The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame selection committees have put forward 16 nominees from eight areas of influence: Ambassadors & Industry, Design & Engineering, Dirt Track, Leadership & Rights, Motocross & Supercross, Off-Road, Road Racing and Specialty Competition.
“The AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame nominees for 2023 include a diverse and accomplished group of men and women who’ve demonstrated exceptional achievements in competition, advocacy and promotion of the sport of motorcycling,” said AMA President and CEO Rob Dingman. “They have contributed significantly to the advancement of motorcycling in various areas, from excelling in dirt track, motocross and road racing competition, to advocating for motorcyclists’ rights, to creating enduring events that have helped grow motorcycling, to creating innovative motorcycle designs. We’re honored to recognize this year’s nominees and eagerly anticipate announcing the Class of 2023 soon.”
Bob Coy has been nominated in the non-competition category as an Ambassador & Industry leader.
Bob is best known as a pioneering vintage racing organizer, racer, and vintage car and motorcycle collector. He dove into two-wheeled competition in 1965, and throughout his 45-plus year racing career competed in scrambles, flat track, roadracing, AMA Superbike, AMA National Sidecars and more. Coy helped organize the first vintage motorcycle road races in North America in the 1970s, and in 1980 founded the United States Classic Racing Association — which he continues to run today as Director. Additionally, Coy started the Vintage Sidecar Racing Series in 1990 and revived the AMA Gypsy Tour from Laconia to NHMS for vintage races.
