VOL. 55 ISSUE 20 MAY 22, 2018 P39 MOTOCLIMB SUPER SERIES ANNOUNCED M otorcycle hillclimbing in the United States has a new championship title to fight for this year, with the newly formed Motoclimb Super Series. Four promoters of four respected hillclimb events across the country have partnered their outlaw races together to form this century-old sport's only coast-to-coast series. The following four events will make up the series: 1. Brick Min – July 8 Walhalla, ND 2. The East/West Shootout – July 15 Bay City, WI 3. Poags Hole – August 19 Dansville, NY 4. IRC Carnegie Classic – October 6-7 Tracy, CA The Championship title will be based off two classes, X Climb/Verticross (450cc bracket racing) and Open (600cc+) and will ultimately determine who is the best Motoclimb athlete in the country. For decades, the sport has been separated by several pro series on different sides of the United States, so the Motoclimb Super Series will bring the top riders of both coasts together to face off at some of the best hills in the country.
