Remember the Race Of Champions at Mid Ohio’s Vintage Motorcycle Days in 2007?
Well, the concept is back, better than ever, and coming to a new and historical venue: Unadilla Sports Center and the MX Rewind event, June 1-3, 2012.
At this year’s AHRMA vintage national at Unadilla, the Legends and Heroes Tour will host the Team Cup Challenge. This isyour chance to be “Full Factory” and actually race on a team led by your favorite legend for bragging rights to the MX Rewind L&H Team Cup!
Here is how it’ll work: Each champion will be a team manager along with the four racers sponsoring each legend’s Team Cup Challenge participation. The team will race in their respective classes throughout theweekend. A track walk with the champ and his team will take place Friday afternoon, with the champs showing riders the fastest lines, talking team strategy, and maybe even coaching you on your podium victory speech! This will make for a fantastic photo op for team and group pictures.
On Friday night you’ll hang out with the champ and your team during the evening’s “team meeting”. On Saturday, each of the 4 racers on the champ’s team will race their respected class motos and repeat the same on Sunday. The Champs will ride in their own exhibition class on Saturday aboard a vintage machine and on Sunday on a post-vintage bike (one moto each day for the champs). Your team will supply the bikes for your champ, and you’ll get to pit for your champion, too. Points will be tabulated based on your team members’ best 2 moto finishes each day plus the champ’s exhibition race. The champs will get Start Points for their participation for both days and this will be tabulated into the score. As an added twist we’ve added a handicap – the riders’ cumulative ages will count as part of the final score (the oldest team could win!).
The Legends and Heroes Team Cup Challenge entry fee is $500.00 per team member. Your money will be used to help subsidize the champ and their spouse’s travel and accommodation expenses for the weekend. In return, each team racer will get the following swag from our premier sponsors:
-JT Racing
A full set of race gear to include Jersey, Pants and Gloves a $300.00+ value
-Race tool kit
- Oils and Lubricants Race Kit
-Racing Accessories Hard Parts
-FMF Race Pack
-Moto Retro Illustrated magazine and a 1-year subscription plus all six back issues
-PLUS A limited-edition 2012 Team Cup Challenge race jersey.
Value? Priceless! |
