With close to 700 race entries AHRMA’s Executive Director, Dave Lamberth deemed the first Road America Vintage Motorcycle Classic a definite success! The Road America’s Vintage Motorcycle Classic – was held June 11-13, 2010 at Elkhart Lake’s Road America Race Course in the heart of Wisconsin’s farmland. The Road America’s Vintage Motorcycle Classic met its goal to stimulate the senses of every vintage motorcycle enthusiast by providing one bucolic location to view road racing, vintage and post vintage motocross, trials and cross country. Road race entries were up over 15% over 2009 and off road entries were better than expected for the first year of combined disciplines. Although the weather was unforgiving an estimated 5000 spectators enjoyed the variety of activities offered over the three days. This year’s events included a Moving Bike Show sponsored by Motorcycle Classics Magazine and a Classic Swap Meet. Date for next years event will be announced later this summer. About AHRMA If you are crazy about old competition motorcycles-whether roadracers, flat trackers, motocrossers, trials iron or woods bikes-then you have certainly come to the right place. That’s what the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association is all about, Fun on Old Wheels. AHRMA is a celebration of the competition motorcycles of yesterday, as well as the legendary riders who made history aboard these machines. Where possible, AHRMA rounds out this historic experience by recreating the types of race courses these machines were used on. In particular, motocross tracks and observed trials sections both have changed dramatically since these motorcycles were new, but AHRMA steps back to the way it was “back then.” We make sure racing takes place in an environment that is safe, fair and friendly. A not-for-profit organization of approximately 4,700 members, AHRMA is the largest vintage-racing group in North America and quite possibly the biggest in the world. Our roots extend back to efforts to organize vintage roadracing during the late 1970s in the Northeast. In the early ’80s, other groups began emerging around the nation, adding scrambles, observed trials, dirt track and concours events to the competition options available for vintage riders.
