A former owner, operator, mechanic and rider of his own team for 13 years, Perry has an encyclopedic knowledge of racing, and a gift for getting the most performance out of his motorcycles.

Perry turned professional in 1990 when he was just 23, was a regular in the top ten rankings for years, and finished third overall in the AMA championships his last three years. His best career finish was in 2002, when he made it to the podium by finishing second in the prestigious Daytona AMA 250 GP.

His record on the mechanical and tuning side of racing is equally impressive. Perry has served as chassis engineer, lead mechanic or crew chief for a number of top teams, including: American Honda (2005), Ducati (2006), and Kawasaki (2007). In 2008, he was lead mechanic and crew chief for Barrett Long in the Indianapolis Red Bull Moto GP.

In 2003, Perry founded the RPM Track School where—as a guest instructor—he continues to pass along his love of racing and mastery of the equipment to the next generation of racers.
