Barber 2025 By the Numbers

Ihave had a week to recover from the 2025 Barber Vintage Festival, and I have been trying to gather my thoughts on paper. The work to be done after an event of this magnitude takes on many different faces. We like to recap with each discipline and discuss the strengths and weaknesses, reconcile all the financial details, and talk about what will make the event even better next year. Barber is a special place, and the Barber Vintage Festival is a special event. There is nothing else like it in the world, and AHRMA is privileged to have been part of it for over 20 years.

While AHRMA Road Race has been at the Barber Festival every year since inception, Off-Road and Dirt Track have only recently been part of the festivities. I have worked diligently over the past 3 years to make this a truly multi-disciplined event. There have been some compromises based on the limits of the facility, but overall, I believe it is a beautiful environment to work with. Each year it gets better, and I expect even more improvements for 2026.

Road Race has been coming to the festival the longest, so it is no surprise that they top the attendance numbers. 278 individual AHRMA members entered 1064 races on Saturday and Sunday, with 244

practice entries on Thursday and another 230 practicing on Friday. We filled 273 paddock spots, with only 2 unfilled. We sold 191 paddock camping spots and 73 power spots, with only 1 unfilled. Now that is maximum capacity on the track and in the paddock! Leasha Overturf delivered a near perfect weekend of racing, and Michelle Fisher and her team managed the paddock perfectly.

Off-Road was split between Trials and Cross Country in Lot C, and Motocross in Lot G. Debbie Poole and her team ran a great Trials event with a record 64 entrants. This event has been gaining attendance post COVID, hitting 62 on Day 1 of the 2021 event (when there were two days of trials at Barber), and 52 in 2022. Pre-COVID entries ranged from the mid-40’s to low 50’s.

The Cross-Country Friday event saw about 58 entries in Vintage, and about 71 in the afternoon Post Vintage event for a total of about 129 overall entries. Henry Gregorich and Kelly Shane put on a great show, and the course was beautifully laid out.

Our second year on the new Motocross track did not disappoint the racers. We had 146 Vintage racers and 204 race entries, and Post Vintage attracted 121 racers across 174 race entries. Thanks to Albert Newman and Allen McWilliams for

creating a memorable weekend.

Finally, our recently restructured AHRMA Dirt/Flat Track program ran races on both Saturday and Sunday at the Barber Proving grounds. Kaitlynn Osberg stepped in to run a tight program on both days with over 20 riders and 50+ race entries. Look for AHRMA to collaborate more in 2026 with Kaitlynn and her HDRT Team.

Barber wraps up the 2025 season for Road Race and Dirt Track, while OffRoad still has Farm 14 and Henryetta to complete. I want to again thank Ed Roman for being a great partner in crime, the Board of Trustees and Executive Committee for their guidance, and the Barber staff for trusting in AHRMA to bring a premier vintage race program to their festival. Time to start thinking about 2026…

2025: That’s a wrap!

From my 30+ years in photo and video production there was nothing better than yelling out “IT’S A WRAP!” at the end of a long photoshoot or ad campaign. But, in motorcycle racing it leaves you feeling a bit melancholy.

It feels like 2025 was over in the blink of an eye. It was a great season full of many ups along with a few downs. Best of all, we came together to keep making AHRMA the best it can be. I’m so very thankful for our community! Race weekends are made up more than just racing, it is also friends, family, food and fun!

As we enter the off season I will be continuing to plan for a fantastic 2026 and start my search for new tracks to get AHRMA to in 2027. Working with my Road Race Committee we will collaborate on ideas and challenges. Safety collaboration will be continued with the Safety Committee, and our Membership Committee will continue

bringing ideas to the table for new members, new mentors and moving AHRMA forward.

November is the month of being thankful, but let’s all work to carry that idea forward all year long. Whether you have an issue with your motorcycle or an issue with another racer, be thankful you get to be at the racetrack, going fast and having fun. Being thankful helps to clear your mind for new ideas and collaboration.

Speaking of being thankful, I love my team and I’m so very thankful for

their support and knowledge. And I’m very thankful for the support of all the racers!

Here’s to an even faster, friendlier, and more unforgettable 2026. Let’s ride into it together!

A Busy Fall Season and a Big Thank You to Our Volunteers

What a month it has been. The fall calendar is always packed with racing and good racing venues, and this year was no different. We just finished with Barber Vintage Festival and all the off-road racing was spectacular. To pull off this large event it takes a large number of volunteers and they came through again. I must thank Mark Sturtevant for all the trials coordination and Henry Gregorich for all the cross country coordination. For motocross, thanks to Troy Howell for pulling together a great team for everything from marking a parking lot to scoring and flagging. If you see these folks, please tell them thank you for all their efforts.

For Barber all our off-road disciplines had good attendance, mirroring the 2024 event in terms of participation. In the weeks leading up to the invite, word spread across regional and statewide vintage racing communities: this would be a race to attend. Ultimately over 550 entries were taken over the threeday period, which was the highest multi-discipline event of the season. Our road racing brethren had a very successful weekend, and once again the racer limit was met each day over in their paddocks! We recognize

areas of improvements made for 2025 and we are already underway to improve some of the items that could/should be better in the future.

Our volunteerism has been noticed. Please continue to offer up your skills when you can, even if it’s just for a couple of hours. Finding people competent at the organizing and execution of trials, cross country, and motocross isn’t something you run across everyday, particularly in the vintage realm.

