Racing Info:

Lars Remsen started racing in CCS FL Unlimited Superbike at the halfway mark of the 2005 season on a stock 2002 Yamaha YZF-R1; winning his first race at Homestead Speedway, street body work and all, from the back of the grid. After dominating the remainder of the season Lars made a difficult decision to request expert license status ahead of schedule in order to improve his skills.

Personal Info

Born May 28, 1981. Lars lived in a small Maine coastal town until the age of 18, when he packed his things and moved to Florida. He spends much of his time working on a degree in Mechanical Engineering and training for the races.

Biography

Lars racing effort has been stricken with an impossibly small budget and is lacking in track time to practice between races. “Only through the generosity of my current sponsors and their support have I been able to make this race effort happen”. He has been racing on people's throw-away tires, yet persevering to stay competitive. "I am driven to compete and improve, and feel that I can rise to the challenge if given the opportunity".  Lars is also a mechanic, fabricator and engineering student, which has allowed him to maintain and upgrade his machine into a competitive bike.  "I am completely devoted to this sport on a number of levels and hope to earn the opportunity to prove my potential.

Despite any adversity faced, I always try to make the best of my situation while looking forward to future goals. My philosophy is that anything worth doing is worth doing right. I believe that this makes me a great candidate to promote my sponsors. Our team keeps a professional appearance, from our pit area to how we conduct ourselves throughout the weekend. I'd say that I am very outgoing and friendly at the track; always willing to talk with fellow racers/competitors. Much of the time this involves products I use from my sponsors and why I believe in them. Job #1 is to produce results on the track. This works two-fold in the promotion of my sponsors; by giving credibility to the team, and in getting time on the mic and published press to thank my supporters.

Why HEROIC:

I am very excited to be racing in and helping to promote HEROIC Racing Apparel. Todd is a great guy to work with and it is immediately apparent that he is breaking into the industry with the right intentions, like keeping riders as safe as possible and I am totally satisfied with his gear.  Both my teammate and I have been very impressed with the quality, function and looks of our HEROIC suits and after seeing how well they hold up when leather meets tarmac firsthand, I feel very comfortable out there pushing the envelope. This upcoming season is going to be very difficult. The amount of talent in the Florida region is really impressive and always increasing. Now I can focus on where my next set of tires is coming from, not whether or not I have a safe suit to race in!
