Albany attorney Jerry Brimberry (front row 2nd from left), had recently become the proud owner of a Harley Davidson.
One evening, coming back from dinner in his vehicle, Jerry and his son, Jay, were at a stop light, when Harley riders, Jerry Johnson, Mark Lewis and Joe Frizone, pulled up to the light. Jerry rolled down his window and exchanged greetings and addresses.
The first meeting was held in September, 1990, with about 6 or 7 persons in attendance...thus the IHRA was born.

On the 10th Anniversary meeting of the IHRA, on September 2000, because of his support and extraordinary service to the IHRA and with the unanimous vote of all the members, Jerry Brimberry was indoctrinated as an IHRA Lifetime Member.
