I joined AHRMA in 1995, have been a Western Trustee since 2009 and served as the Northwest Regional Coordinator for Off-road for the last several years. As Secretary and a member of the Executive Committee for the last two years I have worked closely with the Executive Director in moving AHRMA forward.
The opening paragraph of the AHRMA Handbook states, “The American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association is a member-owned nonprofit association dedicated to enhancing the sport of historic motorcycle racing and the enjoyment of riders and spectators. The purpose of all historic motorcycle racing is to provide an appropriate environment for and to showcase competition among classic and certain special-interest clubman and grand prix racing motorcycles”. As a result of adhering both to that statement and to the mission statements for each discipline, AHRMA is the largest and most successful vintage racing group in North America, and the only group with both roadrace and off-road events.
As Trustee my goal has been to ensure that AHRMA remains focused on its primary purpose—to provide an appropriate environment for competition of vintage and historic motorcycles. The continued success of our association does not require momentous change or drastic reform but moving forward in incremental steps with competent and consistent oversight. If reelected I will continue working to ensure that AHRMA continues to be a highly successful historic motorcycle racing organization.
