Dustin Foretich, 2026 AHRMA Trustee Candidate – East

I would like to officially introduce myself to the AHRMA family and request the opportunity to represent the Eastern region as a Trustee.

I’m the father of two epic sons. Owen is attending Pellissippi College, Emmitt is attending Auburn. I’ve been married to the lovely, understanding, patient, kind and WAY out of my league, Tricia for 26 years. We live in Franklin, TN.

I’ve been riding motorcycles since I was old enough to throw a leg over one. I dd not start my road racing career until late in life. I was introduced to the Thruxton Cup Challenge family in 2008. I was immediately taken in by a group of men who went out of their way to ensure I felt included and comfortable in this new endeavor. AHRMA has changed the trajectory of my life and my family’s lives forever.

My sons grew up in the paddock surrounded by men, mentors, who took care of them in every way. The paddock was our campfire where life lessons were learned. My sons saw firsthand their Dad failing/succeeding on/off the track and how my fellow TCC racers held me up, and I did the same for them. Time and time again I watch my fellow racers pour into my boys @ the track. Taking the time to teach and listen to them. Valuable beyond measure to boys becoming men.

It’s time to give back. I’m not a politician and I will never pretend I know more than I do. I will do everything in my power to ensure every AHRMA member has the best possible experience when they show up @ a race and/or reach out to an AHRMA official with a question.

I’ve been fortunate enough to hold a national championship in AHRMA and WERA/AMA. I know firsthand what it takes to accomplish such a goal and will apply those same principles to my role as a Trustee.

I’ve been a Director of Production in the advertising industry for over 20 years project managing budgets in the millions for blue chip clients. I hope to add value to the revenue and marketing aspects of AHRMA.

A personal mission will be to grow AHRMA while maintaining the family experience I fell in love with. Youth is our future. AHRMA dies if we do not invest in the next generation of racers. I want to create programs @ the high school level that get young men and women building and racing. I will ask our family of members to share their depth of knowledge with this younger generation, so it is not lost when we pass on. Each of us has a legacy of knowledge that is worth sharing.

I’ve watched firsthand how racing has changed my eldest son’s life. He started racing WERA @ the age of 12 and moved over to AHRMA as soon as he turned 18. We need to lower the age limit to ensure those young teens call AHRMA their racing home.

Let’s move AHRMA forward strategically
