Team

Paul McComsey

Paul McComsey raced his first two years with CVMA on an SV650, then spent a further 9 years with WMRRA on his SV & Daytona 675.

He retired from 2021-2024 but has come back racing for 2025! You can find Paul in the Short Fuse pits as the official crew chief and pasta chef.

Seppi Hutter

Seppi Hutter currently races a 2016 Yamaha R3 in WMRRA’s Ultralightweight class. His track riding / racing career began when he purchased a blue street Triumph Daytona 675 from Team Co-Founder Paul McComsey and Paul asked him “Have you ever been to a race track before?” A dedicated track bike was bought within months of that question and the addiction was started.

Seppi is also the avid bike builder. Seppi holds the team record for unique race classes entered, having built and entered upon two Triumph Daytona 675’s, a Kawasaki Ninja 250, and a Yamaha R3. Seppi is adding to this record by building a Suzuki SV 650 and plans to enter and race it before the end of the 2022 season.
