Mitch McGinnis
Mitch is a veteran racer who has been on “hiatus” for many years and is now back in the game racing an ’08 Honda CBR1000rr on the new Michelin, Power One, motorcycle racing tires. Mitch is racing as a Novice this year, but is leading in the points in the Formula 40 class. This is not an average class, it is actually a very competitive class as many of the riders are similar to Mitch in that they used to race and are now, “back in the game”.
Mitch hails from Oklahoma and runs a successful business as a commercial painter. Mitch understands the dedication and discipline required to win and much of his success in racing is a reflection of Mitch, himself. What’s also great to know about Mitch is that he brings his family with him to the racetrack including his son, Sean, and his girlfriend, Beverly. They are always there to support Mitch and take time out to visit with the other riders and their families. This is a big part of the culture at the CMRA (www.cmraracing.com) where you will meet many families who are dedicated to the sport and the success of the club.
Mitch is racing in the full “racing package” offered by Komodo. His racing leathers are the highly acclaimed K-FX race suit and his racing gloves are the K-FX model, as well. Mitch also wears the highly proven FX racing boot and even our CE rated back protector and Motorcycle Undersuit to assist in riding comfort and safety. All of these racing products work together as a system that allows Mitch to stay focused and be successful on the race track. Mitch knows that racing success requires the best products and technology including your riding gear because your safety as a rider can not be compromised if you want to win.
Komodo Gear wants to take this opportunity to introduce Mitch to our followers so you can actually see real riders racing their hearts out. It’s a great way to get an “inside feel” for club racing and how Komodo Gear integrates into the success of the riders and their racing careers. We want to thank Mitch and his family for believing in Komodo and giving us the opportunity to support him in his “comeback” to the top!
Riders come and go. This is a known fact. The average racing career spans a short 3 years, but that’s not the case with Joe Prussiano. Joe is a racer who has covered a lot of tracks over the past 18 years. Not only is Joe fast, he’s smooth and he’s not a crasher. Joe has quite the racers’ resume: WERA, CMRA, AMA, Pike’s Peak and even World Endurance. Wow…I think Joe has earned a lot of racer’s respect and doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. Joe is a Pro who KNOWS his craft.
