TRAVIS WYMAN
A brief biography of the racer in his own words.
08 | MOTOCLECTIC 10
I began racing and riding motorcycles at the age of 5 on the family farm in Upstate
Final concept the motorcycle REV2. Newrenderings York. Myoffirst was a 1998 Yamaha PW50 that was handed down
to me from my older brother. I loved riding. At age 5 you haven’t experienced much yet, but the thrill of excitement and adrenaline that my little body was able to produce was enough to get me hooked from day one.
M
y grandfather started a HarleyDavidson dealership back in 1963, and it grew into being a very successful motorcycle business for the small town of Macedon, a suburb of Rochester, NY, where I grew up. I was the middle of three brothers, and both of my parents raced motorcycles, mostly straight line drag racing, so racing ran in the blood.
years we traveled the country to different events and had some great success with this. In all of those years we had heard that many of the flat track racers had begun making the transition to pavement motorcycle road racing. A family that we looked up to heavily was the Hayden family, as they were also three brothers who made the switch to road racing after competition in dirt After many laps around the old farm track track for many years just like us. So we tried my brothers and I had built, I believe they felt our hands at some supermoto racing, which is a as though we might be ready for some racing mixture of dirt track and road racing. ourselves, so they took us down to the local flat I had some success with this as well, so the track motorcycle races held at the Crusaders TT transition to road racing had begun and this is just a short 45 minute drive away from our house where the story really gets interesting for me. In and we excelled right away. the fall of 2007 there was an advertisement for the From there, our family racing career took off. We Red Bull Rookies Cup. It was a series that they moved up the ranks in dirt track racing, competing were planning on running in coordination with at many of the local dirt tracks, stretching out to the AMA Superbike Championship that would neighboring states, and ultimately bringing us to highlight the young and up-and-coming riders to the Amateur Grand Nationals held in Springfield, showcase their talents on a national stage. Long story short, they held a try-out for this team, and Illinois, many, many years in a row. with very little road racing experience I was able Lots of “blood sweat and tears” as they say along to make it on. I had my best result of 10th place the way, but as we progressed my older brother in front of the world stage at Indianapolis Motor Kyle and I made it to the professional ranks of flat Speedway, and this is how my road racing career track racing in the United States. During those really began. Since then, I have 129 career starts, and I have obtained 5 wins, and 22 podium finishes. In the fall of 2017 I took on the challenge of competing on a motorcycle that is not commonly seen in road racing in the United States. I created a partnership with BMW Motorrad and decided to make a run at the MotoAmerica Stock 1000 championship aboard a BMW S1000RR. In the opening round of the championship at Road Atlanta we were able to create history by claiming Travis’s grandfather, Harv, and his wife Milly started their business on their farm with a chicken coop they converted into a Harley-Davidson dealership.

BMW’s first professional motorcycle victory in the history of the United States. From there I was able to capture another race victory at Virginia International Raceway. As the season went on we had our ups and downs and fell just short of winning the championship and finished in 2nd place overall. The goal for this season was to move up a step in the rankings but we have had some poor luck along the way and struggled to find our way back to the front. Long story short, we currently sit 4th in the championship point standings with 5 races left. So I hope to have more success to share with you in the coming months as the 2019 season comes to a close. Here’s a little more background on me: In 2013 I moved to Las Vegas, NV, and started a career in motorsports coaching. I currently am an instructor at the Ron Fellows Performance Driving School at a track located just outside of Las Vegas. I teach people how to drive and race a number of different vehicles such as
Corvettes, Cadillacs, and Radical race cars. I am also an instructor at the Ford Performance Racing School in Salt Lake City, Utah, working with all models of performance Ford machinery, including Mustangs, GT350’s, Focuses, Fiestas, Raptors... you name it. I am also an instructor at the California Superbike School where I have had the opportunity to coach at a number of different tracks in the US, and I also have had the opportunity to teach in the UK, Australia, India, Taiwan, and more to come! And to top it all off, I manage and run my own race team. I drive the rig to each event, fly in my crew guys, find sponsors, and pay for it all mostly out of my own pocket. It’s not an easy gig, but I couldn’t picture my life any other way. I know this is probably a lot more than what you had expected. And I meant to keep it short and sweet. But once I got started writing I just kinda took off with it lol. I currently write a column in the BMWRA On The Level magazine for every issue, so I am used to this sort of thing.

