AHRMA Legacy Program

LEGACY:

For our purposes, “legacy” is defined as a person or machine that has had a long-lasting impact on AHRMA or the sport of Dirt Track.

As AHRMA plans for the future it is time to create a program to help preserve the past. To accomplish this, the “Legacy Program” is being created with the intent of offering a class for veteran racers who want to continue being involved, do some laps and be part of the action and do it safely. This program would be available to veteran riders, age 60 and up. Those under 60 wishing to participate would need director’s approval. Making it open to any AHRMA eligible machine would allow racers to transition into the program without having to do anything to their machines. In addition, this program would be available for members who own rare/collectible machines that they would like to showcase but not race. These can also be allowed into this program with directors’ approval. This will provide a controlled, low-risk environment for those owners to ride or have these bikes ridden.

With a basic concept aimed at safety the first rule written was no aggressive riding. Along with that came no inside passes. These two rules are in place to help minimize the risk of injury to the riders and damage to machines. This class is a non-championship, non-competitive class.

“This program is meant to be fun for the riders and to honor those who have supported the sport throughout the years, allowing them to still get some laps and to hear the cheers from the crowd.” Richard

Brodock, AHRMA Dirt Track Director
