(Elora, Tennessee) – The 2022 Vintage Cup class sponsored by RoadracingWorld.com, featuring Vintage Superbike Heavyweight, kicked off both days of racing at Thunderhill Raceway Park, in Willows, California. Curtis Adams, from Riverside, California, won both races on a 1981 Honda CB750F.
Adams and Jesse Davis, of Long Beach, California, both entered the weekend with 2000 points. Current Vintage Cup class leader, Jeremy Maddrill, of Stiger, Illinois, did not make this West Coast event, thus presenting an opportunity for valuable points to be earned. A shootout between Adams and Davis was expected, but unfortunately for Davis, he highsided in Turn Five and his weekend ended early.
Adams put his head down and put in the laps. While challenged by Darrin Gauvin, of Camarillo, California, aboard his 1981 Honda CB900F, Adams was not to be overtaken as his lap times consistently improved and landed him with double-points and a jump to second place overall in this series.
“I worked control for this event and the corner workers could not say enough about this class as Adams laid down consistent laps. It is truly the sound of music each time they take to the track. I look forward to watching as the remainder of the season unfolds,” stated Dewanna Comer, AHRMA’s Road Race Director.
The 2022 Vintage Cup Trophy will be awarded to the Vintage Superbike Heavyweight class winner at select events including Heartland Park Motorsports Park, New Jersey Motorsports Park, Weathertech Raceway Laguna Seca, Ridge Motorsports Park, and Barber Motorsports Park. Our thanks to Roadracing World for their sponsorship of the Vintage Cup class, and to supporting AHRMA’s vision of “Keeping the Past Fast.” The Vintage Superbike Heavyweight class is sponsored by International CBS Owners Association (ICOA).
