Rich is a technical mastermind! He coaches ARS and at our track days he can be found in either Track School II or the School of ROCC.  His extensive riding and racing career has made him a huge asset to ZARS.

I have been an avid motorcyclist for more than 40 years.  I have logged more than 200,000 miles of seat time, spanning off-road, street, and closed course surfaces on two continents.  My competitive experience covers a variety of disciplines ranging from off-road Enduros and Hare Scrambles to Timed Road Runs to Roadracing.

In addition to competing, I have been a highly respected and experienced rider coach and instructor.  Building upon my engineering background and 20+ years as a Nationally Certified MSF Instructor, I specialize in developing and delivering advanced rider skills training.  In my spare time, I operate DirtBike Tech (an off-road riding school) and serve as a Lead Instructor for Zalusky Advanced Riding Schools.  I have personally coached over 4,000 students in the ways of riding a motorcycle proficiently.  My top priority is to help riders increase their comfort and confidence on the bike to improve their overall control of the motorcycle at all times.

Randy #62 has been a ZARS rider since day one, and is probably one of the most experienced riders on the team. Primarily into touring and ADV riding, Randy has always viewed ARS and Track Days as a way to build and maintain skills for better confidence and safety on the road.  As a ZARS Coach,  Randy enjoys adapting his thoughtful, methodical approach to the needs and interests of each student rider he gets to work with.  

#36 I’ve always been involved with two wheel motorsports and roadracing was always a goal. My most memorable race was my first expert win: it was downpouring rain and my first time on rain tires. I started in last then worked my way through once I figured out the traction situation. 2017 was dedicated to sorting out the R1 while still being competitive. I finished in the top 7 every race and finished the race season with a team victory during the 5 Hour EnduranceRace at Brainerd in September.

2018 SEASON GOALS: My biggest goal for this year is to place in the top three overall in Unlimited Expert with the Central Roadracing Association. I also want to compete with other racing organizations and place in the Top 5 during those race weekends. Off track I aim to maintain a positive outgoing attitude that supports good brand image on and off the track.
I hope to gain exposure for road racing and the CRA specifically in hopes to increase club size.

I started riding with ZARS in 2010 after a 20 year hiatus from motorcycles and the classes were a perfect way to to get reaquainted with riding. After two classes, I was hooked and signed up for every class offered. It would have been amazing to have this when I first started riding! Istarted coaching in 2013 and enjoy meeting the new riders, passing on the information that I have learned and watching others improve their riding.