As mentioned last month, we are looking for regional coordinators for the Great Lakes Region and the Rocky Mountain Region. Reach out if you’re interested or want to learn more about the skillsets needed and time requirements.

As a closing reminder, we are working on the event calendar for 2026 and hope to share in late November/early December.

Let’s have some fun now!

Dustin Foretich - 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.

mark morrison - east

Thank you for considering me for trustee. My name is Mark Morrison. I live in central Illinois where I retired from 42 years at the nation’s largest personal lines insurer. I am passionate about racing vintage motorcycles and believe I have the skills, and experience needed to successfully serve AHRMA’s membership. I am seeking your vote as an Eastern Trustee for AHRMA.

I bring many valuable skills, experiences, and values as a trustee. I am a longtime avid motorcycle enthusiast. When I was younger I raced motocross, road race currently, and ride and restore both vintage and modern street bikes. Second, I have experience serving on other Boards helping guide their organizations. Finally during my career, I managed many large construction projects which involved critical thinking, working with people, managing resources, budgets, and deadlines.

In my opinion, AHRMA is currently a vibrant and successful Club resulting from solid leadership and member dedication. But there are always ways to make it better. I want to help influence that improvement and give back to AHRMA making a positive and lasting impact.

Hello AHRMA Members,

My name is Colton Roberts, and I’m honored to be running for the position of Eastern Region Trustee. Many of you know me from the paddock. I grew up attending AHRMA Roadrace and Dirt Track events with my dad, Jason, and became a racing member myself in 2016 after earning my road race license at 18. Since then, I’ve been an active competitor in both Road Race and Dirt Track, and I continue to expand my involvement into other off-road disciplines.

Over the past several years, I’ve had the privilege of serving as Vintage Roadrace Rules and Eligibility

My Goals:

1. Continue to build upon the success AHRMA is currently enjoying and lead the strategic development of the Club. Ensure we are forward thinking and dedicated to our mission.

2. Focus on the big picture and how my actions can affect the overall success of the Club.

3. Build relationships with members and trustees. Be open and accessible to member’s feedback, ideas, and concerns. Everyone brings something to the table. Bringing those items to the rest of the Board for discussion and consideration in a positive and supportive way.

4. Demonstrate common sense. Be open to changing my views if the need arises.

5. Give back to the Club and members by serving you and returning the generosity and kindness members have shown me.

6. Be a good steward of Club money, running the Club as efficiently as possible while still meeting our objectives. Allocating Club money frugally as if it was my own.

7. Find additional revenue streams.

Hopefully I can earned your vote. I welcome the opportunity to discuss my qualifications and ideas with members. Please reach out to me with your questions.

Committee Chairman, as well as stepping into the role of Interim Eastern Trustee in 2024. These experiences have given me valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities our organization faces across all disciplines.

As Trustee, my focus is on preserving AHRMA’s vintage spirit while helping the organization grow and adapt to the next generation of riders. I believe in maintaining clear communication between members and leadership, supporting participation, and ensuring AHRMA remains a welcoming, competitive, and fun community for all.

Thank you for your continued support and for allowing me the opportunity to serve this incredible organization that has shaped so much of my life.

Wow, another three years has flown by, and my term is up again. I have had several folks ask if I was going to run again and I answered yes because I believe I still have a lot to give back to the organization and the people that I love.

This will be my third term, and I feel I have learned quite a bit about what makes AHRMA great and what makes it not so great.

I have been a member since 2012 and started as an offroad rider participating in MX and CC. A few years later I gave trials a try and had a blast. After seeing a need I jumped in and started volunteering in tech and then took over the SE offroad coordinator’s

Hello, I’m David Stanton and I am asking for your vote to serve as AHRMA Trustee for the Western Region.

I have been involved in AHRMA for 12 years racing Vintage motocross. I am a Tech Inspector for the Northwest Region, and I also sit on the National Tech Inspector committee. During my time as a member of AHRMA I have witnessed changes, the majority for the good, and I appreciate the hard work and leadership on the part of the current and past Trustees in keeping AHRMA true to its roots while moving forward.

I would be grateful for the opportunity to be part of AHRMA on a National level, supporting all aspects of

position when it became available. Then Kevin Burns persuaded me to give Road Racing a try in 2017 and I found a new passion in the process. I still participate in all four disciplines and volunteer where I can which helps me stay in touch with the many aspects of our organization. I serve on multiple committees such as the Safety , Rider grading, Next Gen MX R&E and The newly formed R&E refinement committee. I have also served on the Executive committee for the last two years as Treasurer.

I believe AHRMA is on a great path going forward and I would like to continue to help make the wheels roll in the right direction.

The members make the difference so please get out and vote for the candidates you believe will make this organization the best it can possibly be.

the sport. After attending the Laguna Seca Road race events, I am excited for the chance to be a supportive part of that community.

During the past 4 decades, I have earned national recognition as a construction safety professional and have lived and worked in multiple regions across the globe. This includes a year in Afghanistan working on projects for our military forces and the Afghanistan government. These experiences have allowed me to develop valuable skills in

understanding and resolving complex issues, something that will help me succeed if elected as a Trustee.

