About Us
This page is a little long, but if you are here, I figure you want to know a little bit about the band of merry pranksters on the other end of this internet connection. I like to know who I am dealing with on a website. It is nice to put a face to a name sort of thing. This website was created and is supported by Drummond (Drum) Evans and Jeff Homolka. We are located in Eugene, Oregon. Jeff and I have been racing flat track and supermoto for a little over two years now. No, we don’t have any national championships or even regional ones (3rd place, West Coast Amateur Nationals, 40+ class, 2005 is the best we can brag about), but we race as often as work and funds and time allow and we have a good time doing it. (as you can see by our smiles on the right!)

For flat track, I ride an old Yamaha TT500 in the vintage class. It was purchased a few years ago during a serious change in my life and I have never been so happy. It has been one heck of a steep learning curve, but could not be any more fun. Half of that fun is meeting new friends in the pits and on the road. Folks we have raced against and just others in the pits having a good time.

Our TT (affectionately called ‘The Beast’) is a stock framed bike that has had the head angle pulled in to 26 degrees. We have added a SR500 swingarm to give us a little more wheelbase and a complete XS650 front end to get the width necessary for the big front tire. We continue to tweak and perfect her. This has been a low budget operation since its inception. Not only for financial reasons, but also because we wanted to learn what and why we were doing things. We love to experiment and figure stuff out. True to our goal, we have learned many things that work and some that don’t work. 

Recently we have become experts at pulling the motor out of the frame and disassembling the top end. A friend of ours says we should not really be proud of the fact that we can have the motor in or out in about 15 minutes flat. Oh well, we are still kinda proud! Right now we have an SR motor under construction. The head is off at Johnson cams being worked on and getting a set of roller rocker arms and a new cam to make it go thumpa-thumpa. Then it will get a new Carillo rod and other updates. Hopefully next season will see us add a new pony to the stable, a modern 450 and take the program up to the next level.

Jeff is the supermoto racer. With his wife Susan (a Nurse Practitioner) taking care of medical duties in the pits, he goes out and tries to further damage a shoulder that is only hanging on by a shoelace. Jeff road raced years ago in Phoenix as a youngster and the need for speed just never got out of his system.

He is usually on his project TTR140. We are still working on perfecting the parts for this. We are also doing some work on the DRZ125 and will have a few products for that as well. We also carry wheels and tires for your project bike whether it be big or small.

Jeff has been working in the motorcycle industry for more than 20 years as everything from mechanic to shop manager and has been running ProCycle for more than 5 years now.

My interest with flat track started when I saw On Any Sunday. Actually before that a bit as I grew up in San Jose, home to The Mile for many years! But the movie just solidified it for me. Over the years I saw the Kawasaki triples run, the TZ Yamahas, the four-cylinder Hondas, all kinds of neat stuff. One year, a buddy and I rode our bikes down to the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds the Saturday before the races to get our tickets. At the box office, we could hear motorcycles on the track and just thought it must be practice or something. After purchasing our tickets, we strolled through the open gate next to the box office, and nobody stopped us, so we just went on back to towards the track. We walked up between turns one and two and watched as Scotty Parker chased Jay Springsteen around the track filming for Wild Worlds of Sports.

It was great watching them chase each other around the track. Except for folks associated with the filming, nobody else was there. We had the outside of turns one and two to ourselves. The camera could only hold enough film for a few laps, so when the film was used up at the end of one of the sessions, Parker pulled in but Springer stayed out for a lap of fun. He came right at us down the straightaway and into turn one and pitched that Harley into almost a full lock slide and held it all the way around one and two, with his feet up! One of the most amazing things I have ever seen. That was it. I have never been the same.

When I finally started racing, I have to say that I was smart enough to participate in a weekend of American Supercamp with Danny Walker and the crew. Guest instructors were Roger Lee Hayden and Jake Zemke. It was AWESOME! Then after a year of racing, I attended Eddie Mulder’s school at Willow Springs. Again, another fantastic experience. I was voted ‘Most Improved Rider’ by the end of the school. (Somebody told me I must have been pretty bad when I showed up!)

If you find yourself kind of stymied, take the time and the money to attend a class. What you learn will be invaluable and help move you up. Not to mention the chance to meet some other great racers and a legend or two while you are at it.

Being in Oregon, we don’t get as much track time as some folks who have better weather, but that doesn’t stop us. We have a top-secret test facility that we test on most of the winter (track in my backyard!). Yes, rain or shine. See, we are really sick and love to play in the mud. There is nothing more fun that bumping and grinding with your buddies on a rainy day on our short track with XR100’s or TTR125’s or whatever shows up! We have a couple of extra, so nobody goes without a ride. (Click here to see an aerial view of the play pen!)