CODY WYMAN When I was 7, I ran my first race at Paradise Speedway in Geneva, New York, on a Yamaha PW50 and won the 2001 track championship there. I struggled a lot upgrading to a KX65, working with the clutch, but had much better success on 80s. I raced a KX80 when Travis ran a newer, faster Honda CR85. I believe that led to better results and higher motivation to get closer to the front.
I
n ‘05 I had a bad crash at Circleville, Ohio, which was easily the worst concussion of my career and I don’t remember much from that weekend. That was the first real time the sport punched back at me on a rain dampened half mile. I had some of my best results racing that Honda including finishing 3rd in the ‘06 AMA Amateur Grand Nationals at Duquoin, Illinois—my best finish in final standings at the Grand Nationals. Also, that’s when I started to love the numerous pea gravel half-miles across Ohio and Canada that I found great success in, with wins at multiple Ohio tracks and a special win in a support race in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada leading wire-to-wire.

I’ll never forget one day, I think in ‘05, my brothers and I took our bikes to the Batavia go-kart track and it was the first time I had ridden two wheels on asphalt. It was one of the most fun days I’ve ever had. I was fast and tidy leaning it over and impressed others, but probably myself the most. Then one winter I broke my tibia and fibula in a skiing accident and was in a full leg cast for about seven months, missing a lot of racing, which definitely put me a step behind. I was undersized—as were all of us—when we first hopped on 250s and 450s, cutting the foam out of the seats to touch tippy-toes on one side. I

raced a 250 2-stroke a majority of the year and was overwhelmed with the speed of my competitors at my first AMA Nationals with the likes of Brad Baker, Hayden Gillim, and Jake Lewis. It definitely took some fun out of it, but I can only blame myself. I wasn’t practicing at home like I used to, nor was I taking it as seriously as I should have.
Supermotard bikes for a weekend at Barber. I felt fast on Honda 125’s for a couple years, racing two or three WERA events, and won my first road race in 2009 at Beaver Run (Pittsburgh International Race Complex) and felt great having fun again on a bike. My goal was to race in USGPRU, the national series for 125cc GP bikes and this was my chance to race against the flat trackers that beat me pretty bad in the past. It was a stacked field in USGPRU: Jake Lewis, Miles Thornton, Stefano Mesa, Ben Young, Nobi Iso, Ryan Matter, Cassidy Heiser, and more. I was happy to be able to compete closer to the front.
It was in ‘08 that the Red Bull Rookies Cup had tryouts. Travis and I did our best at Barber. We both made the cut for day two, and I missed it for the final day of tryouts. Travis ended up making the team. I was pretty devastated at the time. But Travis making that team was one of the best things to happen to my racing and our I was headed to our home track, at the time called racing family. New Jersey Motorsports Park Lightning Circuit. Kyle got an older GSXR600 from a flat track friend I had a lot of laps and put a lot of pressure on who also made the transition to road racing, and myself to show what I could do in front of other we got two older Honda RS125’s for Travis and nationally acclaimed racers.