Thank you for your consideration. David Stanton

As the current Chairman of the Board and incumbent Western Region Trustee, it has been my honor to help lead AHRMA through a pivotal time in our organization’s history. I’ve had the privilege of setting and driving the strategic vision that contributed to AHRMA’s recent turnaround—collaborating closely with fellow board members and executive staff to ensure the long-term sustainability and future of our club.

I actively compete in every one of AHRMA’s racing disciplines, giving me a unique, firsthand understanding of the member experience across the board. This perspective, combined with my service as a volunteer on all major AHRMA committees—ranging

from race operations and safety to rules and strategic planning—allows me to approach decision-making with a well-rounded and informed view.

My commitment has always been rooted in transparency, fairness, and a deep respect for our bylaws and mission. I believe in preserving the legacy of our machines, fostering competitive racing opportunities, and—above all—strengthening the sense of community that makes AHRMA so special.

If re-elected, I will continue to serve our membership with the same passion, leadership, and dedication— working to elevate the AHRMA experience for all.

Thank you for your support and I look forward to seeing you at one of our events.

WHY PITT TOPS MY LIST

WORDS BY ERIC WATTS #87 PHOTOS BY ETECHPHOTO.COM, ERIC WATTS, AND CRAIG CHAWLA

marks the second year for AHRMA at what I consider not only one of, but in my opinion the best racetrack for motorcycles in the United States. Yes, there are many contenders, but the facility is world class between the staff who manage it, the garages, overall paddock space, available amenities, and of course the track itself. The quality of the asphalt surface along with dramatic elevation changes make for a technical yet flowing layout and a venue that is hard to beat. It is my hope that we can continue to work towards making this a safe place to race and that we come back to this great track for many

more years!

Friday started like any other AHRMA weekend with the usual morning practice sessions and the Academy of Road Racing School on track as well throughout the day. We have four new racers to my knowledge that continued and raced on the weekend. Racers made the most of the day to get reacquainted with the technical layout of the Pittsburgh International Race Complex. It’s a track that can come up and bite you, so to speak, with its blind crests and learning where to be at all those critical places. It’s a skill that everyone worked on Friday. I know I did anyway, and I had been

to this track multiple times already this season since it is now one of the closest tracks to home. I still work on my reference points and have visual markers throughout the lap. This is not only a key to fast times, but safe racing as well.

On to Saturday! It’s race day! The weather was great with sunny skies and warm temperatures.

Race 1 got underway just after 12:30 PM. I had a bit of a wait until race 6, which was the first race of the day for me in SOT4 on my KTM RC390 against the army of Kawasaki Ninja 400s! It’s always a fun challenge to continue to fight my way to the top of the field in this class. I ended up having

a great race and battle with Greg Glevicky, also on a KTM RC390, for most of the race as we exchanged positions without breaking maneuvers against one another into turn 1 and 3 several times! It’s always great to race with someone you trust and know what they’re going to do, and this race was a perfect example of that. We gave our little 373cc singles all they had for final finishing positions of fifth and sixth, respectively, Greg beating me on the last lap to the line! A first and second of the KTMs with everything in front of us 400s. Meanwhile up front, the two Kevins- Dinsmoor and Greimel (our Academy of Road Racing head instructor)- fought for P1 and P2 with Greimel giving it all he had both days and having a close finish on Sunday.

My next race was race 11 on my good friend Mark Colasante’s ‘68 Ducati 250. Mark unfortunately was injured in practice at New Jersey last month and as he has been unable to ride for most of the rest of this season, he graciously offered me the Duc to run in the 250GP class. I had previously ridden the bike only a few times, once in practice at the AMA event at Mid-Ohio in July, and of course for a few sessions on Friday. The bike absolutely rips! Look out next

Unfortunately, I fumbled for neutral as I approached the grid and was still unable to find it. I then attempted to hold the clutch in, but eventually it started to drag, and with a wave 3 start, it was too long to hold it on. The bike crept forward, and I had to let it stall. I quickly pulled off to the side in the grass to get out of the way. Wave 3 was off, and I attempted to bump start it with the now-dragging clutch plates. I jumped off to the side and pushed with all my effort and side-saddled it as I hopped on and dumped the clutch....vroom...she started up and we were away! With the entire field gone it was a lonely four laps or so as I rode as hard as I could in hopes of some sort of decent finish and not be lapped by anyone. I then started to

realize I had caught up to P2! Yes, unfortunately we only had three entries in 250GP on Saturday, but nonetheless, I had managed to catch second place in the class. The white flag came out and I pushed seeing as I was slowly making up ground. On the last corner of the last lap, I squeezed by and somehow held on for second place at the line, as I think the now third-place machine was right on my tail. Saturday races unfortunately were running a bit behind and I didn’t get to race my 350 Ducati until Sunday morning.

Sunday morning began with rain moving in and a resulting very wet track. Lightning then delayed things further. I think I heard a few brave souls go out for practice laps after the lightning delay was over, but most of Sunday morning was quiet as everyone waited for things to dry. Racing began with race 14 from Saturday’s schedule and I was up, out on the 350 Duc. The race began with a fairly

strong start for me as I managed to keep the always fast Alex McLean on the Aermacchi in my sights and I held P2 for a little while. By the third lap, however, my moody Italian 350 decided to start hesitating with a seemingly electrical issue almost as if the electrical power was being turned off and on. A faulty kill switch? I have yet to identify what the problem is or was. I did finish the race and nursed it to the finish for P4. My other bike, the silver 350 Ducati ridden by my uncle Larry Watts, finished behind me in fifth.

