About RPM Racing Team: Mike and Sharie Hurlbert started RPM Racing Team in 1980. It began as a Dirt Track Stock Car Racing team and grew into a NASCAR Craftsman Truck race team in 1994. In 1996 Mike retired from Nascar Truck racing. After a few years managing and working for NASCAR race teams Mike had started riding dirt bikes again. In 1999 Sharie and Mike were discussing long term future options and they decided to put their efforts into a motorcycle Off Road race team that would develop into a NASCAR type race team over the long term future. The AMA has always been part of Motorcycle racing and the team now focuses on WORCS and Endurocross series. Maria Forsberg joined the team in 2002 and has produced 4 WORCS Women’s Championships. Maria signed for her 8th year with the team and will race the GNCC Series in 2010 for RPM/KTM Racing Team. Bobby Prochnau the Canadian Off Road Champion joined in 2008 and finished 7th in Endurocross championship points in 2008 and 12th in 2009. Bobby won 8 National Canadian Enduro race in a row in 2009 on his way to winning that Championship. Brenden Ritzman joined the team for the 2009 season and finished 8th in Pro points. Brenden will contend for the WORCS Pro Championship. Our newest star, Kacy Martinez is the 2009 WORCS Women Pro Champion. Kacy will contend for the WORCS 2010 Championship and limited WMA races. We have put together many sponsors and supporters over the years and we couldn’t do it without them. Thank you so much to all the great promoters, riders, sponsors, media, fans, friends and family. We sincerely hope you will watch us go and grow. Racing is our life. “Success is our only option”.
