Brett Smith - We Went Fast
Edited Date/Time 7/26/2019 3:04pm
The ballots have officially gone out for the Class of 2019. It's time to put The Dogger into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame.⁠ Voting runs through Aug 12

If you're a lifetime member of the AMA or a Hall of Famer yourself, then you're eligible to vote. Check your email inbox. If you don't have a ballot email to: halloffame@motorcyclemuseum.org.⁠
⁠
If you need supporting arguments (I wouldn't think anyone here really does) on why Lechien deserves a spot with the legends he routinely beat in the 1980s, read this. ⁠

Not so much a matter of being held down. The flat track fans seem to have a greater presence among the lifetime members. Motocrossers (like me, for example) let their memberships lapse when we took breaks from racing for college, etc.

Ronnie has been so close and it became apparent that not all lifetime members realized they had the option to vote. Emails get missed, go to SPAM folders or, maybe they didn't even have the right email, you know?

So this campaign is to make lifetime members aware.

To me he is a borderline choice for the HOF. His one 125 national championship was won in dominant fashion but the other top riders were in the 250 and 500 classes. He won individual SX and outdoor races against those guys but never a title. BUT. His MXdN performance tips the scales in his favor for me and I say he should be in . The off track stuff doesn't matter imo.