I did stick around for a repeat performance in race 6 on the KTM but then decided to head home with the unfortunately laterunning schedule on Sunday.

I want to thank everyone with AHRMA, all the volunteers and staff for a great weekend. They dealt with challenges that none of us could ever have predicted. Pittsburgh is a challenging place to hold a race weekend for the vast variety of motorcycles that comprise the AHRMA grids. With everything from pre-1940s era machinery to modern state-of-the-art motorcycles and everything in between. Getting all of us on track safely and at the same time in many cases is a huge task. But the AHRMA team did it as they had all season. As I mentioned at the beginning, Pittsburgh International Race Complex is for me my topranked track in the USA. I feel PITT Race could easily host a vintage race festival type event. There is great potential at this venue. I hope to see everyone here again next year!

Until then, see ya at Nelson Ledges or Barber!

2025 Vintage Cup - 500 Premier

AHRMA Roadracing Series Presented by Motobilia

Dinsmoor Takes Both Wins at Pittsburgh

WORDS AHRMA STAFF PHOTO ETECHPHOTO.COM

The 2025 Vintage Cup Series continued August 16 and 17 at Pittsburgh International Race Complex in Wampum, PA, as part of the 2025 AHRMA National Roadracing Series, presented by Motobilia.

Sponsored by Roadracingworld. com and NYC Norton (nycnorton. com), AHRMA’s 2025 Vintage Cup features the 500 Premier class which includes 500cc fourl-stroke machines built up to and including 1968. Featured bikes from this era would include the 500cc Manx Norton, Matchless or Seeley G50, BSA Goldstar or 500cc BSA Twin “works” replica, Benelli “works” four, Harley KR, Honda Drixton Twin, and more.

On Saturday, three beautiful examples of the Premier 500 era lined up for the 2025 AHRMA 500 Premier Vintage Cup race: Kevin Dinsmoor, riding John Turner’s impeccably turned out BMW R50 seated on pole position, joined by Brian Larrabure on an NYC Norton Seeley G50, and Tim O’Donnell on his 1968 BSA B44. At the drop of the green flag, Larrabure got a fantastic launch and took the holeshot into T1, holding onto a close lead until about midrace. Never more than a few bike lengths behind, Dinsmoor got Larrabure on the brakes in the back section. Battling fiercely, Larrabure and Dinsmoor exchanged leads several times for the duration of the race, with Dinsmoor making the final move as they rose over the hill in Turn 14, and the race culminated with

MORE THAN A RACE

HOW NELSON LEDGES CAPTURED THE TRUE SPIRIT OF AHRMA

WORDS BY TOM EDLESTON PHOTOS BY TURN 13 PHOTO, CRAIG CHAWLA

Racers came to Nelson Ledges from across the country, drawn back by the memories of how much fun the event had been the year before. The track itself delivered once again, its fast layout and flowing rhythm giving riders plenty to smile about. The weather threw a few curveballs, with storms rolling in at times, but each one seemed to clear just in time for the green flag. The paddock filled quickly with familiar faces and new ones alike, everyone eager to make another weekend of racing, stories, and friendships.

One of those newcomers was Matthew “Bubba” Collins, who had

wanted to go racing for as long as he could remember. Like many, he wasn’t sure how to take that first step. Then, in the way only the AHRMA community seems able to deliver, opportunity came knocking. Member Shawn Smith had posted on Facebook that he had an SV650 ready to loan for anyone who wanted to try racing. The offer was simple: take the bike, run it in Sound of Thunder, and if you wanted it at the end, it was yours for a thousand dollars. For Bubba, it was the chance of a lifetime.

Friday was race school and practice, and Bubba’s nerves were obvious. The SV was

temperamental at first, refusing to start, so friends jumped in with cables, carb adjustments, and whatever it took to coax it awake. When the session rolled around and the SV still wasn’t ready, Bubba borrowed another machine — a Kawasaki ZX7R — for a few laps. The bike was big and brutal compared to the forgiving SV, and it bit back almost immediately. Bubba ran wide in Turn 2 and slid into the grass, the ZX7’s shifter snapping in the fall. For a first timer, it was a rough way to begin, the kind of incident that makes even the most determined rookie question if they belong.

But the paddock doesn’t let people quit so easily. With encouragement all around him, Bubba went back to the SV once it was sorted, and little by little, the confidence came. He learned what it felt like to grid up, how to settle into his lines, how to breathe in the middle of the chaos. Every lap chipped away at the nerves. By Saturday’s Sound of Thunder 3 race, he was starting to find his rhythm. He wasn’t at the front, but he wasn’t supposed to be — this was about finishing races, gaining experience, and soaking in the feeling of finally chasing a lifelong dream.

Sunday brought the real highlight. Sound of Thunder 3 lined up with a packed grid, and somewhere in the middle of the fray, Bubba found himself in a train of riders swapping positions lap after lap. It wasn’t about podiums. It was about racing — real racing — with friends and rivals all around him, and for the first time he got to feel the thrill of pushing and being pushed. His lap times dropped as the weekend wore on, and by the last race he was running his best pace yet. He had earned the kind of smile you can’t fake, the one that comes only when you know you belong.

