At the end of each racing season, the best amateur racers in the country are honored at the AMA Racing Champions Banquet. This Dec. 4, these stand-out members of the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) will receive the well-earned respect of their peers, family, friends and fans at one of the event's coolest locations ever, the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Las Vegas.
Held on the eve of the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame 2009 Induction Ceremony, also scheduled for the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, the event will provide a special opportunity for racers and fans to not only celebrate the accomplishments of racing's present, but witness the elevation of individuals from all of motorcycling's past.
"Amateur racing is a big part of both our heritage and our future, and we're excited about giving our racers the recognition they've earned," said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. "Whether you race motocross, in the woods, the desert, on a dirt oval or asphalt, you most likely are chasing an AMA National No. 1 plate or a national championship. The AMA Racing Champions Banquet will honor those who achieved that goal during the 2009 season.
"We're particularly thrilled about this year's celebration, which lead us into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame 2009 Induction Ceremony," Dingman continued. "Today's champions will get a first-hand look at what a career of dedication and effort can bring: a place in the revered AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame."