off with a mega high side photo, and had the next worse concussion of my life, and was ruled out for the race. I’ve never been so defeated knowing I couldn’t race. But it’s all again on me; I’m the one who made the mistake and opened the throttle too quick on a green track in the morning. That was it for the smaller 125 two stroke machines. I then got on Kyle’s older GSXR600 for the first time and was blown away with the power. After a couple track days we said, “what the hell?” and entered me in the AMA Super Sport at Mid-Ohio. During my first race, I’ll never forget getting passed by Cam Beaubier into turn 5 and seeing the corner speed I was supposed to be carrying. It was quite the experience all season to be in the field, but I didn’t get results that I would’ve liked. I didn’t race at all the next year and then raced Suzukis and cracked the top ten a few times that year.
In 2016 I only did one race—the Race of Champions at Daytona—and had some top 5s in the expert classes, and nearly won the ASRA sport bike race before getting clipped at the line by Daytona 200 champion Michael Barnes. In 2018 we attempted to have similar results in the same race but motor issues daunted the weekend and I wasn’t able to race on Sunday at all.
Now it’s August 2019 and I’m proud to say I’ll be getting back in the saddle, with a little different situation, since I’m going back to my lightweight racing background. I will be racing in MotoAmerica in the Liqui Moly Junior Cup aboard a Westby Racing Yamaha YZF-R3 prepped by Chuck Giacchetto. I am very happy to be back in the pro paddock and will give it my all to have results and hopefully restart my racing career. After a few years away it’s tough to find the feel In 2014 I had my best two pro finishes of 4th and 5th and confidence again. But I am 100% committed at Daytona in the season opener but only had three to performing to the best of my ability, preparing top tens combined for the rest of the year during physically and mentally for the final three rounds a six-round failing AMA/DMG championship. of the championship.

CODY JOHNCOX As an experiment, we asked Cody Johncox the same exact questions we asked Dave Waters. Surprisingly, we got the same exact answers. Just kidding, but really, we asked the same questions.
24 | MOTOCLECTIC
MOTOCLECTIC: Define success for you in this sport. CODY: Success is definitely any time we’re at a track, even if we are not racing, as long as we’re having fun and learning each and every time were at a track. MOTOCLECTIC: Why do you race? CODY: I race because there is no other feeling in the world quite like it to me. On a day when you’re right on point from the start and it feels just right. Then you get on the bike it’s like an out of world experience. MOTOCLECTIC: When did you start riding? CODY: I started riding at 3 years old in my back yard. MOTOCLECTIC:When did you start racing? CODY: MY first race was 4 years old at Medina TT. MOTOCLECTIC: What was your first motorcycle? CODY: My first motorcycle was a PW50-the white and magenta one (because boys didn’t have pink bikes). MOTOCLECTIC: What do you ride right now? CODY: Right now my race bike is a Yamaha MT-07, and I have a ‘18 YZ450F set up for dirt track and a ‘16 YZ450F set up for motocross. MOTOCLECTIC: What class do you race?
CODY: I am racing the AFT Production Twins class and the AFT Twins class when there isn’t a production class. MOTOCLECTIC: What is your favorite track? CODY: Springfield Mile MOTOCLECTIC: What was your best day on the track? CODY: August 24th, 2013, the day I won the Virginia Mega Mile. It was the best day because my dad, who was my mechanic, had to stay home and run the business so I drove down with my buddy Austin Luczak who was racing the same class as me and won the race, and kinda proved to myself that I can do this no matter what. MOTOCLECTIC: What was your worst day on the track? CODY: There is no bad days at the track!!! Haha, but if I had to pick it would probably be one of the days I crashed and wasn’t able to continue on. MOTOCLECTIC: How do you deal with a bad day? CODY: On a bad day, depending on what I have time for, I normally like to hop on a bike of some sort and just go ride, even if it’s a pedal
www.motoclectic.com | 25
bike, crank some tunes and just get lost being on two wheels!
MOTOCLECTIC: What are your favorite race conditions?
MOTOCLECTIC: What is your pre-race routine?
CODY: Well that really depends on the type of track. If its a clay track smooth and big groove. Cushion, wet deep rough something very technical where if you mess up you really mess up. Maybe even little rain too too keep the track wet.
CODY: Pre-race routine, um I don’t normally have one honestly. I like to watch the track a few races before mine with my mechanic, Mike Luczak, and make a decision if we need to make a change then I normally sit in my chair and focus until its time to go. MOTOCLECTIC: Who is your biggest fan? CODY: Umm,I have a few: My family and my mechanic Mike Luczak of Luczak racin’. MOTOCLECTIC: What is your ultimate goal/win? CODY: Ultimate goal this year is all about getting notes and showing that we are contenders with My new Chassis and motor combos. Next Year I wanna be top three in overall points.