Afterward, Bubba wrote online that the weekend had been both humbling and the best thing he’d ever done. The comments poured in: “So great to see your smile and enthusiasm! Welcome to the AHRMA family!!” “Was a pleasure watching you this weekend, welcome to our family.” “Welcome

to the addiction.” Those words weren’t just encouragement — they were a declaration. Bubba wasn’t a spectator anymore. He was a racer, and part of something bigger than himself.

Katy Robinson knows exactly how that feels, though her story comes

from a different angle. Racing runs through her family. She grew up watching her dad, Ted, battle at tracks like Grattan against friends Jeff and Mike. She saw her brother carry the torch, and in 2019 she made it her own, taking on her uncle Doug’s old number, #837. Nelson Ledges became her

moment of arrival, because for the first time in 14 years, #837, #838, and #839 were all back on track together. The last time that had happened was 2011 at Grattan. This time, Katy was in the mix herself.

She didn’t just show up; she improved in leaps. At Pitt Race earlier this season, veteran racer Jeff Hargis had spent time riding with her, showing her lines and offering advice. At Nelson Ledges, he did it again, and the impact was unmistakable. Katy cut twelve seconds off her total race time from Saturday to Sunday. She fought hard for two third-place finishes that weren’t gifted by attrition but earned with grit and determination. “With Jeff’s support and advice, I was able to cut 12 seconds off my total race time from Saturday to Sunday,” she said afterward, still buzzing with adrenaline. “My lap times improved immensely from last year.”

There were battles, too. In Sportsman 500, she found herself locked in with Steven Miller, practicing her passes, making mistakes, and learning how not to ease up once you’ve finally made a move. Her smile afterward said it all. The paddock cheered for her as much as they had guided her, from the Hargis Racing crew to friends like Leona, who always has a word of encouragement, and David from Black Sheep Racing, whose sticker finally made it onto her tank. And then there was her dad, still out there on the same track, ahead of her but sharing the asphalt for the first time. “It’s been so much fun finally getting to be on the track with my dad, during the same race, even if he was way ahead of me,” she laughed. For her, the weekend was about much more than results. It was about family, mentorship, and the simple joy of racing alongside the people who mattered most.

Not every highlight of the weekend came from rookies or milestones. Some of the best moments came from hard-fought battles between seasoned riders who know each other as both rivals and friends. Noel Korowin put in a strong weekend, running four races and bringing home second place in all of them. Try as he might, he couldn’t quite match the pace of Arch York, who seemed glued to the track from the first practice to the last lap. The stopwatch showed just how fierce it was — their battles were separated by mere seconds, often decided by tenths at the line — but what stood out wasn’t just the results. It was the way they respected each other through it all.

Arch put it best when he said afterward, “Love the competition, but I respect the camaraderie more.” He described finishing side by side, riders crossing the line nearly wheel-to-wheel, fans on the fence screaming “we won”

Dave Frick (4Q)

while racers on the cool-down lap shouted, “hell yeah, that was a race!” That single phrase captured the magic of AHRMA: competitors on the track, friends in the pits, bonded by the thrill of racing each other to the very limit.

All around Nelson Ledges, stories like theirs were unfolding. In one corner of the paddock, riders huddled over a carburetor, swapping parts to get a stubborn engine firing. In another, laughter echoed as families shared food at picnic tables under easy-ups. Out on track, wheel-to-wheel battles unfolded, the kind that leave spectators pressed against the fence and riders buzzing long after the checkered flag. Formula 750 produced one of the best, with three riders locked in formation, swapping spots by inches and showing exactly why vintage racing is as thrilling to watch as any modern series. But no matter the class, the through-line was the same: this was more than a race weekend. It was a gathering, a classroom, and a family reunion all at once.

That’s the real magic of AHRMA. It’s a place where a first-time racer like Bubba can show up with nothing more than a dream and find a bike, a place on the grid, and a family cheering him on. It’s a place where a secondgeneration racer like Katy can cut twelve seconds in a day, all because a veteran took the time to mentor her. It’s a place where veterans, rookies, families, and friends blur the line between competition and community. It’s also a place where rivals like Noel and Arch can fight tooth-and-nail for wins, then share handshakes and laughs in the paddock when the helmets come off.

The future of this sport doesn’t live only in lap times or trophies. It lives in those smiles after a first finish, in the pride of a daughter sharing the track with her father, in the outstretched hands offering tools and advice in the paddock, and in the

bonds forged when competitors push each other to their limits. Nelson Ledges proved that once again. We need more riders like Bubba, stepping into the unknown. We need more racers like Katy, carrying forward family traditions. We need the rivalries like Noel and Arch, showing that competition

and camaraderie can exist side by side. The racing is what brings us together, but the family is what keeps us here. And as the sun set over Nelson Ledges that weekend, it was clear that the AHRMA spirit is alive, well, and ready for the next generation.

Grit and Glory in the texas mud

AHRMA competitors returned to Yantis, Texas, for the second year in a row for the Motobilia-sponsored vintage motocross weekend. For those of you not familiar with this area of Texas, it’s in the northeastern corner of the state, about 75 miles due west of the legendary Jefferson, Texas. In the heart of bass fishing country, it’s quite serene and a beautiful part of north Texas. With unusually cool weather for this time of the year, it could only mean one thing - we were going to have rain at some point during the weekend. The year 2025 has

been bogged down with rainaffected events and Mother Nature delivered rain once again to one of our national races.

