AIRFENCE

IMPACT ®

On Any Sunday (or Saturday)

It was probably around 1976 when I first saw Bruce Brown’s “Endless Summer”. It was released in 1966, but they were showing it at the local high school and my older brothers let me tag along. I was about 10 and living in South Florida. Skateboards and surfing were what we were into. I do not remember when I first saw “On Any Sunday”, another great film by Bruce, but he seemed to be able to catch the vibe of a young nation. I gradually migrated from skateboards to go-karts and motorcycles, and as they say, the rest in history.

Before the days of the VHS, DVDs, and eventually the internet, you had to be lucky if a film like this came to a theatre near you. You might catch it syndicated on late night television, or maybe someone had an 8mm copy that they would show on occasion. It was always a thrill when a new movie was released that aligned with your passion. It inspired you even more and added credibility (sometimes) to what you were always talking about.

I have a few favorites that I often go back to, and they still hold their own. In addition to Bruce’s “Endless Summer” and “On Any Sunday”, I

was drawn to “The World’s Fastest Indian” when it came out in 2005. I also read the Burt Munro biography by Tim Hanna, “One Good Run”, and it inspired me to run at the Bonneville Salt Flats. I still enjoy watching “Dust to Glory” about the Baja 1000. A film by Dana Brown, Bruce’s son.

If you want to watch a good documentary about go-kart racing, check out the 2009 release “Racing Dreams”. The film centers on racers Annabeth Barnes (11 years old), Josh Hobson (12), and Brandon Warren (13) during a single season of WKA racing. It is a good story about how hard it is to move from go-karts to NASCAR.

Finally, a must see is “The Doctor, the Tornado and the Kentucky Kid”, which chronicles the MotoGP rivalry between Valentino Rossi, Colin Edwards and Nicky Hayden in the 2006 MotoGP World Championship.

Does life imitate art, or is it the other way around ? Queue up some of these classics this winter to help get motivated for the 2026 season. It will be here before you know it.

safety

Since stepping into the role of Road Race Director in 2024, my mission has been clear: make AHRMA the safest racing organization possible. Thanks to the Safety Committee, I was quickly brought up to speed in January 2024, and together we launched a deep dive into improving racing safety while ensuring full compliance with insurance requirements.

PADDOCK PROTOCOLS & RIDER VISIBILITY

The Safety Committee established a comprehensive paddock safety protocol. We also partnered with Noel Korowin of Grafix Worx to provide new safety vests for racers who feel off-pace, are unfamiliar with the track, or are brand new to the sport. Most recently, we implemented a helmet requirement for anyone riding a pit bike, scooter, bicycle—anything with wheels.

INCIDENT TRACKING & CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Referee and Safety Committee member Jim Korn diligently documents all on-track incidents. He and I share notes, which are then reviewed by the Safety Committee to inform future safety measures. This feedback loop has been instrumental in evolving our approach.

TRACK WALKS—NOW ON WHEELS

One of the most exciting safety innovations of 2025 has been the introduction of “Track Walks” on

wheels. Our first was at Inde Motorsports Ranch, led by Nick Ienatsch with support from Champ School riders Aron and Ryder Herman. Given Inde is Champ School’s home base, it was the perfect launchpad.

These mobile walkthroughs—via golf carts, pit bikes, and scooters— have proven to be more engaging and efficient than traditional walks. We’ve since hosted them at Hastings

Motorsports Park with Shane Turpin and Nick Ienatsch, PITT Race with Stefano Mesa and Kevin Greimel, and Nelson Ledges with AAR instructor Marty Sires. Each session has helped racers better understand track dynamics and avoid potential getoffs.

GRATITUDE & LOOKING AHEAD

I’m incredibly grateful to Nick Ienatsch, Aaron Herman, Shane

Turpin, Stefano Mesa, Kevin Greimel, and Marty Sires for their time and expertise. Their contributions have made these new-style track walks a resounding success. Thanks also to the track managers who trusted me with this initiative—it wasn’t an easy sell, but we made it happen.

As we head to Barber, we’ll return to a traditional on-foot track walk with Nate Kern, who’s been leading them there for years. If you’re attending, do yourself a favor and join—it’s always worth it.

Thanks for your continued support and commitment to safety!

Your Chance to Lead the Pack: Coordinator Roles Now Open

This month’s article will be a call for filling two regional coordinator positions as well as give a little insight into what our wonderful group of regional coordinators and assistants do behind the scenes to create racing opportunities closer to home.

At the end of this race season, we will have two regional coordinator positions open to fill. Our Rocky Mountain region and our Great Lakes region will have openings for interested parties. Our regions are the backbone of the off-road program serving members to have vintage racing activities not only in a multistate region but also help support procuring national race events as well. Our boots on the ground coordinators are typically the first contact to promoters or parties interested in having an AHRMA event. Regional coordinators support new venues or hosts in all aspects of race execution, including course design, promotion, event management, class structures, and administration. Each region implements customized programs to ensure successful and frequent events, rather than following a onesize-fits-all approach.

The basic needs are a good understanding of vintage off road racing, AHRMA rules and class structure, decent computer skills,

good communication skills, and a desire to promote vintage racing. Here are some of the bullet points of what you can expect and what we are looking for:

• Time Commitment: e.g., 10–15 hours/month, weekends or race days

AHRMA Mentorship Program

ed and I have raced together for many years, and I have known Katy since she was a young lady hanging out at the track with her family. When Katy found out I was part of the mentorship program, she asked for my help at Pittsburgh International Race Complex. She already knew the basics of how AHRMA runs a race weekend, but she wanted to get faster on the track. I took her out in morning practice and led her around for a few laps and then I let her lead and I followed. Afterwards, we met up and we discussed what she did well and what she needed to work on the

Tfor the next practice. She improved her times a little each time she went out.

