Jimmy Pooler – 2025 AHRMA Trustee Candidate – East

For those of you who do not know me, my name is Jimmy Pooler and well let’s start at the beginning. I started attending AHRMA racing in the mid 90’s with my dad Neil Pooler 373, he started road racing in the late 90’s and when I turned 18, I joined AHRMA and started racing vintage motocross on my junk yard special Can-Am. I then started riding trails and racing flattrack. A year later I tried roadracing on a swap meet special Honda MTR-125. I really grew to enjoy road racing both the MTR and a SV650. This gave me the opportunity to race with my dad and uncle and over the years we had a great time racing all over the USA. AHRMA has given me the opportunity to race at many amazing facilities and with many great riders.

While racing with AHRMA I also attended college becoming a mechanical engineer and then started an HVAC manufacturing business that I still run today. Also during that time, I met my wife (Julie), got married and had two kids, Eleanor and Lewis. This has given me the opportunity to be a member of AHRMA as first son of a participant, then a participant myself, as an aspiring pro (ish racer), a husband and father.

Today I spend much of my time riding vintage motocross and flattrack. With the kids schedule I do not have the opportunity to attend as many roadrace events as I would like but still get out to 2 or 3 events per year. I am on the vintage roadrace rule committee and have a true passion for the history of motorcycles. I also assist the AHRMA flattrack series as needed. Over the years I have worked with several other motorcycle clubs helping them to develop vintage classes and developing safety standards.

If elected to the board of trustees, I will work hard to represent all members and to ensure the financial sustainability of the organization. This includes retaining and attracting new members, holding profitable events and helping guide the organization into the future. To ensure that AHRMA is around for perpetuity we will need to ensure that all disciplines offroad and onroad are well represented.

A good friend Dan Hankle once told me that AHRMA is a conglomeration of everyone’s crazy uncles. He was right. When I started, I had dozens of crazy uncles and now I am one of those crazy uncles. Please get out and vote for your favorite crazy uncle!
