Bagger Racing Returns to AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days

AMA Amateur National Bagger Championship classes in partnership with
Bagger Racing League running Saturday at Mid-Ohio

PICKERINGTON, OH – July 15, 2025 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – After a phenomenal inaugural year, the American Motorcyclist Association and Bagger Racing League will crown even more champions at Permco AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days presented by Turn 14 Distribution, as big V-twin engines and fully-faired bagger motorcycles take to the famed 2.4-mile road course at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course in Lexington, Ohio.

AMA-chartered promoter Bagger Racing League (BRL) will partner with the AMA and WERA to promote and operate two amateur championship classes this year — Production Stock and Super Street — and the two classes will race together on Saturday, after which two champions will be crowned.

“Fans loved the thrill of seeing these roaring racing machines take to the track last year,” said BRL founder Rob Buydos, “and it’s a real honor to be back again in 2025 to award AMA No. 1 plates to BRL competitors at such a prestigious event.”

Aside from Bagger competition, AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days will serve up a massive schedule of vintage motorcycle racing with the AMA’s organizing partner WERA Motorcycle Roadracing.

“Mid-Ohio’s 2.4-mile road course, featuring legendary Keyhole and Carousel sections, will be home to a full roster of vintage road racing during AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days,” said AMA Director of Racing Mike Pelletier. “Classes include everything from non-current superbikes to sidecar rigs to pre-war racers, modern machines and everything in between. WERA Motorcycle Roadracing continues to work hard to grow and support this program, and the AMA appreciates their efforts.”
