For whatever reason they aren't posting the 2023 updates in that group. I don't get it. The website isn't updated either.

I don't think there is a coordinator/director for the AHRMA Great Lakes Region - I even wonder who put this schedule together.

Honda Hills is a National AHRMA race - I saw that on the AHRMA schedule - looking forward to it. Also on April 1-2, there is a National Race at Kevin Windham's place in Centreville, Mississippi.

As always, there is an open invitation in anyone wants to come ride at Saddleback with me. I am longtime member and there is no guest fee. It is about an hour South of Cincinnati. Race there looks to be May 20-21.

Thanks for posting this - was making my 2023 plans. I have a 1985 RM125 ready for the season:).

I dunno, yes odd. I saw it on FB and never even realized it wasn't in the AHRMA GL group until recently when I tried to tell a few people about it.

Could someone using Facebook please ask that this group be made public. The group previously used a public Facebook group.

https://m.facebook.com/100064529749635/
But I can only see the content of this group which ends in 2022 by going to it directly from a search result.
I have a few public groups I started. The spam is so insane unless it is made private that if it is public, you have all kinds of scammers scamming all day long posting

I can only imagine - the few private groups I am a member of still have a fair share of spam and insanity. Thank for Vet261 at least I'll have a path to information. The AHRMA site doesn't have any updates.
 
JEMCO
100.00 off any exhaust for year end class champions.
$$ donated for year end awards. T shirts too. They will also by the host of our KY race. This will take place at Nickota mx. It is 1.5 miles from Saddleback. They have all the equipment for great track prep, good elevation change and vintage friendly.

Looks like the KY race is a Nickota this year. Right across the street from Saddleback.

 
Some positive momentum from the AHRMA Great Lakes region.

Been lying low on all of this stuff as of late. Didn't even know about the page Jammer is running-you better accept me brother! This is all great to hear! I miss the old days(I mean 5-10 years ago) when we made AHRMA around here good and quite honestly that short stretch for the AMA series. Really if you think about it this deal isn't much different from what we did on the AMA series at all as far as geography and kind of better. We had some good turnouts I thought and I had a ton of fun. I plan to support as much as possible. I guess it's time to start dusting them off. I actually have a vintage bike for this! Looking forward to it.
 
Ok, I picked up a 1980 Suzuki RS175 this weekend. Looking to do a couple AHRMA CC races this summer, maybe MX too. I just joined AHRMA, is that all I need to do until I register for an event? Do they still assign you a race number or can I run my normal #?

Unless things have changed, you should be able to choose your skill level and number online. There is a list of numbers already taken if your choice is declined to help pick another number. The local regional races haven't been too picky with race numbers or AHRMA membership. Nationals are another matter. CC races at the nationals is run by a separate group from the one that puts on the motocross races. Rules and classes differ as well.

Would like to add, I've been racing since 1974, at nearly every track in Ohio. Tracks alot of you guys weren't born to know about.... give me some good advise....also have a pitbike, but 64 years old. If you had a 60+ class, then we could talk lol.