She then asked if I could help her at Nelson Ledges, so we did the same thing. Each time out she got a little faster. During her race she actually worked herself up to second place, but after a great battle, she finished in third. This was the first podium that she feels she actually raced to get! And she backed it up on Sunday!

Myself, I’m very happy that I could be a little part of her success. I see more podiums in her future!

“Formula 840” Custom Race Bike by Analog Motorcycles

WORDS & PHOTOS BY CRAIG CHAWLA

Tony Prust, AHRMA racer, sponsor, and owner of Analog Motorcycles, debuted his latest race bike build “Formula 840” at Round 7 of AHRMA’s 2025 Road Race Series at Blackhawk Farms Raceway.

Blending form and function, Formula 840 is the result experience gained by Tony and the bike’s owner, Del Thomas, through previous builds. The foundation is a 1999 Ducati Supersport 750 frame, recommended by Chris Boy of Moto Corse Performance, who is also an AHRMA sponsor. Power comes from a Ducati 796 Monster engine equipped with an 840cc big bore kit, built by Al at Moto Corse.

The frame is paired with a custom aluminum subframe and cloaked in late-1980s Ducati 750 F1 bodywork. Up front, Ducati 1098 forks with Race Tech internals are mounted using adjustable IMA billet triple clamps. A Metmachex swingarm, Öhlins rear shocks, and three-spoke magnesium rims complete the high-performance build.

Tony began racing with AHRMA six years ago. In this conversation, he shares his experience building custom street and race bikes – motorcycles crafted for both everyday roads and competitive demands of the track.

What is the story behind Analog Motorcycles and when did it all begin?

Analog Motorcycles is a brand I started in 2008 as a bit of a hobby building custom motorcycles. I went full-time in 2013 building custom motorcycles for customers, but quickly realized I needed another source of income. We started Analog Motor Goods

as a parts brand extension of the company. Designing and selling turn signals, tail lights and tail tidy kits for street motorcycles. Then in 2019 we went racing.

How have you and your build style evolved over the years? Are there specific milestones that helped define you as a builder?

Over the years I think I have honed in on keeping things as simple as possible. The milestones that helped me achieve that were essentially technology getting better and me learning more over time. In the end, my goal is to keep as much function as possible, but also keeping the look as simple as possible. When it comes to building race bikes, however, it is keeping it as lightweight and powerful as possible. While also making it precise in its ability to maneuver.

What is your approach to balancing form and function?

How do you ensure a bike is both aesthetically appealing, functional and safe?

This one is tricky and I actually pride myself in achieving a good balance. One of the most gratifying results when finishing a build is that the customer uses it regularly. We’ve seen a lot of builders out there that build amazingly beautiful machines that just sit in showroom floors. I prefer to build a bike that’s going to be used and the more it gets used the more satisfying it is to me. So, we try to keep as much function in all of our builds so that it makes the customer want to use it. We found that if it’s similar to a modern motorcycle with the majority of the same functionality, the customer would be more apt to use it.

What first sparked your interest in motorcycles, and what led you from riding to building them?

I’ve been street riding motorcycles since about 1994. I did a little bit of off-road riding before then as a

teenager. First major custom I did was a 1978 Honda CB750. Turned it into a café racer around 20072008. I had a buddy helping me at the time and learned a lot about fabrication, wiring, carburetors, etc.

Where do you find inspiration? Are there particular styles, art forms, or historical bikes that influence your work?

I find inspiration from many mediums. I love old airplanes, cars, and was a carpenter for many years. I think all of these things kind of tailor my design ethos.

What is your favorite part of the build process, and what is the most challenging?

My favorite part of the build process is assembly. After all of the fabrication’s been done and everything’s been coated and painted the process of putting it all together.

This is also where I get to be really particular about all of the fine details. The most challenging would probably be the design process and getting it all to work as we envisioned.

What was the motivation behind the “Formula 840” build?

I’ve been racing for about six years now. And we have focused on BOT1 & 2. Del, the owner of the bikes that I race is a Ducati enthusiast so we stick with classes that Ducati’s perform well in. We have been racing a Hyper Motard 796 the past few seasons, and due to its lack of aerodynamics and some ground clearance issues we are not able to get much faster than we have been. So we decided to build a new BOT2 bike and use some sort of fairing to give us better aerodynamics.

What were some of the key modifications you made, and what was the reasoning behind them?

There are a lot of modifications to this bike and the reasoning behind them all was for more power and weight loss. We had an engine built by Al at Moto Corse Performance. It has an 840cc kit, head work, slipper clutch, oversized throttle bodies, and more. We cut the back half of the frame off and made a much lighter aluminum subframe that bolts on. We used a aftermarket Metmachex swing arm. Front suspension is from a 1098 with race tech internals and rear is an Ohlins shock. The bike has been completely rewired with a Microtec ECU and Aim data logging dashboard. It has a complete Beringer brake system, front and rear. That’s just to name of few.

the aluminum panels to give the bodywork more height in order to clear the exhaust that goes under the engine. The other was learning how to wire and program the Aim dashboard.

Congratulations to Tony and Del on back-to-back wins in BOT 2 Saturday and Sunday at Blackhawk, riding Formula 840! Your performance was outstanding, and it’s always a thrill to see such dedication and talent on the track.

We also want to sincerely thank you for your continued support of AHRMA. It’s passionate riders like you who help keep the spirit of vintage and alternative racing alive and well.

If you’d be interested in having your build featured in an upcoming issue of AHRMA Mag, we’d love to hear from you! Please reach out to us at ahrmamag@ahrma.org.

What was the most challenging aspect of this particular build?

