Mike Pearlman and Jimmy Lewis To Be Inducted into ORMHOF
NORRA will be honoring two of their own at the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame Induction & Awards Gala honoring the ORMHOF Class of 2024. Second generation NORRA founder Mike Pearlman and Motorcycle Race Director Jimmy Lewis will be inducted this year. They both have a lifetime of dedication to the off road community.
Mike Pearlman was there in the very beginning back in 1967. He created the name for the new sport; off road racing. In 2010, Mike and Race Director Eliseo Garcia restructured NORRA into the organization it is today; expanding on an already impressive legacy. Jimmy Lewis took his riding skills to the pinnacle of international rally competition. He then focused his talents on sharing those skills with the next generation of athletes who compete on the world stage. As Motorcycle Race Director for NORRA, Jimmy is helping to bring even more people into the sport and provide competition and training at the highest level. NORRA could not be prouder of Mike and Jimmy who will join NORRA’s Ed Pearlman, Don Francisco, Robby Gordon and Bill Savage in The Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame.
NORRA has always Honored the Past while Forging the Future. Ed Pearlman created ORMHOF in 1978 when he inducted 16 pioneers of the sport such as Parnelli Jones, Steve McQueen, Dick Cepek, Bruce Meyers, Drino Miller, Bill Stroppe, Malcolm Smith, Don Francisco and several others who made great contributions to off road racing. The Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame is funded by members, partners, and donors, who support the Hall of Fame’s mission to educate and inspire present and future generations of the off-road community by celebrating the achievements of those who came before.
The induction ceremony will be held at the South Point in Las Vegas on the Sunday before The SEMA Show, November 3rd. A limited number of tickets are still available. For more information visit the Hall of Fame website. Legends live at ormhof.org.