Friday night into Saturday morning, the skies lit up and the rain came down. With daylight to our advantage, we were able to delay racing for several hours and the racers made the best of the situation.

Mud can be an equalizer and those who know how to ride in it were quite successful in the final results. In race 1, the impressive mud skills from Dakotah Winter and Ken Jeter lead them both to victories in their respective classes. However, it was Charlene Campbell who surprised everyone by winning both motos of the Vintage 50 Plus Expert class over Craig Jackson. Who knew Charlene could ride in the mud so well?

Race 2 featured 60 Plus Intermediates and Experts which had some great racing between

Dennis Horton out of Sanford, North Carolina, holding off Carl Keller to win the Intermediate group; in the expert group, it was Hoot Parker holding off Danny Moore and John Fedor for the win. Parker was quite surprised, but growing up in Louisiana you must ride in the mud more than you want to.

The most impressive showing was in race 4 where Ernie Koestner just ran away from a very large Novice gate. Even Ernie was a little surprised at how well he handled it, however, somewhere in his younger riding days he obviously put in many a lap in not-sopristine conditions. Central Texas racer Steve Walker was consistent in this race as well to which he held off Linda Dowell to win the 40 Plus Novice class.

No article is complete until you list the racing in the small-bore Sportsman 125 Expert class. This time, it was Craig Jackson holding off national champion Jamie Adams in each moto to go 1-1 and

take the victory. Heath Abbott rode very good to win the Intermediate group and Skip Quinn won the Classic 125 Intermediate class aboard his Husqvarna 125.

The evening social had another wonderful meal catered to the track of fried fish and shrimp. It was excellent and once again everyone agreed this was one of the best, if not THE best, dinners ever served at a motocross race.

Sunday’s Post Vintage and Next Gen Motocross program was a success. With the track now dry and some dozer work, it may have been one of the best tracks on the circuit this year. Whatever the combination of water and racing the prior day, the dirt was absolutely perfect for AHRMA racing.

Sunday highlights were many and of course race 1 on the day had some heavy hitters in the lineup. Post Vintage 60 Plus Expert saw Hoot Parker and “Factory” Phil Reed go to battle and it was Parker

Jay Gref looking clean

winning with 1-1 finishes over Reed. In the Intermediate group for 60 Plus contenders, Eddie Lee put in a great ride on his home track to fend off Dennis Horton and Rick Austin for the win. Joel White led the entire race to win the 40 Plus Expert class and Troy Howell won the Open Age Intermediate group.

The big novice gate of race 7 was entertaining from the drop. In Historic Novice, it was Charles Eiman winning over John Putkey and Buddy Byrnes. Sharon Bean looked great winning the Women’s Novice class over Nicole Zimmerman. Jonah Milby, who is on his way to a national championship run, dominated the Next Gen Novice group, but it was April Patterson putting in her best AHRMA ride to date in the Next Gen Women’s Novice. AHRMA Novice gates are very deep each race, so congratulations to these winners.

Near the end of the day, it was race 12 that produced some of the fastest lap times. While in different classes, it was the Joel White and Ace Polson show. The two riders put on an awesome display of talent and speed. White

won the Next Gen 40 Expert group, and it was Polson winning the Next Gen Pre-Mod Open Expert class. Joe Busby won the Next Gen 60 Plus Intermediate class over Tim Cruce and Hoot Parker had another win for the weekend over Edward Hayes, “Big Daddy” Vernon Patterson, and John Fedor in the Next Gen 60 Plus Expert class.

Many thanks to the supporters of the racing for the weekend. Cole and April Johnson were gracious hosts to AHRMA racers, and all our volunteers did an outstanding job keeping the racing moving for the weekend. Thanks again and see you in the future!

Two-Day Trial on the Cool California Coast is Everyone’s Cup of Tea

WORDS BY DEBBIE POOLE

PHOTOS BY NICKLESS PHOTOS

While much of California broiled under three-digit temperatures, attendees of the 14th annual Tea Cup Trial weekend enjoyed pleasant temperatures, abundant shade, and perfect riding conditions on the Mendocino coast.

Saturday’s trial hosted 31 entries, and the Scott trial on Sunday had 20 hardy enthusiasts. Visiting around the campfire area was nearly constant, with the Saturday afternoon BBQ and pot luck stretching into the late hours, and into Sunday as every leftover was enjoyed to the last scrap.

One of the largest groups of Modern Classic experts seen in a while made for close competition, with Blake Lawson leading the low-points way at 31 for the day, followed by Gary Gronow at 36, and the Menghini brothers at 42 (Craig) and 46 (Grant). Usually one of the largest classes, Modern Classic Intermediate had just four riders, and it was no-contest with David Greenland winning with 25 fewer points than second place Keith Bielat.

Modern Classic Novice Emmy Poole, with sights on the Intermediate class next year, edged out newcomer Kent Garcia 11 points to Garcia’s 14. Stuart Proffitt took third with 20 points, and very quickly-improving Declan

Boehm lost 27 for fourth.

Youth C riders Charlie and Eddie Poole finished first and second respectively, and the Beginner class consisted of four riders, three of them brand new or very new to trials. Ron Edmisten finished ahead of Paul Guerra 13 points to Guerra’s 18.

