AMA Racing Announces
Changes to Hillclimb Championship, 2007 Schedule Announced
AMA Pro Racing press release
AMA Pro Racing announced today major changes
to the AMA Hillclimb Championship. Beginning with the 2007
racing season the championship will feature three separate
classes. Xtreme Hillclimb, Unlimited Hillclimb and new for the
championship, Pro Sport Hillclimb.
The changes come at the conclusion of a series of meetings with
the stakeholders including the AMA Hillclimb Rules Committee,
riders, promoters and manufacturers, among others.
The Xtreme Hillclimb class will consist of 0-600cc
multi-cylinder two or four strokes, 0-700cc overhead-cam
twin-cylinder four strokes, 451cc-700cc single-cylindercyliner
two or four strokes and 0-750cc push-rod twin-cylinder four
stroke motorcycles. For the 2007 season only, other push-rod
twins of larger displacement that were used in competition
during the 2006 season may be “grandfathered” into this class.
Motorcycles with engine displacements of 701cc-unlimited any
number of cylinders, two or four strokes, and 751cc-unlimited
push rod twins can compete in the Unlimited Hillclimb class.
Pro Sport Hillclimb, new for the championship, will have
400cc-450cc four stroke, single-cylinder engines. Riders
competing in this class must hold a current Pro Sport license.
Ken Saillant, AMA Racing Flat Track Director said, “We’re very excited about the ’07 AMA Hillclimb season,
especially with the addition of the 450 Pro Sport Hillclimb
class. This class offers a great opportunity for riders who
traditionally have not participated in Hillclimb to come
onboard.”
