A Benelli 350/4, an AJS "Triple Knocker", and AJS Porcupine are just some of the other rare Grand Prix bikes in house. The "work horse" racing machines include , and an ex-Dick Mann BSA III. Through expert tuning skills, these vintage bikes are faster than ever and have won more than three hundred races. In 1988, Team Obsolete culled the members of several vintage race clubs around the USA and formed the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association (AHRMA) into a strong and self sufficient organization that now runs a 4,000 member, twenty race nationwide schedule. Team Obsoletes was the originator of the first AMA sanctioned Vintage Road Races at Daytona, Loudon, Mid-Ohion, Laguna Seca and Del Mar. Team Obsolete is in its second year of holding the AHRMA National Championship in 350 GP, and is promoting Vintage Races in the US, and is parading its exotic motorcycles around the world. Team Obsolete will be the Promoter of several Vintage Events during 1997 (and Beyond) in the USA and Europe.

Founded in the early 1960’s AAMRR was the club that laid the foundation for road racing on the east coast. Here’s a collection of rulebooks from the archive. Team Obsolete got it’s start racing AJS 7R, Matchless G50 and BSA triples with AAMRR when the bikes weren’t “vintage” they were just outdated. This pack of DIY zine style rulebooks is a testament to what can be built with humble beginnings. “aamrr IS road racing”

Arter Special MK1 powered by a Matchless G50 engine. Last ridden by Michelle Duff to celebrate the 50th anniversary of theCanadian GP at Mosport. This is the very same bike ridden in that hard fought race landing Duff with a podium finish in front of the home crowd. Considering the opposition was Giacomo Agostini (MV Agusta 500/3) and Mike Hailwood (Honda rc181) it certainly secured Michelle a spot as one of the legends of Canadian motorsport.
