I’m ready for a fun, short getaway trip this weekend! As I searched for local things to do, I stumbled upon hearing about the third round of the MotoAmerica Road Racing Series being hosted at the VIRginia International Raceway in Danville, VA from May 15-17. MotoAmerica is a professional racing series created in 2014, and sanctioned by the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) and the Federation of International Motorcycling (FIM) North America.

This event is perfect for what I was looking for and convenient for my needs of a day trip and mini vacation. It’s a family friendly environment, and only one hour away from the Raleigh area. The MotoAmerica event will include two full days of racing – a double-header event for the Superbike, Superstock 1000, Supersport and Superstock 600 classes, plus other support races. I’ve always been an huge motorcycle racing fan, but never had an opportunity to experience seeing a live race. To know there will be Superbikes racing at speeds of nearly 200 mph on a world-class race track such as VIR excites me to no end! Also VIR is ranked as one of the top tracks in the world by numerous racing publications.

In my research I also discovered that VIR is actually a full vacation destination itself. It boosts everything for a fun-filled action packed getaway such as full hotel, shooting sports, a spa, restaurants, off roading, golf cart team activities, skid pad and more in a beautiful country setting. I’m definitely planning on taking advantage of the wonderful amenities. Motorcycle racing and a spa! What more could a girl ask for?
Now that I’ve bragged about how much fun I’m going to have this weekend, let’s get down to the details of the giveaway. I’d like to give you an opportunity to go to the MotoAmerica event too.

Wow…I would have never known that AMA or should I refer to it be it’s new name MotoAmerica, which is easier to remember since I’m also a MotoGP fan, was coming to VIR. Thanks Ultimate Fashionista! The Ultimate Fashionista is really on top of all events not just fashion I see. It would be a dream come true to be able to watch a MotoAmerica race in person and at VIR who could ask for anything better. VIR is easy to get to, great for spectators and you get to see some real live racing by the pros. Too bad Nick Hayden is no longer with AMA…but that goes to show that MotoAmerica is the real thing!!
Thanks for your comment. So glad you’re a motorcycle racing fan like me!
I’m so impressed that you are taking advantage of the beauty of Virginia and this fantastic motorcycle event. Born and raised in neighboring West Virginia I know how passionate men and women are about motorcycles and the racing events. It runs through the veins of the participant and sparks interest in those who are not yet involved with bikes. The adrenaline, the speed, the skill! After putting in 50plus hours this work week nothing would thrill me more than to head to the countryside for the thrill of the sound of a motorcycle and to give support for all riders.
You are a true gem and I know you’ll look like a million bucks attending this captivating event.
Share the rode this summer…give them space and save lives. Muah!!!!
Thanks for your comment. It should be an exciting event!
