Frank Aragaki may as well have race gas pumping through his blood. He began racing at Willow Springs in 1986 and saw his career progress to racing at the National level on a wide variety of racebikes by the mid-1990s.
In 2003, Aragaki was asked if he'd like to move beyond just riding the bikes and use his vast experience building and tuning machines for other riders. Aragaki decided to give it a shot and has seen his life develop another facet as an excellent race mechanic.
In 2004, Aragaki joined Team Hammer and worked with Vincent Haskovec, a relationship that carried on into 2005. In 2006 and 2007, Aragaki worked with Geoff May on both his Supersport and Superstock bikes. In 2008, Aragaki worked with Blake Young. In 2009, Aragaki's expertise was put to the test when he was promoted to the Crew Chief for Jason DiSalvo in the middle of the season. Aragaki's versatility allows him to pitch in on whatever comes up.
The 2010 season presents a new challenge for Aragaki, as he serves as Crew Chief for former MotoGP star John Hopkins on the #21 M4 Monster Energy Suzuki GSX-R1000 Superbike. |
