Legendary early motorcycle racer, race car builder and pioneering auto and motorcycle dealership owner Floyd “Pop” Dreyer was honored Saturday, April 21 with an Indiana Racing Memorial Association (IRMA) historic marker. “IRMA was founded in 2013 to celebrate the history of racing in Indiana,” IRMA co-founder Brian Hasler said. “Pop Dreyer is one of that breed of individual who challenged speed both as an early motorcycle racer and as an outstanding builder of championship race cars.” Dreyer’s list of accomplishments are many, including, early era Flxible and Indian motorcycle racer; a Duesenberg mechanic on the 1922 Indy 500-winning team; a designer of land speed race cars; a builder of midgets and sprint cars; and as a BMW dealer and the first franchiser of a Honda motorcycle dealership east of the Mississippi and the longest continuously owned Honda dealership in the nation. The unveiling event will take place at the Dreyer Honda dealership located at 4152 W. Washington Street in Indianapolis. The Dreyer & Reinbold racing team, which competed full time in the early seasons of the Indy Racing League, still competes in the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil. The team will field entries this season for American veteran drivers JR Hildebrand and Sage Karam. “IRMA is very pleased that Pop Dreyer will be the 33rd recipient of one of our race-themed historic markers and that he will be part of our ‘starting lineup’ of marker inductees,” Hasler said. “This event will help us continue our work here in Indiana and beyond in recognizing those who have contributed so much to the sport of racing.”
