Kenny Cummings, owner of NYC Norton, and sponsor of the Inaugural Vintage Cup Series had this to say: “While the racing up front is always exciting with the usual cast of characters, there were also races within the race. Just behind the front runners, there was some magnificent racing going on with some veterans and new faces keeping the entire field competitive and exciting. We are seeing new and familiar faces coming out with newly built bikes to join in the fun. Proof positive ‘if you build it they will come’”
AHRMA would like to thank NYC Norton and Roadracing World for their continued support!
The next rounds will be held at Heartland Park, in Topeka, Kansas, June 28-30.
