Ray Abrams, A&A Racing, Sponsor: A&A started in 1961 by brothers Ray & Bill Abrams, the focus then was mainly on go karts. It wasn't long however until their love of motorcycles took over. In those days, being involved in racing was pivotal to their success. As Ray's involvement in racing grew, he saw the need to branch out and provide race components to the masses. In 1984, the opportunity to be more closely involved in dirt track racing came through racing tires. The next twelve years would find A &A traveling the whole Grand National circuit providing tires and service to the racers as well as providing a hospitality suite to series sponsor Camel. Ray and A&A Racing are still heavily involved in the progress of flat track racing. |

He has always been a motorcycle enthusiast, rider, racer and sponsor. Environmental awareness has always been important to Steve and led him to pursue "Going Green".
