Bryan Grupe is 8 years old.  He has been riding motorcycles for 3 years and racing for 2.  His love for racing began when I took him to the AMA Superbike races at VIR in Alton, VA;  the first time he saw those bikes racing past us he told me that he wanted to be a professional racer.  At Christmas Bryan received his first minimoto and the following summer we found a local club and he started racing.  The past two years he raced minimotos for CAPRA/CAMRA and TSMMR and has consistently finished in the top 5 in the championship points.   This season he is racing a YSR50 in addition to racing minimotos.  Racing the YSR50 in the local club is preparing him to compete in the WERA “Superbike 50” Class.  Bryan is eligible for his WERA license August 11, 2008 and will be racing in both the Northeastern and Mid-Atlantic Regions in 2009.  To learn more about Bryan and his progress in this sport  please visit 4RKDzz Racing.
