The AMA Pro Hillclimb season will see some exciting changes in 2015, including a brand new venue to kick off the fresh campaign.
The season will begin May 30, when riders head south to Tennessee and the Buffalo Valley Hillclimb at Middle Tennessee Dragway. The venue will offer a new experience for participants and fans, alike. The race will coincide with the Tennessee State HOG (Harley Owners' Group) Rally, promising the area's first taste of AMA Pro Hillclimb will be steeped in excitement.
The next two rounds will see the series return to Pennsylvania. On June 7, White Rose Motorcycle Club in Spring Grove, Pa. plays host to the series. The hill was redesigned prior to the 2014 event, and returned to its original layout, much to the excitement of riders and fans, who appreciate the balance of speed and air it provides.
On June 14, AMA Pro Hillclimb will go to Freemansburg, Pa., to be hosted by the Bushkill Valley Motorcycle Club, which also made improvements to the hill to further challenge riders.
Round 4, slated for June 17, will see the series move to Canaan, N.H., where Ridge Runner Promotions will host the All Star Challenge during the renowned Laconia Bike Week. Sticking to tradition, the race will be held on a Wednesday. Year-after-year, fans come from Laconia to Canaan to witness, first-hand, the thrilling nitromethane-fueled action as part of their time at the rally.
Ogemaw Hills Bike Week in West Branch, Mich., will be kicked off by AMA Pro Hillclimb's Round 5 on July 19. The new schedule arrangement will allow both events to prosper with bike week activities moved back.
After a small break, the series rolls back to Pennsylvania's Bushkill Valley Motorcycle Club on Sept. 13. It's a return to the event's original date, the second Sunday in September.
The second stop of the year at the White Rose Motorcycle Club comes Sept. 27, and that event will be held in conjunction with the White Rose Thunder Rally and Harley-Davidson open house held in nearby York, Pa. The on-hill action provides plenty of entertainment for enthusiasts in town for the rally.
The series will once again wrap up its schedule and crown its champions at The Staircase at the Dayton Motorcycle Club in Oregonia, Ohio on Oct. 11 in an event with plenty of tradition.
