Maddrill Increases Points Lead in AHRMA Vintage Cup Action at Heartland Motorsports Park
(May 31, 2022, Elora, Tennessee) Two victories at the AHRMA Classic MotoFest™ in the Heartland helped Jeremy Maddrill extend his lead in the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) Vintage Cup. The event was rounds 11 and 12 of the 2022 Bridgestone Tires AHRMA National Historic Cup Roadracing Series and was held at Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka, Kansas May 28 and 29.
The 2022 Vintage Cup, sponsored by RoadracingWorld.com, highlights the Vintage Superbike Heavyweight class and Maddrill, from Stiger, Illinois, won both rounds on his 1979 Kawasaki KZ 650.
“These 650cc-sized superbikes are the real deal and in the right hands, may earn a Vintage Cup championship,” said Brian Larrabure, 2022 Chair of the AHRMA Board of Trustees.
On Saturday, Maddrill had a clean start, immediately took, and held the lead until the checkered flag. Kevin Rammer, from Newnan, Georgia, on a 1982 Honda CB650SC was unable to reel in Maddrill and placed second. Rounding out the podium in third was Matt Esterline from Portage, Michigan, on a 1977 Honda CB750F, with Andre Hauer of Houston, Texas finishing fourth on a 1981 Kawasaki GPZ 550.
In a repeat performance of Saturday, Maddrill took the lead and the eventual win for Sunday. Rammer was in close pursuit until he experienced traction and chassis wobble issues which allowed Ben Sloter of Island Lake, Illinois to take second on his 1981 Kawasaki GPZ 550. Rammer took third place points which elevated him to second overall in the Vintage Cup points chase.
The 2022 Vintage Cup Trophy will be awarded to the Vintage Superbike Heavyweight class winner at select events including New Jersey Motorsports Park, WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, and Barber Motorsports Park.
The Vintage Superbike Heavyweight class is sponsored by International CBX Owners Association (ICOA).
