Dane Westby rode off-road bikes with his father and friends near his home in Tulsa, Oklahoma, until his father offered him the opportunity to try road racing at age 16. Dane excelled at the sport and progressed from the club level with CMRA to the semi-pro level with AMA Sports and WERA, winning several Championships along the way, including the SV650 Suzuki Cup Championship in 2006 and 2007, four AMA Sports National Championships, four WERA National Challenge Series Championships and two WERA National Endurance Championships in the Medium weight Superbike class. Dane joined the Team Hammer organization in 2011 and forever etched his name in the AMA Pro record books by winning a Daytona SportBike race at Mid-Ohio.

Chris Ulrich has been around motorcycle road racing as long as he can remember and has been competing in AMA Pro Racing events for 14 years. He grew up riding in a box van with his parents John and Trudy Ulrich to racetracks all over the U.S. during the early years of Team Hammer, the racing program owned and operated by his family. Chris started mini-road racing on 50cc and 80cc motorcycles, then moved to purpose-built 125cc and 250cc Grand Prix race bikes as a teenager. When he's not racing Superbikes, Chris Ulrich continues as Racing Editor for Roadracing World magazine, traveling to new model introductions and race bike tests around the world and filling in readers on life as an AMA Pro in his monthly column called The Adventures of a Racer.
