Chairman of the Board

is to promote “AHRMA Pride” with unique quality products representative of what it means to be an AHRMA member. Although starting conservatively, we will be adding inventory and selections as time progresses. Check it out today!

And then there is COVID-19. Not knowing the health risks, economic damage, calendar of government shutdowns and reopenings, travel restrictions, etc., this has created a scheduling nightmare for our directors and leadership. Nevertheless, we continue forward with a positive attitude hoping to get back to the track in the not-to-distant future. Your EC is working on a COVID-19 Compliance Plan to help us get back to racing as soon as possible.

With the heavy lifting behind me (hopefully), I look forward to getting my bikes ready and joining you all on the track in the remainder of 2020! Of course, these are only my highlights. Yes, I’ve been busy, but none of these accomplishments could have been made without the support and hard work of many AHRMA volunteers, staff and trustees who have embraced “One AHRMA” and stepped up to the plate. We’re just now getting started. Stay tuned and hang on! One-AHRMA

Your opinion matters!

Thank you to those 1071(!) members who swiftly responded to our recent poll regarding going racing. Those same members shared 440 comments with us as well. We read them all.

You liked being asked for your input, and we appreciated receiving it. The individual perspectives were a pleasure, except for the two or three that were kinda weird. Our conclusions are as follows:

In short, members are eager to go racing and equally eager to adhere to safety guidelines, resulting in us canceling what is right in front of us and keeping options open for scheduled events later this year.

An example of the complex challenge to racing at this time: several states require a visitor from another state to be immediately quarantined for 14 days upon arrival in the new state. Imagine 100 racers trying to talk their way into the paddock after just driving across a few states. The officers of your Board of Trustees and AHRMA's senior staff may hold future polls as conditions change.

Just a cool race bike.

Like everyone else, we want to go racing as soon as we can, without endangering ourselves or others.

See y'all at the track... sooner or later.
