WIND IN THE P34 the sport and promoting motor- cycling was something I owed. Compelling others to experience the joy I received from motor- cycles was my reward. And it is actually an honor to still be asked to help promote and give back to the sport. And I am so proud of the heights that it has reached." Bobbitt said, "[Being inducted] wasn't anything I expected or thought would happen, but it's quite the honor and it's so special to be among so many greats in motorcycling. It's neat to bring another rider from the Enduro discipline into the fold." "I'll never forget my first race," said Bradshaw. "If you'd told me that weekend that I'd have the success that I've had, I'd have never believed you." "It is an honor to be inducted into the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame," Ferracci said. "Thank you as well to the motorcycle media who covered Team Fast By Fer- racci, and to the fans who have supported me for many years." Johnson said, "What do you say, being grouped with all these men and women here in gold jackets? You've got one of my child heroes, Kevin Windham, here and Broc Glover, and what do you say to this crowd? I never looked at myself in this category. I was just a kid who rode around in circles in flat track, but I've got this gold jacket on, so I guess I did good enough." Since the 1970s, Sellers has given his life to motorcycle edu- cation and advocacy in his home state of Ohio and throughout the country. "I'm the face you see here to- night," Sellers said, "but there is an army of hundreds of motorcyclist activists in every state. I'm very happy I was able to play a small part in it. I leave you with these four words—motorcycling, the good life!" A lifelong devotion to drag racing led Dale "Holeshot" Walker to become one of the most note- worthy engineers in all of motor- cycle racing. "This is such a huge honor for me," Walker said. "Who would have ever thought that this young 21-year-old kid who started in his garage and named his shop Holeshot Performance would be standing here today? I love you, Mom and Dad…I did it!"