Long-time friends The Two Brads, Jones and Berquist, brought out their Modern Twin Shock and Air Cooled Mono machines, with Jones riding the Intermediate line and Berquist Novice.

Mike Houde and Keith Caldwell contested the Premier Lightweight expert class, and Caldwell took the win.

Greg GT Tomlinson had his first Premier Heavyweight trial experience on injured Rob Poole’s Ariel, riding the Novice class and making a very respectable showing on the big bike; he took to the bike well enough to come back for more on Sunday’s Scott trial, finishing the hour-long ride with a smile.

Sunday’s Scott Trial always generates a lot of anticipation and excitement. A timed event where points are lost in the section and on time, the Scott Trial is scored by computer wizard Stuart Proffitt, who with his son Morgan, designed the program to fit the

Modern Classic Master Wes Poole, keeping on time in the Scott trial

event. Morgan and mom Ruth Ellen are an integral part of this scoring process, and the event isn’t possible without them.

It must be noted that in 13 years, the overall top scorer has been Wes Poole. This year, Morgan Proffitt rode with care but quick enough to lose only 2 section points and 3 on time, while Poole, though losing no points for time, made a 10-point error in a section giving Proffitt the Modern Classic Masters and Overall win.

With few exceptions, other finishes were nearly a mirror of Saturday class finishes: Modern Classic expert champ Blake Lawson bested second place Gary Gronow by 5 points; Modern Classic intermediate David Greenland again won with 16 total section and time points, ahead of Landon Ummel with 28. Modern Classic novice was led by Emmy Poole again ahead of Kent Garcia, 12 points to 18 respectively. Russ Pfirrman took 3rd with 25 points.

There is no event anything like the Tea Cup in all of AHRMA. It’s not an easy location to get to, which is why we tell everyone, “Make this a mini vacationcome early and stay late!”

The Legend of Coyote Run Continues

WIZARDS, ROCKETSHIPS, AND CHEERS

Everyone loves to get a good cheer from the crowd. The whoops and hollers from your family the first time you stepped to the plate in a little league game, the crowd applauding as you walk across the stage to accept your high school diploma, or the raucous stroll through a shower of uncooked rice as you emerge from the church on your wedding day. Or is it bird seed these days…? All these moments are awesome and warm the soul with a dose of dopamine, but could you imagine executing a sweet pick and roll in your basketball rec league and having Charles Barkley jump out of his

courtside seat to raise the roof? Well, swap Chuck for Jack, and a court for primo singletrack, and that pretty much happened at Coyote Run.

Jack, of course, being Jack Penton who really needs no more introduction in this audience. And that universal recognition comes not only from the famed Penton surname. Jack could have easily laid back and ridden on the coattails of the family’s tremendous industry impact, what with his father’s introduction of the Penton motorcycle brand and the subsequent High Point line of off-road related merchandise.

But Jack himself is quite an accomplished fellow, which is to be expected for someone inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame! A successful racer with multiple Six Days’ medals and equal achievements in domestic enduro and cross-country. On the industry side, his valued contributions to the family business were followed by a stint at Kawasaki where he played a key role in developing the KDX line of motorcycles, which arguably have an equal legacy as fine woods machines to the Penton line itself.

Mid Atlantic region’s Coyote Run cross-country extravaganza, Jack captured the attention of the audience on multiple occasions as he was spinning tales from all of his varied experiences, from the first motorcycle he rode as a child, to getting thrown into international competition as a teenager, the KDX years, his father and his recent one-hundredth birthday, the Penton and High Point brands, and any number of individual race or personal memories. Jack is a constant benefactor of motorcycling and once again proved to be an engaging, kind, and down-to-earth man. But Jack standing “courtside” throughout the actual races was perhaps the coolest thing about the weekend. In each hourlong event, Jake would roam the course (on his Penton…of course) and find unique places to spectate and enthusiastically cheer each and every racer that passed by. Now I don’t know if I executed any sweet moves that Jack was able to witness, but I can tell you when I saw him along the trail ahead, I surely tried to look cool! Elbows up, check…nail that berm just right, eh, maybe…don’t hit that tree, whew that was close…you think he saw that?! Good memories right there, thanks Jack!

There were plenty of cool spots for Jack and the rest of the appreciated spectators to view the action as our host, regional coordinator Dave Kutskel, once again laid out two superb racecourses. Saturday saw the introduction of some new terrain crossing the property’s driveway a few times before dashing through the Hill Creek on the way to some familiar trails. Sunday’s loop was a little more open and flowing than the prior day, which was a bit

more technical and overall longer route. Day two did highlight some unique elements added by Dave, his son Brock, and trail-genius Mike Zdyback including a swoop through a neighbor’s junk yard and a handlebar banging stick farm right before a riot of a grass track through an open brush area. Pretty much a perfect mix of terrain and flow both days, the only downside was a bit of dust. It seems after a bout of binge drinking earlier this year, Mother

Nature has shied away from the wet stuff. Her recent teetotaling ways led to a decent cloud of dust when traffic was heavy. It did add some wonder to the experience of catching a glimpse of Jack Penton trailside as he appeared from a plume of dissipating dust like an enduro wizard stepping out a mystical fog!