I would say there were two challenging aspects. One was getting the older F1 bodywork to fit the more modern frame, engine, exhaust set up. So, we made

Fred Hoess Overalls the 2025 Enduro Vintage Trophy

Envision traveling to Poland to attend an event that features hundreds of meticulously restored and well-maintained vintage off-road racing motorcycles— all within a single venue. This gathering also provides the opportunity to connect with enthusiasts from around the globe. Participants then suit up to ride their own vintage motorcycles through the scenic Polish countryside and throw in some fun and challenging timed tests along the route.

The event in question is the FIM Enduro Vintage Trophy, a

INSET: Terry Cunningham (19)

derivative of the ISDE. Established in 2016, its purpose was to give veteran racers the chance to compete on motorcycles from 1983 or earlier using the ISDE event format. Since its inception, the trophy has grown significantly in popularity, attracting elite riders and teams worldwide.

This year, Team USA was represented by 12 riders supported by a crew of 23. For nearly all the riders, this marked their second year participating, and significant progress has been made in presenting a professional image for our paddock, gear, and overall team organization. It is important to highlight that the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) provides no financial support; all expenses are self-funded by the riders themselves or obtained through kind donations. The AMA does facilitate our participation by providing FIM licenses.

Racing vintage dirtbikes for four days requires extensive planning.

Riders often choose their bikes a year in advance, considering personal preference and/or one of three year model categories that best suits your skill and chances at class winning success. Then it is a ground-up restoration, from the frame, engine, suspension and all. If you are going to go half way around the world, you want to make sure you have done the best you possibly can to prepare your bike and your body. Travel logistics—including flights, lodging, rentals, and bike transport—are complex. This year, Team USA shipped eight bikes by sea and sent four by air, meaning preparation starts long before the event. Unlike European teams who are closer to venues, Americans face ocean crossings and coordinate equipment from multiple states, with added challenges like jet lag. The dedication and effort by every rider and supporter is remarkable.

The event is set up just like the ISDE, with a Veteran Trophy Team, a Silver Vase Team, Club Teams

and Individual riders. The bikes are tech inspected and impounded into Parc Ferme every day.

This year’s US teams were strong. The Trophy Team featured ISDE legend and multi-time event overall champion Fred Hoess, smoking-fast ISDE vet Billy Burns riding the compulsory “A” class bike, and AMA Hall of Fame member Terry Cunningham. Our Silver Vase Team included returning vet Lendon Smith and ISDE veterans Marc Grossman and RJ Johnson. Club Team MTS had Ronnie Smith (Injured List), Chilly White, and Colorado racer George Pennigton. Club Team USA brought back Jimmy Lubniewski, Haim Beressi, and added newcomer Darrell Diamond from Maryland. I’m sure the strength of our teams was concerning to a few other top teams over in Europe.

The paddock or staging area was located in Piekoskow, Poland about 2 hours south of Warsaw. The country itself was

Billy Burns

very clean and the people could not have been nicer or more accommodating.

The course was about 70km long with 6 special tests along the way. All of the tests were challenging for any modern bike and even more so on a vintage bike. There are what Enduro Tests which are generally more woodsy and Cross Tests that are what we would call grass tracks. Then there are transfer sections described by rider George Pennington: “While there are plenty of roads, fields and green lanes to traverse, we had plenty of choppy, wet, rooty singletrack in the forest. The trees grow so close together, sunlight barely gets through and the dirt is just black and sticky…..or slimy. Super fun to run a good pace though. I’m not a Go Pro guy, but I really wished I had one today.”

RESULTS

First, the not so good to report. Day 0, Lendon Smith’s 1982 IT 465 refused to start; we kicked, we pushed, we pulled, we disassembled. But she was not going to crank. Being Tech and Impound day for the Silver

Vase team, we quickly went to plan B. Rider Ronnie Smith had injured himself a few days before the event and could not ride, but his bike was in the container! So Lendon raced to the paddock. The team already had Ronnie’s bike out and cranked. Paperwork was changed at Admin and Lendon officially impounded Ronnies 1982 Maico 250.

Onto our next set of problems. Day 2, both Terry and Billy had race-ending ignition issues, although both bikes eventually did come back to life. Rule Number 1.5.1 States for Veteran Teams only, “No restart for Veteran Trophy riders”. So having missed tests and time allotments, they could not restart. This was a huge blow to the team, but it is also the nature of the beast and a rule that

Marc Grossman
Haim Beressi

we will petition to change. Riders spend too much time and money to not be able to re-enter the race even taking a significant penalty.

Now for the rest of the team. Out of our Silver Vase team, Lendon struggled with a few mechanicals through the race, but came on strong at the end as each issue was ironed out. Marc Grossman put in a good ride, although with a bit of a mechanical on day 3 and a run in at the final moto, he still placed fourth in the B2 class on his 1979 Yammy IT175. RJ Robert Johnson had a phenomenal race, placing fifth in the very competitive B3 class aboard a 1978 Husky 250 OR. He was strong from the start and continued to have really consistent tests and flat out smoked the final motocross, closing out his week third in the final moto and in fifth place out of 27 in his class. Within our club teams, Darrell Diamond, Jimmy Lubniewski and Haim Beressi all did great and finished the event. From Team MTS, George Pennington had a great ride moving up in the ranks everyday and finishing ninth in the B3 class.

On the podium! Chilly White got to stand on the steps at trophy presentation taking third place in the B4 class. Chilly had an amazingly good race and on his 1978 Bultaco 370.

