The final round of the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) 2024 Vintage Cup will be a dash for cash.
AHRMA and NYC Norton have announced a $2,000 purse for the top five finishers in the Saturday, October 12, 2024 350cc GP race during the 18th Annual Barber Vintage Festival.
Sponsored by Hagerty Insurance, Roadracingworld.com, and NYC Norton (nycnorton.com), AHRMA’s 2024 Vintage Cup features the 350 Grand Prix (350GP) class which includes 350cc two and four-stroke powered machines built up to 1968.
“NYC Norton is proud to partner with several AHRMA benefactors who have stepped up to support our Vintage Cup racers in the final weekend of racing. It takes a tremendous amount of time and resources to campaign a vintage machine for the entire season, and we want to support their efforts in any way possible,” said NYC Norton’s Kenny Cummings.
“NYC Norton and some AHRMA partners have generously spiced up the Vintage Cup’s final round with some purse money. It should keep things interesting as racers fight for the final win of the 2024 season,” said Greg Tomlinson, 2024 AHRMA Chairman of the Board.
The purse distribution is:
1st Place $750
2nd Place $500
3rd Place $350
