Growing up in the paddock, racing at the AMA Pro level, and building an empire to give back to motorcycle racing. In this episode of the Pin the Gas Podcast, we sit down with racer, entrepreneur, and mentor Eric Wood.
From trackside childhood days watching his dad race to competing against the best in the country at the AMA Pro level, Eric’s entire life has revolved around two wheels. He’s the mind behind Woodcraft CFM, the owner of the legendary Penguin Road Racing School, and the creator of the Gas on Bike YouTube channel.
Beyond racing and business, Eric founded a rider mentorship program 8 years ago to guide the next generation of racers—and he still lines up on the grid to this day. We dive deep into his journey, bike development, track day insights, and what it truly takes to succeed on and off the circuit.
In this episode, we cover: • Growing up at the racetrack and learning from his father
• The transition from local grids to AMA Pro Racing
• Launching Woodcraft CFM and Penguin Racing School
• Mentoring up-and-coming talent: 8 years of giving back
