@AMA Pro #Hillclimb set to open 2015 season at new venue in #BuffaloValley, Tenn.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (May 27, 2015) - The season opener of the 2015 AMA Pro Hillclimb Series will get underway Saturday, May 30 with the added excitement of taking place at a new venue in Tennessee.
Middle Tennessee Dragway will host the Round 1 of the season in Buffalo Valley, Tenn. The event is being run in conjunction with the Tennessee HOG (Harley Owners Group) Rally, meaning bikers and local fans are going to witness to what promises to be one of the most the exciting starts to the series in recent years.
"The Tennessee HOG Rally is extremely proud to partner with the AMA Pro Hillclimb Championship Series and Buffalo Valley Dragway," said Gary Bagwell, Tennessee HOG Rally Coordinator. "The Tennessee HOG Rally has a wonderful history of producing great rides, skills events and entertainment for Harley Owners Group members. This year is no exception with the Pro Hillclimb's first ever visit to Tennessee. Thousands of HOG members will be in attendance at this great event."
The hill will be a new challenge for every rider, as none of the current competitors have had the chance to try to tackle it. With no practice or qualifying in hillclimbing, the riders' first run will be the first time they have tested out the bikes, not only on the hill in Buffalo Valley, but on any hill in 2015. This event could set the tone for season-long championship battles with one rider coming out on top and putting points between themselves and their rivals.
"It is always exciting to bring new races to the series schedule," said Amanda Campbell, Director of AMA Pro Hillclimb. "Tennessee was a perfect fit with a great facility and a fan base that is new to hillclimbing. The event will bring a new passion to the sport."
