Congratulations Bud Feldkamp, President of Glen Helen!

Every year the Board of Directors and Voting Committee encourage off-road enthusiasts to submit nominations for induction into the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame. Nominations for 2016 closed on April 30, with a record number of nominations received. This year's inductees include land use advocate Don Amador, racing pioneer Bud Feldkamp, Trackside Photo’s Jim Ober, five time Baja 1000 winner Larry Ragland, and racing team innovator Tracy Valenta.

Bud Feldkamp President of Glen Helen Raceway Inc. and racing pioneer.

To a whole generation of off-road racers, the combination of Dr. Bud Feldkamp and Malcolm Smith represented the pinnacle of the sport in the late 1970’s. In his blue and white Funco SS II (aka The Belray Bullet), Bud Feldkamp not only posted overall wins in two Baja 1000’s, three Baja 500’s and two Mint 400’s, but he also earned two consecutive desert championships, along with two Bilstein Madonna awards.

Since motorcycles were Bud’s first passion and ultimately what brought him to desert racing, it is fitting that he has taken that passion to Glen Helen Raceway where, as president, he has created a world class off- road venue, hosting such events as the AMA U.S. Motocross Nationals, FIM U.S. Grand Prix of Motocross and Lucas Oil Off Road Racing Series. This year's inductees will be inducted into the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame on Monday, October 31, 2016 at the South Point Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas.

Tickets are on sale now for the event.