MOTOCLECTIC: Who is your inspiration? CODY: I always looked up to my father and grandfather who both raced before me. But growing up my professional hero was and still is Mike Hacker. MOTOCLECTIC: What advice do you have for someone thinking about racing? CODY: Practice practice practice. There is always ways to make it fun, Motorcycle racing, anything with two wheels. Don’t be afraid to try to ride different disciplines, anything you have fun doing on the bike is going to make you a better rider.
to transition that back into a mechanic for a flat racer when my time is up racing. MOTOCLECTIC: What music is your guilty pleasure? CODY: Oh boy, that’s a tough one! It all depends on my mood and what I’m doing. I listen to everything but jazz and blues basically. I just have never been able to get into those genres. But who knows one day if the mood is right I might finding myself listening to jazz flute. MOTOCLECTIC: Is racing a full-time job for you?
MOTOCLECTIC: Have you thought about life after racing? CODY: Yes I have I would always like to be in the industry. I’m a mechanic at a Yamaha Suzuki dealership. It has crossed my mind once or twice
CODY: Yes and no. Haha. It certainly feels like a full time job sometimes. Between driving to the races, maintaining bikes, maintaining relationships with sponsors and fans, training and practicing. It’s a full time job I really enjoy! But I also have my second job which I enjoy so much which is working at Sunnyside Cycle, a Yamaha Suzuki dealership in Alexander, New York. You can find me in the service department and parts.

MOTOCLECTIC: What keeps you busy besides racing?
MOTOCLECTIC: Best thing on streaming TV right now?
CODY: Training whether its riding Moto or ice, or working out at the gym, road biking and most recently I got into mountain biking and I really enjoy that. Not related at all to racing would be fishing and hanging out with my friends!
CODY: Ummm I don’t know… Shameless or Letterkenny.
MOTOCLECTIC: What’s your favorite movie?
CODY: I’m going to have to say vampires because of the blood sucking like mosquitos and I hate mosquitos because I’m so sweet.
CODY: Ohhh man, I have so many. I love watching movies. I would pick a movie over a tv show any day of the week! So some of my favorites are Days of Thunder, American Pie, and anything Harry Potter (big Harry Potter nerd)

