I first met KC in the early '00's when I ran a Supermoto school called Rocket Ranch.  He and his crew at BRG always came up with innovative and clever solutions for my racebike projects. 

My history as a motorcycle racer spans five decades.  A brief start  in 1976 with the AFM garnering inconsequential results at Ontario and Sears Point;  returning in 1984 through 1987 with several trophy finishes and 3rd Overall 600 Superstreet for Northern California 1986;  1988 WERA Endurance with 2nd Overall and 1st in class Mediumweight Superbike, Western States Endurance Racing Championship;  after which I retired.  The '90's saw me come out of retirement several times; then in the  '00's CCS Southwest Region 600 Superstreet, followed with Supermoto through 2005, after which I went back into retirement to spent time raising my daughter.

So now my daughter is 9 years old and my racer fire has not cooled off.  When I approached KC in early 2011 to rebuild my '01 GSX-R600 to return to AFM competition, I asked for a little more horsepower.  Little did I suspect he would cram a "breathed on"  750 motor into my 600 chassis.  Even though I managed to pass the AFM New Racer School (which I am required to do since I have not held a competition license in the last three years), I realized that while I still burn to race, my skills aren't quite up to turning wheels with the fellas in 750 Superstreet and F1 just yet.  So KC and I are building a Debri 50cc Supermoto framed - YZ250F motor - Moto3 special learning tool.  If I have to go back to school, I'm going with the best tuner/ mechanic/fabricator in the area on my side.  And I am honored to have the chance to be part of the BRG Racing Team.

Born and raised in Nascar City (Mooresville) North Carolina, I grew up around racing and was no stranger to riding dirtbikes. At 19 I joined the United States Air Force and was stationed out of Travis AFB in CA, serving over 8 years. During my time in the military, I served several tours in Europe and Korea & 2 tours in Iraq.

As my passion for riding grew, I knew the importance of safety on the road. I took the initiative and became a Motorcycle Safety Instructor for the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. The passion didn't end there, after being told I had a natural talent as a racer, I began my racing career in both supermoto and roadracing. I have developed a strict workout routine that will ensure that I'm in the best physical shape to accomplish my racing goals. For the 2012 season I will be racing nationally in the AMA Supersport class and the AFM 600 superbike and production classes.

I've been riding motorcycles now for approximately 3 years, with my first experiences being on a track. I fell in love with riding on a track and began roadracing with a passion. As a sponsor you will not be disappointed in my representation of your company. 

Genki Hagata

Genki  (pronounced: gen like the “gain” in again ‘a gén’ (not like gain on its own). The ki is like a car “key.”; like ‘Gecko’ not ‘Giraffe’) grew up outside of the motorsports world focusing on his talents in Shorinji Kempo and competitive gymnastics. It wasn’t until he was 19 that he first learned to ride a motorcycle. After riding on the street for almost 2 years he took to the track and immediately felt at home.

Genki started his racing career shortly after his first time at the track. In 2010 he started on a Kawasaki ZX-6R racing half of the AFM season in the clubman class. He rode a successful Novice season in 2011 finishing within the top 10 of the middleweight class; Improving leaps and bounds from the beginning of the season to the end.

In 2012, His first Expert year, he will continue to compete within the AFM and aims to be a competitive force within all of the expert middleweight classes.

In addition to racing with the AFM, Genki will be racing with WERA west, and in AMA Pro Road Racing Supersport.

Genki Trains Everyday to improve his riding skills and physical fitness to allow him to be as competitive as possible for the upcoming season. He is dedicated to the sport and will do everything possible to be successful.

Mickey Fimbres

My racing career began using my street Supermoto. Although I wasn’t very good I had a lot of fun. So Idecided road racing was better suited to me and began racing with the AFM on a Kawasaki Ninja 500 in 2003. In 2008 I bought a new Kawasaki Ninja 650, and started competing with other racing organizations such as WERA, WSMC, and AHRMA.

2012 Racing Goals:
Compete regularly with the AFM in Formula IV and 650 Twins, place in the top 10 every weekend, and continue to push my boundries for faster lap times, and ultimately get on the podium.
