July 2010 Komodo Gear Rider of the Month- Joe Prussiano

July 30, 2010 / komodo / No comments

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.

Komodo Gear caught up with Joe at MSR Cresson in July. We were glad to see him and even better, he was still wearing his racing leathers from Komodo – all right, Joe! We spent a few minutes with Joe and even captured a short video for your viewing enjoyment along with some pictures. Racing can be a dangerous sport, prepare for success and prepare for the unknown. Komodo Gear specializes in race gear; check out our racing products at www.komodogear.com.
