The Dick Mann Team Challenge is based on teams made up of one competitor from each AHRMA competition discipline. Team members are selected at random from the group of AHRMA members who registered for the Team Challenge. The results of individual team member performance at selected ARHMA events during 2021 will determine the winning team.
Team members were selected from the Vintage Motocross Premier 500 class, the Observed Trials Premier Heavy Weight and Light Weight classes, the Dirt Track Seventies Singles and 750 Sportsman classes, the Cross Country Premier and Classic classes and the Road Racing 500 Premier class.
Five teams are competing in the 2021 Dick Mann Team Challenge:
Team A includes Luke Sayer in Cross Country on a 1956 TriBSA 650, Beno Rodi in Dirt Track on a 1967 Norton P11, Ron Melton in Road Racing on a 1962 Norton, Rob Poole in Observed Trials on a 1957 Ariel 500, and Ronald Smith in Vintage Motocross on a 1971 Triumph 500.

To level the playing field, each team’s score will include only the top four points-scorers for the season, dropping the lowest scoring member. This change will make it easier for all teams to remain competitive in the event they lose a member mid-season.
