otoAmerica, in conjunc-
tion with Elevated Action
Sports, says it is bringing hill-
climb competition to the Geico
Motorcycle MotoAmerica Su-
perbike Speedfest at Monterey
round at WeatherTech Raceway
Laguna Seca in Monterey, Cali-
fornia, October 23-25.
Hillclimbers will attempt to
tame the hill that houses the
famous Corkscrew at Weath-
erTech Raceway Laguna Seca.
The Speedfest Motoclimb will
be held on Saturday, October
24. The event will be produced
by Elevated Action Sports (EAS),
an extreme moto company
based in the San Francisco
Bay area that has been hosting
motoclimb and extreme enduro
races since 2015.
The Speedfest Motoclimb
will feature classes for many
different types of motorcycles
from minis to hooligan bikes and
everything in between. Although
the event will not feature pro
classes, several nationally
ranked pro hillclimbers will be
invited to perform for the fans on
their high-performance, high-
horsepower open bikes.
"We were shocked and
honored when MotoAmerica ap-
proached Elevated Action Sports
with this opportunity to host a
Motoclimb race at WeatherTech
Raceway Laguna Seca," said
Matt Musgrove, owner of EAS.
"When I met with Wayne [Rainey,
MotoAmerica President] months
ago at the track, I was overlook-
ing the Pacific Ocean while
above the Corkscrew sign, and I
couldn't believe running a moto-
climb up that hill was a reality."
"We are really excited to have
the Motoclimb event as part
of our Geico Motorcycle Mo-
toAmerica Superbike Speedfest
at Monterey," said MotoAmerica
President Wayne Rainey. "It's
going to be a show, that's for
sure. I can't wait to see the
smiles on our fans' faces when
they watch these guys and girls
attack that hill that they've previ-
ously only seen spectators walk
on." CN
Hillclimb competition
will be a part of the
MotoAmerica weekend at
Laguna Seca in October.