jeremy higgins Jeremy and his wife, Amber, talk to Dan and Scott about the highs and lows of their experience at Pikes Peak International Hill Climb with RIT’s Electric Vehicle Team. [Editor’s note: I thought about re-organizing this so it’s linear, but instead, just enjoy the natural flow of our conversation.]
30 | MOTOCLECTIC
Jeremy Higgins isn’t an easy man to pin down. If you’ve been following his story, you’ll know that he keeps a full schedule. After a months-long build-up, then finally the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado, he returned to his normal routine, and we were able to meet for a few hours and talk.
M
y wife and I sat across a table from Jeremy and Amber at Bourbon & Burger in lovely Batavia, NY, this time without the noise and distraction of trivia night. “I think we’ll have better audio than last time,” Jeremy said laughing. “It’ll be nice to actually hear each other,” I said. “When exactly was that meeting?” Amber told us it was a few weeks before they left for Colorado. When I asked if everything was set for their departure, Jeremy said, “Not quite. We were still prepping the bike when we got out to Colorado. We were still finishing up safety wiring, and stuff like that. The Thursday before we left, that night I stopped by RIT after work, and loaded a ton of stuff into my truck, drove home, caught some sleep. Then Friday we loaded all my gear, helmet, clothes, the dog, and all that stuff. We got there mid-afternoon Saturday.” Heather’s parents came with them, and Sunday morning, the RIT crew arrived from the airport. They set up their own “pit” in the driveway of their cabin. “We were going over the bike, checked the fluids, topped off the water... made sure everything survived the trip. We actually had to replace the front brake rotors, because I warped them at the last test at NY Safety Track. We wanted a new set of Brembo rotors...” Here, Dan arrived, and rudely interrupted the conversation. Monday was registration and tech inspection. “Tech was pretty cool. It was in a massive—like a field house. I don’t know if was for a professional sports team, or some sort of arena. All the rigs were in the parking lot. It was like a car show, so I just walked around and looked at everything. So, you had to have your helmet, your leathers, back brace. For the electric bikes, they had to make sure your siren was a certain decibel level [From the rule book: All electric powered entries must
be fitted with an audio warning system that produces a constant audio warning at a minimum of 120 decibels as measured three feet from the vehicle]. “They only thing we needed to adjust was the size of our [race] numbers. There is a certain required height [12 inches], and ours were a little shy. We had larger numbers with us, so we just slapped those on the bike. Food arrived. Dan ordered a Yuengling and Amber said, “Growing up in PA, if you want a Yuengling, you just ask for a Lager.” We all agreed that Yuengling is high on our “affordable” beer list. “Rider orientation was for all the racers,” Jeremy said, “and geared toward the rookies. We met at the base of the mountain and took a shuttle bus up. We’d stop at the corners, and we had maps, so we’d take notes at each turn, like ‘this is a heavy braking zone,’ or this one—there were a couple right and left-handers that would have double or triple apexes, just because it’s a road and not designed as a race track.” Here we talked about GoPro video, and Jeremy described a few of the turns, and a triple-apex left. “It was so hard to time it, and make it one consistent corner, without having to pick the bike up, get on the brakes, then set it back down. It was tough. Honestly, orientation was overwhelming. You had time to look at all the consequences around you.” “And reconsider your decision?” I asked. “It’s ungodly scary up there,” Jeremy replied. Amber said, “I think it’s the first night I’ve seen you not be able to sleep.” “I was so worked up,” Jeremy said. “Not scared, but anxious...” “It was tough to comprehend,” Amber said. Dan said, “It has to be so foreign from anything you’ve done.” Jeremy laughed, and said, “I’m a dirt track racer. We have 2 corners.” He pointed at imaginary corners. “One

there, and one down there, with two straightaways... go real fast.” He makes it sound so simple. Jeremy took a few minutes to enjoy his meal, then continued. “Carlin Dunne was our orientation guide. There were eight or ten rookies that rode together in the bus. It was cool, but I remember watching Carlin talk about the race like it was just another day. He wasn’t even fazed, and that’s what made me calm down. Obviously this guy’s a badass. But he was so calm, and that made me feel better.” He took another bite and continued. “Driving up was probably one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.” He described the amazing vistas on the way up the mountain. The orientation ride was on a clear day, and on such days one can see five states from the peak. Here we had a discussion about which states exactly, how the square states are hard to remember, and that we desperately needed a geography lesson. Thankfully a map of US breweries hung on the wall behind us. (If you’re wondering, you can see Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Kansas.) Amber told us that, “in a car, the fastest we made the ascent was 47 minutes. Now compare that to being on track for an 11-minute trip on a motorcycle.” She continued. “The most amazing thing to see for me was, when you get toward the top, where there are no trees, no bushes, the road just goes off into nothing. That’s why they call it the race of the clouds. You can’t see anything but the sky.” “That was the tricky part when you get toward the middle of the track,” Jeremy said. “There is no
reference point. You round a right-hand sweeper and the trees stop, and it’s just sky. No guardrail. Nothing. It was unbelievable.” Practice involved running the course in three parts, split between Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Everyone got to run a sweep lap, intended to familiarize riders with the course, and likewise check for any obstacles that may have entered the road. “Sunrises from the peak are beyond comprehension,” Amber said. “The stars and Milky Way are breathtaking.” Months of planning did not prepare them for the beauty and magnitude of the Rocky Mountains and Pikes Peak. We talked at length about travels, nature, sites we’d like to see, and how pictures never do justice to the actual experience. After a bit, our conversation returned to racing. Jeremy took a drink and said, “There is no room for error. Going off the road has serious consequences. Your choices include trees, rocks, or a cliff.” “The race organizers drilled that into them during the practice; they got nothing from going as fast as possible. Practice is to learn the course and how to avoid trouble,” Amber said. Jeremy and Amber expressed their delight over the kindness of everyone they met. This was the 97th running of Pikes Peak, and Colorado Springs embraces the race and the participants. “Everyone was so friendly,” Amber said. “And we could take our dog everywhere.” Jeremy continued. “The top section of the mountain is f-ing brutal. How cold do you think it was?” He looked at Amber “It wasn’t just the cold,” she said. “We weren’t near the top, but it was so windy you couldn’t even bear it. And at the top, there was a no-running rule—because of the altitude sickness.” “If you or someone on your crew runs, then they’ll be out for the rest of the day. If you just run to grab something, your body isn’t acclimatized, and you think you’re fine, but then you’ll just pass out. Well, then an ambulance has to come get you,” Jeremy said.
A small sample of the twists and turns Jeremy dealt with on the way up Pikes Peak.