And then there is Fred Hoess. Having lost his Trophy Team Teammates, he was the lone ranger out there. After day 2, he took the overall lead by just seconds over some very fast riders from Germany and Italy. But as Fred does, he put his head down and went to work. At the final motocross, he needed to keep a significant time lead due to the handicap system; he really needed to have a good final moto. The last race of the day was for the fast riders from the Trophy Teams, and the tension was palpable. Fred lined up about mid gate for the start. To his right was fast guy and his main competitor in the trophy ranks, Bert von Zitzewitz on a 1982 Maico 390. As the gate dropped, Fred got a smoking holeshot. When I caught sight of him coming out of that first turn

in first place, I just smiled. With clean air, Fred put it in the wind, absolutely leaving the rest of the field and crossing the finish line a good 20 seconds ahead of Italian champion Tullion Pelligrinelli to win the event Individual Overall Championship!

A huge celebration took place at the finish line. Lots of hugs, handshakes, congratulations and just a fun jubilant atmosphere. Germany took the top Team Trophy, the French in second place and Poland in third place, which absolutely thrilled the Polish countrymen.

All in all we had a grand time. We learned some things, we improved some things and we are already planning for Zschopau, Germany next Sept 29-Oct 3 2026.

Finding My Line: A New Racer’s Weekend at Blackhawk Farms

Pulling into Blackhawk Farms Raceway felt like stepping into a hidden world built for speed, grit, and community. Tucked away in South Beloit, Illinois, it’s a place I’d only heard about—but this past weekend, I experienced it for myself. As a brand-new AHRMA member and second-time road racer, I was buzzing with nerves and excitement. What I found was more than just a racetrack. It was a paddock full of people who live and breathe the same passion I’ve been chasing. Being our first time at this track, for our second race of the year and newcomers to AHRMA we didn’t know what to

expect other than hear-say of fellow pit mates and riders.

The moment we rolled in, the energy felt contagious. The trees that line the paddock gave the whole place a welcoming, almost cozy feel—but don’t let that fool you. Everyone was wrenching, tuning, and prepping bikes like race day was sacred. And honestly, it kind of is. Laughter echoed from the canopies. Dogs curled up next to toolboxes. And despite being the “new kid,” I felt seen, welcomed, and supported in ways I didn’t expect.

I showed up with my pink Yamaha R3, rocking #69T and husband alongside me Clint Sletten #27G

with his 1998 Ducati 748, and maybe just a little more adrenaline than we knew what to do with. But from tech to riders’ meeting, veterans and newbies alike were generous with advice and encouragement. This club is serious about racing—but it’s even more serious about community.

The weekend followed AHRMA’s standard two-day schedule. Saturday and Sunday were packed with full grids and beautiful vintage bikes alongside modern screamers. I ran in Sound of Thunder 4 both days, and while I wasn’t battling for trophies, I was definitely battling nerves—and learning a ton with every lap.

Blackhawk’s layout is tight, technical, and demands your full attention. Corners like Turn 1 and the bus stop section humbled me early on. But every lap gave me more confidence, and by Sunday, I found myself picking better lines and feeling more connected to my machine. It was exciting for me during the Saturday race to have overtaken another rider Warren Wilson (#13W 2013 Kawasaki Ninja 300) for the first time, and then get to meet and make a new friend afterwards! He got the best of me the next day on Sunday, to which I had zero disappointment.

I’ll never forget the feeling of lining up on the grid again—heart pounding, clutch in, waiting for the flag to drop. That moment when everything goes quiet in your mind, even just for a second, is completely addicting.

Between my own races, I got to watch some incredible battles unfold. The Sound of Thunder 1 and Formula Thunder races were especially fierce, with riders like Jason Farrell (#86), Steve Metz (#13X), and Kevin Wiater

Alan Perry (1R)
David Evans (590)

(#112), Todd Murray (#99T), Brett Folkerts (#310X) pushing the limits and putting on a show of smooth, aggressive, calculated riding.

But the most moving moment of the weekend didn’t come down to lap times or trophies—it came from pure heart. Charles Miller, who had been honored at Hastings for what many thought was his final race due to his recent ALS diagnosis, stunned and inspired us all by returning to the grid at Blackhawk Farms. Seeing him suit up and take to the track once again was nothing short of emotional. It was a powerful reminder of what racing is truly about: the love for it, the fight inside, and the refusal to let go of what makes us feel alive. His presence uplifted everyone— racers, families, and spectators alike—and reminded us that some victories don’t come with a checkered flag, but with courage.

Everyone all weekend rode hard and navigated this track like no other!

During the 500 Premier Vintage Cup Wes Orloff (#74 Honda CR450) pulled off a win on Sunday after Kevin Dinsmoor’s (#304 1962 BMW TURNER R-50)

Matthew Puchalski (353)
John James (311)

ignition system had an issue and caused a misfire in the last lap. Dinsmoor still held strong in second; Brian Larrabure (#14 1968 Seeley G50) moved to third.

It was a wild ride in the 1A group for the RR Motard class for the Sunday race - which had been independent from the Sound of Thunder 4 class as 1B for the start of each day - between riders Steve Alexander (#1J 2025 KTM SMR) and Arch E York (#913 2023 KTM SMR 450) splitting the placement of first and second by a fraction of a tire across the checkered line. Steve took first place, Arch taking second by only a fraction of 0.014 seconds! To say watching this race unfold was exciting would be a huge understatement.

A few riders dominated in podiums over multiple classes such as Alex McLean (#122 1937 Norton Manx) between RR Pre-1940, RR Classic Sixties, and RR 350 GP, RR Class C Footshift, RR Classic Sixties,

Jonathan Castello (729)
Kevin Wiater (112)
Jimmy Hartanovich (37)
J Scott Rothermel (29J)

riding machines from the 1960s. Joe Ackley (#709 1972 Yamaha CS5 and 1975 Yamaha RD250) claimed top steps in Formula 125 and Formula 250. David Roper (#1 1970 Harley-Davidson ERTT and 1967 HarleyDavidson CRTT) scored big in the 250 GP and 350 GP classes.

