CMRA Congratulates Its 2013 Sprint Champions and Danny Kelsey, New Overall Number 1 Plate Holder The Central Motorcycle Roadracing Association (CMRA) honored its 2013 sprint champions at its annual awards banquet, held this past Saturday, November 16, 2013 at the Waco Convention Center, in Waco, Texas. The CMRA would like to congratulate our competitors, sponsors, and spectators for making 2013 such an exciting season for the Texas-based club. Record-setting entries and fierce competition brought the CMRA to a whole new level. Danny Kelsey rode his Suzuki GSX-R750 and 1000 to the overall club championship, bringing home the Number One Plate and five individual sprint class championships in A Superstock Expert, A Superbike Expert, B Superstock Expert, B Superbike Expert, Formula 1 Expert, and second in Solo 30 HW. The evening included other special awards as well. Ty Howard was inducted into the CMRA Hall Of Fame for his contributions to the sport, both on and off the track. Ty joins previous CMRA Hall of Fame inductees including: Colin Edwards, Brooks Gremmels, David Hirsch, Jamie James, Lou Linden, Ronnie Lunsford, Norm and Sam McDonald, Laroy Montgomery, Doug Polen, Kevin Schwantz, Freddie Spencer, Ben Spies, Britt Turkington and the Brothers Family. The 2013 Claire McMahan Extra Mile Award was presented to Fred and Zac Chapman for their ongoing support and inspiration to the CMRA membership. Fred is the CMRA Track Chaplain, so he and Zac make it their mission to attend every CMRA event. The Rookie Expert Award went to Bobby Davies.
