Sturgis Motorcycle Rally - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The first rally was held on August 14, 1938, by the 'Jackpine Gypsies' motorcycle club, who still own and operate the tracks, hillclimb, and field areas where the rally is centered. The first event was called the 'Black Hills Classic' and consisted of a single race with nine participants and a small audience. The founder is generally considered to be Clarence 'Pappy' Hoel. He purchased an Indian Motorcycle franchise in Sturgis in 1936 and formed the 'Jackpine Gypsies' that same year."
