About Evan:
As a mechanic, Evan Steel has been involved
in several interesting projects, such as the
World Supersport spec R-6 featured in
Sport Rider magazine, the "snorkel bike" (a
very unusual R1 featured in Motorcyclist),
and recently the ZX6RR Formula Extreme
project bike with Roadracing World. He was
also privateer racer Jeremy Toye's mechanic
from 1998 to 2003, enjoying great success at
Willow Springs (numerous class
championships, the overall track
championship twice, as well as winning races
against Chuck Graves, Josh Hayes, and
many other formidable racers). The
Toye/Steel team was also successful at a
national level, with a 6th place at Laguna
Seca being the most memorable finish. In
2004, Evan worked with rider Chris Peris,
winning a National in Canada on a
privately-owned bike, and finishing 10th
overall in the AMA Supersport
Championship with Team Valvoline Emgo
Suzuki.
About Phil:
Phil Allison has been around the racing scene
for about seven years. Most recently (in the
last two years) at the AMA national level as
head mechanic for AMA rider #57 Jeremy
Toye. In 2004 he built, tuned and maintained
the Roadracing World project R1 Superbike.
2004 Superbike Highlights:
Fontana -race 1 finished 13th
Fontana -race 2 finished 11th
Barber -race 2 finished 8th
Road America -race 1 finished 11th
Laguna Seca- finished 11th
Virginia- race 2 finished 10th
Finished off the season 7th at the Macau
International Circuit de Guia.
2005 was a trying year. A new bike, the
Roadracing World project Honda CBR
1000RR, was much more difficult. But by
the end of the season, when it was decided
to revert back to his own ways the bike did
come around. After building a 194 hp
motor, the bike was 5th fastest in Sunday
morning practice, and finished 9th at Virginia
International Raceway. After that John
Haner substituted for an injured Jeremy Toye
at the Macau International Circuit de Guia,
where the bike qualified on the 2nd row.
