The connection between the Patrol
and the AMA goes back to 1933 when the Patrol was created.
Jim Davis (featured on poster), was instrumental in forming
a motorcycle division within the Patrol and was also a world
champion racer. He later became involved with the AMA as a
deputy chairman of competition. For more on Jim Davis, visit