Whether it was a vintage Norton, Harley, Kramer, or Aprilia, the talent on display spanned generations and genres.

For being our race number two, I can’t wait to see what race ten looks like. Already thinking about improvements—gearing, suspension, corner entry. I’m not here chasing trophies (yet); I’m chasing growth. I feel proud, not because I was fast but because I showed up, pushed myself, and kept learning.

Sharing these moments with my husband, his cheers through the fence echoing in my heart, reminded me this journey isn’t mine alone. He’s part of everything I do—both in our businesses and on race weekends. Alongside all of our newly found friends, pitmates, and even staff and volunteers who have helped to coach us and cheer us on as we’re full throttle down the straightaway!

Blackhawk Farms taught me more than how to ride a little faster—it taught me that I belong here. This wasn’t just another weekend at the track. It was a milestone in my journey as a racer. Thank you, AHRMA, for giving me a place to grow, to struggle, to celebrate, and to feel like part of something bigger.

2025 Vintage Cup - 500 Premier

AHRMA Roadracing Series Presented by Motobilia

Dinsmoor

and Orloff trade wins during rounds 13 and 14 of the 2025 AHRMA Vintage Cup at Blackhawk Farms Raceway

The 2025 Vintage Cup Series continued August 2 and 3 at Blackhawk Farms Raceway in South Beloit, IL, 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 four-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, four classic motorcycles lined up for the 2025 AHRMA 500 Premier Vintage Cup race: Kevin Dinsmoor, riding John Turner’s 1962 BMW R50 was seated on pole position, joined by Brian Larrabure on a 1962 NYC Norton Manx, Wes Orloff on Dale Coffman’s 1967 Honda CR450 twin, and Brady Ingelse on a beautifully turned out 1962 BSA Goldstar. At the green flag Orloff shot off with a fantastic start, taking the lead into turn one. Dinsmoor stayed close and didn’t let go, ultimately passing Orloff midway through the first lap, and impressively held onto the lead to the checkered flag, with Orloff nipping at his heels the entire race finishing in a close second. Larrabure finished third, and Ingelse came in fourth.

Sunday saw Inglese sitting out this race, while Larrabure switched his ride to a 1968 NYC Norton Seeley G50. Orloff again got a great start and led into Turn 1 holding first place solidly through the 7 turns of this track. As the riders crossed the Start/Finish on their first lap, Orloff remained in front, with Larrabure right on his tail, and Dinsmoor holding steady a few bike lengths back. However, in lap three, Dinsmoor overtook Orloff to take the lead. Larrabure retired midway, and the race quickly became a slugfest of two heavy hitters, with Dinsmoor and Orloff going at each other hard for the win - never more than a bike length between them for the entire rest of the race. At the final lap’s last turn, an ignition sensor issue caused Dinsmoor’s bike to misfire. Orloff seized on the hesitation and put in a clean pass to take the victory. Dinsmoor rolled across the line in second.

“Heading into Chicago from NYC the van’s dash read 105 degrees ambient. Thankfully, after setting up, the storms came and passed in the night, bringing lower temps and humidity for the rest of the weekend, leaving us with the best summertime August weather imaginable at this beautiful South Beloit facility. The grass was green, the trees were shady, and the racing was hard! The atmosphere at our AHRMA Midwest rounds is always very special, and Blackhawk is the perfect venue to host this tightknit community coming together”

said Kenny Cummings of NYC Norton.

Kenny continued, “I had the pleasure of spectating various times in the weekend from the fence at the carousel turn 4 / 5, with the different classes’ riders impressively getting around this complex section secured by some very welcomed air fence in the runoff. As I moved to the tower I had a great vantage point to watch our 500 Premier racers really give it their all. The riding and competition was top notch, and the sounds and smells of these classics didn’t disappoint. Hat’s off to all the folks who put these unique vintage bikes out there to be ridden hard”

“The AHRMA event at Blackhawk Farms was well attended. Racers competing there benefitted from the use of nearly 70 impact barriers in strategic areas supplied by the Roadracingworld Action Fund 501(c)(3) through the years by fundraisers and private donations as part of the Air Fence program. AHRMA has stepped up within our member base to help the continuing efforts to protect racers when and where it is needed. To donate please go to roadracingworld.com/actionfund/ donate/”, shared Bob Robbins, AHRMA Safety Committee Chair.

Rounds fifteen and sixteen of the AHRMA National Road Race Series Presented by Motobilia will be August 16-17 at Pittsburgh International Race Complex in Wampum, PA.

The annual Vintage Cup spotlights one of AHRMA’s road racing classes with extra attention on competitors in the selected class during each race event. Enhanced awards for the Vintage Cup competitors are presented separately from other class trophies during the Saturday awards ceremony at each AHRMA National Road Race event. Highlights from each Vintage Cup race will be reported in RoadRacingWorld.com’s online edition. At the conclusion of each season, the perpetual Vintage Cup trophy will be engraved with the national champion winner’s name and presented to the winner at the National Awards Banquet to keep for one year.

2025 Brush Busters Bonanza AHRMA National Cross Country

WORDS BY SUZY MOODY

BY ERIC BOLIN

There is nothing I enjoy more than taking my vintage motorcycle through twisty, single-track trails. This year’s Brush Busters Bonanza AHRMA National Cross Country, organized by Team McWorter and crew, provided just that. Located in western Missouri, the event featured hardwood oaks, perfectly flowing trails, vintage-friendly hills, off-cambers, tight, wigglysquiggly trails, and even a romp around a pond and some grass track. To me, it was a piece of heaven.

