PICKERINGTON, Ohio
-- The American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation is proud to announce
that JT Racing, a leading manufacturer of top-of-the-line racing gear
and apparel, will be the presenting sponsor for the 2010 Motorcycle
Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by JT Racing, on Friday,
Nov. 19, at the Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa in Las Vegas, Nev.
"With JT Racing founders John and Rita Gregory becoming members of the
Motorcycle Hall of Fame at our induction ceremony, JT Racing is a
perfect fit for this gala event," said Jeff Heininger, chairman of the
American Motorcycle Heritage Foundation. "We're thrilled and honored
that this leading company is supporting both the Hall of Fame and the
industry as we shine the spotlight on these incredible individuals at
this memorable end-of-year celebration."
The 2010 Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by JT
Racing, kicks off a three-day AMA Legends & Champions Weekend. The
ceremony, hosted by actor and motorcyclist Perry King, will officially
welcome nine deserving men and women to the Hall of Fame. In addition
to the Gregorys, the Class of 2010 includes legendary two-stroke engine
tuner Eyvind Boyesen, dirt-track racer Don Castro, sidecar roadracing
champion Larry Coleman, off-road rights activist Clark Collins, AMA
250cc Roadrace Champion David Emde, desert racing champion and team
manager Bruce Ogilvie, and championship team owner Mitch Payton.
"We're very excited to sponsor the Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction
ceremony," said JT Racing CEO David Dray. "Just as the Hall of Fame
Museum celebrates the sport's leading individuals, JT Racing is proud
to honor JT founders John and Rita Gregory as we re-launch the company
with an all-new collection of innovative, high-end motocross gear."
A full slate of activities at the Red Rock follows the induction ceremony.
On Saturday, Nov. 20, the 2010 Motorcycle Hall of Fame Concours
d'Elegance will showcase some of the country's most impressive original
and restored classic motorcycles. Also on display will be the world's
fastest motorcycle, the Top 1 Oil Ack Attack streamliner -- a
twin-engined, streamlined blue bullet that recently set the outright
motorcycle land speed record of more than 376 mph on the Bonneville
Salt Flats in Utah.
Then at noon on Saturday, the AMA honors the best of the amateur racing
community at the 2010 AMA Racing Championship Banquet, presented by
World of Powersports, and co-hosted by announcers Laurette Nicoll and
Griff Allen.
Saturday evening is just as action packed. It marks the Las Vegas début
of the movie "Carlsbad USGP: 1980," a look at an iconic motocross race
that has been dubbed "the Woodstock of motorcycling." A number of the
weekend attendees are also expected to attend the season finale of the
AMA GEICO EnduroCross Series on Saturday evening at the Orleans Arena.
