Jesse James

I grew up in a small town in Southern Illinois with nothing better to do than prove that I was the fastest on anything that moved. I have wanted to race at a professional level since I was very young. I bought my first sportbike in 2009, and took it straight to the track 2 months later. The next year I entered my first race with the Midwest Cafe Racing Association(MCRA) and placed 3rd. I went on that year to win the overall 2010 MCRA Amateur GT Challenge Series. I spent 2011 with CCS collecting various podiums in the Middleweight class. I decided to move up to a litre bike in 2012 and went back to the MCRA to hone my skills. This year I am focusing on wining the 2013 WERA/Michelin National Challenge Series in hopes of being competitive in 2014 at the national expert level