Originally scheduled for April, the event was canceled due to a hurricane that hit the area, and you know, there is a rule; that says …. “if a tree falls in the woods, it will fall across a trail”. The race was rescheduled for early September. Leading up to the event, the weather was pleasant with 70-degree days. In fact, organizer

and trail boss Steve McWorter mentioned he was arrowing with a jacket on. However, a massive and unusual heat wave hit the area during the event weekend, bringing mid to high 90s temperatures. This, along with timing later in the schedule unfortunately, led to a small turnout. But rest assured, those who missed it, missed out on a fantastic race, and those who did come had a ball!

The parking area was huge, and the sign-up process was smooth and easy. Becky Hayes, our former Cross Country Coordinator, helped Terry McWorter at sign-up and scoring. It was great to see Becky’s smiling face at the signup table. She did a fantastic job for many years and earned a welldeserved retirement, but she still makes it look easy and what an honor to see her helping out.

event is being able to visit with peeps we have not seen in a while or maybe just at the last event. But for me, visiting with my friends and making new friends is about as enjoyable as the racing. Big Red Scott invited everyone to an SMX viewing party Saturday night, he had a huge screen set up outside of his camper and we all had fun pulling for our favorite riders. I even had the pleasure of running into my old friend Frank Schoenbeck, who I have known for probably 40 years as we used to race the SE&TRA Enduro series together.

On with the racing! Saturday, Connor O’Brien took the Vintage Overall upon his Sportsman Open bike followed by fast Dad, Kevin O’Brien and rounding out the Vintage podium was Chris Gillespie and Clint Hawk upon his Penton who took fourth overall. Phil Henderson took the Vintage 70 Expert class, while G. Red Scott earned a second place in the highly competitive Sportsman Open Expert class. And making her drive down from Illinois even more special, Becky Hayes won the Post Vintage women’s Intermediate class both Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday’s Post Vintage racing was super competitive and made for some fun bar banging and close racing. Chris Gillespie, Clint Hawk and Kevin Obrien stood on the Overall PV podium with Mark Therrien in a close fourth place. David Rozell upon his nicely turned out 430 Husky Auto won the Pre-Modern Open Expert class and Robert Hicks was putting in a great race until his Husky Auto laid down on him with a broken first gear clutch spring. Bob Willford, Frank Schoenbeck and I had a close start together with Frank leading us into the woods. We had a pretty good freight train going before Frank dumped it coming out into the open in a humongous dust bomb. Bob and I took off and had some great, spirited racing together. What fun it is to ride with someone who is near your pace and you can trust they won’t do anything too crazy. Bob won the PV 50+ Intermediate, I won the PV 60+ Intermediate

Becky Hayes

and Frank won the PV 70+ Intermediate. Eric Bolin won the PV Open Intermediate class.

Sunday, we woke up again to another super-hot day, but undeterred we had a good riders meeting and decided to move the start times back a half an hour. Vintage racing was almost a carbon copy of Saturday’s racing with Team O’Brien taking the first two podium spots, Clint Hawk placed third Overall. Carey McGee had a great ride winning the Vintage 50+ Intermediate class. Post Vintage racing saw Clint Hawk taking the Overall on his Dad’s Next Gen KDX Kawi, followed by Chris Gillespie and Marc Therrien. Mark Reed put in a great race aboard his trusty IT 175 winning the Historic 200 Expert class. Gary Williams won the PV 60+ Expert and Eric Bolin again took the PV Open Intermediate. It was great to see Eric Bolin as he was also with us in Poland at the Vintage Trophy Event running support for Team Cunningham and Team USA!

A big time was had by all and hopefully they will run this event again next year and everyone can have the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful race and experience these fantastic trails and area.

Thanks to landowner, Jay Williams, who graciously allows us to enjoy his great trails and land, Becky Hayes for scoring, and Jeff Degroot and Chuck Guignon for all around help whenever and wherever needed. Thanks to Dave Bliss and Russ Morgan running sweep, and Chris Todd and James Smith for running tech. Finally, thanks to promotors Steve and Terry McWorter, who live in Albuquerque, and who dedicated significant time and effort in Missouri to organize, cut, arrow, set-up and promote this race. Thanks so much for you all!

See you at the races.

Stateline Vintage MX Challenge

The Northeast series ventures into New England but once a year. This one stop is in the beautiful countryside of North Pownal, Vermont. It is hidden in the southwest corner of the state, just a mile from the New York border and 22 miles southwest of Mt. Snow Ski Resort so you know it is near some serious hills.

This location also is rich in motorcycle history as 52 years ago the 1973 ISDT made its first ever visit to the United States in Dalton, MA. The second and fourth day northern loops of that ISDT carried the 300+ riders right

through North Pownal, VT. As I view those hills and appreciate how all the riders got over those huge hills, but most impressive is that six riders on tiny 50cc and 75cc bikes finished all six grueling days. Now over a half century later we haul our vintage bikes into the very same area to get but a taste of what those riders experienced.

For two days in August the Jelley family hosts us on their stunning property. It is surrounded by rolling green hills and white granite cliffs to the north. Marc Bottesi, a long time AHRMA member and the Stateline organizer laid out a busy and challenging old school,

circa 1970’s GP-style grass track for our enjoyment. Starting with a rubber-band start, it follows a serpentine path lined with orange banners around the fields and runs right through a natural spring that delivered a bit of mud and excitement to every lap.

The grass track also has a special feature I’ve not seen before, a highway speed sign at the end of a long straight followed closely by a 180 degree turn. Riders, if they so wished had some fun seeing how fast they clock on the sign. But don’t look too long, as the track then took an immediate left U-turn on hard pack to put a test

to the vintage binders. Some of the fastest riders were clocking readings in the low 60’s. It’s a pretty impressive feat while still making the U-turn.

In a little format twist for the Northeast series the crosscountry riders were invited out of the woods and raced on the MX track in separate 30 minute long “Woodsman” races. Format was much like a mini ISDT special test. This was utilized for both Saturday and Sunday racing and was scored as two separate events and points.

