Our race team came from inspiration provided by my father, Mario Zanotti.  Dad created Zanotti Enterprises in the 1970's and was the master bike builder behind Steve Eklund.   Steve and Dad made an extraordinary team, winning the Grand National Championship in 1980, a substantial feat in beating the Harley Davidson factory team and Jay Springsteen.

Today, I carry on in the family tradition and am a motorcycle dirt track team owner and bike builder.  We do not have factory support.  What we do in our shop and on the track is a direct result of our efforts.

In 2005, Zanotti Racing took the California Cup Championship with rider Jethro Halbert and the team's Sam Halbert took second place. Our rider Mikey Rush brought home the 2005 Gene Romero West Coast Flat Track Series Open A Championship with Jethro taking a second place in the series.

In 2007, Zanotti Racing and Jethro took home 9th place in the AMA Grand National Twins series.

Last year, we improved to a 5th place in the GNC standings.   We're striving for a top three finish this year with regular podium finishes.  Our goal is clear - a steady progression to the Grand National Championship.  That's our plan, Mario.  Vincere ed essere fieri!

When I'm not at the shop or traveling to races, I enjoy spending time with my lovely wife Colleen, and daughters Amanda and Francesca.  They go beyond moral support and are an integral part of our team and the pursuit of the dream.
