Fans of all eras of dirt-track competition will get a special
treat this Aug. 24  and 26 when the period-correct vintage race bikes of the
American Motorcyclist  Association Vintage Dirt Track National Championship
Series converge on one of  the country's most historic dirt-track venues in
Peoria, Ill.

"You don't  get much more classic or unique than the Peoria
TT, and we are excited that the  rolling thunder of the AMA Vintage Dirt Track
National Championship Series will  visit the famed track," said AMA Director of
Racing Joe Bromley. "With two days  of racing and competition in both
short-track and TT, fans will get plenty of  opportunity to see history come
alive at Peoria."

The doubleheader event  will kick off with short-track
racing on Friday, Aug. 24, at the Peoria  Motorcycle Speedway for round 13 of
the national championship series.

"Dirt-track racing is one of the most
thrilling shows on two wheels,"  said Steve Nace of Steve Nace Racing, which
will promote the Friday night  short-track event. "We're really excited to be at
Peoria this weekend, and we're  looking forward to a great crowd of race fans to
cheer on these racers."

Then, on Sunday, Aug. 26, racers will compete in
the historic Peoria TT.

"The Peoria Motorcycle Club, being one of the
oldest and most  prestigious clubs in the AMA, is proud to host the AMA Vintage
Dirt Track  National Championship Series at the PMC Race Track on Aug. 26," said
Bert  Sanders, PMC race director. "Hope to see you here."

The Friday
night  short-track will include several modern support classes in addition to
the  vintage program. The Sunday TT will include one amateur open support class
that  will allow modern race bikes. Contact the individual event promoters for
class  details.

The AMA Racing Vintage Dirt Track National Championship
Series  recognizes national champions in period-correct classes that reflect the
storied  history of AMA dirt-track competition. From the original factory Class
A racing  in the 1920s to the Class C production-based structure that emerged
shortly  after, dirt-track competition wrote much of the early history of racing
in  America. Today's rules are written so the class structure reflects the
diverse  eras of dirt track's history while avoiding non-traditional
modifications that  violate the spirit of a vintage meet.
