(February 3, 2026) — Introduced in 2021, the Dick Mann National Vintage Challenge (DMNVC) is one of the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association’s (AHRMA) most prestigious Championships. This competition pays tribute to motorcycle racing legend Dick Mann and mirrors the spirit of the illustrious Grand National Championship by bringing together AHRMA’s diverse on- and off-road disciplines. Participants must compete in Vintage Motocross, Cross Country, Trials, and/or Flat Track and Road Racing events to showcase their versatility and skill.

For 2026, the DMNVC will be a team-based competition, with teams composed of riders from either the Western or Eastern region. Each two-rider team emphasizes teamwork, strategy, and nationwide collaboration. Teams will be self-formed by riders and will not be assigned through random draws.

Intent and Eligibility
The DMNVC celebrates the spirit of classic motorcycle racing, encouraging riders to compete across multiple disciplines while fostering camaraderie and honoring the legacy of Dick Mann. The challenge is open to riders who are members of AHRMA and meet the event’s competition criteria. Teams must declare their intent to participate before the championship begins.