“They’re serious about that.” Jeremy said, “We stopped at the grocery store just before we went to our cabin, and as we loaded the truck, we were out of breath. It took us a second to realize it was the altitude.” Laughing, Amber said, “Our shampoo burst out when we opened it.” Altitude isn’t something I’d normally prepare for. None of my baking would have turned out right. Jeremy went on. “The elevation of our cabin was actually a huge benefit, since it was a few thousand feet higher than Colorado Springs.” “Some racers were pumping oxygen,” Amber said, “but us being able to sleep at that altitude, he didn’t even notice.” He was instructed to not exert himself for a week. Getting hypoxia would make you nearly nonfunctional for four or five days. Staying hydrated was also critical. Jeremy also abstained from beer during the entire trip. It was pretty brutal. Every night they were asleep by 7pm, because they had to get up around 1am. Amber described their daily drive. “Leaving the cabin, plus getting the bike required getting up at almost midnight to make it to the gate in time.”
Race day’s schedule was a little different, but not in a good way. “Race day was Sunday,” Jeremy said, “so we were up at 10:30 pm, Saturday night.” Before race day, all of the cars were in one location and bikes were in their own spot. But once race day rolled around, everyone was in the same pit. Jeremy was pleased with his location. “I was two spots down from Travis Pastrana.” The gates opened at 1am, but the races didn’t start until 7. Their six-hour wait involved breakfast burritos and last-minute mental preparation. “You wouldn’t sleep,” Amber said, looking at Jeremy. “No, because I didn’t want to get all groggy. So I just walked around and took it all in. We were pitted by 2am, and then they opened it up to spectators to get to the viewing points. It was an endless line of cars filing up the mountain.” “He watched Carlin Dunne’s run every day.” “I probably watched it four to five times a day, and then I would download my GoPro footage, and watch that. The videos of Carlin were from all different angles, but my onboard stuff was from my handlebars, and I’d watch that over and over again. I wore my cell phone battery out three times on the morning of the race, watching, then replaying. There are 156 corners.

fade to the white line,’ or something. Try this, or try that.”
As the sun came up, the temperature climbed from the 30s into the 50s. Jeremy stretched and warmed up his leathers.
While he waited at the bottom, the temperature continued to rise, but he was reluctant to remove his leather, knowing he faced temps in the 30s toward the top. He decided he’d brave the cold in an Under Armour top, rather than sweat to death at the bottom.
In the hot pit, racers are only allowed a four-person support crew, tire warmers, and some simple tools. The starting area is in a different location than the starting line. There, an official checks to see if you’re set to go. When he waves the green flag, that means you’re set to go. Down the road, around a left sweeper, the start arch comes into view and, framed within it, Pikes Peak. The first start left at 7:30, and racers are spaced 2.5 minutes apart. Jeremy was 5th in line. As the 4th rider prepared to go, and Jeremy got his helmet on, the red flag went up. The first rider had crashed, forcing the following two to return to the start line. The build-up and anticipation fizzled as Jeremy waited 45 minutes to start. “I made great friendships with the other guys,” he said, “because we were pitted together all week. It’s not a race—we’re not sizing each other up.” “I was going to ask,” I said. “What is the camaraderie like?” Dan asked. “You’re racing against yourself, right?” Jeremy replied, “Right. You’re not rubbing elbows with the other guy. Everyone is very supportive of each other. During the week, we were practicing and talking about tough corners, or whatever. Dude, I’m seeing this, and someone would say, ‘Oh you need to

