2008 AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days at Mid-Ohio
Dates July 25-27. This years (2008) featured marque being honored is TRIUMPH.
Is anybody else planning on going?
Man.......if the Triumph factory truck doesn't show up at this one.......someone in marketing at Triumph America is brain dead! Triumph should pull out all the stops and arrange to have a bunch of historic Triumph (I know, I know....they're Meriden not Hinckley) race bikes etc there on display. When MV Agusta was featured two years ago they brought in Giacomo Agostini and he signed autographs and did laps around the track on one of his old race bikes. Cool as h#ll.
I'm going to check into camping with the Brit Bike group again if they have room. A good friend of mine knows a bunch of those guys and we had a blast with them a couple years ago. Vintage racing on the Mid-Ohio road course all weekend and you can stroll through the pits. Rode down to the nearby dirt track with a big bunch of Brit Bike guys and watched dirt track racing one night. Huge, huge swap meet, but it gets pretty picked over if you don't get there early. Good toilets and hot showers (mens and womens) at the campground, but usually a line for the showers in the morning. Several cafes/church groups around that cater to feeding the motorcycle crowd. If you're going to book a local hotel do it early!
