Carl Anderson, 2023 AHRMA Trustee Candidate – East

Greetings AHRMA members! I have been involved in AHRMA since 1997, participating mainly in roadracing, but also dirt track and a bit of MX. I retired this year from 35 years in aerospace, including 18 years with the space shuttle program. I’m excited to have more time for motorcycles.

I was an AHRMA trustee from 2011-2019, which included time on the executive committee and as chairman. At that point I was satisfied that I had served the organization well, and that it was someone else’s turn. However, in recent months, members have asked me to consider spending some more time making my years of experience useful in service to the organization that has given so many fond memories and great times to me.

If it is the desire of the AHRMA members for me to do so, I will be honored to take on the task once again as your trustee. My objectives will be straightforward: to protect the solvency and longevity of the organization, to adhere to its mission statements and see that they are carried out, and to introduce the wonders of vintage motorcycle competition to as many new enthusiasts as I can. I believe my experience as a racer and trustee will allow me to understand what the members expect in terms of venues, services, officiating and rulemaking.

I was involved in the leadership of AHRMA during the time in which we recovered from bankruptcy. It required lean spending and wise decision making. I believe AHRMA can continue to prosper based upon some of our event turnouts, even in the face of an inflation impaired economy. If I am elected, I will do my best to make that happen.