Always a fan-favorite, the shale pit hill climb housed quite a gaggle of onlookers throughout Sunday’s races. However, the real action in the shale pit took place on Saturday evening. With bellies full of pulled pork, bar-b-que chicken, sweet corn, and a smorgasbord of sides and deserts from the potluck pig roast that has become a Coyote Run tradition, the crowd gathered to catch a glimpse of some of the most fun race action of the season. The second annual pit bike race. Of course, being affiliated with a vintage racing series, the concept here is similar, with a handful of classes for different eras of “vintage”, sub100cc motorcycles, with grown men and women wringing the snot out of them. Laughs, applause, smiles, and memories abound in

this little slice of dirt bike heaven, and if you didn’t see the final moto showdown between series hotshoe John Aschraft on a borrowed XR80 and Howard Grove on his XR “75”, you missed a barn burner. Howard edged John at the line after an intense three-lap battle. That red rocketship dished out some impressive horsepower. I wonder if we can protest and get it torn down to see what kind of magic lives inside? Or break out the old claiming rule…is that in the Coyote Run rulebook? Just kidding Howard, thanks for show!

Thanks to the Kutskel family (Dave, Darlene, Emily, and Brock) and their neighbors for allowing the series to once again share a special weekend on these many acres of trail nirvana. I’ll also throw out an annual comprehensive thank you to the crew of Zdybak, Reichart, Frye, Cole, Reitz, Folmar, Sawyer, Colahan, Hershey, Walker, Grove, and anyone else that I missed that put these events into action each race weekend! Well done team!

ZOAR ROARS IN 2025

MELISSA NORTHRUP

MELISSA NORTHRUP & SARAH MARIE LANE

Last year’s article in the AHRMA MAG titled “Miracle of Zoar 2024” told how Ed Abdo and volunteers revived the historic Zoar Motopark in Springville, New York, after 40 years of closure. Once a thriving motocross site in the 1970s, the track had been dormant for decades. For all their hard work, the 2024 event drew record riders and racers, and celebrated Zoar’s legacy in the area. Moreover, all profits went to supporting local charities. We know now that the remarkable comeback set the stage for an even bigger event in 2025.

For the 2025 event, Zoar Motopark really came alive, honoring the 51st anniversary of the 1974 Edison Dye-promoted Inter-AM

250 and World Championship 125 series. Word went out early that this was the place to be in late September. Area motocross legends Frank and Andy Stacy came to help celebrate the weekend. Engines roared, dust filled the air, and fans cheered as riders from across the country gathered for a weekend full of competition, camaraderie, and celebration.

You can tell how much this track means to the local area by hearing that ~800 riders traveled in, many camped to join Saturday’s open practice. No racing, just laps around the restored track. Most came to re-live their past on older bikes, but a newer generation also came to challenge the vintage track with more suspension. Either way, it appeared they had a great time and the track was packed all day.

Adding to the Saturday excitement was the debut of the Zoar Cup 125–200 GP, presented by Pioneer Motorsport. The race, to celebrate the 1974 125cc World Cup race held at Zoar, featured 125cc air-cooled 2-strokes and 200cc

4-strokes, all limited to drum brakes and 10” of suspension travel. The $5,100 purse attracted some serious talented riders like Maccoy Shine, an AMA Pro MX 125 All Star, and Jesse Kitchmeyer, a multi-sport athlete, as well as Jerry and Rider Mattox from the AHRMA Vintage nationals. They were challenged by the fastest AHRMA Northeast racers along with a hoard of local talent. In all, 58 riders competed in qualifying races and a last-chance qualifier for just 30 spots in the Sunday main race.

Sunday finally brought racing. Zoar is an AHRMA Northeast regional race with a myriad of classes, but with the huge demand, participation was limited to 530 racers. Vintage bikes and machines up to 2004 were split into 19 motos, including the Zoar Cup. The Cup ran GP style for 25 minutes plus two laps. It was great to see veterans racing alongside newcomers, all enjoying the unique atmosphere that only Zoar can provide. The early motos had many of the vintage bikes and it was impressive to hear the pack

of two strokes as well as some big four strokes headed up the hill to the first turn.

When the gate dropped on the Zoar Cup, Maccoy Shine #381 was the cream of the crop, followed by Jesse Kitchmeyer, and Addison Emroy IV. The final payout was a whopping $8,250 total purse with all 30 riders in the main getting a payout. The inaugural Zoar Cup was a spectacle and immediately became a weekend highlight, establishing a new tradition for future events.

Zoar Motopark thrives because of its volunteers. From track prep to registration, local families and longtime racers devote countless hours to ensure the event runs smoothly. All proceeds stay in the community, funding volunteer programs and maintaining the track for future generations. Seeing the next generation tackle the same hills where legends raced reminds everyone why this event is so special.

roaring, and fans cheering from every vantage point. Today’s riders also competed on historic ground, honoring motocross legends. Families gathered and shared stories from past years and celebrated new victories together. Beyond the racing, the atmosphere captured what makes Zoar special—a community rooted in tradition, fueled by a passion for motocross, and united by decades of memories at Zoar Motopark in Springville, NY.

The event’s proceeds went toward supporting local volunteer programs, showing that the heart of this race extends far beyond the finish line. As the checkered flag waved and engines cooled, one thing was clear: Zoar Motopark continues to honor its past while keeping the legacy of vintage motocross alive for generations to come.

P.S. Book your calendar for September 25th-27th in 2026. You never know what just might happen again.
