Kurt Obermeier, 2025 AHRMA Trustee Candidate – West

Hi Everyone- My name is Kurt Obermeyer and after racing AHRMA and various other race series on the West Coast over the past 5 years in both PVMX and Cross Country and now purchasing my first vintage road bike for the 2025 season, I am happy to be running for Western Region Trustee for the upcoming 3 year seat.

While the thrill and challenge of racing is what pulled me into all of these series, the issues of growth and sustainability has become a challenge from my perspective for all of vintage motorcycle racing. I have watched as more friends and competitors have stopped racing due to injuries, age, or, in a lot of cases, frustration over the running of events and witnessed the organizers of other series unable to better plan for growth internally, unlike what AHRMA’s further potential certainly is as a series.
I have worked on West Region events with board members and race coordinators, most notably on the newest Cheney Ranch location and would enjoy expanding that work on not only further events, but the business end of how best to continue to make AHRMA the series is certainly has the potential to be.

Having spent a career in Public and private administration with multiple terms in Non Profit Board seats, I want to be able to best use my experience to best serve this amazing platform of racing that we all enjoy- and not just for us now for growth moving forward so that younger riders can experience the feeling of racing vintage motorcycles in whatever class in an efficient, fun, and available series. As a former Executive Director and CFO in both public and private sectors (from City Management to working as an outsourced consultant for law firms), I believe my administrative and strategic background will allow for an even, thoughtful, and wise perspective on how best to work with the Board.

I appreciate your vote for the upcoming Trustee Seat and look forward to assisting in any capacity that I can. Thank you.
