"A quick history lesson on how the LRRS group came to be.
AAMRR was the original racing club here in NE started by Bob Pepper and later run by another small group until the mid eighties before running into financial issues. These problems caused AAMRR to evaporate (mid-week, just before a race weekend was planned to be run). Ted Goddard, who was the Track Operations Manager at the time, called me (Steve Aspland) and told me of the problem and asked if Penguin racing School could help cover the insurance for the weekend. I said “you need to talk to Jerry Wood about that”. Jerry then called the AMA who sent people out to NE on two days notice to manage and insure the event. Most of the riders never even knew that there was a problem and that these changes had been made. Ted then looked at a bunch of us and said “if we are going to keep racing alive in NE you guys need to help”. That is how LRRS came to be. Don Hutchinson – Race Director, Jerry Wood – Safety Director, Fred Mitchell – Referee, Steve Aspland-Assistant Referee, Karen Hornbecker – Medical and many more volunteers all worked to make this what it is today. Now the LRRS is group is owned and managed by SMI (the corporation that owns the NHMS) and they are working to continue this tradition of fun, safe and some of the most competitive Amateur class motorcycle racing in the USA! "
Just curious when this happened. It is no longer LRRS vs "the man". LRRS IS the man.
