AMC well represented at 2024 Barber vintage festival
Barber Vintage Festival, Leeds, Alabama October 11-13.
Atlanta Motorcycle Club members competed in and had success in all disciplines at the Barber Vintage Festival in Leeds, Alabama October 11-13.
Motocross
This year’s event featured the long-awaited new motocross track which opened to favorable reviews from the racers. The track featured many elevation changes, vintage friendly jumps and a well-groomed surface. In the well-attended vintage competition on Saturday, the results for club members are as follows:
Beno Rodi- 1st-Premier 350 Expert
Dave Kaufman-1st Premier Open Twin Int.
Jeff Fisher-1st ESS 500 Expert
Andy Blackburn-1st ESS 250 Ex, 2nd ESS 500 Ex, 2nd Classic 500 Expert
Graham Foster-1st Premier 500 Int.
Charles Morris-3rd Classic 250 Int.
Road Racing
Beautiful weather greeted the racers as they competed on Barber’s world-famous road circuit. Bill Gould finished second both Saturday and Sunday in the Classic 650 class on his BSA. After racing MX on Saturday, Dave Kaufman showed up on Sunday, riding his Matchless to a 4th place finish in the Classic 650 class.
Dirt Track
Well, if you can call an asphalt oval in a parking lot “dirt track.” Maybe Barber will add a real dirt track venue sometime in the future? We can only hope. Dave Aldana won the 70’s Singles class on Saturday, while Rickie Pollock won the Brakeless Heavyweight class.
Cross Country
Henry Gregorich worked hard to design a new cross-country course at Barber this year. When the dust cleared, Jeff Fisher claimed victory in the Vintage 60+ Expert, Beno Rodi placed 3rd in Premier Expert, while Henry placed 6th in Post-Vintage 60+ Intermediate.
Trials
The dry conditions made the trials somewhat easier compared to previous years. Several AMC members such as Bonnie, Lonnie, Chuck and Terry volunteered to be checkers and contributed to the success of the event. Club members that competed were Beno Rodi (1st Girder Expert), Graham Foster (2nd Premier Heavyweight), Henry Gregorich (2nd Modern Classic Intermediate), Steve Maxon (3rd Modern Classic Intermediate), and Andy Blackburn (1st Modern Classic Novice).

2024 Wildsville Scrambles
Wildsville Scrambles, Reynolds, GA March 16, 2024
Club member Chastin Brand owns a beautiful property near Reynolds, Georgia that he has turned into a motorcycle playground. Chastin had hosted events here for vintage bikes since 2019. The property features a dirt track, motocross and 4-mile-long cross-country course. The focus at Wildsville is on fun with classes for just about anything on wheels that you can imagine. Where else can you see a wheeled Jet-Ski, a Honda CB750 and a Harley on a motocross track? This event takes the idea of "run what you 'brung" to a whole new level. Unfortunately, there was a heavy rain the night before forcing cancellation of the dirt track, but riders in the motocross and cross country did not seem to mind.
Chastin, a talented artist, makes some of the coolest awards you will see for his event. First place awards are old helmets cut in half and hand lettered. Very nice and unique.
At the end of the day, participants were treated to a live band, Hot Rod Walt and the Psycho De Villes. Thanks to Chastin for hosting such a great event!

T & S Racing Season Finale, Henryetta, OK 11/4-6/22
It is not very often that one gets to rip up a city park with their dirt bike's knobby tires with the blessing of the town's Mayor! Welcome to Henryetta, Oklahoma, site of AHRMA's 2022 off-road season finale. AMC members Graham Foster, Henry Gregorich, Donna Blackburn and Andy Blackburn represented the club at this year's event. Henryetta is always well attended, as it gives MX competitors the chance to score double points towards their final national tally.
Friday saw the trials competition take place with Graham taking first in Premier Heavyweight Expert, Henry second in Modern Classic Intermediate and Andy first in Modern Classic Novice. Donna was nabbed to score riders in Section Eight. She said later that this helped her get 10,000 steps in on her fitbit, so she really didn't mind! The trials riders lucked out as they finished just before storms with heavy rains hit the area, washing out the cross country competition scheduled for the afternoon.
The storms were gone by Saturday morning and the moisture from the rain made the MX track surface as good as it has ever been. Andy had a good day, winning the Early Sportsman Stock 500, Classic 125 and Sportsman 100 Expert classes. Graham also had a victory in the Premier 500 Intermediate class. Donna raced to a third place finish in the Women's Novice class on her YZ125/MX175 hybrid.
