I was organizing my collection of old motorcycle publications the other day and came across this yellowing copy of the October 1983 edition of American Roadracing. American Roadracing was WERA’s newsletter through 1986 when the publication went independent with John Ulrich taking the reins. After Ulrich left to start Roadracing World, American Roadracing went through several ownership changes and continued to publish for several years. The publication is remembered today mainly from of a series of pull-out AR posters (most shot by Tom Riles) some of which still hang on the garage walls of road racing fans across the country.
The cover from the October 1983 edition of American Roadracing, then a newsletter for WERA, covering the 24 Hours of Nelson Ledges.
