About Bobby Hill
Lived 1922 – 2022 (aged 99–100). Bobby Hill was an American motorcycle racer.
Allen Robert Hill (July 8, 1922 — July 12, 2022) was an American motorcycle racer. He won the A.M.A. Grand National Championship in 1951 and 1952 by virtue of his victories on the Springfield Mile.
During the 1947 season Hill moved to Grove City, Ohio to be closer to the racing action. After coming so close to winning his very first national, Hill won his first race in Atlanta on Aug. 8, 1948, and even then he had to share the victory. In one of the most memorable races ever, Hill and Billy Huber crossed the line in a dead heat and both were declared winner, the only time that has happened in AMA racing history.
