Larry Roeseler Enters 2011 NORRA Mexican 1000 on Two Wheels! FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 19 February, 2011: The National Off Road Racing Association (NORRA) announced today that thirteen time Baja 1000 overall winner, Larry Roeseler, has entered the 2011 NORRA Mexican 1000 Rally with a motorcycle! NORRA’s administrative director, Michele Martineau, stated “the make and model are still under wraps, but he is going to do it on two wheels, and we are very excited!” Roeseler, who was featured in Dana Brown’s 2005 film, “Dust to Glory”, claimed ten of his Baja 1000 overall victories and five of his ten Baja 500 overall wins on a motorcycle. While he officially retired from motorcycle racing in 1994, in 2006 he returned to Kawasaki’s “Team Green” to serve as an off-road ambassador and consultant. He was inducted into the American Motorcycle Hall of Fame in 1999. In 2010, Roeseler and Norman Motorsports won NORRA’s alternative fuel category 13, and Roeseler enthusiastically exclaimed that “The Mexican 1000 was an amazing event, a great experience, and everybody who was not there missed something very important”. Important enough indeed, an event that has already convinced several iconic champions to come out of retirement and return to the roots, glory, and fun of off-road racing! The Mexican 1000 Rally starts May 4th in Mexicali, Baja MX, with overnight stops in Bay of Los Angeles, Loreto, and ending in La Paz. The Rally is open to pre-1991 vintage vehicles and motorcycle, alternative fuel vehicle, and there is an exhibition category for those wishing to join in the fun and support the event without the pressure of competition.

THE TRUE STORY of DANNY HAMEL Story by Brett Smith • Photos Courtesy of E Dirt Rider Archives
THE BEST THERE WAS THE TRUE STORY OF DANNY HAMEL Story By Brett Smith • Photos Courtesy Of e Dirt Rider Archives Editor’s Note: This story, like many others, is the product of a simple discovery. While organizing the Dirt Rider photo archives a few months ago, we came across a plain, forest- green folder with the words “Danny Hamel” scrawled in pencil across the tab. Inside, we found a handful of photos of the big, smiling racer that called forth a fl ood of memories and made us realize that the off -road world would love a look back at the man who is still referred to as “The Best There Was.” June 3, 2015, marks the 20th anniversary of Hamel’s passing, but the legacy of this talented individual lives on in the stories of those who knew him, both as a motorcycle rider and as a person. Although the story of Danny Hamel has a tragic ending, the tale of this man is a brightly shining account of happiness, enthusiasm, and love, and it is in this spirit that we have chosen to revisit the life of one of off -road racing’s favorite sons. hey heard him before they saw him; Class 22: Pro Motorcycles, come through the cor- seconds behind the rider in front of him.

08 AGM Vegas News Release.Pdf
PRESS INFORMATION Team All German Motorsports triumphs at Las Vegas • Second win of the season for AGM-Duo Schwarz/Christensen • RTL TV Anchor Nazan Eckes at the wheel of 600+hp Buggy • Kremer/Pfankuch without luck after strong performance 09.09.2008. Viva Las Vegas! The American-German squad of All German Motorsports made headlines at Las Vegas, where normally only the great names of international show biz are in the limelight. At the SCORE Terrible PRIMM 300, the fourth out of five rounds of the world’s toughest off-road racing series, All German Motorsports celebrated an immaculate flag-to-flag win in Class 1 for Unlimited Buggys. With 24 race cars, Class 1 was the strongest contingent in a field of 142 competitors. German rally ace, Armin Schwarz and his Californian driver colleague Martin Christensen rounded out their triumph with a podium finish in the overall classification. Despite two flat tyres the German/American duo piloted their 640hp Buggy to third overall amongst the 200hp more powerful Trophy Trucks. Roger Norman/Larry Roeseler secured the overall win ahead of Brian Collins/Chuck Hovey in second. “A perfect weekend,” beamed Armin Schwarz. ”Once again our AGM team did a perfect job. Our car only gave us minor problems. We narrowly missed out on a truly huge sensation.” A delighted Martin Christensen jokes: “But we thought we’d better save the overall win for the season highlight, the BAJA 1000 in November,“ and adds, “Our strategy worked perfectly. On the brutal tracks Armin managed to pull away from the rest of the field during his two lap stint over 144 miles.
