Three event highlights
1 Now in its 16th year, contenders will come from as far as California and Canada to take on the toughest hill in the sport – Poags Hole hill at 500 feet tall and at an 80-degree angle.
2 Poags Hole is a professional motorcycle hillclimb which will feature 10-feet long, 300 horsepower nitro-methane powered motorcycles, plus regular-sized bikes competing side-by-side in an x-climb.
3 Unlike other venues for the sport, Poags Hole promotes this festival as a family-friendly event. But note that pets, bottles, fireworks, trailers and campers are prohibited.