Jeremy continued. “Everyone was getting anxious, but then it got rolling. The race was almost the most boring part.” “Maybe for you,” Amber said. “For the rest of us, when the other bikes left, you could see them around one of the turns. You, well, we could only hear the siren. We left the start area, then sprinted—which we shouldn’t have done—to the timing area.” “Because there’s no live coverage?” I asked. “Right,” Jeremy said. “The laps are minutes apart. So you can expect the next rider to be right behind.” “We’re watching the times, and we know what’s good,” Amber said. “We knew when he should hit each mark, so when the rider behind him hit the next mark, we were like, um, wait a minute. It’s insane. What happened? Who do I talk to? Then they threw the red flag. I couldn’t get an answer. Jeremy said, “The only communication over the radio was, “Red Flag 82.” There was some confusion about the number actually said, because someone else before Jeremy was #828. Seven minutes passed before Amber and the RIT crew got an answer. Officials told her that he was off the track and he was safe.
“That’s a horrible seven minutes,” Dan said. Amber nodded and said, “And that was it. It was done. All we could do was spend the next 10 hours cheering on the other riders.” Jeremy shrugged. “I got to sit on the track at mile 16. It was a really nice switchback section, and you could see a lot of the track. It was cool, I had a system—I was sitting, feet dangling off the cliff—I could see one section, and I could watch one guy for two corners, then I could turn and watch another guy for two. It was my own little time trial. “ In the beauty of Pikes Peak, and despite his great attitude, he was of course disappointed. “I was disappointed for the RIT team. I didn’t finish for RIT, rather than for me. I’ve had wins in my career, and I’ve had really shitty defeats, and I’m used to that. They’ve been working for this one goal, and it didn’t happen.” The bike had overheated. During the test runs, all of the temperatures were fine, but they were only running 1/3 of the track each day. Each section alone wasn’t enough to stress the machine. In addition to the added distance, Jeremy was in full race mode. While he’d been cautious before, this was the day to let it rip. They also surmise altitude and air density may play into the overheating.
We discussed all of the variables that come into play, which we dullards might not even consider. Amber, speaking to Jeremy, said, “You’re a smart guy, but not RIT engineer smart. You and your dad, and my dad know so much about racing and motorcycles, but they (the students) all consider the technical details we don’t even think about.” As we wrapped up, we returned to the beauty of Colorado, and then the tough parts of the story none of us really wanted to bring up. During the race, fourtime winner Carlin Dunne had a fatal crash not far from the finish line, and RIT student Billy Eskeli died on the way home when a drunk driver crashed into their car. Jeremy looked at us all and said, “How do I answer the question of ‘How did it go?’ There were massive ups and massive downs, and I don’t want them to take away from each other. They have to be their own thing, and taken individually.” The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb board of directors decided to cancel all motorcycle categories for 2020. Regardless of that decision, Jeremy and the RIT EVT have been putting the REV2 through its paces at road racing events, and in early August, took 2nd place at an AHRMA event at Gingerman Raceway. Jeremy plans to race Pikes Peak again. Follow the RIT EVT Team on Facebook and Instagram

