AHRMA Board
meeting is July 20, 2009 at the Holiday Inn
Express - Medina, Ohio. The phone number is
330-723-4994. The schedule of the meeting is on page
9 of the June VV and in the July VV issue.
Billy Spahr # 6c, from the Northeast, has put up
a new web site. The website is
www.classicvintagemotorcycles.com.
Take a look at it. Still under construction, but
it's up and running. Billy's idea is as follows "I
will not be selling anything. It does have some "google"
ads, but they are not going to get me that new
Ferrari any time soon. I will never ask members to
click the ads. (unless they find one they want to).
The mission of the site is to try and join a divided
community of vintage motorcyclists. Example: a guy
who road races might not know anything about the off
road activities available. And vise versa.
Hopefully we can get the riders to send in stories,
photos, notices etc, so it will be a place they
check back to often.
All the best to Billy.

Road Racers - Luke Conner, injured at
Grattan, sent a note to the staff at AHRMA. He is
doing much better and is working on the bike to be
ready for with races in the West. He is planning to
be at VIR but will be a "pit monkey". Luke wrote, in
part, "I
have been involved with many organizations all of my
life, from being an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts,
to refereeing football in the NCAA and National
Federation, SCCA racing cars, IMSA racing dirt
cars, and hunting and fishing guiding for the old
American Sportsman Club. I have never felt as much
a part of an organization as I do with AHRMA. You
guys and gals are the best, most fun, most
passionate and most compassionate group of people I
have ever gotten to know and become part of and I
know that goes for Barbara too." Thanks Luke,
see you soon.

Road Racers - We are working on the year to
date (YTD) points standings. We have noticed some
problems with racers having multiple entries in a
class. This is usually due to a racer using more
then one bike number. Stan has a solution and we are
working on problem.

Bank of America Credit Card -
If you have a B of A credit card and use it to
charge your AHRMA entry fees AHRMA will receive a
rebate as part of the B of A/AHRMA affinity program.
It does not cost you anything but will result in a

Smith Road Raceway (VMX
and PVMX) is one of the longest
continuously-running MX tracks in North America,
holding motocross races since 1971. The track also
ran TT scrambles events for several years prior to
1971. The natural terrain course is virtually the
same as it was in the seventies, with the exception
of a state-of the art irrigation system and track
maintenance equipment. The park-like pit area can
hold 400 riders and features several pressure
washers and a fishing pond.
