While hanging out at the races I was looking towards turn 9 from the pedestrian bridge and saw Ryan come out of turn 9 on the last lap of Formula Ultra and he looked behind him and immediately stood on the pegs and wheelied the entire straight beyond the start finish line with Kevin Pinkstaff chassing him... blew my mind. I immediately asked "who was that?!!"... that was my introduction to Chromie. That same year in 2018 he became the open class Formula Ultra champion in both OMRRA and WMRRA clubs. In 2019, Ryan focused on family. This sport (especially in the higher classes) is extremely expensive, and if there was money in it... guys with amazing talent like Ryan would be a known star. If Ryan is racing at a track near you... show up and watch his great talent - and hope to catch him wheelie!
Even Chromie had to start somewhere and learn valuable lessons on his quest to become the 2018 two state club champion in both OMRRA and WMRRA. In this racer profile, he talks about how he got started, un-forecasted adventures in learning, riders he looked up to, and some great advice. The video also includes some 2018 photos from our new contributing photographer Bob Edwards.