JIM DISALVO “At 82, you start to forget a lot.” Jim DiSalvo looked up from the stack of photo albums and smiled at the two of us. He’d just flipped through the last crinkly pages packed with pictures of tracks, bikes, and smiling faces, spanning years and continents. We knew we’d barely scratched the surface of his son Jason’s remarkable career. Jim is clearly proud. A few hours earlier, Jim had welcomed us into his home and led us into the trophy room. We walked along the wall of trophies and plaques, and the stories began to flow freely. He’d point to a trophy and tell us about the race, or a picture and how the endorsement happened, but then, he opened up a storage closet to show us Jason’s custom Shoei helmets, and that’s where we spotted his old brown and white leather racing suit.
Photos of Jim and his son, Jason, in his early racing days.

“Yeah, that’s mine from when I raced,” he said, holding it up on the hanger. “You see, they shot me in the arm?” he said with a laugh. Then, a little more seriously, “You see the crash?” he asked, pointing to the scuffs along the entire left side. “That’s how I ended my career. At 42 years old I crashed at Mosport in Canada. I got off the track and came in to my buddy Frank’s shop, and I said, ‘take it all, and sell it. I’m keeping my leathers and my helmet, my boots and my gloves,’ and I drove back home.” The conversation went back to Jason for a bit while we walked up to the kitchen with photo albums piled on the table. Jim flipped one open, and the first faded pictures we saw were of a younger Jim, his wife Connie, and a gang of others with unruly 70s hair and cutoff jeans sitting in lawn chairs beside a Dodge Ram Maxiwagon. “You’ve gotta remember,” Jim said, “I started racing at 40; he [Jason] started racing before he was four!” “I not only raced, but I was also a race promoter. That was my promotion company,” he said, pointing to a poster. “I promoted that race, and I raced in it, and I crashed, badly, and I lost the race, my ass, my house, and almost my wife.”
tried to put it all together. When I raced, he raced “The trouble is trying to get it all chronological. as a youngster, and then I got involved with race I got ahold of my son, Tim, and he’s got a better promotion, and gave it up after I crashed and lost memory of it than I do. I’ve lost so much of it. We the house.”

The poster Jim showed us from his race promotion days.
“When I met Freddie Spencer, he was 14 and I was 40, but we pitted next to each other, in I think Las Vegas. At the track, his father said, ‘Keep an eye on Freddie for me, will you?’ I said sure, and told Freddie ‘follow me, then I’ll follow you.’ Well I followed Freddie and thought, oh shit, he’s faster than hell.” “Then he followed me, and when we came in he said, ‘You’ve got a different line than I have,’” Jim said, emulating a teenager trying hard to respect his elder. “And I said, laughing, ‘Yeah, you’ve got a better line!’”
40 | MOTOCLECTIC
‘Fast Freddie’ Spencer made a pretty good name for himself. We highly recommend reading up on his career. “We stayed in touch, and I actually signed him to a five-year contract, and promoted him.” Jim raced dirt from 1971 - 1974 on a 125cc Honda, and 175cc Bultaco. From 1974 - 1977 he raced road. He pointed to a picture of him rounding a corner on a Honda with the number 715 on the side. “I had the bike built by Pops Yoshimura Racing, from
California. Well, his son, Fujio, had opened a place in New Jersey, and I met him in Pennsylvania. He said I needed a better bike, so he took my 550 Honda, bored it out to a 600, put a fairing on it, a swingarm, and better brakes. I picked it up the day of the race, with the unpainted fairing.” Jim pointed out how he later painted the fairing brown to match his Dodge van. Thumbing through the photo album, Jim stopped to tell us about his marriage under the arch in St. Louis, with two kind strangers as witnesses on their lunch breaks. He went on about his family and then back to Jason and Tim’s racing. We let the discussion follow that path until we all had to go our separate ways, and Jim invited us back to continue the conversation. Our few hours drawing out the snippets of Jim’s time on the track was enjoyable beyond what we expected. Thank you, Jim for opening your home to us. We’ll write much more about Jason in the upcoming months. For now, let’s give this proud father a moment to shine.
