AMA Hillclimb grand championship back
on track

The 2020 AMA Hillclimb Grand Championship has been rescheduled for Sept. 19-20 at the Pioneer Motorcycle Club in Waterford, Ohio.

The event, originally planned for Aug. 7-9 in Wisconsin’s Pierce County, was canceled in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

To comply with the AMA’s requirement that a COVID-19 mitigation plan be in place, Pioneer Motorcycle Club President Les Wolfe and the WCHD are mandating health checks, face masks, social distancing, hand sanitizers, appropriate signage and a spectator ban.

Each year, the nation’s top amateur hillclimb racers, on motorcycles and ATVs, compete at the grand championship event for AMA No. 1 plates, as well as vie for awards recognizing the AMA Hillclimb Racer of the Year, AMA Vet/Senior Hillclimb Racer of the Year and AMA Youth Hillclimb Racer of the Year.