On Saturday, many of the series regulars were racing including Billy Burns, a Vermont resident who decided to spend his birthday on Saturday racing with us and as usual he was cranking the fastest laps on the track. Rik Smits also came north to Vermont for the races and was flying on his Husqvarna. Recent lack of rain made the racing quite dusty, especially on the pits side of the track. Nevertheless racing was spirited and many riders took the challenge of the speed sign. The Woodman classes were split into two large motos for vintage and PV/NG. The MX motos ran as usual. Visibility was challenging in the larger classes but everything proceeded smoothly. I took photos along the edge of the track and it was impressive to see the racers drifting their bike on the grass on

a big sweeping corner all the while seeing how close to my camera they could get along the ribbon.

Camping overnight in the mountains of Vermont offers a spectacular view of the stars. While we shared racing stories around a campfire, the moon peeked through the trees while rising over the mountains. Later, the rumble of a train passing through town around midnight signaled an end to the bench racing for some much-needed sleep for more racing on Sunday.

On Sunday morning we awoke to dense morning fog blanketing the area and blocking the view of the mountains and the morning sun. It didn’t last long and we were in for another bright and clear day with some dust to contend with. The track crew relocated the rubber band start to eliminate one section of the track with the worst dust. It helped a lot.

All of the same classes including Woodsman were run as a separate event. The track held up well with no help from Mother Nature as rain from passing clouds skirted this area.

Thanks again to the Jelley family for hosting us on this beautiful property and for the team running an interesting grass track. It was a lot of fun to race our vintage bikes in the same area the ISDT ran so many years ago.

TO THOSE WHO WAIT: WENTZ TRAINING FACILITY AND THE VENUE VEXATION

There’s this great paradox in power sports racing. For those brief blips of bloodthirsty speed, we endure hours of dulling dawn-to-dusk interstate travel.

This is the case for modern machinery, too, but it’s twice as true for vintage enthusiasts going through the growing pains of trying to get an all-new venue on the annual schedule. Finding an agreeable land owner, sympathetic business operator, suitable property and calendar flexibility – with all the race day prep piled on top – is as time-consuming as it sounds. So when word was

floated last fall that there might be a vintage-friendly event a stone’s throw from home base – and considerably closer for those in the northern Philadelphia suburbs – the guarded anticipation commenced.

“For five or six years, I’ve been asking at riders meetings to find me some property in Maryland or Delaware,” AHRMA Mid-Atlantic Coordinator Dave Kutskel said. “For years,” he emphasized, “we’ve been trying to find a race out east.” Through an unplanned encounter and much sweat equity on all fronts, Pennsburg, Pennsylvania’s Wentz Training Facility (WTF) opened up the front gate for their real-deal race course and country-crossing trail rip.

After incredibly dry rounds at Vermont’s State Line Riders and New York’s Bear Creek, the Sept. 6 and 7 combined Mid-Atlantic and Northeast motocross and crosscountry races at Wentz were a welcome – if not a slight bit soggy – reprieve. Helmed by husbandand-wife duo Kain and Terral Wentz, this private compound took shape in 2020 as their teenage

son learned to ride a dirt bike and the family “started building one trail after another” before they eventually “opened it up to family and friends,” Terral said. AHRMA racer and event trail boss Joshua Schucker explained that members of his local enduro club attended an on-site training class in 2024. The possibility of a vintage event was eventually floated and, through more than a year of planning, logistics, scouting trips and all manner of coordination, the pieces to pull this weekend off slowly fell into place.

Kain, hard at work prior to motocross practice running last-minute earth works to get the track into shape, said he was excited for this first-ever AHRMA event and what he hoped “should be a fun day.” Having just recently hosted a Temple OffRoad Racing (TOR) round that drew 631 competitors with 1,100 heads through the gate, the 151 VMX entries on Sept. 6 (including a half-dozen AHRMA first-timers) were a welcome chance to catch his breath.

“With WTF hosting a TOR modern race in mid-August, we really didn’t want to put a lot of time into clearing trails and formulating the course until we knew where that race’s loop would be established and if it interfered with some of the prior rough draft work done,” Schucker said. “Once we learned the TOR course the week before that race, we set to work on rediscovering ribbons that were hung in spring and brainstorming how to connect it all together,” he continued. “Lots and lots of vegetation from a wet year made finding some of that ribbon a challenge.” The efforts to lay out the cross-country loop included work by members of Reading Off-Road Riders, South Penn Enduro Riders, Valley Forge Trail Riders, Potomac Vintage Riders and dozens of other individual contributors and AHRMA volunteers, with some coming from as far as Ohio to help.

“If it wasn’t for him, we wouldn’t be here,” Kutskel said of Schucker and his efforts to work with the owners and lay out the 4.5-mile loop. Shucker, in turn, thanked

the Wentzes for being “extremely open, communicative, and accommodating throughout the entire process and always looking to help with whatever was needed in prepping the MX and CC areas.”

Asked at the end of day one for his thoughts on how things went, one could sense the relief and sincerity when Kain Wentz reflected on very nice weather and very fierce racing.

Columbus, New Jersey’s Michael Cramer, a South Jersey Enduro Riders club member who raced an ’86 CR250 for cross-country on Sunday, described the loop as a see-sawing succession of challenging single-track, relentless 90 and 180-degree turns across elevation changes and a “chance to pop out on the motocross track straight leading you into three tabletop jumps where you could exercise the

throttle and get some muchneeded air through the radiators, if you had any, then back into the woods.” All in all, it “rewarded clean turns more than charging out of corners.”

