their historic value. Vmoto advocates preserving the history of the bikes and giving the rider an opportunity to experience what it was like to race in the past.
