February Is AMA Arenacross Month At Motorcycle Hall Of Fame
The Motorcycle Hall of Fame is recognizing the enthusiastic,
grassroots passion of fans of AMA Arenacross this February by
offering free admission to visitors who present a ticket stub from
the Feb. 4-6 event in Toledo, Ohio, or the Feb. 12-13 event in
Louisville, Ky.
"AMA Arenacross is woven into the fabric of American motocross,"
said Jack Penton, American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) director
of operations and a member of the Hall of Fame. "Many fans of the
sport are participants themselves, competing at local motocross and
off-road events for fun and glory. We're happy to open the doors of
the Hall of Fame to these enthusiastic riders and AMA members so
they can explore the history of motorcycling's great innovators and
pioneers."
The Hall of Fame was recently redesigned to highlight past and
current inductees -- the most important people in motorcycling's
history -- from competition greats to leading rights activists.
"This is a great chance for the thousands of AMA Arenacross fans in
Ohio and Kentucky to get a firsthand look at the Motorcycle Hall of
Fame and all of its racing heritage," said Jayme Dalsing, director
of operations for FELD Motor Sports, which promotes the AMA
Arenacross Series. "Having been to the Hall of Fame numerous times
myself, I would highly recommend that our fans take advantage of
this opportunity."
Key elements of the Hall of Fame exhibits are the incredible
machines that represent the inductees' accomplishments. They
include a Wayne Rainey Superbike; Gary Nixon's Formula 750
racebike; one-of-a-kind Craig Vetter bikes; Doug Henry's YZM400,
which is the bike that started the four-stroke motocross
revolution; Denis Manning's 23-foot-long Tenacious II streamliner;
and many, many more.
The Hall of Fame is at 13515 Yarmouth Dr., Pickerington, Ohio
43147. Directions can be found at MotorcycleMuseum.org > Plan
Your Visit. Regular admission is $5 for AMA members or $10 for
non-AMA members. Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week.