The vintage crowd is generally an easier-to-please bunch and between the “great dirt, great weather and great camping,” Cramer could have hardly asked for anything more; the hour-anda-half commute time was one more perk in the package. “The long hauls from home aren’t always a deal-breaker, but it does make the weekend a little more of a marathon. I am a vocational teacher at a technical high school so taking Friday and Monday off aren’t really an option and getting home at midnight or later and waking up to teach students automotive technology can be a challenge,” he added.

Now don’t get me wrong: most everyone has a “home” track. There’s nothing novel about that concept in and of itself, but here’s the thing for us Delaware Valley folks coming from the core of the most densely populated state in the nation. The typical vintage meet is at least three hours one-way and the “closest,” at approximately 100 miles and two hours out, still constitutes a haul. So forgive us Garden and eastern Keystone State folks for that extra pep in our step as we arrived at WTF bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and to the tune of the world’s tiniest violins.

Chris Breithoff, who lives 8.8 miles away, said “leaving at 7 a.m. and getting here at 7:15 a.m.” was hard to beat. Pownall, Vermont’s State Line round, a five-hour drive for Breithoff, was his farthest hike in recent memory so he’s no stranger to sacrifice – but this one was a welcome reprieve from the grind. Ron Krzaczyk, of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, had a mere 45-minute drive to the Wentz compound. Sitting on the bed of his pick-up next to a hopped-up 1974 YZ250A, a bike that scares him into hanging on for dear life in a good way, he said race weekends are expensive enough and the hassle of commuting had

really cut into his participation percentage this year. He’ll still hit Allen’s Farm annually, and his favorite is Lamoka, but getting out of bed at 6:30 a.m. and still being on-time for a 9:30 a.m. riders meeting was hard to beat. “I had this one planned on the schedule,” he said.

The Wentz motocross course was an eye-opening skills check compared to the wide-open power section grass tracks that host many AHRMA favorites. This was a tightly-woven, jump-laden, rutted-out, whoops-section to on-the-gas then on-the-brakes demanding loop. Some would call it a “cornering clinic” in bicycle racing. As my front end knifed over in a deep groove and the ground started rising up to deliver a face full of wood chips mixed with Montgomery County’s finest top soil, I’ve still got some learning to do. All told, it was a tameddown version of a modern course with just about every imaginable feature packed in and that’s what Wentz deserves commendations for. Kutskel noted that in talks with the facility operators, leveling with them as one enthusiast to another, nobody in the vintage scene was going to get rich as event planners and race promoters. As such, it’s all too easy to say “no” to vintage event proposals. If the earthmoving equipment is going to be called upon to turn the doubles into table tops for a single day, as to spare bikes and bodies not so

easily repaired, it’s going to need to make dollars before sense.

“People out east, they have no place to race,” Kutskel said of strictly vintage opportunities. Millville, New Jersey’s Field of Dreams facility hosted an AHRMA motocross national in 2017 with Unadilla’s MX Rewindlike schedule (vintage racing on

Motocross course conditions at Wentz Training Facility dried out considerably between the first and second rounds.

Saturday with post-vintage and modern on Sunday), but this has long since fallen off the schedule. Englishtown, New Jersey’s Raceway Park – foundational in the formation of Garden State dirt bike racing – was also a long-time host to annual vintage races, but has similarly faded away from “Vet and Vintage Reunion” events held as recently as 2021.

AHRMA organizers had previously approached Budds Creek, deep down in the Mid-Atlantic region of Maryland, but couldn’t strike a suitable deal with the outdoor pro nationals track. Ezra Beasley, the facility’s second-generation family operator, explained in a September 2025 interview the logic behind how he books out races and practice days. It really boils down to a simple math equation: a satisfactory tally of sign-ups weighed against the ever-rising operational costs of fuel, insurance and paying on-site staff. “Even if I wanted to, I can’t afford to lose money on an event,” he said of doing something that’s good for the sport – but watching the rainy day fund take a sizable financial hit in the process. “The profit margin is smaller than people think.”

Four-wheel ATV racing, he added, “is very much in the same boat” as vintage racing. “The people who are into it are very passionate about it, but it has to get more people into the sport.” Annual “grassroots” events that see everdwindling attendance due to, for example, increased class fees or longer drive times because of fewand-far-between options becomes a sort of “self-fulfilling prophecy to the bottom,” Beasley said. Well then… any solutions? “You want more places to ride? Support what you’ve got to see it grow” because the possibility of locking down a future vintage event at Budds Creek comes right down to the amount of people you can prove who’ll turn up.

Sure, one could ride a relatively modern bike and support your close-to-home track – which I have done, and thoroughly enjoyed. It’s just that one’s tolerance for nearly being landed on by leaping “college boy” classes gunning for that pro moto meat grinder drops precipitously as age rises. All I know for now is that two things can be true at once. First, the American Retrocross club has frequent outings at San Bernadino, California’s classic Glen Helen Raceway. Second, this track and its sweeping right-hander was a long-time outdoor pro national

venue that Motocross Action Magazine still spends a lot of time at covering local races and testing new bikes. Cramer, the ’86 Honda CR rider from South Jersey who also pilots a late friend’s 2019 Husky, is no stranger to East Coast Enduro Association “modern” events when helping to run his club’s annual hare scramble and dual-sport. When it comes to seat time (and that’s the bike saddle, not driver’s seat) Cramer sees it this way: “Getting to the races is more about getting together with my friends nowadays than it is the competition.” That latter factor is nice, he said, but “you’re

not a pro and you won’t be a pro. You’re here to have fun and so is everyone else.”

If there are wills, there are always ways to get there and have fun. For now, we’ll keep crossing our fingers for more schedule shakeups that favor the far-east crowd. Until then, here’s hoping the Wentz gang welcomes back the vintage contingent next year. Like they say, good things come to those who wait.
