AMHF To Announce Nominees As Well As Hall Of Fame Inductees
Every year, the American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation (AMHF)
inducts new members into its AMA Hall of Fame, and this year, for
the first time ever, the names of runners-up will also be made
public. On April 2, they will announce the inductees as well as the
men and women who were nominated. The Hall of Fame honors the
legends and heroes of the community to preserve the history of
motorcycling.
"While in previous years only the inductees have been announced,
this is the first time that we will announce the names of our
nominees, each of whom is a worthy contender," said AMHF Board of
Directors chairman Jeff Heininger. "Supporters and fans of the Hall
of Fame have encouraged us to do this, and the enthusiasm generated
by these announcements is one more way for us to acknowledge the
tremendous contributions each of these individuals has made to the
sport, business and lifestyle of motorcycling."
The nominees are selected for their contributions to two sections
of motorcycling - competition and non-competition.The competitive
category encompasses flat track, motocross/Supercross, off-road,
roadracing and specialty competitions. Non-competitive
denominations include motorcycle rights advocacy and leadership;
design and engineering leaders; and industry leaders.
