On June the 1st 2001 Keith “The Professor” Code proprietor of the internationally famous Superbike School, renowned author and coach of some of the most famous names in motorcycle road racing officially signed on as an advisory board member and the official rider coach for the newly formed Freedom Motorsports Group Inc. A Los Angeles California based professional motorcycle road racing team founded by entrepreneur & businessman Kenton Gray.
Mr. Gray has been involved with racing personally since stepping in to his first race Kart at the age of 8. “Racing had been a part of my life from a very early age. Watching my father racing dirt track motorcycles around the local circuit of the Northwest was where the bug bit me.” From then on my dreams we filled with racing.” said Gray. “I stopped racing after high school for many reasons most of which were financial & a lack of resources to get to the next level. It has been over 10 years since I last raced anything and yet the desire to be involved with the sport has never diminished.”
“I decided last July that some how some way I was going to make racing & everything that goes with it my career. So by the tail end of October I had met Keith Code at one of the Superbike Schools were I also met Jason Paden & Stoney Landers, two of the schools top instructors & veteran racers who subsequently joined the Freedom Motorsports program as riders to contest the 600cc Sportbike class in the Formula USA National Road Racing Series.”
“It was after being at the Superbike School that all of the pieces of the puzzle began to appear. I envisioned how I could re-enter the sport of racing & build a viable motorsports organization and Keith Code was a part of that plan.
Just as Keith Code launches his newest business venture the Code R.A.C.E. School for motorcycle road racers only, new for 2001, Freedom Motorsports comes along to fully put to use all of the methodology and riding technology Keith has spent a lifetime developing. “This is just the beginning of the planned expansion for the Superbike School, our pilot school Code R.A.C.E. and the many books and video’s I have authored. I believe Kenton Gray and Freedom Motorsport Group Inc. will play no small part in this plan.”
“I have been around racing for over 40 years & have been a part of many racing programs and intimately involved with numerous careers of would be champions who have gone from the slow awkward beginnings to the top of the sport winning multi-world championships. It takes a unique individual with an incredible amount of intention to make it to the top.”
“When I first met Kenton he was just like many of the tens of thousands of students I have had the pleasure of meeting over the years who have a passion for the sport & are dreaming of championships & glory. My experience has proven that very few have what it takes much less the opportunity to make a full time living in racing much less win national & world championships.”
“Kent began to stand out immediately with his decision to start a race program and the swiftness in which he did it. Doing in months what takes others a year or so. His decision came late in the year when other teams were all ready for the upcoming season. All he had was an idea. Nothing more.”
“His drive & intense passion for the sport is plainly seen. He has proven to me by his fearless and dedicated actions in the development of his program that he has what it takes to win. From the fire in his eye to the air of confidence in his demeanor it is plain to see that he means business and intends to reach his goals of the development of a rock solid winning motorsports program that reaches all the way to the world level."
How can you argue or fight with that? You can’t. You just join him and enjoy the ride.
