AHRMA Brings Vintage and Modern Bikes back to Thunderhill Raceway
ELORA, TN – After almost 20 years, the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) is returning to a West Coast venue that’s perfect for vintage and modern race bikes.
Two rounds of the 2022 Bridgestone Tires AHRMA National Historic Cup Roadracing Series will be held at Thunderhill Raceway Park, in Willows, CA, from April 28 to May 1, 2022.
“Thunderhill is a great track for all of the road race machines that run in AHRMA,” said Brian Larrabure, 2022 Chair of the AHRMA Board of Trustees. “The long straights give our vintage, and modern, big-bore bikes a chance to stretch their legs while the technical turns, like ‘the Cyclone,’ make it interesting and fun for our smaller bikes. Plus, the weather should be perfect for racing.”
A wide range of classes for both Vintage and Modern motorcycles and even sidecars will be competing on the 3-mile “East” Thunderhill circuit. The track’s elevation changes will challenge the racers and create great viewing for spectators.
“AHRMA got a taste of Thunderhill during the NorCal Classic in 2004 and we’ve been wanting to come back for years,” Larrabure said. “We can’t wait to show West Coast racing fans what makes AHRMA so good, right in their backyard.”
Whether you race or would like to enjoy a day of watching great racing, you won’t want to miss this event. The event will be a doubleheader weekend with racing on both Saturday and Sunday. On Friday there will be an AHRMA Academy of Road Racing (AAR) school available for new racers. Students who pass the school on Friday will be eligible to race Saturday and Sunday.
AHRMA is the largest historic motorcycle racing organization in the United States. It promotes national events at iconic venues including Daytona International Speedway, Heartland Motorsports Park, WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca, and Barber Motorsports Park. For the best racing at the best venues, AHRMA is the place to be.
